Teach Me To Sin.
He looks like heaven, but loving him was hell. Professor Tom Riddle wasn’t any ordinary man. Y/N didn’t hold ordinary love. It was wrong. She knew that. She shouldn’t like her professor—no, that was unimaginable. He had a wife. So why did her gaze continue to linger? Why did her fingers ache to touch him—such forbidden fruit. She wasn’t going to stop until she had him. Until he loved her.

In Dead Matrimony.
Tom Riddle only considered this marriage as one of political power. Only as a heavy sign on paper. What he didn’t expect was his wife to be as cunning as he was—perhaps even more so. When he had expected her to sit silence and endure like a ‘good little wife’, she provoked and contradicted his every word and command. The marriage was complete. The sign done. He couldn’t go back now, it would prove negatively to his reputation. And, oh reputation did he worship.

The Emperor’s Demise.
The emperor of the most desired kingdom, the warrior who reduced any marriage proposal to null. Everyone expected the cold-hearted leader to drive his bloodline to the ground. So did he, at some point. Until he found her. To him it felt like the land and the skies had collided to provide him such a perfect maiden. He wasn’t going to lose her. Not now. Not ever.

Unwritten Whispers of Marriage.
Y/N thought lying about being married to the Imperial Duke would be easy considering he hadn’t been seen in public for years. Many thought he was dead or hideous. Neither was the case. So mid-way through bragging, when the Imperial Duke appears at a ball, Y/N thought she was done for. Her reputation tarnished and her ego burst. What she didn’t expect was for him to play along.

Unprecedented Plans.
Tom Riddle wasn’t a force anyone attempted to control, not until a muggleborn storms into his life and demands to be the centre of it. When Tom thought he had everything planned for the future. He hasn’t planned the entrance of a sly woman who shook his world.

Height Wars. | ᴍᴀʀᴀᴜᴅᴇʀꜱ
Another messy year begun with the Marauders. Sirius was finally taller. He couldn’t wait to brag to his friends and finally make the short jokes. Nevermind. His hopes and dreams were meticulously crushed when he realised somehow his friends had miraculously grown over the summer and in fact could continue their short jokes. Welcome to the shitshow, Y/N.

Nails To Claws.
Once Tom Riddle had determined that Y/N was an unregistered animagus, he wanted everything to do with her. She would provide incredibly useful within the ranks of the Knights of Walpurgis. He’d simply have to ignore the fact she was a half-blood. It was all for the greater good after all. What the real question was: if Y/N would fall for his deceptive tricks or end up walking him like the dog?

Nurse Me Back To Health.
After Tom Riddle makes his first horcrux, chipping away his humanity, he doesn’t expect to find a nurse who’d bring him back to life. Being tied to the Hospital Wing wouldn’t stop Tom from already planning his second advance—yet the pretty student apprentice seemed to stall his mind momentarily. It wasn’t like Tom. Girls had no impact on him. Not until now. Not until an amateur nurse patched up his true loneliness.

Written Love Wars.
Scribing to your hidden love seems exhilarating until you find out it’s your political rival. Being the Crown Princess was rigid and full of propriety. So when random admiration letters and gifts show up for Y/N, it’s the most free she ever felt. Back and forth letters, wishing to know who she was writing to — until it all crashes. She now wishes she never knew. Because it was him.

An Apple A Day…
Having a calm doctor as a husband was not for the weak. Especially if said husband didn’t understand your desire to have an argument here and there. Yes, I know. ‘Weird’ but necessary. So now Y/N was giving him the silent treatment for a reason she couldn’t quite remember while loudly chomping on apples in front of him. Because you know what they say: ‘An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away.’ And oh, Y/N was taking it ever so seriously.

A Thesis On Tension.
Tom Riddle and Y/N were two opposite sides of the same coin. Academics always came first. Tom would not tolerate a single subject where Y/N came out on top. Unfortunately for Tom, neither would she. Through endless torture of constant (polite) bickering in every single class they had together, no one could remember when such mutual animosity became something more… calmer. It didn’t make sense at all. They were academic rivals, there was nothing under such a thick blanket of hatred… was there?

Accented Mix-Ups.
When your boyfriend has a strong accent and mixes his English words up, it’s hard to not laugh. It’s adorable even. Yet he would never admit to having any kind of embarrassing moments. Teasing is apart of being his partner, right? He’s not allowed to be offended.

Lab Rat.
Sirius Black failed. He failed to escape Azkaban. Now his fate was undetermined. The Ministry now knew he was an unregistered Animagus. His days now consisted of testing and labs rather than cyclical solitude. His hope felt shattered when he felt no relief from the pain the Ministey inflicted upon him. That was until a new research intern arrived to learn more on the animagi. Y/N didn’t expect the horrors of what she saw in such ‘clinic’, such torture, such servitude. She was determined to get Sirius out. And she wouldn’t stop until she was successful.

A Bet Of Power.
When Tom Riddle places a bet to be able to court Y/N, he began it all as a power play. A construct of his reputation amongst Hogwarts’ pureblood socialites. It was all meant to be simple. Easy. Make the most wanted girl in school fall in love in 30 days. He was Tom Riddle, of course he could do it. What he didn’t anticipate was the breaking up part. Nor the unusual reason why he couldn’t seem to let her go.

Reverse Manipulation.
When Tom Riddle manipulates the heir of the most Ancient House of Wizarding Europe, he’s satisfied knowing it was going to plan. That is until it felt…too right. Y/N seemed to understand his plan vividly to gain power, yet she easily allowed it. Accepting his ‘manipulation’—was it manipulation at all? Or were they both playing the same game?
