Tom Riddle, an abandoned child of fate, grows up in a place of neglect and resentment. As he navigates a world that never seemed to care for him, his heart hardens, his mind sharpens, and his soul becomes consumed by anger. But beneath the cold exterior lies the question: could he ever find love? Could he let go of the bitterness that has defined his life? Or is redemption simply beyond his grasp, lost to the darkness that threatens to consume him? This is the story of a boy who never knew kindness-will he ever learn to embrace it, or is he destined to be the monster the world fears?

"To some, a monster, and to others, a leader. Either way, I became god." "Did you really? Do you think God becomes trapped?" Having just earned your doctorate, you decide to work in the Azkaban Secure Facility for the Criminally Insane. There, you encounter inmate Tom Riddle, who is completely delusional, and is under the devastatingly incorrect impression he is a wizard called Lord Voldemort. From there, your life begins to spiral out of control as you learn more and more about Tom's world, until you become a part of it. Perhaps Tom hadn't been so delusional after all. In some way, you and he were the same kind of monster. - A/N: Thank you for all the love! This story gets a lot of parallels to the Joker and Harley Quinn, as well as to Shutter Island, but that was completely unintentional. This fic is actually inspired by NBC's Hannibal - particularly the relationship between Will Graham and Matthew Brown.

"TO LOVE HIM WAS TO BECOME IN HIS IMAGE, NOT A WORSHIPPER BUT A TWIN FLAME." Merope Eloween Potter is the eldest daughter of Lily and James Potter, and the older sister of Harry. Also known as the girl who survived, Merope holds this title for reasons far different ── and far darker ── than her brother's, reasons no one truly understands until the very end. What no one can deny is the unsettling resemblance between Merope and Tom Riddle ── not just in appearance, but in mind, in ambition, in the eerie stillness behind their eyes. That silent, inevitable connection shapes everything she becomes. And one day, fate, in all its cruel irony, brings Merope face-to-face with Tom Riddle ── the man who murdered her parents and the greatest enemy of her little brother. And from that moment on, nothing is ever the same.

At Hogwarts, Professor Eliza Riddle carries a name steeped in legend-and darkness. Once bound by love to the boy who would become Lord Voldemort, Eliza has spent years hiding her past behind quiet lessons and watchful eyes. But when her students begin to ask questions-especially a curious fifth-year named Harry Potter-Eliza's carefully guarded secrets start to unravel. As whispers of Voldemort's return stir fear across the wizarding world, Eliza is drawn back into the shadows she left behind. Old alliances are rekindled, the Knights of Riddle gather once more, and the castle prepares for war. Caught between duty and desire, between the students she's sworn to protect and the man who once held her heart, Eliza must make an impossible choice. In the final battle, where love and loyalty are tested and the fate of magic hangs in the balance, Eliza discovers that even the darkest soul may carry a flicker of light-and sometimes, the greatest weapon isn't power, but love. Hauntingly romantic and rich with lore, this is the untold story of the woman who loved Tom Riddle-and what happened when he loved her back.

"Look me in the eye and tell me you hate me, you can't, can you love?" Assigned the nearly impossible task of infiltrating Tom Riddle's inner circle, Rosalie Grindelwald develops a strong disdain for Tom and his calculated exterior when she figures out that Tom harbours a desire to conquer the world in his darkness. However, the lines between duty and desire blur as Tom and Rosalie find themselves drawn to each other, with Tom fuelled by possession and obsession.

reverie /ˈrɛv(ə)ri/ - a state of being lost in one's thoughts; a dream that feels almost real. Gisèle Mortaine was born with a gift that felt more like a curse, necromancy ran through her veins like poison. The Ministry called it a condition, her family called it a legacy. The rest of the world simply called her dangerous. Monitored. Controlled. Experimented on. She grew up learning that power was never hers to keep. Tom Riddle was different. Power didn't haunt him - he hunted it. He watched her from the shadows of Hogwarts, fascinated and furious that something so ancient, so forbidden, could belong to someone other than him. He wanted it, her magic, her knowledge, her undoing. And so began their quiet war: brilliance against brilliance, manipulation against manipulation. Hate dressed as fascination. Obsession mistaken for destiny. Because sometimes, to possess power, you must destroy the one who holds it. And sometimes, what begins as a reverie - a dream - becomes the nightmare you cannot wake from.
