Summary
~Tom~
He feared death more than an eternity of insanity, and condemned himself because he was hurt, he was scared, his mental state was likely unwell, and he was a bloody sixteen year old, and however cunning, why couldn't they keep a teenager out of the Restricted Section? And he'd found a way to not die, and he didn't care about the consequences.
-
~Harry~
It became almost a habit to obsessively throw himself at anything remotely related to Voldemort, regard to his own life be damned. If he died, he could rest.
...
"Avada Kedavra."
There's a moment of frightening clarity, and Harry's mind involuntarily jumps to a clause only heard in wedding vows said with conviction at holy altars. He wants to laugh hysterically, for Harry James Potter and Tom Marvolo Riddle have never been anything more than two kindred spirits kept from each other before they could ever meet, and the Boy-Who-Lived and Lord Voldemort have never been anything more than the worst kind of enemies.

or; when Harry and Tom have too many parallels and connections to not be hopelessly entangled. and when one falls, the other is soon to follow. (ft. the wizarding world's two most angsty boys)
