"I call him the devil, because he makes me want to sin. And every time he knocks, I can't help but let him in."
The story is set in the year 1953. Tom Riddle has been working at Borgin and Burke's for 8 years now, continuing his research in regards to the Founders of Hogwarts and searching for their relics to create his next horcruxes.
He enjoys his privacy, and his quiet work life, and becomes perplexed when a young witch begins frequenting the shop. She's careful around Tom, ensuring she does not give away the information she is withholding from him. Tom grows annoyed rather quickly, and frustrated when he realizes his charm does not work on the girl. She remains friendly with him, but keeps her distance nonetheless, which begins to irritate Tom.
He discovers that she gets a job at pub down the street from the shop, and he grows increasingly uncomfortable, getting the feeling that she was watching him. And although he would never admit it to her, he found her very attractive. He becomes to realize that deep down, he still has primal human desires that he intends to fulfill, specifically with her, but she hides a great secret that could prove highly fatal if it were to ever slip from her lips.
Thankfully for Tom, his quick wit and his silver tongue do not fail him, which will eventually have the young witch spilling her deepest and darkest secrets.

Lovestruck - Tom Riddle¹
"I'll burn the world down for you-just say the word." Tom Riddle was born under a love potion. So was Arabella Black. Neither of them was made to love. Cursed from birth, they've only known ambition, legacy, and emptiness. But when the cold, calculating heir of Slytherin crosses paths with the untouchable beauty of the Black family, something begins to crack. She challenges him. He intrigues her. Together, they begin a dangerous dance of power, secrets, and forbidden emotion. In a world where love was never meant for them- can two people who cannot love... love each other? But love has no place in their story-and yet, it threatens to consume them both. Two souls, born of false love. Two hearts that shouldn't beat for anyone. But could two people who couldn't love... love each other? Lovestruck is a dark, romantic reimagining of Tom Riddle's time at Hogwarts, told through the girl who might have been his only weakness. ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*: Tom Riddle x oc Enemies to lovers ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*: Lovestruck - Book 1: Started: 25.07.2025 Ended: --- Twisted Knifes - Book 2: Started: --- Ended:--- Darkness Within - Book 3: Started: --- Ended: --- ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*: a book by amz_riddle
Before the Fall {T.M.R.}
Evangeline never belonged anywhere - not truly. Her eyes held the weight of a thousand quiet losses, and her hands trembled with memories she dared not speak aloud. The war had taken everything from her - family, hope, peace. Yet, even as the world burned around her, she clung to one thing: a small, cold pendant that seemed to pulse with secrets older than time. On the edge of darkness, with nothing left to lose, she made a choice she could never have imagined. And when the world shifted beneath her feet, everything she knew shattered into silence. ________________________________________ In the shadow of a war-torn world, Evangeline - a haunted survivor carrying a mysterious pendant - is ripped from her time and thrown into the dark corridors of 1943 Hogwarts. Lost and alone in the past, she must navigate a world on the brink of darkness, where a young Tom Riddle's chilling ambitions are just beginning to take shape. As their fates collide, trust becomes a dangerous game and love a twisted, manipulative force. Enemies bound by secrets, both struggling to control their destinies - but only one can survive the shadows of what should never be. Tom Riddle x OC This will be a slow burn. Because a Tom Riddle suddenly head over heals for a girl is simply unrealistic. Read a story about a boy who thought he couldn't love and a girl whose love shine bright enough to cover it.tComplete![Hogwarts: a school of Witchcraft and Love (Tom Marvolo Riddle x F!reader) [✓]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/340170206-256-k405052.jpg)

And you start to realize that there is something very wrong with your friend. As he gets older, he becomes more manipulative, possessive and twisted. He starts to use his powers and his looks to control those around him-including you. Eventually, Tom's true nature is revealed, but by then, it's too late for you. You fall under his spell, completely under his control, and there is nothing anyone could do to save you from the darkness that awaits. *~*~* ♡ A slowburn/sociopathic/dark Tom Marvolo Riddle x F!reader book that centers around both reader's perspective and Tom's fall into madness/rise in influence and power. The 'effects' of Tom's influence become apperent later in the book, so the emotional conflicts/thoughts start later too. ♡ Reader insert ♡ Cross posted on ao3 ♡ I don't claim the Harry Potter characters in any way, the only thing I claim is the plot, some OC's and this, like my other books, are not made to make money off of them. ♡ I'm firmly against using AI for bookwriting as it takes away from the whole creativity standpoint. So you don't have to worry about that in any of my books. ♡ This book is very fucking long lol so just be aware.

