Tomarry AU time travel but with a twist
— where Tom and Harry are best friends but Harry ends up falling for Tom — and Tom? He rejects him. Because Tom isn't ready. Because he thinks relationships are a waste of time — and believes what he and Harry has is better. And, Harry? Though hurt, accepts his answer. Though there is some residual awkwardness — they go back to being friends.
But— now, Tom is more aware of Harry. Now, that he knows Harry is okay with having a romantic relationship with him, he starts noticing things that he hasn't before. He starts thinking about Harry more than he did before (which basically means he thought about him every second now, back then it was one thought per ten seconds but anyways—) and having realizations about himself that he has been ignoring before due to always thinking about the future. After all he is a busy man with a grand plan — he was just too busy to have time for something mundane like introspection, am I right?
Unfortunately, though before Tom could do something about his emotions derailing his plans — Harry dies. For him. To save him
Tom being Tom, through his all consuming grief and regrets — breaks time conventions to save Harry and ends up travelling back on the day Harry came to Hogwarts. And as Tom tries to make amends for his mistakes by trying to befriend Harry, who is the new transfer student earlier than before, he realizes how strange Harry used to be.
How he would act skittish around Tom or glare at him with so much hatred that would make him stumble. Because Harry never did that, or did he? That didn't matter though, because Tom would win him over anyways — because he is the one whom Harry loves loved. So, he is one who would end up winning him anyways — not Black or Longbottom for that matter.
So this au is basically time travelling harry and time travelling tom but both of them from different points of time, trying to do their best — trying to save the world (for Tom, it's Harry and is that my way of implying Harry was his world? Yes.)

we all know that’s draco’s way too curious for his own good, right? so imagine that young and innocent 12 year old draco malfoy is exploring his father’s dark arts artefacts, snooping around curiously and not being afraid of those things. because he is a malfoy and those things aren’t meant to harm him, right? they are meant to harm muggles and muggleborns, he has got nothing to fear
then he finds it. an old diary. with nothing written on it. seems pretty harmless, really, so he takes it. and he writes on it, and the diary writes back.
draco also loves to talk about himself and to get some attention. and tom riddle talks back, offers advice, gives him the attention he wants.
and what’s draco 2nd favourite subject to talk about? (the first being himself) POTTER. and draco tells tom riddle all about saint potter.
it takes draco a while to realize that he is the one attacking the muggleborns at school. and, even though he has been delighted about all this attacks and has been telling everyone that he’d like to help the heir of slytherin, when he realizes that it’s HIM who is responsible for the attacks he isn’t exactly happy. draco’s all talk, we know that. and he’s scared, he’s scared of being possessed, of losing control, he tries to dispose of the journal but then potter finds it. and if potter finds out that he is the one who did it all, then potter will tell dumbledore, and dumbledore will tell his father and lucius will be SO mad. so he manages to get the diary back, and potter doesn’t say anything.
but then tom riddle takes him to the chamber. i don’t think tom riddle really cares that draco is a malfoy. he even says that his father will be pleased about his sacrifice, that he will help bring his father’s old lord back. and draco hates it.
harry’s kinda freaked out that draco has been taken to the chamber, but he decides to help lockhart out anyway telling him where the chamber is. and harry gets carried away, because he is harry and draco’s just a kid, right? and then all that mess at the chamber happens, ron’s not really pleased and genuinely scared about that might happen to harry but harry can’t turn back now.
and so he confronts tom riddle, tom riddle tells him all about draco and how pathetically jealous he is of harry, about how draco’s a coward and hated being the one opening the chamber. harry knows that he was right about coming after him, and then he fights the basilisk, kills the diary and draco wakes up.
harry, after almost dying, is so angry at him. “i hope you’re pleased with yourself” he says. and draco only shakes his head, tears running down his face. he’s not pleased with himself. he despises himself. he can’t say anything, and harry glares at him while he cries and cries and cries. “i didn’t mean to” he says, through tears “i’m sorry. i’ll tell them i’m sorry. i should have never...”
harry feels a bit bad for him. he’s just... a boy. like harry himself. so harry offers his hand and says
“i can help you there”

Step away from the laptop, we’re watching movies
So, treats, basically all I write. @terezees your trick was hard but I hope you enjoyed it. I thought I’d give platonic cuddling a try. I remember when I went to Otakon, my friend told me she’s cuddled with everyone in our room and I was the last one on the list, but she ended passing out before I did, so we’ll see how this goes.
How was it the second month of the semester already? It was like all the teachers had decided to just throw all the work they possibly could onto them and laugh while watching them struggle. Keith knew this would happen when he decided to be a double major but he was so sure he could handle it. Now, he wasn’t sure.
His eyes felt strained as he kept his eyes on his laptop. He was close to slamming his head on the table when something blocked his eyes. He grabbed at the hands covering his eyes.
“What the hell?”
The hands disappeared and he felt weight on his back and someone rest their head on top of his.
“Hello mullet.”
Lance, his next door neighbour and best friend since high school. They considered themselves rivals and some people thought they didn’t like each other but they just got used to each other. The balanced each other out and Keith was pretty glad that they were going to the same college. God knows he wouldn’t leave his room because he was so socially inept.
