Echoes of Loneliness

Tom Riddle x reader

The castle was quiet, the only sounds coming from the occasional footsteps of students returning to their dormitories. You were sitting on a bench in the courtyard, staring off into the distance, lost in thought. You had been feeling so alone lately, even though you were surrounded by people every day.

That's when you saw him walking towards you. Tom Riddle, the boy who had captured your heart since the first day you met him. You had tried to stay away from him, knowing that he had a darkness inside him that frightened you, but you couldn't help the way you felt.

"Y/N," he said as he approached you. "What are you doing out here all alone?"

"Just thinking," you replied, trying to keep your voice steady.

He sat down beside you on the bench and looked out at the castle walls. For a few moments, you both sat in silence.

"I know how you feel," Tom said finally. "Like you don't belong, like nobody understands you."

You looked over at him in surprise. You had never expected him to understand how you felt.

"I've always felt that way," he continued. "But I've found that there are ways to make the pain go away. To feel like you're in control."

You knew what he meant. You had seen the way he could manipulate people, the way he could make them do whatever he wanted.

"But at what cost?" you asked softly. "Is it worth it, Tom?"

He turned to look at you, his eyes piercing into your soul.

"Yes," he said firmly. "It's worth it to feel powerful, to feel like you're not alone in this world. Don't you want that too?"

You didn't know what to say. Part of you wanted to give in to his words, to let him show you how to feel powerful. But another part of you was afraid, afraid of what he might do, afraid of what might happen if you went down that path.

"Tom," you said, your voice trembling. "I don't know if I can do this. I don't know if I'm strong enough."

He took your hand in his, his touch sending shivers down your spine.

"You're stronger than you think," he whispered. "And I'll be here to help you, every step of the way."

You looked up at him, his eyes full of intensity and passion. You knew that you wanted him, that you needed him, but you also knew that it was dangerous.

But in that moment, as you sat there in the quiet of the castle, you felt like maybe it was worth the risk. Maybe you could be with him, be his partner in crime, be his equal.

And so you took his hand, knowing that you were embarking on a journey that would change your life forever.

~False God~

Happy Birthday Severus! ✨️🖤✨️ I'm sorry I didn't drawing something more cheerful, but I couldn't say no for angst art ;_;

Hope you will like it and this smol text, which I wrote for them~☆

The Priest's Cry

"Oh Serpent God,

Oh my Immortal God.

Can you hear me?

Can you hear your priest's loud cry?

Why you lied to me?

Why you betrayed me?

You promised me enlightenment,

But you sent me darkness.

You took my purity,

But gave me corruption.

You turned living water into dead blood

And turned life into death.

You devoured my body and tormented my soul.

I gave you everything and you destroyed all.

Your tousand burning eyes pierce me through and through,

Where can I hide, where can I die?

Your golden cup burns my hands,

Your corrosive venom burns my mouth.

Your hallowed snake writhes on my chest and tears apart my throat.

I feel like I'm rotting, my arm's falling off.

My love is dead and there's nothing left.

You were supposed to be like a father, but you became worse than Death.

You hear my lament and I hear your laughter.

Why are you mocking me, why are you fooling me?

Who will save me from you? Who will save me from myself?

It will never end, the guilt will never go away.

You are the False God, God of Corruption, God whos Lying.

May you became The Mortal One."

Susceptible Youth

Severus got pulled a lot of different directions, i wonder if Dumbledore ever tried to get him for his army? Or was he just left to fall into Voldemort’s arms?

20 year old Severus getting the courage to beg Moldemort to spare Lily. He can’t say he loves Lily, but he lowers himself into admitting he desires her—Voldy has a face for that… Out of order, looks like a shitty sketch…might make it real someday.

[rxsilabeth--er]

What about Tom Riddle, who just lingers in corners and watchea through shadows and reader who likes to sneak up on him?

:)

Hello? Yes, thank you for the request! More of a drabble now, I suppose, but it's still so cute!! Okay bye-bye!!

Tom dating someone like you, says a bit about his fucked up life. Okay, leaving that, I'm just imagining him standing there in the dark reading a book and out of nowhere a little squirrel climbs up on him making him scream like a girl and fall over while Abraxas tries to stifle his laughter because it's you...you.

He gets constant heart attacks from you because he never knows where you're going to sneak up and jump on him from,

but he adores your nonetheless, even though he got his first white hair at 11. And it only got worse from his first meeting with you.

