30 Tomarrymort Recs for 2024 — One-Shot Edition (Part 2)
2024 recs continued! Here's a round-up of some of the most compelling one-shots that I came across in 2024 that I hope showcases the diversity of talent in our ship across a broad range of tropes and themes and ratings 🤍
Criteria for this list: one-shot, complete, published in 2024. Can be read in 1 sitting. Overall for 2024, I've split up the year-end recs into 3 parts: (1) Completed Multi-Chapter Fics, (2) One-Shots, (3) WIPs. Here’s the link back to Part 1: Completed Multi-Chapter Fics.
The 3rd and last part of this list (WIPs/Longfics updated in 2024) will be posted soon. Happy reading!
*
A Moment of Curiosity (or Weakness) by koel7 (E, 6k, complete)
“I’m having these dreams,” Harry says. “You’re in every one of them. I think you’ve been in them for a long time, I just didn’t know it was you.” Tom inclines his head, and Harry sees the red eyes. He sees deathly, pale skin, and a flash of green light. “Do you remember?”
a pale horse by @ictyn (E, 7k, complete)
Harry, a penniless orphan, struggles to survive under the superstitious judgement of his isolated puritan community. One day, a vile omen is left before the church, an omen which portends only doom. The elders choose to cast Harry out, sending him as a sacrifice to a crumbling castle. The Dark Lord waits within, ravenous for the taste of his blood and the sweetness of his soul.
A Prank Unlike Any Other by A_Single_Cactus (E, 2k, complete)
It was April Fools’ Day. Harry decides to prank Riddle by acting differently. He decides to act nice. It doesn’t go as planned.
Adhesion by @telelli-writes (T, 5k, complete)
Overachieving sixth-year prefect Tom Riddle is on the fast track to be Head Boy next year, a Department Head by thirty, and Minister for Magic by forty. Harry Potter, Quidditch star and the most popular boy in school, doesn't factor anywhere into those plans or Tom's life. Until Professor Slughorn pairs the two of them together on a Potions project.
bad guy by @circleofplanets (M, 5k, complete)
Considered the power couple of Hogwarts, Tom Marvolo Riddle and Harry James Potter have been the topic of interest ever since they got together. A series of interviews getting close and personal with their friends and their outsider perspective on the famed couple.
Blood of the Covenant by @solelyseeking (E, 10k, complete)
Perhaps more than Parseltongue ran through Tom's veins. The Gaunts carried a hunger in their blood- not just for power, as is their right- but for each other. Tom thinks of the way their legacy had dripped from Harry's tongue, later that night, as his wrist works beneath the covers. He feels no shame for his urges. Tradition is sacred, after all. And Tom had always wanted a family.
Consume by @known-concepts (E, 4k, complete)
Something goes awry during Voldemort's resurrection, the balances of life and death are upset, and there is only one way to fix it.
cult classic by @aitafrog (G, 3k, complete)
For his whole life, Harry’s been looking forward to leaving behind the Dursleys and making his own fresh start. He’d envisioned endless opportunities ahead of him, with countless ways of reinventing himself. But for all of his daydreams and plans, he never quite imagined his fresh start involving the infamous cult leader Tom Riddle.
Customer Service by lilacscented (T, 6k, complete)
Furious at Borgin & Burkes’ blatant false advertising and shoddy customer service, Harry spends his Christmas Eve on a quest for Justice. Tom, meanwhile, is just punching the clock for some holiday pay. Both of them end up getting more than they bargained for.
deadbolt by @duplicitywrites (E, 8k, complete)
Tom is stunning at sixteen. He has always been an exception in a sea of mediocrity, a chameleon of sorts, conducting himself with the arrogance of genius astride the pity of orphanhood. Each facet of Tom Riddle is a domino on the path of Voldemort; it is up to you to divert them. Or: Harry goes back in time again, and again, and again.
don't blame the stork by @theonceandfuturequeenoftarts (T, 10k, complete)
Harry feels a little adrift after the war, so Magic decides he needs a baby, Magical Britain decides he needs to be Minister, and Voldemort decides he needs some company.
Eternal Hunt by @metalomagnetic (E, 3k, complete)
Harry wants to be good. Tom wants Harry.
Fearsome Thing by @0p4l3sc3nc3 (NR, 13k, complete)
It was him. The angel. "P-pleased to meet you," Tom murmured, and then cursed his tongue for the stutter, and his throat for the raspy tone of his voice, and his heart for being a traitor. And the angel—Harry, he had to remember that name now, it was of utmost importance—smiled at him. "The pleasure is mine.”
Heartbeats by @cyandenial (T, 10k, complete)
Harry Potter, a medical student, volunteered to help in St Mungo's hospital for the summer, to gain extra credits and some practical experience. He was assigned to look over one old man, a task no one wanted, because Tom Riddle wasn’t making it easy for anyone. His horrible attitude brought about every nurse to tears, and Harry was determined not be among those who cried. To everyone's surprise, he managed somehow… Until he didn't.
his love life and death by @noctelier (T, 5k, complete)
Tom Riddle doesn’t get sick. His immune system, just like the rest of him, is extraordinary. Incomparable. No one would dare suggest otherwise. Which is why everyone goes silent when he starts to cough. Or: Tom contracts Hanahaki Disease, knows what he must do about it, and decides he’s better than all that (until he doesn’t).
Ho, Ho, Ho by @moontearpensfic (E, 3k, complete)
Tom's parents take him shopping at the mall, where he scopes out snake paraphernalia and a Santa Claus with pretty green eyes.
if the moon should ever doubt by @fericide (M, 6k, complete)
They meet in the Astronomy Tower.
Mistletoe Managed by @tommarvoloriddlesdiary (T, 3k, complete)
“What’s so bad about magical mistletoe?” Harry asks. Hermione sighs, “Well, magical mistletoe won’t let a person go until they share a heartfelt kiss... So he'll be there a while.”
O Come, All Ye Faithful by @shyinsunlight (E, 3k, complete)
The sanctity of midnight mass requires dignity, composure, and absolutely not dropping the thurible when Harry fucking Potter walks in fifteen minutes late. Harry, who hasn’t darkened the church door since last Easter, and who’s apparently decided Christmas Eve is the perfect time to make his triumphant return to worship.
paint your eyes with sunsets by @boyneptunee (T, 5k, complete)
Tom moves to a new apartment building where he more or less gets himself a boyfriend and a family. Oh, and there's also a cat.
Resonating Souls by @endlessburningdarkness (E, 4k, complete)
Minister Riddle has an unusually dream filled night.
Roughly 19 Years Later by @dividawrites (E, 2k, complete)
Platform 9¾ is a nice place for reunions.
seven by lilacscented (T, 7k, complete)
Harry meets Tom Riddle on the first day of school. He has just turned seven. “So you’re like me,” he says, a statement, not a question. “Meet me in the woods later this afternoon.”
Soil by @ratzeebatz (T, 11k, complete)
The thing about Tom, and many people were aware of this, is that he had a combination of traits that made him both dangerous and infinitely appealing to anyone that spoke to him. Or: Tom Riddle is a murderous herbologist, and Harry smells better than anything he's smelled before.
stumbling into wonderful by @satflesk22 (E, 5k, complete)
The Ministry sees fit to meddle at Hogwarts in an attempt at curtailing rising pureblood sentiments, to try and lure prospective recruits away from the Dark Lord Nott. Unsurprisingly, the Heir of Slytherin is stuck together in a room with the Chosen One. The worst part is that it bloody works.
The Betrayal (and Boon) of One's Own Biology by @riverxsong-ao3 (E, 7k, complete)
Tom Riddle had always known he was destined for greatness. As a young wizard, he was certain he would present one day as an Alpha - strong, powerful, in charge. When he did not, he came to accept that he must, in fact, be a Beta. Then, one day, everything changed.
The Descent by @chaos-bear (E, 5k, complete)
Secrets, grief and blood magic collide in the depths of the Austrian Alps.
The Good Knight by @mosiva (E, 9k, complete)
Harry and Tom drifted apart at Hogwarts, and Harry hasn’t seen Tom in years as she’s off travelling the world. But Harry doesn’t have time to be sad about it. She’s got problems closer to home – like helping the Order of the Phoenix to combat the recent rise of one Lord Voldemort.
the thing lay dead by @duplicitywrites (E, 7k, complete)
In the end, there was one body that all refused to touch. It unnerved people to see even the corpse. Harry tended to him, this man made mortal. Smooth, alabaster skin and thin, brittle bones. Peaceful in death as he had never been in life. No longer a monster. Now a body, just like everyone else.
this is my persona, secret lover (he's my collar) by souliloquium (M, 3k, complete)
Some things are the same, some things are different. Harry is not the Boy Who Lived. He still finds the locket. And Tom finds him.
We Bow to Each Other, Harry by @liquidluckandstuff (T, 4k, complete)
Harry falls asleep with the Horcrux around his neck and has a very strange dream.
When the Weight is Gone by @marrythemonstersao3 (M, 7k, complete)
In the quiet after the war is over, Harry feels the empty space in his soul like a missing limb. Eventually, his grief and longing come to a head when Death offers him a choice: to move on for good, or go back and do it over again.

40 Tomarrymort Recs for 2024 — Longfic Edition (Part 3)
Part 3 of 2024 recs! See below for a round-up of some of the most engaging multi-chaptered works/longfics that I came across in this ship in 2024 🤍
As with last year, I found each of these fics, in their depiction of the ship, to be a fresh or surprising take on our familiar beloved characters of Harry and Tom|Voldemort, with an emphasis on underrated fics and/or fics that made me think about the ship in some new way. It's amazing to me that even after 20+ years of writing in this ship, there are still so many new themes and tropes and angles to explore.
Criteria for this list: multi-chaptered, Tomarrymort-centric, with at least 1 update published in 2024.
Overall, for 2024, I've split up my year-end recs into 3 parts: (1) Completed Multi-Chapter Fics, (2) One-Shots, (3) WIPs. Here’s the link back to Part 1: Completed Multi-Chapter Fics with 30 fics and Part 2: One-Shots with 30 fics. And with these 40 fics, this wraps up 100 recs for Tomarrymort for 2024!
*
a cool drink of water by @zolpidem105 (E, 10k, WIP)
Harry Potter, an apprentice at Police Scotland, wakes up to find he’s not in his bed. "Awake? Excellent. We should get going," Tim?—Tom—says from the side, sounding far, far too alert for what Harry feels is catastrophically early in the morning.
A Simple Request by @shyinsunlight (E, 70k, WIP)
Harry can't sleep because of his neighbours' constant fighting, and he ends up falling asleep at work. Tom Riddle, CEO, is not particularly happy.
Accidents happen by @themothatyourdoor (T, 51k, WIP)
Harry must have been London's first accidental sugar daddy.
And the Living Will Envy the Dead by @k-s-morgan (M, 114k, WIP)
When Tom looks at Harry, he feels nothing. Until he does, and then Harry’s world starts drowning in blood.
Anytime, Anywhere, Always by @moontearpensfic (E, 30k, WIP)
Tom expects to feel victorious at his greatest enemy's confession. Instead, he develops a crush on him.
Auror Potter by @albondiguilla007 (E, 21k, WIP)
Harry Potter is done. He's been in the past for months now, working undercover. Enter Tom Riddle. Impulse control has never been a strong suit of Harry’s, and this mission is proving to be the most difficult one yet.
By Any Means by @corpium (E, 101k, WIP)
Harry Potter will do anything to protect his little brother, whether that means facing the Dursleys' wrath, dogging his brother's footsteps, or taking down the Dark Lord himself. Absolutely anything.
Crush by @chiocchi (T, 4 chapters, WIP)
Tom Riddle doesn't know what it's like to have a crush. So when his heart starts beating fast every time he sees Harry Potter, it can only mean one thing: His instincts are telling him that Harry Potter is a threat that must be eliminated.
Do It Over by @marrythemonstersao3 (T, 57k, WIP)
Harry wakes up on the morning of his eleventh birthday, ready to do things differently this time. He has no grand plans, just the instinct to be close to the man whose soul he shares.
draw me after you (let us run) by @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger (E, 287k, WIP)
“Harry Potter,” comes the soft, sibilant hiss of a voice he has heard in his dreams, in his nightmares, in his waking hours for years. “It seems I have finally caught you.”
Echoes by @dracomort (M, 4k, WIP)
Across a thousand worlds, Harry and Tom find each other.
Embryo by @cannibalinc (NR, 112k, WIP)
This is Tom’s destiny, a King among men. No—a god. He need only rise to that which is his for the taking… if only one strange boy weren’t so determined to get in his way.
Hole in the Wall by @elddrmot (E, 77k, WIP)
Voldemort survives the final battle and is imprisoned in Azkaban. After a series of unfortunate events, Harry Potter ends up in the cell next to him.
