Summary
“Abashed the Devil stood, and felt how awful goodness is, and saw virtue in her shape how lovely: saw, and pined his loss."
-John Milton, 'Paradise Lost'In September of 1942, Tom Riddle is a brilliant, bitter schoolboy on the precipice of becoming a monster. Already wearing his first Horcrux around his finger, he doesn’t plan to let anything halt his ascent towards realizing his ultimate goal: becoming the greatest Dark Lord the world has ever seen.
But when a powerful and mysterious transfer student arrives at Hogwarts, Tom’s initial spark of interest rapidly ignites into an all-consuming obsession, threatening to unravel his carefully laid plans.
When ambition and pride run up against regret and repentance, what will be the outcome? Is there such thing as a soul too mutilated to save?

Summary
The killing curse still rebounds that fateful Halloween night, but it hits the roof instead of its caster. The Dark Lord wakes to find his magic subdued in Azkaban’s highest fortress. For twenty-three years a monster waits in the dark, chained and alone, until suddenly there is light.
Harry Potter, newly licensed Mind Healer, has finally put his fame to good use by advocating for Hermione Granger’s Azkaban Reform Initiative. Dementors are out and clean living conditions, fresh water, and Ministry-mandated mental health counseling is in. But the plan can’t succeed until every prisoner gets the resources they need, and no one else wants this assignment…
In which Harry puts personal history aside to take on his hardest job yet.
“Talk to me, please. Give me a chance to make you better.”
Lord Voldemort looks downright murderous.

Summary
The stranger who interrupts their duel in the graveyard is the spitting image of an older James Potter, sans the streaks of red in his hair. Except he has Harry’s scar. Their glasses are the same too.
What sets this man apart from the child before him and his parents, however, are his eyes. Voldemort does not see Lily Potter or the Killing Curse reflected back at him. He sees the sparkling golden sand from within a Time Turner instead.
The perfect trophy, Voldemort decides immediately, to commemorate his resurrection.
In which an older, much more experienced Harry Potter accidentally time travels back to his fourth year and decides he's going to give his younger self the father figure he deserved. Too bad Voldemort can't seem to leave him the fuck alone.
