The only survivor of a gruesome attack, Harry winds up in an orphanage where he meets a fellow wizard named Tom. They become best friends, investigating their magic together in a hostile world. Magic is the light of Harry's life, literally. They grow up together, facing adversities and hiding from the one who set everything into motion in the first place. Grindelwald's era.

Azkaban is a haunting memory. After years of seeing the world through a window, Sirius Black finds his freedom.

Tom Riddle has fallen down the rabbit hole but when he looks up, he doesn't see a hint of sky. Horcrux!Tom. No pairing.

For a star to truly shine, there has to be the night sky around it. A contrast; a foil. That is what Harry has always been.

Two different futures, yet essentially the same. The lust for battle is an itch that Harry can't help but scratch.

There are no limits to bringing back the one you love.

The world was large, the Dark sang so seductively, and Tom was lost. However, Tom could never quite stop thinking about Harry. Oneshot.
