Summary
AU. After Grindelwald made his way to magical Britain itself during the war and panicked the populace, the purebloods in control of the Ministry managed to both authorize the casting of a spell that makes magical British areas hostile to witches and wizards not born there, and to pass a law that ensured only those possessing the Gift of a pureblood family can inherit money or houses. Decades later, Harry, who wasn’t born with the Potter Gift, is preparing to leave for the Muggle world when Minister Tom Riddle finds him and persuades him to try a risky ritual that will make him a Parselmouth if it succeeds—and change their prejudiced world.

Summary
Holly Potter, years after wining the war, realises that while Voldemort might have been stark raving mad – the young Tom Riddle was a shrewd politician and wanted to bring many needed changes to Wizarding world, changes she can get behind wholeheartedly. After being hit by a killing curse for the third time in her life she wakes up in a dimension where Voldemort doesn't exist and Tom Riddle is going by the name Marvolo Slytherin. He is the kind of politician Holly had dreamed he would have been if not for horcurxes.
As Holly and Marvolo get closer to each other in this dimension she slowly starts realising that both in her own world and in this new one the connection between her and Tom Riddle is much much deeper than a prophecy or a horcrux and that she had been manipulated in both worlds to view him as the enemy.

Summary
What if Triwizard Tournament, but Hunger Games?
Centuries ago, instead of hiding from muggles with the Statute of Secrecy, wizards used a ritual to create a dimension for all magical beings to live openly. But maintaining that freedom comes at a lethal price. Every seven years, the worthiest students in Europe have the great honour of being selected to compete in a tournament: three deadly tasks, two months of training, one victor. Grindelwald’s Ministry demands it. But certain troublesome students only follow rules which happen to align with their own plans.
Tom Riddle intends to win. Harry Potter refuses to lose. From rivalry comes respect, and an intense interest that, once sparked, refuses to burn out. They are binary stars locked in orbit in a world built to break them apart. But the world doesn’t define them, their choices do: what they decide to fight for, and who they choose to trust. If they get those right, they might be able to define the world.

Summary
There was another student here.
Tom recognized him vaguely—while transfer students were not necessarily uncommon due to the war, they were rare enough to at least make an impression. This particular transfer student was in his year, sorted into Ravenclaw after an impressively long hat stall. He looked like he might be descended from the Potter line, but he did not share the surname so his lineage was of no particular interest to Tom. Nothing about him was of particular interest to Tom, in fact, and yet here he stood, holding the book that Tom had come here to find.
It would be a good time to turn away. The Restricted Section was restricted for a reason—only books documenting extremely dangerous or extremely advanced magic were stored here.
Tom’s feet, however, suddenly felt as if they were made of lead. It wasn’t magic keeping him tied down, but something far more mysterious like curiosity or even fate. In any case, the delay was all it took for the Ravenclaw to lift his chin and meet Tom’s eyes.
This Ravenclaw, Tom realized, had eyes as blindingly green as the Killing Curse.
