Keep My Candle Burning by keepmycandleburning

Summary
An intensely canon-compliant humanized Voldemort's POV of his life throughout both wars, with flashbacks to his younger years. Centered around his relationship with Bellatrix, and his journey with love, family, and grief, but very all-encompassing and inclusive of everything and everyone I could think of.
The Voldemort we see in words—from Dumbledore, from Harry—is not the Voldemort we see in actions. How do we bridge the gap between the Voldemort that Dumbledore claims has no idea what friendship is and the Voldemort that calls his Death Eaters his family when they’re not even present? gives Bella a piece of his soul? drags her by hand out of the Ministry? is clearly liked as a person at least somewhat by his followers? has at least one person willing to physically care for him for nearly a year? has multiple people willing to go to Azkaban for life for the chance to have him back?
Voldemort is not the person Dumbledore thinks (or claims to think, so that Harry will kill himself) he is at all, but is a human being with human emotions and human thoughts and human relationships, however unique.

Summary
Something is alarmingly different about Harry Potter's magic and he's hoping that no one else notices. It is left to him to figure out why before it endangers him or anyone else, and keep it secret from those who'd want to use it for their own purposes.

Summary
There were rumours. Mere whispers, spoken in the dark alleyways of Knockturn Alley and its underbelly slums, of a boy, or perhaps a young man, with green eyes and a strange affinity for the dead. A necromancer of some sort. Some said he lured people in to steal their souls. Others said that he would make the dead speak and reveal secrets thought lost - for a price, of course.
Voldemort did not know what the truth was, and he did not care to know. The only thing Voldemort was concerned with was if the boy would prove useful.
(And putting an end to this maddening obsession).
___Harry was not particularly happy to find himself in the past, wearing somebody else’s skin, and without a single knut to his name. And he was even less enthusiastic to learn that he had caught Voldemort’s attention. But he would make do, as he always has done.

Summary
Imagine the horror Dumbledore felt when the first year check-in on Harry resulted in the Dursleys telling him they had no idea what he was talking about, as they never had the young Potter as their ward.
A toddler laughs joyfully, wobbling towards the woman who has crazier hair than he does. “Come here, itty-bitty-baby!” Bellatrix cackled, her eyes shining.

Politics and schmoozing. Kronnis thought he'd be getting a break from it all when an opportunity for adventure manifests itself quite literally before him.

The Emperor is having a great time, at least - and the Forbidden Forest has no shortage of giant spiders to fry!
Buckle up, because these boys are going to cause quite a stir in the magical community! Takes place some years after the events of Baldur's Gate 3. Expect social manipulation - gotta use all 20 of those charisma points for something, and boyfriends who manipulate together stay together.

The Prince of Bluetspur by troubledTmesis
Fandoms: Dungeons & Dragons (Roleplaying Game), Ravenloft (Setting)
09 Nov 2023
Tags
Summary
In the realm of Ravenloft, a land of chilling mists governed by dark, mysterious powers, some of the most twisted and unabashed villains from across the multiverse are kept imprisoned in realms based on their deepest desires and fears. They are known as Darklords, and they are trapped, unable to leave the plane, kept in idealized realms that give them everything -- everything but the one thing they want most.
The Dark Powers are always hungry, and always watching for those who might fall under their sway and become new Darklords in their own right. They will tempt the denizens of Ravenloft with promises of power and glory before pulling them into the abyss.
This is the story of one such creature, the servant of a Darklord with ambitions to surpass their master, one determined to accrue whatever power they could grasp, through any means necessary. It is also a story of one of the oldest widely-renowned infinite loop exploits in D&D 3.5e, dating back to the venerable Spring of 2003, when it was still just 3rd Edition -- and an exploration of how that exploit might have come to be achieved by a character.Series

Summary
During the summer before his third year of School, Harry leaves his home to escape from his awful relatives. While cooling his head he gets scooped up by a passing Mind Flayer Nautiliod and before he knows what's going on he's got a tadpole added to his head. Luckily his magic offers him some protection from getting his brain eaten and his body transformed into a brain eating tentacle monster. Unluckily that tadpole isn't going anywhere. Now Harry must escape from the Illithid colony and get back home. And that's the easy part. The hard part will be navigating his magical education without anyone realizing his mind has a new passenger with new powers all the while dark forces are beginning to rise in the magical world.
Also is it just him, or is the tadpole starting to talk some sense about the benefits of having a hive mind watching over society?

Summary
Harry Potter has just escaped the clutches of Lord Voldemort. The Wizarding World is ecstatic, Harry is more famous than ever (much to Snape’s annoyance), and Draco Malfoy can finally catch a break.
Things would be back to normal, if it wasn’t for Harry’s continued dreams with a certain Tom Riddle. A young and handsome man who’s more connected to Voldemort than Harry ever imagined. Tom Riddle is a fantasy that’s far more alluring than Harry would like to admit.
What happens when Voldemort tries to convince Harry to return to his side willingly? What happens when Harry tries to find some good in Tom Riddle and change him for the better? Who will give in first? Who will change forever? Surely, the Wizarding World will never be the same.
