What do any of us want but a second chance, an opportunity to say no to that offer, to turn a different way? For one who's never believed in his own depravity, his own sadistic cruelty, Azkaban will humble him in the most cruel of fashions. PG13 for language, angst, character death and slight SS/LM slash written/implied

"This would be my legacy, what I would leave behind when and if I ever had the misfortune to die." Tom Riddle reflects on his making-and-breaking, dearest Virginia, and the attributes of one Lucius Malfoy. Set during CoS, with an interesting take on the relationship between Voldemort and his most trusted servant. Not Slash.

He should have guessed something wasn't right the first time, but he would have plenty of opportunities to wonder what exactly was wrong with his small, quiet wife... Explores the depth of Tom Riddle's effect on Ginny Weasley, and her slow spiral into something much more than insanity, where she brings everyone else along for the ride. Rated R for some racy bits and mild gore. A lovely Gin N' Tonic for the dark at heart.

1970's-Voldemort's rise to power and the disappearance of one Morganne Lestrange. 1990's-Voldemort's second rise where a woman content in her Muggle life is pulled back to the wizarding world to become a key player whether she likes it or not. When the choices given to Morganne from both sides are not choices, but orders, she is left wondering which is the greater evil: serving the man who manipulated her brother, or the man who hides behind smiles and twinkling blue eyes while the world falls down around his ears. There is a thin line between good and evil, love and lust, manipulation and being manipulated, and Morganne must make her decisions while walking it, with the likes of a Malfoy and Snape making it harder at every turn.
