Summary
Vanishing after obtaining precious treasures he stole from a cooling corpse, Tom Riddle begins his study of the Dark Arts by taking a tour into restricted, forsaken, and abandoned territories. Just dipping his toes into a journey he originally thought to be the safest place to start, Tom makes a minor deviation in a fork-in-the-path that leads him into the arms of something far more primordial than time itself. Something from between the seams, beside our existence, and beyond the dark.

Summary
His shirt was soaked through with blood as his hand moved uselessly, trying to cover the wound. A low groan slipped past his lips. The heat of the surrounding flames lashed against his skin, weakening him with every passing second.
He clenched his teeth. With the weight of those red eyes fixed on him, he forced himself to rise.
He hadn’t fallen yet. He would make sure those eyes gleamed with satisfaction.
On July 31, 1980, the Potter family welcomed twins into the world: Elian Cassian Potter and Rowen Fleamont Potter. However, the rigid traditions of the wizarding world and the Dark Lord’s desire to train the heirs of the Sacred Twenty-Eight pushed Elian into the background from the very beginning. Rowen, born just two minutes earlier, had already secured his place as the family’s heir. The lack of attention and the harsh treatment he endured fed the ambition within Elian—an ambition that would, in time, grow into a deep and consuming obsession.

Summary
The Killing Curse struck twice.
Green light split the graveyard and The-Boy-Who-Lived fell with the spare. For a breathless, suspended second, there was silence. Then, something ancient turned its head.
Death had not been consulted.
When Cedric Diggory’s body inhaled again, it was not with the soul that had left it.
Across the grass, Lord Voldemort smiled because he did not yet understand that he had made a different kind of mistake.
