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
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.

Summary
Harry expected to spend his 5th year alone, buried in research and bodies yet again, getting closer and closer to bringing his parents back from the dead. But during one of his night-time excursions to the restricted section, he finds a strange diary belonging to Tom Marvolo Riddle hidden among the necromancy books. What starts as an academic back-and-forth takes a much more insidious turn when Tom puts his plans into action.
Meanwhile, the threat of Voldemort hangs over Hogwarts like an axe waiting to fall.

Summary
Jack was a normal, albeit self-important, young businessman. Up until he wasn't.
Problem A: He woke up in the body of the unfathomably handsome teenage boy residing in T.M. Riddle's diary.
Problem B: This apparently meant that he was somehow transported into the world of Harry Potter, a property of which he hardly knew anything about.
Light at the End of the Tunnel A: He managed to attain a physical body.
Problem C: Everyone and their mother was of the belief that he was Voldemort's son, and therefore destined to kill them all. Harry Potter himself seemed unshakably sure of the notion that Jack was out to kill him.
Problem—well, maybe he ought to leave some of the alphabet for everybody else.
