The Masterlist finally dropped!

We're so grateful to all who participated and joined this year's event. We gave birth to 15 tomarrymort creature fics. 🥰

Please check out our lovely collection and give your lovely kudos and comments, don't worry we won't bite! 😉

Fics

A Muse, me (amuse me) by Soulseeker (Laserswordtraining), E, 7783

Lonely royalty Lord Voldemort falls in love with his companion AI.

----

“Compeer. You are mine, but I do not need you.”

“That’s right, I’m a tool and you’ll use me as you see fit,” the compeer mocked, “but being your companion and understanding what you want and how best to serve it, I think it best to goad you occasionally. It’s what you need and that I’ll provide. If it’s not what you want then I wouldn’t be able to do it, I’m made to please you and you’ll find that this does.”

----

He shouldn’t be this tempted. But this was Harry, and Harry was only part of him, made to know him, made to serve him.

Baby turn the bright lights on, M, WIP

For ten years, zombies have ravaged the British Isles.

For ten years, Lord Voldemort has searched for a cure.

The dead fear sunlight. They hide during the day and surround Voldemort's hideout at night. Inside, he scrapes a solitary existence from the bones of an empty city. One day, a zombie with abnormal behavior patterns catches his eye. It is docile, it is still, and most strangely of all it stands in daylight without fear. Voldemort recognizes the zombie-messy hair, green eyes, and a scar-as the corpse of his fated vanquisher. He resolves to capture the zombie as a test subject, but his plans are thrown off completely at an impossible discovery-Harry Potter's heart still beats inside his chest.

After ten years, this may be the break he's looking for in his research.

But, even undead, the Boy-Who-Lived has a way of always disrupting his carefully laid plans.

Boulder On by lumosatnight, G, 1000

Two rocks, chillin’ on a tall cliff, five feet apart ‘cause they’re not gay… or are they?

Dreams of Hell Sweetling by SquibNation10, T, 1135

Harry is bored of ruling Hell; he bothers Voldemort, who is too content to stay alone in the pits of Nightmares.

Ghost Town by dystopianrebal, T, 3939 words

Hailee Potter is an investigative journalist looking to uncover the secrets of a small, desolate town in the top most part of Northern Scotland. When she arrives, her nerves are overwhelmed by feelings of dread and… excitement?

The streets are filled with human statues, crumbling buildings, and signs warning her to turn back but she’s not just a Potter for show. Her family has quite the knack for being courageous to the point of carelessness and she’s no different.

In Poor Taste by TeaandSweaters, E, WIP

As the longest serving Minister in British Wizarding history, Tom Riddle has the world in the palm of his hand. He's handsome, intelligent, and capable of bewitching even the stoniest of beings with the flick of a finger.

Harry Potter hates his guts. Riddle's policies are a nightmare, his smiles are phony, and worst of all, the word 'no' doesn't appear to be in his vocabulary.

Between juggling his wrongfully imprisoned godfather, his nosy ex-girlfriend, and the stress of his job, the last thing Harry wants to deal with are the Minister's suspicious dinner requests; unfortunately, Riddle is just as persistent as Harry is stubborn.

Written for the prompt: Tom Riddle is the man everyone wants. He only wants the one person who can't stand his mere presence.

Infinite molts with you by Laserswordtraining, G, 1824

prompt: After his death, Voldemort is reborn as a phoenix, somehow finding himself as Harry Potter’s most trusted and treasured companion.

Onions and layers, Potters and prophecies by Laserswordtraining, G, 12309 words

Following the plot of Shrek, follow naga!Tom as he journeys with gnome!Ron to bring Prince Harry Potter down from his tower to marry Dolores Umbridge, and empty his glade of all her banished magical creatures and "half breeds".

Rooted by Inhumane, E, WIP

In a dark future where magic and technology collide, Harry Potter wakes in the heart of a corrupted sentient fortress—and finds himself powerless, alone, and hunted by the very walls he's trapped in.

Scales and Feathers by ChemFreak, G, 5286

The peaceful life of the old snake Voldemort is rudely interrupted when a new inhabitant arrives at the meadow that has been Voldemort's hunting ground for many years. He is not going to tolerate this intruder!

