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

Minister (Dark Lord) Tom x Personal healer Harry

Harry Potter artworks I’m enormous proud of⚡️🐍

btw can we talk about harry not being concerned that Tom's about to kill someone, he's only concerned that people are watching????? Character grooowwtthhh

The closer they get to each other the better they understand the others motives and change their views, most notably in Tom's behaviour because his personality is pretty wild to begin with but seeing Harry change and adapt and being able to make decisions other people in his life would not let happen is pretty neat <3

They know each other extremely well at this point. And Harry has admitted before that he doesn't necessarily want Vee to change-- but rather be better. Live up to his actual potential, as it were.

It will come with a bit of angst, of course, because Harry has to come to grips with the fact that he essentially gave Voldemort the green light to kill someone-- even if it was to kill someone dangerous that would continually try to kill them, etc-- and that he might do so again in the future.

Harry is good, at his core, and taking life feels contradictory to him, especially considering the mild success he's had in sort of... reforming or rehabilitating Voldemort on this journey (not fully, but enough that Voldemort has clearly changed the way he is behaving on behalf of and in regards to Harry)-- plus, just the idea of what his parents might think if they were alive to witness all of this unfolding when they died fighting the man he's growing to love in order to protect Harry. There's a lot of tangled up feelings there, but Vee has a way with words and with twisting them around to make Harry realize things he would otherwise beat himself up for.

This scene comes to mind for what's to come, for instance:

“Lovely thing,” Voldemort mutters, breath hot on Harry’s skin. “You’ve just secured another night free of the bogeyman. The monster that witches and wizards tell their children about.” Harry lets out a wet sound. Maybe a sob. Maybe a laugh. He clutches at Voldemort’s shoulders tighter. “There’s no need of guilt, Harry Potter,” Voldemort says, pulling him closer, kissing at the sensitive spot just before Harry’s ear. “Not when you are the only thing that stays my hand.”

bad hair day

Cursed idea: The Little Mermaid AU with Lily Luna as Ariel and Voldemort using her to get not only the King's trident, but Harry as well.

Harry: So Tom, I was thinking, I can call you Tom right? Anyways, we could just like stop this whole war thing and just get a bite to eat yeah?

Voldemort: That original killing curse did a lot more damage that I initially thought

Harry: Don’t be like that. I’ll pay!

Voldemort: You are clearly missing some very vital brain functions

Harry: Great, it’s a date then. I’ll pick you up tomorrow at 6~

Voldemort:

Voldemort: could we do 7 instead? I have a meeting
