    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

    Experience the events of Hogwarts Legacy through the eyes of Sebastian Sallow.

    When Damien, a mysterious new Ravenclaw, arrives in Sebastian's fifth year, Sebastian must navigate competing priorities: finding a cure for his twin sister, keeping his friendships intact, managing his academic workload, and now, exploring an unexpected new connection with surprising potential.

    But amidst it all, temptation lurks - Dark Magic's seductive call, promising power but threatening to swallow Sebastian whole. As the shadows beckon, will anyone be there to save him?

    Ominis stood back up, brushing his trousers absentmindedly. "The new Ravenclaw is full of surprises, wouldn't you say?"

    "You can say that again," Sebastian replied, a faint smile playing at the corner of his lips.

    Who was Damien? What was his story? Sebastian would have to investigate for himself.

    Summary

    Tom and Harry grow up together, thick as thieves at Wool's, but Slytherin politics drive a wedge between them as they grow older. In a desperate attempt to salvage their friendship, Tom coerces Harry to attend a pureblood holiday abroad in the South Pacific... Right in the middle of an active warzone.

    In the age-old tale of yacht meets sea mine, six teenage boys end up stranded on an uncharted island. As hierarchies shatter and supplies run out, the group also is forced to face monstrous horrors lurking in the shadows of the jungle, waiting for anyone to make a mistake. Conflict, violence, and cruelty. Death.

    For Tom and Harry to survive, each must make a choice. Will they choose each other? Or will their ideals and ambitions separate them forever?