I imagine you both met when he was sitting in a train compartment, and you popped out of a bag and sat down like nothing was wrong.

, and he was ready to jab his wand in your eye?? Because wtf?? Huh??? Poor boy was so scared and confused, his inner voldy died in that moment for a good few hours.

He is now equipped with her safety hazards which are his hands so he catches you when he can, which is half of the times you sneak up on him, poor thing is scared to death by it.

He cannot count how many white hair he finds a day after you sneak up on him... He's gonna turn 50 by the time he's out of hogwarts, poor thing..Don't get me started on the way you hide in shadows

Imagine him freaking out because he saw your beady eyes staring at him while he's working with his basilisk..

I like to imagine every once in a while - exclusively during one-on-one conversations - The Sneep will sneak in a pun so silly, so out of place, and yet so masterfully and seamlessly, that the person he was speaking to wont actually register what he just did until long after the conversation ended. things like "we must leaf" and "it's shrimple."

... and all they can do is lay there and think about it for ages to come because no one will ever believe them

AND he's done it to Voldemort too, because he CAN. Mr Dark Lord, has spent a truly embarrassing amount of time wondering whether he heard correctly, but its such a nonsense silly little thing to be fixated on, that He Must Act Like It Never Happened just in case his insanity brain made it up somehow.

[souryam]

there's like virtually nothing you can say to me or quotes u can throw in my face to convince me that 20 year old Lily was fine and ok with her husband (a.k.a basically the only person she has around) sneaking out at night to. what. annoy muggle police officers? So many people say "oh no she was talking fondly" and I never got it bc I've always read it as her coming across as annoyed. annoyed but trying to tone it down giving that it was a letter to Sirius. Like imagine you're 20 year old with a newly born baby having to live in almost complete isolation in the middle of a war and a half of the parental unit just decides to dip every Wednesday for #boysnight like what

[tardiskater]

okay but like is there a fic that is more tragic then remus' canon? because like I think it's pretty damn hard to beat growing up alone because you were bitten when you were five and are afraid of hurting anyone, going to school during the start of a war, being thrown straight into fighting with your best friends as newly graduated teenagers, losing trust in eachother and coming home more and more tired, 'three' of your best friends dying all in one day and your boyfriend being the traitor who gets sent to askaban, having to survive alone for the next twelve years and endure the moons alone for the first time as a child because your pack is dead, becoming a teacher at the same school you grew up in and having to endure the ghosts of your past while trying to make a better future, having your deads best friends son be in your class who you saw on the day they were born but haven't seen since James and Lily's death, finding out that your traitorous ex boyfriend has escaped from prison and is near the school, finding out that one of your old best friends is still alive and that your ex boyfriend was never the traitor, reuniting with your ex boyfriend and feeling sixteen again, being thrown from the only job you have ever loved because you've been exposed as a werewolf, fighting in the second war with your boyfriend only to have him die a mear two years after you finally got him back, picking up the pieces and trying to find love again, marrying the cousin of your former boyfriend, having a child with her and then dying in the final battle of a war you've been fighting your whole life and being unable to see your son growing up.

[maxdibert]

Oh, holy maxdibert, please bless us with post-school pre-teaching (from 18 to 20) Snape headcanons

Alright, here are some headcanons I’ve always had to fill in gaps and make sense of certain things:

• His mother died shortly after he left Hogwarts. Eileen’s health had already been in terrible condition due to her way of life, and she was increasingly neglected. In the end, she passed away from some sort of magical illness.

• Severus only returned to Spinner’s End for the funeral, where his father showed up drunk. He decided he had no reason to go back there, especially now that his mother was gone and he was involved with the Death Eaters, finally able to leave the Muggle world behind for good.

• He handled Eileen’s death terribly by completely ignoring his need to grieve, pretending it hadn’t happened, and using the fact that he no longer had any connection to the Muggle world to sever himself from that part of his life, which he had always hated as it reminded him of terrible things.

• Another terrible way he coped was by throwing himself into his “work,” which at that time consisted of political scheming with the Death Eaters. He volunteered for every undesirable task just to avoid stopping and thinking about things he didn’t want to face.

• That’s basically how he ended up taking on espionage tasks for Voldemort: aristocratic pure-blood wizards saw sneaking around in alleyways as lowly work. They wanted to plan assaults or be on the front lines, playing heroes of fanaticism—not hiding in the trash to see what scraps they could gather. Severus didn’t mind because it meant being out all day, avoiding places that made him stop and think.