Slither Into My Chamber by SquibNation10, M, 1821

Harry's gone back in time to change the past. In doing so, he's also changed himself. No longer a wizard, but now a merge of a beast.

*

The allure of revenge is too great to resist; Tom seeks out the Chamber.

*

Inspired by Mary Howitt's 'Spider and the Fly' and Lewis Carrol's Lobster Quadrille.

Speedrunning Danger by evaleon70, G, 7677

Prompt fill for Fanged Fated Fest 🖤

"Someone traps Harry Potter in a tower. The dragon grew obsessed with him.

Harry is not amused by Tom."

or

The Princess becomes the Knight.

Thirteen by Bubbleversity, M, WIP

Quidditch leagues avoid recruiting witches and wizards with creature inheritances due to many players and fans seeing it as unsportsmanlike behavior through an unfair advantage.

Months away from graduating from Hogwarts, Harry decides to keep his newly discovered creature inheritance secret to fly under the radar of the recruitment bias. But keeping the secret is easier said than done. Hogwarts’ gossip mill is hotter than ever, and when it comes to Harry, there are a handful of students who don’t know when to mind their business.

Unfortunately, despite Harry’s furtive efforts, Head Boy Riddle discovers Harry’s magpie inheritance, and Tom is not above blackmail. Now, Harry must acquiesce to Tom’s demands if he is to have any chance of becoming a professional quidditch player.

Tides of Temptation by LiquidLuckandStuff, M, WIP

Voldemort won. It took him nearly a decade, but he won. The wizarding world was his, and there was no one left to stop him. At least, no one that he cared about.

Now he thought he might help repair the wizarding world by rediscovering some of its ancient history. He thought he had a lead, a massive temple deep down in the depths of the ocean that only someone as powerful as him would be able to reach. Too bad there were still those desperate enough to oppose him.

Luckily there is someone he thought long since dead willing to save him.

~~~~~~~

Harry was supposed to be safe when the order took him from the Dursley residence. They were going to bring him to Grimmauld place and he was going to spend the rest of his summer with his Godfather and be happy for the last few weeks of summer.

Of course that wasn't going to happen.

They were attacked, and Harry was kidnapped to Merlin knows where only to be saved by the last sort of people he would have ever thought possible.

Dragged down into the depths of the ocean, Harry ends up forgetting his life as a human and begins anew as a merman.

That is until a familiar face comes into his territory...

bloody money by queasy, T, 928

Tom Marvolo Riddle, the famous resident vampire and The Undersecretary to Minister of Magic, is starving for his favorite meal.

Title: To Have a Home Podficcer: Aulophobia Author: Aulophobia Muggle Theme: Harry and Draco in the Muggle World Rating: Explicit Link to Text: To Have a Home Fic Warnings/Content Notes: Descriptions of attempted suicide, severe injury, mentions of physical and emotional abuse (not between Harry and Draco), death, murder, and mayhem Author’s Summary: Not quite a decade after the war, Draco Malfoy was happy with his quiet little Muggle life in Oxford. He had a small group of friends from the university he’d attended, and colleagues from the law firm where he worked as a solicitor. He played folk music on his violin around the city. And he volunteered to provide legal services getting mostly idiot teenagers out of trouble with the law. His life was full. He had no contact with the magical world, and all was the way he liked it. And the feeling of emptiness in his chest, the feeling some part of him was missing, was at least better than the alternative. Or at least it was until the last few months when he kept getting called down to the police station to get Harry Potter out of trouble. Indecent exposure and possession was one thing, but the latest charge was for murder. OR Harry and Draco find each other again after the war in Oxford, a completely non-magical city. Together they solve the mystery of the city which hates all wizards but them. Length: 14 hours 45 minutes File Size: 1.8gb mp3 Podficcer’s Notes: I will thank again my Alpha and Beta from last years Careers fest, when I wrote this story. Also the wonderful mods who run this fest, and without whom I would never have managed to get round to actually doing this. There have been a few minor changes to this as I was recording (the advantages of recording your own work) - including a bonus letter in the final interlude not in the original story. Thank you in advance to anyone who decides to listen to this. Music is Danse Macabre by Saint Saens.
