In an alternate world of Harry Potter, the souls of wizardfolk-worshippers of Lady Magic-were divided into two in the earliest days of their creation, each half paired with another person's. Overcome by the sudden emptiness within them and the weakening of their magic, the wizardfolk begged Lady Magic to return their missing halves. In response, Lady Magic bestowed soul marks upon them and tasked them with the lifelong quest of finding the person who carried the missing half of their souls.
Set in the early 1990s, the modern era of Wizarding Britain, the prodigious Tom Riddle-now known as Thomas Slytherin-returns from a long journey across the world in a desperate search for his missing half. Having inherited the Slytherin name, he steps into the political arena of Wizarding Britain and challenges the centuries-old laws of the Ministry, promising greatness and progress should he rise to power.
Meanwhile, Alix Clementine lives as the Heir to the Most Noble and Most Ancient House of Clementine, a renowned lineage admired by many. Their House is built on a power passed down only through their bloodline-the ability to bond with and influence all beasts, magical or otherwise.

Spiralborne: The Rise of Caelum and Noctus
Harry Potter was never just the Boy Who Lived. He was something ancient. Something remembered. Something waking. When Hogwarts whispers that Harry is the Heir of Slytherin, they don't understand how close to the truth they are-or how far they've underestimated him. As fire spreads and fear deepens, Harry becomes less a student and more a storm. But he's not alone. Tom Riddle-Lord Voldemort-feels it too. A pull. A bond. A memory that aches. What began as enmity twists into something greater: love, yes-but also prophecy, power, and the rebirth of a forgotten magic. Together, they become Caelum and Noctus, names from the Spiral-the oldest magic the world tried to forget. Together, they will unmake fear, challenge gods, and rise not as tyrants but as the truth behind the legend. Some call them monsters. Others call them divine. The Spiral remembers. Now, so will the world.
Beneath the Silver Stars
Harry Potter always thought his soulmate would be someone ordinary, someone he'd meet under unexpected circumstances. But when a strange mark appears on his wrist, shaped like a silver star, he soon finds himself caught in a world of unexpected magic and destiny. Lucius Malfoy, once a figure of cold authority and whispered rumors, has been secretly waiting for the day when his soulmate would finally come into his life. Their connection is undeniable, their bond glowing brighter with each passing moment, yet neither can fully grasp what it means to be together in a world still recovering from war. As their lives intertwine, old wounds heal, and new, tender moments bloom, they discover a love that's been destined for them all along, hidden beneath the shadows of their pasts and the light of the stars.Complete
Baby, I've been running
Horror strikes him down where he stands, then. He sways, stumbles to put his back to the living room wall. Harry is woozy in disbelief, watching the two words slashed into his chest in livid red just like the scar on his forehead. 'AVADA KEDAVRA.' He knows those words, the first he can remember, his earliest memory. It feels like he hasn't breathed in minutes. When he comes back to the moment, he finds that perhaps he hasn't. Harry gasps for air like a fish does for water, and doesn't find it. His back has slid down the wall somehow and his hands grip his head, hair clenched in fists. Then he realizes he's actually panting, a ringing in his ears, blocking out whatever it is people are saying to him. Hermione crouches in front of him where he can't possibly miss her, palms settling gently on his knees. "Harry," she's saying. "Harry, it's going to be alright." How? How can it ever possibly be alright again? - In a world where the first words you ever speak to your soulmate appear once both soulmates have turned seventeen, Harry receives a bit of bad news. OR In which Harry fashions himself into a war bride. !Disclaimer!

His Muggle father lies dead by his own hand, murdered for the crime of tainting his bloodline.

But achieving immortality soon proves to be more difficult than anticipated. Enter Irene Burke, heir to Borgin & Burkes. She carries in her family's vaults the very Dark knowledge he craves. As the war outside Hogwarts creeps ever nearer, their fates intertwine in a dangerous game of power and obsession: a young man who would make himself a god, and a young woman who must decide whether to stand beside him - or stand in his way. enemies to lovers | slowburn | dark themes | gore | toxic behavior | 1940s era | World War II references | 18+ | mature content
Dawn
Dawn Rosier/ Tom Riddle No soul beyond the Dark Lord's inner circle has ever laid eyes upon his sons. They exist as specters, whispers in the shadows, their names nothing more than echoes of something unseen. Yet, as all empires seek longevity, so does their ruler. The Dark Lord has decreed it-his bloodline will not fade into obscurity. It will endure. It will multiply. It will be bound by legacy, sealed in blood. Mattheo Riddle, the youngest, is a creature of indulgence, a man who plays with fate as if it were nothing more than a game of cards. A gambler. A wasted heir. There is no use binding him to a wife. But Tom... Tom is different. The firstborn. The one forged not in vice, but in duty. A blade honed by silence, sharpened by obedience. He does not falter. He does not waver. And now, he must wed. Not for love. Not for want. But because his father commands it. Because he must be the start to an unending stream of bloodshed and violence. It all should start with him. But the task would soon evolve into something neither he nor Dawn Rosier thought it could be. Yearning, Despair, Wrath and Crumbling. A story of sense and sensation, Past and Present as eternal enemies of every day. This is the story of Dawn Rosier. Tropes: Forced marriage Slow burn Age gap Gothic I own Dawn Rosier's character.Complete
