Tom and the transfer students that keeps trying to kill him
Lo peor es que puedo imaginar el dialogo:
Tom: tu constante osadia no hace otra cosa que avivar la llama de mi ira (en sus pensamientos: y de mi obsesion)
Harry intentando mantener oculto el material altamente venenoso en polvo que habia intentado utilizar para matar a Tom: nuestros conceptos de ira son altamente diferentes, no te parece?
Regulus: God, Sirius is so scary. You were right
James: We have to talk about the things he could use to pull us apart
Regulus: Okay, erm, I have been banned for my lifetime from Lake Ontario. Don't ask
James: Okay. What else do you have?
Regulus: My fear of pears
James:
James: Okay, you're afraid of pears
Regulus: And pear-shaped people
James: Uh, thatโs interesting
James: I'm not convinced I know how to read, Iโve just memorized a lot of words
Regulus: Doctors say I might grow another 18 inches
James: That's a different image of you. I'm gonna get past that. I'm past it
James: The moon landingโฆwhich is obviously fakeโ
Regulus: No, it's not obviously fake. What? Are you crazy?!
James: The moon landingโs definitely fake. The shadows are off!
Regulus: No, theyโre not!
James: Uh, yes they are, I looked at photos on the internet
Regulus: James, thatโsโ
James: The shadows are off!
Regulus: The shadows are not off! Those photos are photoshoppedโ
James: Thatโs not true
Regulus: People do that as a joke to trick stupid people!
James, sarcastically: Oh, yeah, you can just photoshop stuffโ
Regulus: Wait a minute
James:
Regulus: Heโs doing it already, heโs getting in our heads!
James: Unbelievable, good call
Wait hear me out
Ton turning harry into his sugar daddy as in he just gets into the room and shoves s magazine into his hand and goes buy this and harry is like sure whatever and that escalates to the point where he is like I need money for this and harry just gives him his key for the vaults and eventually tom realizes hm I dont like this so he walks into the room and says "we have to get married" and Harry goes "... Yeah that's more convenient"
I'm running on caffeine so the grammar is iffy but hear me out
Ok...
They study in the same year at hogwarts, not the same house, but in the first year Tom tutored Harry for a few coins, so that's how they started to know each other. One day Tom said that he wanted something, but he said it more to the air than to Harry, it was an expensive thing and he has been saving for months to get, and harry just gives to him as a token of friendship and Tom goes like ????
After that it became a thing, Tom wanted chocolate he said it out loud Harry I bought it for him, at this point harry was a wishing well, and Tom was good in taking advantage of things so he just followed the waves.
Harry was rich so it wasn't a problem for him to buy Tom's hogwarts materials or vests so tom went with him to the Diagonal Alley in the beginning of their fifth year at Hogwarts, Harry bought him whatever tom held for to long, and Tom Knew that.
Harry's friends got pissed off with the situation, they thought Tom was taking advantage of Harry who was too innocent to notice.
Harry knew it tho. He was aware from the beginning, but what could he do when Tom had such a beautiful face? One look from Tom and he became butter on a hot day.
Tom also knew Harry knew, of course, he wasn't stupid. But when they graduate and Harry asked him if he wanted to share an apartment, a big one, and offered a job at his family's potions company as an internship, that was another level. Even though absurd, why would Tom refuse, it wasn't his nature.
After that they pretty much lived a married life, until they decided that to marry was easier than explaining the relationship they had.
Then the romance story actually begins
Tom thought it was just convenience, tho he didn't fully understand what Harry would gain with that. At the beginning of it all he thought Harry liked him but if he did, Harry would have confessed years ago.
On the other hand, Harry is marrying his childhood crush and didn't even needed to confess (his biggest fear of all time) because the marriage was proposed by Tom who didn't like to be called sugar baby by everyone else. So for him it was a win win situation, and he couldn't be more proud of himself.
In almost all tomarry fics Harry is the one always swooning over tom. I want one where tom is completely smitten, cause we know that harry looks good (he is not a carbon copy of James for goodness sake, people only said that because he resembled him the most and people looked for similarities between harry and James and told him that they looked exactly like each other, he has Lily's eyes, nose and mouth)
Petition for simp tom, feel free to drop links of such fics in the comments
soulmate au where your soulmateโs name is written on your wrist, but itโs their true name.
this isnโt an issue with majority of the population. many people are content with their names and assume their soulmates are the same.
however, it becomes more challenging when these names donโt exactly exist yet. the soulmates of people still in the closet walk around with their soulmateโs real names, their soulmates none the wiser. those who go by nicknames that donโt exist yet. those who change their names for any other reason.
tom hates his name and the one etched across his wrist. in sharp writing, almost like someone drew a dagger and blindly carved it, layed the name โharryโ. right above his vein.
it felt like painful irony that someone like him would get such an average name. someone of tomโs excellence, and extremely common name. โa perfect pairโ he would internally sneer.
the fact that its a boyโs name is the icing on the cake. tom learns to bind his wrist in thick bandages, ensuring that nobody could peek through the wraps.
tom grows up and eventually forgets about the name. he doesnโt need foolish things like love when heโs meant for something greater. a soulmate would only weigh him down. keep him chained to Earth when he was meant to soar. he couldnโt even tell you the name anymore.
(in reality, tom goes to bed clutching his wrist. his thumb unconsciously caresses the name when heโs in thought. a bitter ache thrums in his chest when he sees his peers walk around the halls, arm-in-arm with their soulmates.
what makes them so much better than him that he canโt find his soulmate? whatโs wrong with him? has fate and lady magic deemed him unworthy of her blessing? where is harry?)
and yet, war does a wonderful job of taking things off peopleโs minds. so when tomorrow sheds his โoh, so muggleโ name for the elegant โvoldemortโ, he doesnโt consider the effect this will take on his soulmateโs wrist.
he doesnโt fully understand until he rises again, robed by pettigrew, looking different. he looks inhuman, but not as much as he should have been, given the blood was taken (forcibly) by an enemy.
as his ruby eyes finally land on potter, he notices a trickle of red dripping off his arm.
a scratched, bleeding red โvoldemortโ on his wrist.
Right person, wrong time
itโs too bad that the fact that harry is quite literally the jesus christ of the wizarding world really damages his ability to follow his promising career as a professional seeker. viktor krum, best seeker in the world, genuinely compliments harry on how well he flies and harry starts to have an intelligent conversation with him about their techniquesโฆ ludo bagman ANOTHER professional athlete IMMEDIATELY comments upon harryโs incredible flying ability likeโฆ auror who???? like, relax. take a few years off and just go be the best seeker alive, why not? you are literally going to become minister of magic anyway at some point and you are literally swimming in ancestral peverell goldโฆ go. go be a seeker. have a gay experience. travel the world in a kind-spirited and incredibly laid back environment. youโll still have a lot of adventures but you might just be stoned for half of them. youโve seen death harry. itโs time
Ahhhh Harry deserves the world and more. Be free of all the burden he was saddled with, explore himself and enjoy his life with no pressure.
Hot take: the most appealing concept possible for Voldemort's appearance is that the horcruxes affecting his features caused him to perform body mods to make it seem intentional. There's no reason for horcruxes to give him snake features specifically, that's absolutely a personal choice.
And when undoing horcruxes there's something so vulnerable of seeing those changes without the spooky dark lord corruption it was made to compliment. Like shaving (descaling?) a fursona to see the person underneath.
Bonus:
