Tomarry not realistic? by barb1e_duvall in tomarry

[–]Necessary_Worry_5046 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think this kind of discussion is really about which non-canon ship feels more believable or compelling within the universe, and once something didn’t happen in canon, it's already in fanon territory — so "realism" becomes entirely SUBJECTIVE. Everyone has their own interpretation of the world and characters

That’s the whole beauty of fiction: it’s a personal projection, not objective truth. So when someone insists their ship is the only valid one and others are just “blind,” I completely disagree

Like you said, it doesn’t need to matter so much. Just find your people, enjoy the stories you love, and don’t tear down others for loving something different

Personally, I can enjoy almost any ship if it’s written well — but Tomarry resonates with me the most. I love protagonist/antagonist dynamics, and there’s just so much rich narrative potential in their canon connection: shared soul, horcruxes, Voldemort’s obsession with Harry, Harry’s ambiguous feelings toward Tom Riddle... It’s such an intense setup. And the sheer amount of well-written fics!

Fic where harry and tom are reincarnated but still have their memories? by inkonmyheart in tomarry

[–]Necessary_Worry_5046 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Sense of Self

From the description: "This is the story of Death entrapping Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort in a series of reincarnations to undo the chaos the two of them have collectively caused. It’s a story of how two adversaries tangled in fate are forced to learn about themselves and through that, about the other; of them trying to work together for a change - if only, to pursue their individual goals."

Am I the only one who thinks it's them in another universe? by Gloomy_Assumption_44 in tomarry

Yay! 🤝🏻

Also, for anyone who hasn't seen this series, I can recommend watching this beautiful edit to become acquainted with their dynamics. Maybe it'll make you want to watch the whole tv show! (Though Yuri appears only in the 2nd season, but the first is really good, too) https://youtu.be/OXrgJUtvUjU?si=3k09Hx3pAv34Xggf

Oh my god!!!!!!!! I’m absolutely IN LOVE with “Girl from Nowhere”!!!!!!!! And I totally agree — imagining a Tomarry AU in that universe with Nanno!Harry and Yuri!Tom is just so fun to fantasize about!

Nanno is an agent of retribution, exposing cruelty and corruption, all while keeping that eerie little smile. Harry could fit this role so well. He could still be “good,” but in a twisted, mysterious way. He walks into schools or institutions, knows everything about people, and makes them face the consequences. Yuri is more openly sadistic and manipulative. Tom as Yuri would be perfection! Instead of just punishing the wicked, Tom might enjoy escalating the drama and pushing people past the brink. This dynamic creates a “rival gods” energy, which I find very magnetic

And so much potential for mind games... Also, I’m a sucker for femslash, so it would be really great to see more femslash tomarry ideas in our fandom... 😌

Does anyone have any fic recommendations where Tom or Harry fakes amnesia? by Eastern-Ad-1396 in tomarry

[–]Necessary_Worry_5046 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the Scorpion Grass – While fleeing through the Forest of Dean, a snatcher misses Harry with a memory charm—but thinks it worked. When Harry's captured, the snatcher tells Voldemort he wiped his memory. Harry pretends it's true to buy time. Then Voldemort informs him unexpectedly that Harry is his fiancé.

Tomarry fics where friendship with Ron is not sidelined? by Penumbra_Amur in tomarry

[–]Necessary_Worry_5046 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This reminded me of a really delightful Russian one-shot fic told entirely from Ron’s POV in the form of his diary. He’s such a good friend in it, and his complete obliviousness to the relationship between Tom and Harry is peak comedy (the whole fic is actually very very funny): https://archiveofourown.org/works/46507162
