Diary Tom and Harry sneaking into the forbidden forest so Tom can kiss Harry because he thinks it’s romantic to do it under the moonlight
Harry meets his imaginary best friend when he is six years old.
Tom has been around since Harry cracked his skull open and nearly died when Dudley pushed him off a swing set.
“You should kill them,” Tom says.
In his peripheral vision, Harry eyes the man leaning his hip against the Dursley’s kitchen counter. At first, it had been very strange to see the tall, mysterious stranger in black haunting the Dursley’s Very Normal household. Now, though, it was simply an occurrence Harry found himself used to.
“I’m not going to kill them,” Harry sighs, exasperated. “I burnt the bacon. I should know better by now. I’m ten!”
They’ve had this conversation before. When Harry showed Tom his cupboard under the stairs, Harry thought the man might murder the “muggles” himself. But, as promised, Tom couldn’t be seen by anyone – not even Dudley! And he was rather like a ghost; he could walk through walls, not be heard by anyone other than Harry even when ranting and raving, but sometimes he could knock something off the shelf if he really put his mind to it.
“Starving a child is not acceptable behaviour, Harry, even should that child burn the bacon,” Tom replies, examining his nails with arch superiority. “I repeat: you should kill them.”
Harry shoots Tom a sunny grin. “Your solution to everything can’t be to kill someone,” Harry advises wisely.
“Why not?” Tom shoots back, expression mulish.
“Because then where would I live?” Harry replies, eyebrows raised imperiously.
“Anywhere but here,” Tom answers prissily.
Harry knocks his grin up another notch and turns back to the new batch of bacon, ignoring the three frozen Dursleys sitting at the kitchen table, watching their nephew with wide eyes as he talks to thin air, flipping pancakes and turning crisp bacon without a care in the world.
Mermaid AU where they are each other's only friend, but Harry is very curious about life on the surface and Tom is deeply afraid that someday Harry is going to leave him.

listen i get ppl are deeply into the whole “voldemort is far more powerful than harry”-thing because yeah, he is, but i also think harry should be allowed to bully him extensively. ‘powerplay this’, ‘powerplay that’ no! harry has no urge to be more powerful than voldemort! harry just wants to bully him!
doesn’t matter if harry ends up on his arm or through some convoluted fanfic logic in his head during the events of the series after he passes. harry’s sole goal is Ridicule The Dark Lord. he reminds voldemort daily that he got beaten by 1) a baby, 2) an 11yo boy with fire hands (apparently), 3) a 12yo boy with a sword and one (1) fang, 4) a 14yo boy who could run really quickly, and 5) a 17yo, malnourished, exhausted boy with a borrowed wand. he tells voldemort repeatedly that vee’s 15yo self bragged to harry’s 12yo self (no sword or fang yet) that he decided on his name change via anagram, like it’s cool. he reminds voldemort often that “lord flight from death” is a bit on the nose for a new name. he always says that whatever voldemort does is “no friend behaviour”. he tells voldemort things like “you know all of your followers except bella and barty would sell you to the devil for one corn chip right” and voldemort, without fail, will think “NO. THAT’S THE THING I’M SENSITIVE ABOUT”. he’s yelling “HA CRINGEE” about everything voldemort does. it’s devastating.
Ron, standing before a plate of warm cookies: Are these venomous?
Tom, smiling: No, Weasley, that is impossible.
Ron picks one out and walks off: Cheers!
Ron takes a bite and starts foaming at the mouth:
Tom: They are poisonous, however.
Harry: Did you seriously make poisoned cookies?? He could die???
Tom: This was a valuable life lesson. Besides, we have magic. He’ll be fine.
Harry: What the hell is the lesson here??
Tom: To pick up a dictionary and stop asking foolish questions.
Tom: And I’d be careful, Harry.. you may be next.