Ills of Murder by @shadow-of-the-eclipse (M, 90k, WIP)
Harry Potter is a time-travelling, furious mess, and he is going to kill the Dark Lord. Like most of his plans, things do not work out. Tom should not be so obsessed with his would-be murderer.
Liquida Tenebris (Remastered) by @dymis (E, 595k, WIP)
When Harry Potter cast his first Cruciatus Curse, he was successful. In doing so, he awoke the darkness in his head. It whispers, and it's never wrong. The darkness is hungry, and won’t be denied.
Moon Rite by @isalisewrites (E, 15k, WIP)
Voldemort learned the truth: Harry was his horcrux. With a sudden offer of a ceasefire, the decades long war could be over - lives saved and protected - if Harry swore to one agreement: a magically binding marriage contract with Voldemort himself.
No Glory by @obsidianpen (E, 313k, WIP)
The Dark Lord divines what Harry Potter is in the Forbidden Forest, and revelations lead to incomprehensible consequences. Lord Voldemort has won... and the dystopia is damning.
Of Kings, of Pawns, and of Men by @ambivalens999 (E, 166k, WIP)
When Harry succumbs to dementors in Little Whinging, the last thing he expects is to wake and find Tom Riddle’s face staring back at him in the mirror. It only goes downhill from there.
of various storms and saints by MaidenMotherCrone (E, 36k, WIP)
“I am the last Lector. I am my people’s very last hope,” Harry bites out through the teeth of his fury. He is done throwing curses and spells. He is reduced to this, divine rage. And then, Voldemort is there, looming and dark and great and terrible. “And I will stamp it out.”
One Year In Every Ten by @saintsenara (E, 207k, WIP)
A decade after the final battle, just when the wizarding world thinks itself safe, a serial killer emerges, leaving a trail of dead women in his wake. Each of the bodies bears a gruesome message for the Aurors. A message which claims the Dark Lord has risen again.
Reckless Cartography by @meles-merrivale (M, 39k, WIP)
Featuring Harry and Tom attending Hogwarts together and slowly ruining each other’s lives.
Revolution of Configured Stars by @tollingreminiscentbells (E, 162k, WIP)
In another world, Harry Potter was spared. Raised in Lord Voldemort's Britain, he enters his seventh year wanting to keep his head down. But after a chance encounter with ‘Marvolo Gaunt’, it looks like it may not be so simple.
Saint Harry by @alenablack @chaos-bear (E, 70k, WIP)
The moment Harry is struck by the killing curse, it’s not death that awaits him, but ascension. A story of faith, obsession, and the burden of divinity.
Seaforth by @kippipies (M, 10k, WIP)
For as long as he can remember, Harry's had a normal life, looking after a precocious child named Tom on an isolated island. But everything in his normal life is shattered when he finds out a terrible truth: that a powerful leader called Voldemort is after him.
Seeing Sand by @valkyrie-chemist (T, 95k, WIP)
Anticipation bubbled in Tom’s stomach as he imagined fear and shock Harry’s green eyes. Eyes that snapped open the instant Tom's hand touched the frame of the hospital bed. Eyes that burned gold.
some like it hot by @duplicitywrites (E, 12k, WIP)
When Tom Riddle applies for an internship at the Ministry of Magic, he is assigned to the Department of Magical Fire Control and Containment, a department that boasts a very impressive headcount of one: Harry Potter.
Strings of Fate by @solelyseeking (E, 58k, WIP)
“When I touch you,” Tom says, bitterness clinging to every syllable, “I feel whole.” Harry might just be the first interesting thing that Tom has ever encountered.
Stygian by @crowcrowcrowthing (E, 71k, WIP)
There's a book in Voldemort's private library that can explain this kind of magic. The cover is black and shiny and looks like it's breathing. Harry really wants to take a look at chapter three, no matter what it takes.
Tender Reigns Our Night by noumena (M, 103k, WIP)
Sent on a Ministry mission to fight for magic's survival, Harry goes back in time with two simple objectives: find and destroy any existing Horcruxes, and stop Tom Riddle ever evolving into Voldemort. Harry thus finds himself working alongside Riddle at Borgin and Burke's.
