There Isn’t Enough Tom Raises Harry Au Out There

WIP Wednesday

Thank you @cindle-writes for the tag! 💕

Tagging (no pressure!): @st-lady @hazelnut1 @solavonn @leafiloaf @cringe-queasy @racfoam @mishqua @youknowmevj

So this is the last one of Mermay, still in its ugly phase (Also the way merpeople look is valid, I just don't like their design jsdjlakd)

There's this scene in the movie where, after Harry saves Ron and Gabrielle and is attacked by squid creatures, the gillyweed stops working. He begins to sink and he seems to be losing consciousness. Until he suddenly recovers and casts a spell to get out of the water.

In this mermaid AU, Tom saw Harry struggling and he was the one who made him recover (maybe with a kiss?)

Idk the specifics. Maybe Merman!Tom was the result of a horcrux in the Black Lake gone wrong? Maybe he wants to learn magic so badly that he wants to become a human, and he's an outcast among the merpeople because of that. Maybe he saw Harry threatening the merpeople with his wand, using his magic against the other lake creatures and Tom hated him because he wanted to do that and life was so unfair.

And yet, he saved him because he was also captivated.

Sometimes I see fanfiction that is so good, I'm just like, HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU WRITE SOMETHING THAT IS LITERALLY RIPPING MY SOUL APART FROM THE SHEER BEAUTY OF WHAT YOU HAVE CREATED?

And then I proceed to weep with joy and anguish, simultaneously.

Another prompt

"The way to a man's heart is through his stomach."

Tom Riddle was used to being hungry considering the situation he grew up in. When he gets to Hogwarts, he sneaks food in his bag and has to ration what he stole from hogwarts when he gets back to the orphanage.

In the future, Voldemort is waiting on someone to show up for a secret meeting. He is in disguise and has been waiting a long time. Harry taking pity on him, offers to cook for him while he waits thinking its for a date or something at the bakery/coffee shop/restaurant he works at.

Voldemort has never had anything so delicious in his life.

like it's MY fault my love language is acts of service and all i know how to do is kill

Year 2 wouldve been so cute if someone came up to Harry, maybe extremely nervous, but it's because a lil garter snake by the woods was hurt and they wanted Harry to ask why it refused to eat the rats they were giving it until the snake could hunt again

❤️

Every time someone makes a joke about Harry being boring I know they're talking about movie Harry because book Harry was UNHINGED

harry: *absentmindedly petting nagini as he writes potions notes*

tom, silently hyperventilating: i want him in a way that actively threatens the survival of humanity

i like the idea that the horcrux in harry's scar was a jealous son of a bitch and got way too happy when his other counterparts (horcruxes) got destroyed. you can't change my mind. imagine harry feeling gleeful after destroying a horcrux.

Harry: I feel warm and fuzzy. Is that normal?

Ron and Hermione: No.

Scarcrux: [cheering like a madman in Harry's mind & soul]
