    Summary

    Tom Riddle, Undersecretary to the Minister, had spent most of his life believing he did not have a soulmate, and was perfectly pleased with this fact. So it was, to put it mildly, an inconvenience when, at the age of 54, words appeared for the very first time on his skin.
    Mama, uppy. they said.
    Soulmarks only activated once both parties were born and capable of thought. This could only mean that whoever sat on the other end of this newly woken bond was an infant. Unacceptable. He would find his soulmate, and eliminate them, before they had the chance to ruin everything.

    Meanwhile, Harry Potter grows up in peace, surrounded by alive, doting parents and friends.
    Only, he has a soulmate who—going by nearly two decades of arm messages consisting of very evil thoughts, the occasional cockney, and sometimes unintelligible scribbles—may or may not be a Dark Lord.

    Soulmate AU in which everyone has soulmarks in the form of words that appear on their arm each day, depicting a stray thought their soulmate has had that day.

    Summary

    ”I expect you to treat this bloody borrow-and-beg like your own child, Potter,” he hissed as they made their way back to the castle. Harry—who was cradling the egg, a tiny light-brown thing with a spattering of dark speckles, carefully in his mittened hands—almost dropped it at the slip of Cockney that he hadn’t heard from Riddle since first year. “If it gets turned into an omelet by a Bludger while you’re playing your imbecilic sport, they will never find your body.”

    ”I’d worry less about me breaking it and more about you keeping it warm,” Harry retorted, holding the egg protectively away from Riddle’s glare—vibes that rancid couldn’t be good for a developing creature. “You couldn’t melt butter in those icy hands of yours, let alone support life.”

    … When Harry came to retrieve the egg that evening, there was a toad tied to the top of it.

    “RIDDLE!”

    Harry and Tom get paired up for the ol’ “take care of an egg together” project for Care of Magical Creatures. Tom tries to put his own Slytherin spin on the assignment, and soon they’re both more invested than they’d anticipated.

    Written for the Purge XL prompt “Daddy”.

    Summary

    A few years out of Hogwarts, Tom is a rising star in the Ministry, and he’s determined to become the youngest ever Minister of Magic.

    Yet the higher and faster he rises within the Ministry, the more the whispers have started to abound about his Dark Arts affiliations, his unwavering alliance with the old Pureblood families, and his vehemently anti-Muggle sentiments.

    Tom realizes he needs to soften his image in order to increase his public appeal.

    And so, he thinks he’s found a solution in Harry Potter.

    Or, at least, in convincing Harry to pretend to date him for long enough that he’s seen as someone who can work across the aisle.

    Summary

    As it happened, Harry Potter hadn't the faintest idea that his late-night lounging upside down on the windowsill of Gryffindor Tower had been spotted by members of the Ministry.

    Worse still, Minister Riddle himself had seen him.

    Because, really—

    who in their right mind went for a stroll across the Hogwarts grounds at that hour?.