The Longing by @aglassroseneverfades (M, 41k, WIP)
What is possibly most damning of all is that Harry is not thinking of his parents right now as he trudges alongside his companions up to Voldemort’s eerie castle. He is thinking instead, as he often does, of a name that burns too brightly on his wrist in the pre-dawn light.
The Runemaster by @kazisstillawake (E, 43k, WIP)
Harry trips on a rock and leaps through time. 1940s Hogwarts is very different from the home he is familiar with. To make matters worse, he is dumped into Slytherin – Riddle’s territory. But it’s hard to be invisible when you’re a novelty, a new student that knows too much for your own good.
the stars, my destination by @milkandmoon-ao3 (E, 47k, WIP)
Harry is sent through time to the relative safety of 1963 and adopted into the Potter family. Now he’s entering his sixth year at Hogwarts in 1976, with a war brewing just outside the school walls. The last thing he needs is to catch the attention of the rising Dark Lord.
The Unintentional Consequences of Prison Reform by @badluck (E, 28k, WIP)
Harry Potter, newly licensed Mind Healer, puts personal history aside to take on his hardest job yet. “Talk to me, please. Give me a chance to make you better.” Lord Voldemort looks downright murderous.
The Word of Your Body by @ictyn (E, 7k, WIP)
“Have you heard from him?” Albus asks. He only means one person when he asks Harry this question. He’s asked it five times in twenty years, and the answer is always the same. The only thing he knows about Tom is that he’s not dead. Harry would know if that happened. He’d feel it beating inside his heart, inside of his very soul.
Timeless by @perhaps-sunlight (E, 3k, WIP)
In which Master of Death Harry Potter time travels to the 1940s, only fixing Tom Riddle isn’t quite what he had in mind.
To the Hilt by @izharmilgram (E, 28k, WIP)
Voldemort had trusted him with the task of bringing Prince Gryffindor under his control, thus securing the future of Gryffindor within their hands. Tom would do so easily—the prince was a mere omega, docile and sweet, easily swayed—and then Gryffindor Kingdom would be folded into the Slytherin Dynasty. He would prove himself undoubtedly useful, and Voldemort would finally let him rule at his side.
Venom or Valor by @lightningant (M, 52k, WIP)
20 years old and unemployed, Harry decides to use a time turner to travel to 1946. But what he finds isn’t the proud, charismatic Dark-Lord-To-Be, but a neurotic 19-year-old Tom Riddle living quietly in the tiny flat that his retail job barely pays for, isolated and addled by chronic illness.
we made universes out of bitten lips and broken hands by @boyneptunee (M, 68k, WIP)
Seer Harry who tries to write his own future, fuck prophesies and mastermind darklords and evil teachers. He will live his life, and he will enjoy it, dammit. Oh, and there's also Tom Riddle.
What In Me Is Dark, Illumine by @telelli-writes (M, 80k, WIP)
There was a new transfer student, Tom observed at the Start-of-Term Feast as he idly twisted the Gaunt ring around his finger. Featuring a schoolboy on the precipice of becoming a monster, a powerful and mysterious newcomer to Hogwarts, and an initial spark of interest that becomes an obsession.
With a resolute heart by Act_Naturally (M, 243k, WIP)
Triwizard Tournament, but Hunger Games: Tom Riddle needs to win to fulfill his plans. Cedric Diggory wants to make his family proud. Hermione wants her friends to survive. Harry wants a lot of things, including Tom Riddle.
you speak of the devil (like he's not your friend) by @amuria (M, 64k, WIP)
When Harry wakes a seventeen-year-old Tom Riddle from the Gaunt's Ring, it is to a world where his future self has achieved none of their goals except one. Harry is proof that he's a great wizard after all.

Sirius offending his three best friends in no time at all, and knowing none are going to walk away, has sent me.
I wish it was the full moon.
Put it away before Wormtail wets himself.
I'd say she thinks you're a bit conceited mate.
Dude. Chill!

Sneaky Snippets
thanks for the tag @yallthemwitches! here's a snippet from my cruel summer chaos fic (which is jussssst about done!).
James turns toward her on the bench. “I really want to be your friend, Evans.”
Her scepticism flares before she can stop it. “And this has nothing to do with the almost-shagging thing.”
“I mean—” He shrugs, grinning now. “It might have a little to do with the almost-shagging thing. I’m not likely to forget it anytime soon.”
“You must forget it,” she demands, pointing at him. “Immediately.”
