Summary
When Harry is called to the Headmasters office at the beginning of his sixth year he isn't sure what to expect. He at least really didn't see it coming that he would become Master of Death, travel back in time to become someone else, and more importantly to stop Voldemort before he would be lost to the monster.

''You must understand, Harry, that it's very dark magic. I don't want to taint your soul.''
Harry hisses, feeling his rage rear its ugly head again. You could taste his magic in the air, and Harry almost imagined the tendrils swirling around him wildly. Dumbledore's eyes widened.
''I call bullshit! The darkest curse was thrown at me when I was a baby, I'm almost of age, and you should just fucking tell me what I need to know. And I mean really what I need to know, and not what you want me to know. I think it's time to trust me, to trust your weapon because that's all I am, right? A soldier in this war, a weapon to end the Dark Lord, just a means to an end. The savior of the wizarding world, the boy who lived, the chosen one, and all that other rubbish!''

Summary
Tom has never needed anyone. Why would he? He has himself, his magic, his intellect. He can defeat anything. He can defeat death. Or so he believes, right up until the night of his eighteenth birthday when he murders his family and creates his second horcrux and, somehow, finds himself dead. Then, fifty years later, he wakes up.
Harry's having a crap time of it. Voldemort's back, Dumbledore's ignoring him, the Order won't let him in on their secrets, and according to the papers, Harry's a liar. The nightmares, the pain peppering his scar, the floods of anger - they're not helping. What he really needs is a distraction.
Good thing Harry and Tom are on a collision course.
(In which Ringcrux Tom is dropped into 5th year canon - part one!)

Summary
Harry Potter is murdered, crucified for the last-ditch effort at the greater good. But death is not as black and white as one would want it, not when Death claims you as his master. Harry has a do-over, reincarnated back into his past life, with all the knowledge he needs to piece back together with an old enemy that might just be the only one that can save him from his grizzly fate in 1999.
Thinking back on it there really should have been a rule. Don’t travel back in time if you are just going to fall in love with the person that you are destined to kill. And as an add on if you are going to fall in love with them make sure that they stay focused on the task at hand and do not overindulge in dark magic and madness along the way.

Summary
Harry Potter was exhausted. He just wanted everything to be over, but the violence never stopped. Even with the defeat of Voldemort and coming back from the Dead, a new war arose. Dumbledore has turned everyone he's ever loved against him. So Harry throws it all away. One last sacrifice and he'd find peace.
Not.
Death isn't done with Harry yet. Forcing him back in time to 1943 Harry has to traverse the oddly similar world of Hogwarts while trying to stay committed to his new lifestyle of apathy. Screw politics. Screw power. Screw Voldemort! Except Tom Riddle seems to be taking that last suggestion seriously. Avoiding manipulation, learning new magic, and trying not to kill the teenage Dark Lord has never been harder.
