New Fic Posted: Lilyflour and Other Endearments

My most recent fic, Lilyflour and Other Endearments is live!

This work is a similar-age Tomarry AU in which Tom Riddle secured an Enchanter's Apprenticeship upon leaving Hogwarts instead of going to work for Borgin and Burke's.

Summary:

Under the mentorship of Pandora Lovegood, Tom has learned how to splice different charms together to create a cohesive network of spellwork, how to be patient even when the first six attempts of a new runic construction end in failure (that took months and twenty snapped quills to really sink in, but who's counting?) and even how to march to someone else's (rather odd) drumbeat instead of his own steady stride.

But what Tom hasn't learned how to do is ignore the little things, which makes tuning out the new next door neighbors who recently opened a bakery impossible.

I had such a fun time writing this fic and getting to delve a bit into my version of a magical bakery as well as how Tom would handle a Lovegood as his mentor. I hope you all like it.

Lastly, this fic was written for the Harry Potter/Tom Riddle | Voldemort Solstice Fanwork Exchange 2021, which has some fantastic fics in the collection. Check them out!
