Things take a surprising turn when Harry meets Tom and learns about creature mates. Is this the start of something wonderful or just another twist in Harry's unpredictable life? Will he finally find the love he's always craved and never gotten? Disclaimer: This story is based on characters and situations created and owned by J. K.

What if that night in Godric's Hollow went differently? What if Harry did die? What if Death stepped in and made a deal with the Savior of the Wizarding World? How different would Harry's life be after that deal? (Or, Harry makes a deal with Death and in exchange gains something Voldemort has fought his entire life for. Immortality. And a strange friendship with Death)