• Being meticulous, perfectionistic, and someone who liked working alone, he turned out to be excellent at it. Since he was so good at it, he caught Voldemort’s attention. Voldemort might be oblivious when it comes to emotions, but he’s practical and knows how to spot talent.

• This led to Voldemort giving him more complex and secretive tasks, tasks he wouldn’t entrust to many others. It was the door to Voldemort’s inner circle, in a way so discreet that many in the organization still thought Severus was just “Lucius’ half-blood lackey.”

• Speaking of Lucius, of course, he was the one who brought Severus into the Death Eaters. They were pretty close during that time, with Lucius taking on a kind of patronizing, older-brother role toward him.

• That was also when Severus started to really bond with Narcissa. They’d known each other for years but hadn’t spoken much due to the age difference and because he mostly saw her as “Lucius’ girlfriend.” But once they were out of school and the Malfoys were about to get married, they started interacting more, and Narcissa sort of “adopted” him.

• He attended the Malfoys’ wedding, which took place in early 1979.

• That spring, he found out that his father had been found dead in an alley. No one knew what had happened; they just told him that Tobias had been fired from the factory months earlier for showing up drunk too many times, and afterward, he’d never left the pub.

• He didn’t care about the details—just that the house was now his, and he didn’t want it for anything.

• Instead of grieving properly for this second loss, so close to the first, he focused even more on advancing within the Death Eaters, taking on more and more dangerous and reckless missions.

• Voldemort admired his dedication to the cause and his willingness to risk his life, but he had no idea that Severus didn’t care about the cause at all—he just wanted to stop thinking.

• That same year, he also found out that Lily had married James Potter. When he was told, he didn’t say anything—he just compulsively smoked through two packs of cigarettes in a single day.

• His favorite coping mechanism? Absolute avoidance of emotions, with no attempt to acknowledge or process them.

• He wasn’t sad or jealous about Lily’s marriage—he was absolutely furious and deeply disappointed. This culminated in him getting into a ridiculous fight with another Death Eater over some stupid comment. He ended up lunging at the guy and completely wrecking his face.

• Some of the more sadistic Death Eaters thought Severus was a pretty tough guy after that, like some kind of rabid animal. But in reality, he was just a kid who’d been taught to handle emotions with violence.

• He heard the prophecy because Voldemort had finally entrusted him with one of the riskiest tasks: spying on Dumbledore. Ironic, since years later Dumbledore would ask him to do the same thing, but in reverse.

• He liked the recognition Voldemort gave him, liked feeling useful, liked occasionally visiting the Malfoys, and liked how Narcissa would shut Bellatrix up whenever she made snide remarks about him. Bellatrix reminded him too much of Sirius Black—not just in her arrogance, impulsiveness, and insufferability, but also in their physical resemblance—and it drove him crazy.

• He often hung out with Mulciber, Avery, and Rosier, but he got bored quickly because all they did was get drunk and fall over after barely a few drinks. They couldn’t hold their liquor at all.

• Severus wasn’t much of a drinker for fun, but when he did, he could handle a lot more than they could. He would never have admitted it out loud, but in those moments, he thought of them as spoiled brats.

• He had a couple of flings with some pure-blood girls they introduced him to, but nothing serious. Narcissa would sometimes scold him, telling him to find a good match and settle down because “family, blah blah blah,” but it all just sounded like old-people talk to him.

• Around that time, Lucius was obsessed with trying to get Severus to apply for Ministry positions, claiming that with the right connections (i.e., his), Severus could rise to a high-ranking role. But Severus wasn’t interested and never paid him much attention.

• He perfected his Occlumency skills during that period because many Death Eaters were skilled Legilimens, and he didn’t want anyone getting into his head.

• He met Draco shortly after he was born, which was one of the most awkward moments of his life. He had no idea how to interact with a newborn, so he just stared at him for five minutes like he was some exotic animal that was both intriguing and baffling. Narcissa eventually had to tell him to stop staring because he was going to traumatize the baby.

• The idea of returning to Hogwarts or Spinner’s End would never have even crossed his mind—until he heard the prophecy.

• He learned that strength, wealth, or brilliance aren’t the keys to success; the ability to obtain and manage information is the key to power.
