My second Tomarry Big Bang submission
I loved writing the story for this, it felt like a warm hug 😌
For my sanity’s sake we need to start normalizing drawing/writing more happy Tomarrymort lol
My submission for this year's @tomarrybigbang! A pool day for Harry and Voldemort and their younger selves.
Second chapter is uuuuup ✨
My submission for the @tomarrybigbang of 2024. Thank you to all the mods that helped organize this fest 💕
Explicit, 4.4k, Chapter 1
Summary:
Harry Potter is done.
He's been in the past for months now, working undercover as a poorly paid waiter in The Lounge: Britain's magical elite's favorite restaurant. He's more than ready to wrap things up, get the fuck out of 1953 and hug his godson again.
Enter, Tom Riddle: Dark Lord in The Making and Arsehole Extraordinaire. (And owner of The Most Fuckable Mouth Harry's seen since his days of shameless debauchery he was young.)
Impulse control has never been a strong suit of his, and this mission is proving to be the most difficult one yet.
My parter for this fest was the talented @00queasy00, who did this beautiful art!

OH MY GOD
"Are you enjoying this?!"
I'm starting to get really interested in exploring the depths and realms of a sub Voldemort...
I'm sorry, but Voldemort is an incredibly complicated and dark person whose character centers around the fact that he never loved anyone or respected people who highly valued love. Any ship with Voldemort (if it's romantic) will therefore require some tweaking of circumstances to actually make him fall in love with someone. It is possible to keep him in character, but those circumstances didn’t exist in canon.
Voldemort isn’t a normal person, not even someone like Snape. It would be pretty hard for him to fall in love with anyone. He’s been avoiding love his entire life on purpose, so of course his life would have to change in some way for him to fall in love. He can’t be as "comfortable" as he was in canon.
So I think all Voldemort ships are fanon, but there’s nothing wrong with that! This is fandom, and we can play with fiction however we like. But people who call tomarry shippers delusional and say tomarry Voldemort is ooc baffle me. Do they think any Voldemort in any ship is ooc too then? Are they against fanfiction? I don't know! 😭
Snarry and Tomarrymort are the most mentally stimulating ships I know
Harry is the only person who came close to truly knowing who Voldemort is. That’s why I ship Harrymort.
I love a blushing, giddy, nervous-around-Harry old Voldemort.
my favorite type of tomarrymort is actually Voldemort at the ripe age of 70 discovering feelings of true love compassion towards Harry and suddenly acting like a giddy teenage girl who writes about her crush with added hearts in her diary
Hi, one more question!
I read Tomarry fan fiction with time travel, and when they write that Harry is taking Tom from the orphanage, for some reason they write that Harry expects that if he gives the love and care that he was deprived of, then Tom will become a different person. That is, Harry projects himself onto Tom and expects the same reaction from him that Harry himself would have had if he had been taken away from the Dursleys. And also, I do not understand the authors themselves believe that if you give a child (Tom) everything he wants and do not limit him at least somehow, that he will grow up to be a morally better person? Or do they think that Harry is so narrow-minded and does not understand that punishments and rewards are needed for proper upbringing? That it's not enough to just say "don't do this because it's wrong for a moral reason", but to provide a logical explanation that would be based on logic and pragmatism, which would sound clearer to Tom? What do you think about it?
Anyone could write whatever they want, and I'm not going to diss any specific fics or authors. Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of Harry going back in time to raise Tom fics because it's just not to my personal taste. So, this isn't the kind of scenario I really think about for Harry's and Tom's characters.
In general, though, I think Harry understands Tom and how he thinks more than fanon often gives him credit for. I also think Tom isn't as evil incarnate as some fanon paints him as. I don't think he's super moral, but I don't think he is especially cruel either.
Like, Tom doesn't do immoral things because he doesn't know what's good and what's evil, he is an intelligent capable adult — he knows very well what he's doing is evil, he just doesn't mind doing evil if he thinks it's necessary.
And he has morals. He regrets needing to kill Snape, he dislikes unnecessary death and bloodshed and actively avoids it in the first war. He doesn't want to kill students in the battle of Hogwarts and calls a ceasefire to let them regroup and treat their injuries to the detriment of his own side. He hates cowardice and treachery. He derides Wormtail because he betrayed his friends, yes, that betrayal helped Voldemort, but Voldemort despises cowardly traitors as a rule and his morals are important to him. He hates pretentious purebloods and he shows this contempt in how he treats his followers. Tom has a moral core all on its own with his shitty upbringing, it's just, kinda messed up and he's a practicality-over-morality kind of person most of the time. I'm saying most because he doesn't allow himself to cheat when trying to kill Harry. He just has to kill Harry properly, in a fair duel, because of his own morals and ideals. I also think Tom would be insulted by the concept of cheating at school, for example.
I mentioned in the past the fact Voldemort's favorite spell is the killing curse kinda shows that he has some twisted sense of morality. I mean, in a world where you can burn and cut and torture people with magic there are so many cruel and painful ways to kill someone, and yet, Voldemort's go-to spell, when he isn't making a point or torturing someone for a specific reason, is Avada Kedavra. The Killing Curse is a painless death, even Voldemort considers it a merciful death. It's quick and painless and efficient. This is the death he gave James and Lily because he respected them and didn't want them to suffer unnecessarily. This is the death he chooses for anyone he doesn't have a specific reason to torture because he is against what he deems as unnecessary cruelty. Snape's death is the only real death that is unnecessarily cruel but I think it has more to do with JKR needing a way for Snape to get Harry the information he needs rather than be accurate to Voldemort's character as he was shown thus far.
Like, he has some weird sense of morality, and even with the evil things he does, like murder, he knows they are bad and he does so anyway. Sometimes, he does so regretfully, in the most merciful way he can, and other times, when he hates someone, he relishes in it. It's not about not understanding good and evil or not knowing what morals are, it's about caring about morals less than about whatever goal he wants to accomplish, and sometimes that goal is to humiliate the crap out of Lucius Malfoy, or to showcase how great he is and be dramatic about it. But the fact he has his twisted morals and considers himself merciful is part of what makes him so interesting to me.
yield and have fun
every time I read a paragraph that describes harry x voldy/tom...
like it's straight up begging to be explored. why is it so pretty. why is the ship so freaking disgustingly beautiful? why are they intertwined in every possible way? literally sharing blood and soul??? you guys are enemies, why are you so intimate??? It's giving they do not want to be soulmates but they are. they are literally each other's demise. why do they fuckin parellel despite being so different. like what the fuckkk
and the fact that there's no other HP/mauraders ship that could canonically have their vibes?? Like you have to make shit up to be on their level??
but no I will stay strong. I will hold on to my crippling morals. I will not be tempted...I will not..I will not....
Do people actually ship Tom Riddle (literally Voldemort) and Harry Potter???
What’s the dynamic?? Is it a Time travel AU?? Is Tom aged down in some context or is Harry aged up? Does Tom still kill Harry’s parents? I have so many questions.
