    Summary

    "I love you," Voldemort whispered with his mouth against Harry's forehead. “I’m sorry, I’m trying, I’ll be better, I… I love you.”

    He lowered his head, intent to kiss him. Harry almost let him, wanting nothing more than to feel his lips one last time before falling asleep, but he stopped him at the last moment.

    “Wait.”

    He drew in a deep breath. He rubbed his wrists where the shackles no longer were, bare and exposed skin, his magic free.

    “I… have to tell you something.”

     

    (an alternative ending to Hauntingly, picking up at the end of chapter 46)

    Summary

    It seems laughable now to think that he could ever have been destined for more than this. From a boy so lucky to be alive they gave him a lofty title to match, to the supposed savior of humanity, to tawdry spoils of the very war he lost. It is a new kind of bravery Harry must hold onto these days, if he is to get through this with any of his sanity or self-respect left intact.

    He won't just give up on living though, on hope. Somebody has to be here, after all, to take care of the girl, so if not for himself, then he'll at least do it for her. He can suffer any indignity thrown his way if it means that just one child born into this endless, bitter cycle of longing and loathing will grow up loved.

    Sometimes, a ray of sunshine will break through the storm clouds even when it's always raining.

    Summary

    ”Are you my angel?” Tom whispers.

    Harry kills Voldemort, and the next thing he knows, he’s being dragged back in time—again and again—to Tom Riddle’s childhood.

    Tom’s all alone in a world that doesn’t care about him. With every return, his obsession with Harry grows.

    Tom’s convinced Harry’s there to save him—that he’s meant to be his. And the boy who will become a monster?

    He’ll stop at nothing to keep him.

    (Harry thought he was done with Voldemort—but it seems Tom Riddle isn’t finished with him.)
