Summary
Harry Potter died saving everyone. But the world kept turning, and something even worse came. Death drops him off in snowy 1938 London to stop the world from burning once more.
Just one problem. He's got paws instead of thumbs.
In the garden of Wool's Orphanage, Tom Riddle's first friend is a tiny snake. Billy Stubbs kills her with a trowel. Tom takes his revenge - brilliant and vicious, but he's so desperately outnumbered that when his bullies corner him, Harry can't help but intervene. A debt Tom repays by designing a collar that can bind a Grim.
Sometimes the road to redemption is paved with ash.
— a.k.a. a dark time-travel romance following Tom's journey from boy to man, Harry's struggle between justice and mercy, and whether caring can redeem someone - or if it only makes them worse.

Summary
In the middle of their second year, Draco and Harry discover they're soulmates and do their best to keep it a secret from everyone.
Their best isn't perfect.
~
“Are you trying to get killed, Potter?” Malfoy drawls, stalking forward. Quick as a serpent himself, he reaches out and grabs the snake just below the head. It thrashes in his grip, but is no longer able to bite anyone. “This is a poisonous snake, and I doubt anyone brought a bezoar with them.”
Harry glares. He opens his mouth, and feels the beginning the snake’s language pass his lips, and this isn’t what he wants, what’s the point of insulting Malfoy if he can’t understand him –
Malfoy’s eyes widen. He slaps his hand over Harry’s mouth, “Potter, what the hell–”
