Harry Potter: The Great Tom Riddle's Diary of Struggle

A journal of the Dark Lord's Muggle father being forced to raise a child. Different paths will lead to completely different endings.

Being loved can make someone grow a heart and soul at a startling pace. Read on to watch a young Voldemort grow up, a little more lively than he was in the original story.

Here you'll find Abraxas Malfoy, noble and beautiful on the outside but a little foolish underneath; the next Dark Lord, Alphard Black; Eileen Prince, who studies both Potions and chemistry; the unlucky Amycus Carrow...

All things grow, and everyone has their own vivid colors.

With new inventions, they will transform the wizarding world, and wizards will step into view before Muggles around the world.

[Happy ending + main pairing Voldemort/Abraxas + original freeform pairings + lots and lots of headcanons + a mix of serious drama and lighthearted comedy]

[All wizards grow stronger + the young Voldemort's career advances gradually as he gets older]

Please note:

[Some chapters include jokes and memes. Love can make you delight in poking fun at someone. Voldemort is not portrayed in a demeaning way, but if you can't stand jokes and memes, don't read this. If you have any dealbreakers, please leave now.]

[This is not a redemption story. A lighthearted style doesn't mean the protagonist isn't dark.]

[This is a story about young Voldemort growing up, so he isn't the strongest from the very beginning. Please give him time to grow. He doesn't become the fully realized Dark Lord overnight either. ('◡')]
