What if Harry Potter raised Tom Riddle

[liliaeth]

I just read this fic, came at it through fanficrants, not that it matters. Fun thing was that I started it thinking the premise was kinda ridiculous. The idea of what would have happened if Harry had gone back in time and raised little Tom, in sort, giving him love, teaching him right from wrong...

And though the fic went a bit in the whole turning Harry into a bit of a Gary Stu, it was still pretty good and believable to read. Interesting idea though, did Tom become Voldemort because he's evil, or because no one cared about him when there was still time for him to be a better person.

Funnily enough, at the end of the fic, Tom became more powerful and influential in the new reality, than he was in the real HP verse. And he did it all while being a good guy...

MIght be a good read. What is the title of the fic?

[liliaeth]

It's called Altered Destinies

There's a sequel in progress as well, but I don't like that one as much as the original.
