"Are you implying that I am responsible for Voldemort's actions?" Dumbledore's voice had finally turned cold. "No, I'm saying you're responsible for neglecting a young boy! You treated him with nothing but suspicion and coldness, and when he grew up suspicious and cold you took that as confirmation that you were always right about him." "I assume you have a reason for laying these heavy charges at my feet," said Dumbledore quietly. She sighed. "I just think... maybe you should take your own advice and try to solve this problem with love, not destruction. You don't have to destroy a Horcrux. You can heal it." "You speak of remorse," Dumbledore didn't sound impressed. "If I may, I see very little chance of convincing Voldemort to feel empathy for the things he has done -" "Not Voldemort," she interrupted. "Tom." "You are suggesting that we use Voldemort's first Horcrux to reanimate sixteen-year-old Tom Riddle." Dumbledore's tone left much to be desired. ✨Reposting from Ao3 and ff.net!!✨

Tsuna figured that the universe was out to get him because his life couldn't get suckier than what he was going through in his short pubescent life. So he went for a walk, hoping to clear his head, literally. As fate would have had it - under strange circumstances - he met a girl who could possibly be the best thing to happen to him. Mia hadn't thought anything of the boy that she met one night knocked out on the street other than he was funny. He was timid and not at all the strongest but he was certainly something. Fate led her to him for a reason and that was to stay by his side. Turns out he was everything she could have asked for. A rewriting of Katekyo Hitman Reborn with an original character or an alternative universe. Note: Originally posted on fanfiction.net but on the insistence of a friend.

She only wanted to live a long and happy life. But in that world, that was too much to ask for.
