Tom Riddle never got adopted. Never got chosen. Never got loved.
Until the day a talking snake accidentally kidnapped him straight out of his orphanage and delivered him to Tenebris-Mistress of the Multiverse, Queen of All That Shouldn't Exist, and possibly the worst babysitter of all time.
Declared heir to cosmic chaos, mentored by the deities of Life, Death, Time, and Fate themselves, Tom begins to unravel truths no child ever should. And it all started because.. he sees something he wasn't meant to.
A baby with a scar. In a crib. In another world.
Now, bound by fate-and something deeper, darker, stranger-Tom's destiny is inextricably tied to a boy named Harry Potter, whose life has already been marked by prophecy and pain. So what does Tom do?
Why, he jumps headfirst into Harry's timeline, of course. Grows up beside him. Protects him. Twists fate around his little serpent finger-and maybe falls just a little too hard.
But Hogwarts isn't ready for two powerful, snarky, magic-warping boys. And Dumbledore, the ever-watchful manipulator of strings and secrets, is about to regret every plan he's ever laid.
Because this time?
Tom isn't alone. And Fate has a favorite.
Inter dimension Time traveler Tom. Because there are not many. A Multiverse Deity. The night of October 31. Obsessed Tom Riddle. And a whole lot of strange Plot.... Your writer is strange. So deal with it.
