I know people have written Harry-steals-Voldemort's-memories a lot, but in my fic, due to unique circumstances that you won't ask about, Tom Riddle and Harry are allied. When Voldemort is resurrected, Harry experiences the visions sent along the scar connection.

Basically, Tom AK's Harry in the back, who survives, forging another connection in the process. Using Harry as a mental conduit, Tom employs Legilimency against Voldemort and steals his memories (possibly) using Harry as a buffer to absorb Voldemort's retaliation.

Is this idea like a castle built completely of obsidian in that it is too hard to believe?

 

So...in your fic you have Tom Riddle alive and Harry alive, and allied to each. But you also have Harry as the Boy Who Lived, meaning he was attack by Voldemort (leading to Voldemort downfall), Voldemort being Tom Riddle, then you have Voldemort coming back to life whilst Tom is still around and allied to Harry. So you basically have 2 Tom Riddles.

Then you Tom (Harry's ally) AK him in the back (which is NOT a particularly friendly thing to do). And then you have Tom Riddle possess Harry, in an attempt to possess Tom Riddle to allow Tom Riddle to steal Tom Riddle's memories for himself whilst allowing his ally (Harry) to accept damage occured in the process.

...wtf?

 

Couldn't normal possession apply? I mean, in OotP Potter was able to repel Voldemort only because it wasn't planned earlier and there was this stuff with Sirius (*vomits*). After all, we don't know how exactly it works (do we?), so it's an open game for everybody, who wants to meddle and create. :>

If using Potter to steal old Voldemort's memories was his goal from the beginning, he could weaken Potter's defences, possess him, try to steal Dark Lord's memories.

In my opinion, trying to recreate forging of that particular connection is virtually impossible, and so much easier would be defining a bit more magic and mechanics of possessing somebody.

 

Simply AKing Harry in the back wouldn't create a connection to him.

Harry and Voldemort only had that connection because

Spoiler

Harry was a horcrux.

The Tom Riddle who came out of the Diary cannot replicate this.

 

Ok maybe you should clarify a bit how there are two Tom Riddles running around first. Then perhaps we can understand this idea a bit better.

 

I suppose you should read this: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3672254/1/The_Emergent_Darkness

 

To be honest: That looks like a fangirlish slash fic.

Perhaps I'm biased because I have seen a few fics with Harry being capture by and then befriending diary!Riddle and the blossoming luuuuurve between them convinces Riddle to change allegiances.

This plotline is stained.

 

And a bit futery too.

Give us more information Andomalius, because right now I am confused.

 

I agree with you, you are biased. However, it is exactly the opposite: Tom drops hint to his bond to Ginny, and manipulates Harry into killing her, and poisons him against Dumbledore, and since Harry doesn't know a damn thing about closing his mind, he has no choice but to side with him.