“Lance, what are you doing here? Don’t you have a dance to choreograph?”
“Hi Lance, haven’t seen you all week. I missed you. I’m so glad you came to check up on me.” Lance mocked, obviously not happy with his greeting.
“Hi. How did you get in here?”
“That roommate who moved out 2 weeks in gave me his key to give back to security and I might have forgotten. But hey, isn’t it good I didn’t? We would of found you dead if I didn’t check up on you. How swamped with assignments are you?”
“You don’t want to know. My eyes are burning.”
Lance got off of Keith and leaned against the desk he was sitting at. “Have you taken your contacts out at all?” he asked, pointing to his own squared shaped glasses that sat on his face.
“Oh, uh…”
“Oh god,” Lance groaned before grabbing the back of Keith’s chair and pulling him from his desk and laptop. “Ok, enough. Go take your contacts out, take a shower and get into comfy clothes and bring both you and Red down into the Tetris lounge. I am banning you from anymore work.”
“But my homework...”
“Will still be there. Do not make me call Shiro or Allura. They’ll be worst, trust me.” Lance said staring Keith down. Keith didn’t want to deal with either people so he sighed and stood up from his chair. “Good mullet. Hurry up and meet me downstairs.”
Ok, so while he was a bit annoyed at being pulled from his work, even though he been ready to call quits, the shower was amazing, even with the warm water. Plus he had the whole bathroom to himself which felt nice. Once he was out, he changed into his pyjamas when he saw a red blob of fabric spilling from one of his dresser drawers. It was his red lion kigurumi that Lance’s mom made him. Lance did say get comfortable. He pulled it on, sliding his glasses on his face and after he pinned his bangs back, he grabbed his large purple hippo plush. Yes it was purple and he called it Red, it was the first name that came to mind when he won it during his freshmen year at their Winter Blast event. She made a great pillow and was the perfect thing to cuddle.
He made his way into the Tetris lounge, which was the lounge on the first floor of their dorm that held the TV and all the furniture was extremely easy to move so every day, they seemed to be in different positions. Lance had taken over it seemed, pushing both sofas so it created a long bed. It looked cosy with all Lance’s comforters and pillows and his blue lion teddy bear. Lance was focused on connecting his laptop to the TV, so Keith just climbed into the nest, putting Red behind him so he could lean on her.
“Hey, you’re wearing your kigurumi. I should have worn mine.” Lance said, when he noticed Keith was there.
“You said get comfy. What are we doing?”
“We’re watching movies.” Lance brandished his bookbag and dumped it out, shoving all the DVD cases to the shorter guy. “I brought most of them, take your pick.”
Keith fingered through the pile of them pulling out his favourites. He stopped at the sight of a pink covered case. “A Barbie movie really?”
“Oh, so you don’t want to watch Barbie Diaries or 12 Dancing Princesses. I can send those back to my sister if you want.”
“I didn’t say that.” Keith wouldn’t admit it, but after watching Barbie Diaries and 12 Dancing Princesses with Lance’s younger sisters, he got kinda hooked. They were good. “But we’re watching a horror movie too.”
“Oh come on, Keith. This is supposed to be relaxing.”
“I find horror movies relaxing, get over it.”
He listened to Lance grumble as he grabbed one of the DVDs in Keith’s watch pile and put it in his laptop’s disk drive. He was quick to skip right to the main menu and the music from the third Harry Potter movie started, cutting short as he hit ‘Play Movie’. He climbed into the nest and plopped himself down next to Keith.
“Pass me that bag.” Lance asked, pointing to a plastic bag that sat on the table near Keith. “I brought snacks and Hunk made cookies. I was able to save some from Pidge.”
The two’s attention was eventually captured by the movie as the mindlessly ate the snacks Lance had brought. Keith had made himself comfortable by throwing his legs over one end of the couch, his head cushioned on Lance’s stomach while Red rested on his own stomach.
“Draco was hot.” Lance said, watching as the blond boy was punched by Hermione.
“I mean, Tom Felton is still hot.” Keith said, biting into a cookie, making crumbs. He knew Lance would get annoyed at him about that later but he didn’t care.
“I know, but still. When I watched these movies, I kept thinking ‘If Harry won’t do him, I will’.”
“Too bad you still ship him with Harry.” Keith pointed out.
“They had potential. You can’t deny that.” Lance stated. Keith just hummed, reaching for another cookie.
The movie eventually ended and like Keith thought, Lance glared at him for the pile of crumbs he left on his lap. While Lance dusted his pants off and shook the blanket they had been lying on off, Keith put in the next movie, which was the horror movie.
“This is gonna suck.” Lance moaned as Keith climbed back to his seat.
Keith put Red behind him so he could lean on her again held out his arms. “Here you big baby.” Lance was quick to cuddle close to his side, hugging his blue lion close. “Try not to scream to loud, I don’t want the RA thinking someone’s dying.”
“No promises. I’m just doing this to help you feel better.”
“Oh yeah, thanks by the way. I know I complained earlier but I really needed this.” Keith thanked
“Of course you did. How about next time you know you’re getting swamped, you text me? I might only be a dance major but your my best friend and any rehearsal can wait.”
“Yeah, I will.”
