[Fic] Penance
Title: Penance
Author: Winter Ashby (rosweldrmr)
Disclaimer: Harry Potter © J.K. Rowling
Rating: M
Timeline: Last scene of Deathly Hallows (AU)
Summary: Tom saw a moon-lit sky and the face of a girl he never really loved. Because he couldn’t love, not as he was. It was just an echo, the imprint of a piece of his soul he lost 17 years ago reflecting back on the monster he became. (Riddle & Ginny)
Authors Notes: This is a rewrite of the last scene in DH. Instead of trying to kill Harry, Voldemort relives each of the lives of his horcruxes and in so doing, manages to revert to his 16-year-old-self and with the help of a certain red-headed girl, pieces himself back together in a moment of mistaken regret. I have no idea where this came from. It's weird and a little twisted, bu so am I so... I guess it makes sense that I'd write something like this. My first Ginny/Voldemort (Tom Riddle). But I wanted to stay true to canon, and Voldemort was a monster. He could never love. But maybe, Tom Riddle could have, before he split his soul. So that's where I drew inspiration from.
