Summary
“You have a chance to save everyone. Including the one you were always told could never be saved.”
Right, Harry thought. No pressure, then.Harry can't bring himself to leave Voldemort's horcrux behind, suffering and alone on the floor of the almost-afterlife.
After the train takes him back - back to 1943, that is - he endures about five minutes of Tom Riddle's company before wondering if he should have just set the cursed thing on fire.

Summary
Tom Riddle is dead. There is absolutely, positively, one-hundred-percent no way he's skulking around Grimmauld Place haunting their post-war life.
Of course, it's no use trying to tell him that.

Summary
apostasy
noun. the abandonment of a religious belief or political principle“I killed your parents,” Tom points out. “There’s a piece of me out there who wants you dead. Will you kill him too?”
“Isn’t that a bit like suicide? Killing a part of yourself?”
“Then surely,” Tom stretches out, red-brown eyes meeting Harry's, "Killing you is suicide for me, for you are part of me."Less than a ghost, more than a spirit, Harry Potter grows up with the companion of a broken boy.

Summary
Perhaps more than Parseltongue runs through Tom's veins.
The Gaunts have always carried a hunger in their blood. Not just for power—but for each other.
As Tom’s wrist works beneath the covers, he thinks about their legacy, and the way it had dripped from Harry’s tongue.
He feels no shame for his urges. Tradition is sacred, after all.
And Tom has always wanted a family.

Summary
Tom Riddle owns one good quill, given to him by a boy who had so many he didn't bother to count. It was the first entry in the ledger.
Every gift Harry Potter gives him (the quill, the book, the ink, the gloves, the robes) gets a line, and Tom pays it back the only way he can: fixing Harry's homework, earning his marks for him, and eventually, kissing him on a cold balcony because twelve Galleons' worth of dress robes demand a currency beyond essays.
Harry thinks they're falling in love. Tom thinks he's staying solvent.
This is the story of every object between them, and the moment Tom finally stops counting.
