Chapter 1: The start of everything

He was going to give Tom the one thing he never had: Love.

Harry was ready to go back in time to make a new future, one that ended with his eternal rest and a content, complete soul. Harry never thought of failure as a possibility. He would realize too late that Life and Fate were fickle, ancient beings that answered to no one. And so Harry left to the past, a time where Tom Riddle was still redeemable, to love and change Tom for the better and create a newer, happier future- nary a thought to what Fate had in store for him.
