Hunnypooh chapter 3 . 8/3
I know you said this was the end of the series, but I kind of want more! Even an epilogue would be great just to see where life takes these two.
PrinceNatsu chapter 3 . 4/11
This story is so magnificent! I love it sooo much ️ i wish you can do a sequel wherein Tom gets invited by the Potters and Harry formally introduces him as his lover to his Family.

Sweet
Right What Is Wrong chapter 3 . 11/7/2019
For the best that Harry stayed. I honestly wondered if you were going to go the route of 'the reason Tom went absolutely mad and became Voldemort is that he experienced love briefly, then had it ripped away' for a while there.

Interestingly open-ended... I have to wonder whether Albus will turn out to have a point in the long run. Tom is Tom, no matter what. It's the admirable and detestable part of his character. Harry is changing to fit Tom much more than Tom is changing to fit him. Sure, it seems like he'll steer Tom clearly now... but will that still be true after decades? Hm...

Good series.

HoneyBear84 chapter 3 . 7/28/2019
Loved it, will there be another sequel?
Voulve chapter 3 . 7/25/2019
That ending was damn satisfying! Though I wonder if Dumbledore without his memories will now still work against Tom, Harry & co.
I give truly respect that you managed to write a Tomarry-Fic without bashing Dumbledores character, I mean he didn't even want to erase Tom's memories, only his history with his own dark love interest made him believe it was his duty (though in my opinion it's not exactly the same situation because Harry doesn't agree with Tom and his or rather 'Voldemorts' actions and kinda works as a puffer - other than what Dumbledore did...).
Sigh, I really would want to know if they adopted the sigil of the two intertwined snakes - though for me they have ;3

Oh man that was wonderful. I'm a greedy reader and of course I want more, but I'll accept this as the end. . .

Martisz chapter 3 . 7/17/2019
"But can't you see that he's corrupting you, my lord? You had great and ambitious plans before you met him, and now you're just focused on seducing Potter!" It's a hard task that requires a lot of attention.
I like the origins of some of Unspekable's rooms.
I like how Harry distracted Tom from dangerous line of inquiry.
I'm not surprised that Harry is partially acting out of competetiveness.
I love Tom's plan to find out what Harry is hiding.
Harry Potter - only sure of his path when he's sacrificing himself to save the world. I mean it doesn't look as if this was his world - he knows of things that happened during Tom's school years that didn't happen here - and yet he still goes for the sacrifice.
Tom knows who will win this fight and he's going to enjoy it.
And it was a joy to read. Still my favourite part was something unaccessible to Tom: Harry's comments.
Bulstrode's death is just another case of things not going as they're supposed to. Still, it's not the first one and for me it does mean he's in an alternative world.
Yep, Harry isusing what Tom taught him to get away from him so he wouldn't be tempted to stay.
Albus saw the similarities between himself and Gellert, and Harry and Tom so he doesn't see the differences. It explains why he wants Harry to go back to his own time - with him gone Tom will be quicker to go Dark, something Albus is certain will happen sooner or later, so he would be still there to stop him.
"I really didn't think I would hear from him again. Well, but maybe that parchment is the denunciation he needs to make." He's so wrong and I have no idea whyhe thought this. Or well, I know but don't like it.
Harry's plan is just... heart-breaking doesn't even begin to cover it. He couldn't have been more cruel if he tried.
Malfoy sees Harry's presence in Tom's life like neither Albus nor Harry can. And that's exactly what Harry can't let himself thinl about if he wants to leave. He might stay and think about another solution, one that - it's unthinkable - would mean his happiness too.
Seriously, I have no idea what Harry based his conviction of 'if I stay Tom will kill more people than if I leave' on. Dumbledore's (different) experience with Grindelwald? Tom killing Bulstrode? He's clutching at straws because if he started to think about it he wouldn't be able to go with the ritual.
Since Albus is the only one rooting for him going back to his own time, Harry is met with a lot of good reasons why he should stay and I love it. The thing is, if he was searching for a way to go back because he missed his world too much these people would hve been supportive of his decision. But well, that's not why Harry does things in general which is really tragic.
Harry is so intent on not seeing that people in this world genuinely like him that he doesn't believe them when they say as much. It's easier to abandon them if he can convince himself that nobody would truly care.
"Albus was the only one who knew the full context, who understood how important this was." He also fully believes it's the best solution to stop the Grindel- I mean Tom.
How idiotic Harry can be? In what world 'I'm going back to my time so I won't change the future even more' is compatibile with 'I'm gonna tell all the important bits about Voldemort's futire to Tom'. Unless Albus is going to Obliviate Tom the moment Harry disappears this is the most idiotic, unnecessary self-sacrificing thing I have ever seen.
""I never made a Horcrux," Tom said instantly. "I don't intend to start. I believe this is another world, Harry. You have no need to leave."
The song behind Harry now sounded like bells and flutes intermixed. He smiled, a little sadly. He should have known Tom would leap immediately to that possible theory, one that might be true but which Harry couldn't be sure of, and which of course was the most advantageous one for Tom." And telling Tom of what happensin his future definetely won't change anything. Not at all.
It's so Harry. He choose Tom because he couldn't bear sacrifacing his happiness.
I knew Albus was planning to Obliviate Tom. I think he would have done it even if Harry disappeared.
I love Harry's decision and I hope the people he would allow to get close will teach him that sacrifice shouldn't be his first choice.