He leans closer, grinning wider. “It was the hottest thing of my life, Evans.”
She scoffs. “We didn’t even—”
“Doesn’t matter,” he says quickly. Earnestly. “It was you.”
tagging @apalapucian @tainwho @juniperpyre & uhhh idk anyone who has a snippet to share!

just had a canon divergence idea where the order arrives late and Harry accidentally kills Lucius Malfoy in the department of mysteries. The shock factor gives them the ability to quickly stun and take down the other death eaters. Knowing he’s already on thin ice with the ministry and doubtful, especially after a year of being ignored, of Dumbledore being able to or even willing to wrangle him out of punishment again, he realises he has to go on the run. Of course, when Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna and Neville all figure out that Harry’s not planning to return to hogwarts, they try to convince him out of it but he’s too scared of getting his wand snapped, and the magnitude of what he’s done (killed a prominent political figure) is really hitting him. At this point, he harbours a very real fear that he might be sent to Azkaban. They, after a few loaded looks, set their jaws and say that they’re not going back either, that they’re going wherever he goes. Harry tells them how much harder it is is to stay hidden in a group of 6 and forces Ginny and Luna to stand down. Neville gives him a tougher time (because Harry can’t use his age against him) but he also backs down when harry reminds him of his broken wand and how he won’t be able to get a new one at all if he’s known as Harry’s accomplice. Ron and Hermione flat out tell him to stop acting like a dickhead and even mentioning how their families would react doesn’t deter them. There’s no way they’re letting Harry go alone. Harry promises to use the galleon to contact Neville, Ginny and Luna and let them know how they can help. Now the golden trio are on the run! How i see the rest going is just the order frantically trying to track them down, to plea for Harry to return but Harry, now totally mistrustful and unwilling to believe that he’ll face no repercussions for killing lucius, just refuses. Sirius is out looking for them too; Dumbledore has now proven he’s incapable of looking after his godson so he’ll have to do it himself. And yeah everything is a mess!

Is it just me that sees potential for something between Sami and noor? Like you could tell he felt really guilty about killing her brother and i feel like eventually she would realise it wasn’t his fault and they could develop some kind of a relationship.

an uncertain future
The leaves change but I remain as unsure of the future as I was 2 years ago. The only difference is now I have to think about it. As I walk around the park, damp leaves littered all over my path, my concerns cloud my mind from its beauty. Everyone is moving on and I am stuck still.
#28 October 2023#ohhh i was going through it#u guys don’t understand#It was time for ucas applications and I had no clue what degree I wanted to do#the decision was following me around like a heavy balloon attached to my body#im not even joking

Saturday night
The night air was light, with only the slightest chill though we were creeping into mid-October. My dress swept around my legs and my heels clacked loudly but the sound was covered by our laughter. We stumbled home, teetering, grabbing hold of each other to avoid falling like a stack of dominos onto the ground. The giggles had caught us and our stomachs were aching from it. Though it was the end of our night, we were in unimaginably good spirits, brightened by the prospect of removing all our makeup, hopping into our matching PJ’s and ending the night with a massive sweet feast we’d already prepared before leaving. The city lights were bright above us, reflecting off our shiny, satin dresses and illuminating our faces an iridescent bluish red. We caught sight of other groups of girls, our mirror images, and exchanged knowing smiles and greetings.
Every week, every Saturday night, we did this. It was a way to forget our ordinary lives during the week, forget the stresses of work and home life. Whatever worries we had dissolved like breath into wind.
Probably describing a group of girls this moment (perhaps a bit later since it’s 7.30) on a Saturday night.

I drove home and when I got to the parking lot, I didn’t have the will to stand and move. I didn’t have the will to even do a single movement like unlocking the car. I simply sat there, slumped on the steering wheel, helpless to the deep, dark depression taking ahold of me.
#im so emotionally repressed#my parents fucked me up in that way to the extreme#and lowkey my closest friends are all the same so#idk#sometimes it all catches up to me#3 October 2023

food poisoning
Every quarter of an hour I wake up from dreams of me surrounded by my family’s aid and find an empty house and a beckoning sink.
#19 July 2023#omg this dayyyy#I was literally food poisoned and so delirious#my whole family went to the beach so the house was empty and I was going crazyyyy I was hallucinating them helping me and stuff#it was intense I’d convinced myself I had kidney failure and was slowly being poisoned inside out