Marked by Desire
❝ I don't want to share you, Y/N, ❞ He leaned in a little closer, his voice dropping to a near whisper. ❝ It's not like you don't know what I mean. It's not just anyone who gets to look at you like that. ❞ ❝ You're mine, Y/N. Don't forget that. ❞ ~~~ In the halls of Hogwarts, power and temptation collide. Y/N had always known Tom Riddle as a brilliant and enigmatic Slytherin with a dangerous aura. But when fate pulls you into his orbit, everything changes. As the line between friendship and something more blurs, you find yourself drawn into a world of intrigue, dark magic, and intense emotions-one that is as thrilling as it is perilous. At first, it's easy to dismiss Tom's attention. His cold, calculated persona never betrays the vulnerability beneath the surface. But as the two of you grow closer, his possessiveness emerges-subtle, then all-consuming. His dark gaze follows you everywhere, a silent claim that no one else dares challenge. As he slowly opens up to you in ways he never has with anyone else, you realize that you've become more than just an ally in his eyes-you've become his. And in a world where power is everything, you can't help but wonder just how far he'll go to keep you by his side. Dark desires. Unspoken bonds. And the suffocating weight of a love bound by shadows. Will you embrace the dangerous allure of the Dark Lord in the making? Or will his possessiveness be too much for you to bear?Complete

⚠️smut⚠️ "She hates me. Fuck, she hates me so much it pains her. But when i'm inside her, she can't help it. She loves it, and she can't hide it from me." ~ This story is about a cruel and hurtful boy named Draco Malfoy, and a determined and annoyed girl named Savanna Holcombe, who can't stop trying to get under each other's skin. Something about that creates so much tension, that's almost impossible for them to ignore. Disclaimer: This is a story that includes topics like jealousy, possession, and smut. If any of those make you uncomfortable or triggered, feel free to click off. Also, Tom Riddle is alive and is one of the characters, we figure out why this is later in the story. I am aware that we don't get too much backstory on Savanna, but that will unfold as the story continues. Apologies for a rough start of the book. (I'm in the process of editing any mistakes, so please ignore those if you see any!) Lastly, you can imagine these characters in year 6 Savanna Character Description: Long dark brown hair Smokey blue eyes Fair skin Pureblood Slytherin Thank you for reading, and make sure to vote and comment! <3 highest rankings: #1 - toxicdraco #1 - spice #1 - enemiestolovers #1 - dracolovestoryComplete
destruction | tom riddle
― "You are my ruin - and my salvation." ― Lilith Vale was born different - too sharp, too cold, and far too powerful for someone so young. Raised on dark magic and haunted by her father's death, she's spent her life searching for the spell that destroyed him... and nearly took her with it. Now in her final year at Hogwarts, she wears the badge of Head Girl like a mask. To the rest of the school, she's brilliant, distant, untouchable. But underneath, Lilith is spiraling - unraveling under the weight of secrets, survivor's guilt, and a hunger for knowledge that no book seems able to satisfy. Then comes him.. Tom Riddle - charming, calculated, and dangerously intelligent. He's the only one who sees her as more than a quiet storm. And the only one whose mind she can't seem to read. He wants to know what she's hiding. She wants to know why he's watching. Their connection is a game of power and proximity. A cold war wrapped in stolen glances and veiled threats. But something dark is stirring at Hogwarts - students are disappearing, ancient symbols are resurfacing, and Lilith is getting too close to the truth. To the truth about her father. To the truth about Tom. And to the truth about herself. Because some magic isn't meant to be studied. Some obsessions aren't meant to be survived. And some love stories are written only to end in destruction. ☽｡⋆Complete
