Summary
20 years old, unemployed, and at the worst point of his life (and that’s saying a lot), Harry gains unrestricted access to a massive unfinished time turner and decides to use it to travel to 1946, when Voldemort only had two horcruxes and had yet to learn the worst of the dark arts.
But what he finds isn’t the proud, charismatic Dark-Lord-To-Be, but a neurotic 19-year-old Tom Riddle living quietly in the tiny flat that his retail job barely pays for, isolated and addled by chronic illness.

Death to the Saviour, long live the Dark Lord by Quine

Summary
The Dementor's icy fingers were closing in on his throat. A voice spoke inside his head.
"Bow to Death, Harry... It might even be painless ... I would not know ... I have never died."
He would never see Ron and Hermione again... Their faces swam behind his eyes.
"Expecto... Patronum..."
A silvery stag burst forth the same moment cold lips came down upon his.
As Harry Potter's body slumped down the wall of the alleyway, the saviour of the wizarding world was no more.When Harry is too late to produce a Patronus in time to keep a Dementor from getting a taste of his soul, the Horcrux within him takes over his body.
In trying to seal himself more permanently into his new vessel, Lord Voldemort miscalculates and accidentally merges with what is left of Harry Potter.Not quite a Saviour, not quite a Dark Lord, the person claiming the name Harry Potter has to deal with pesky teenagers, hormones and headaches related to a soulbond to the unaware Lord Voldemort, who still wants him dead. Now if he could only convince his not-quite counterpart that their goals aren't that different without him being locked up once he reveals that he's a Horcrux, that would be great.

Summary
Summer after the traumatic end of the Triwizard Tournament, instead of Harry Potter getting visions of the latest evil plot from the Dark Lord, it is Voldemort who gets visions of The-Boy-Who-Lived’s childhood.
And they’re not pleasant.
When Newt accepted to become one of Harry Potter's secret guard as a favor to Albus Dumbledore, he hadn't anticipated being faced with a choice concerning the welfare and safety of a child: obey Albus Dumbledore's orders or stay at Voldemort's side to protect Harry.
Though difficult, the right choice was clear.

Summary
Harry gets hit by a killing curse and instead of dying travels to a different reality where he is the bratty husband of the Minister of Magic Tom Riddle. Harry realizes that his husband actually hates him and can barely tolerate his scandalous and petty behaviour and married him only for political connections with the Potter family. That's all good since he doesn't like Riddle either. Tom, on the other hand, is confused by his pureblood husband's new and strange behaviour.

Summary
“You can’t accept that there is a spell you’re incapable of casting.” Potter drew closer as he spoke—so close that his robes brushed against Tom’s ankle. “Feeling inadequate. Weak. You hate it.”
Tom found himself caught in Potter’s thrall. He reacted to the taunts like a pathetic Muggle, grabbing Potter’s shirt collar and yanking. The wind howled in his ears.
“You don’t know anything about me,” he spat.
Potter, infuriatingly, smiled. “Oh, Tom,” he said, as if he was speaking to a troublesome yet inconsequential child. “I do.”

(Or, Tom Riddle cannot cast a Patronus. Luckily, Harry Potter is up to the task—even if it means teaching a monster how to love.)

...and enemies, too.
Harry has complex... thoughts (definitely not feelings) about Tom Riddle's childhood, so he sits right down and writes himself a letter.

He had been so very, very wrong.

Be on guard, my Lord, writes Abraxas Malfoy, the new transfer student intends to kill you.
Except Abraxas has terrible penmanship, and kill and kiss look awfully similar in shoddy cursive.
Naturally, things escalate. A lot.

Summary
Severus Snape is many things: an alpha, a potions master, a spy, a sheer and utter bastard of a man, and a reluctant teacher of the witches and wizards of tomorrow being chief among them. One thing he absolutely refuses to be however, no matter how well it would contribute to his carefully cultivated image of the Vile Bat of the Dungeons, Bane of Students Everywhere, is to be deliberately nasty to his omega students.
Or: Severus Snape might be a spy and a bastard, but he's a spy and a bastard with some principles, so he can't exactly go around being nasty to the tiny omega named Harriet Potter that he swore an oath to protect. This has consequences that he can safely admit that he didn't see coming.

Summary
Ginny had not expected to become the bad guy at age fifteen. She hadn’t realized that everything she had: Harry, her family, her friends that it could all disappear one day.
What happens after everything collapses?
…
Harry discovers he is not biologically male, his powers are going wonky on him, and he had just finished fighting a bleeding war.
All of this was bad enough on it’s own. The love potion thing though, that was a line Ginny should have never crossed, and now… Harry had no choice but to get the hell out of dodge and figure out who he was in peace.
…
Severus never asked for any of this.
Why couldn’t Potter ever give him a break, why couldn’t the boy settle down into his role in wizarding society so that Severus could be allowed to enjoy his retirement without having to fear the worst when his best friend’s son suddenly goes missing after being poisoned and leaving not a trace of where he had gone?What could have possibly prompted the boy to leave his perfect life?

Summary
Appetence: defined as an attraction, a natural affinity, or an instinctive desire. In other words, it's a cosmic sort of bond that clouds the mind until all thought is consumed by that singular point of infatuation.
When Voldemort divines what Harri Potter truly means to him in the graveyard, a festering obsession begins. His horcrux. A part of his wayward soul, crafted from his marrow, magic, and might— his very own damning appetence.
He knows what has been kept from him, what rightfully belongs at his side, and now?
Well.
Now, he wants her back.
