Prompt: Young Antonin Dolohov doesn't really care much for Tom Riddle (or, what's that he calls himself? Voldemort, right.) or all the politics. So when his friends introduce him to Riddle he really just wants to show off how much he knows he knows about strategy and battle magic just for the fun of it. Riddle, however, decides he needs/wants Antonin to be on his war strategy team. Given that Tony isn't interest and Tom isn't one for saying please, he finds a creative way to manipulate the young Dolohov into joining.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Voldemort, Antonin, any other DEs/Purebloods you want
Additional Suggestions: No Voldemort/Antonin please lol. Also, I see Tony as closer to Lucius' age but he can be more around Tom's age if that suits you better.

Prompt: crossdressing!Voldemort
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Bellatrix/Voldemort, not necessarily as a couple but could be
Additional Suggestions: Voldemort has this vice of going to shady places disguised as a woman, pretending to be oh so defenseless, for the thrill of intimidating/slaying people who threaten him.

Prompt #47 Claimed for Fic
Prompt: at the right hand of his master
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Severus/Voldemort
Prompt #48

Additional Suggestions: Voldie does some act to/with Narcissa that Lucius always wanted to but never did
Prompt #50
Prompt: A twist on where we all THOUGHT canon was going: "the power he knows not" is indeed love. However, it's not Harry's love that
saves, it's Severus'. It may be that the only way to save the wizarding world is to save its would-be conqueror - from himself. Or so Severus suspects. But will his love for his lord be enough to open that hard a heart? And will Dumbledore trust him long enough to find out? Redeemed!Voldie (at least partially redeemed, that is; he can still be a bastard now and then if you like).
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Severus/Voldemort, Dumbledore, Trio, etc.
Prompt #51 Claimed for Fic
Prompt: Voldemort loyalist Snape is determined to strike right at the heart of Dumbledore's circle. Bringing Hermione Granger around to the Dark Lord's side is an excellent first step. And fun, he must admit. This must be rather like what the serpent felt in Eden.... And Hermione
proves a dedicated student, much to his Lordship's pleasure.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Severus, Voldemort, Hermione; gen or any pairing/s among those three characters.
Additional Suggestions: Severus giving Hermione Dark arts tutoring, etc. would be great. You could also do the fic with Harry or Luna, but I think Severus and Voldemort would appreciate having such an eager and bright student to teach - and Hermione has a touch of ruthlessness already. - Even better, Hermione helps them recruit Harry.
Prompt #52

Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Harry, Voldemort.
Additional Suggestions: Voldemort possessed a snake (or several) and started to talk to Harry from a very young age.
Prompt #53
Prompt: Dumbledore's manipulations failed; growing up with the Dursley's didn't make him crave attention and acceptance from the Wizarding World, instead it made him independent and indifferent. Neither world had ever done anything good for him so why should he save
one of them?
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Harry, Blaise, Voldemort.
Additional Suggestions: Bonus points if Harry is a Slytherin and is as likely to cause trouble for his own House as he is to cause trouble for other students.
Prompt #54
Prompt: Harry and Tom Riddle Jr. had more conversations (read: wrote more back-and-forth in the Diary) than Harry told anyone. Among other things TRJ told Harry how he could bypass the whole 'no magic for underage Wizards' in order to get back at the Dursley's - especially Dudley.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Harry, Diary!Tom.
Additional Suggestions: Creative ways to use pre-spelled objects and such to use while away from Hogwarts would be awesome. Basically magic without the actual wand or resorting to Harry being able to use wandless magic.
Prompt #55
Prompt: After First Year Lucius Malfoy uses his influence/gold to have Harry stay at Malfoy Manor instead of with the Weasley's at the Burrow.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Harry, the Malfoy's. Voldemort
Additional Suggestions: Anything where the three Malfoy's try to influence Harry toward the Dark Side without resorting to violence. Harry and Draco forming a tentative friendship, and Harry becoming some sort of double or triple agent for whichever side you want...
Prompt #56
Prompt: Crack!fic - somehow, the last horcrux was really a virus embedded in a muggle computer. Voldemort was not amused.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings:
Additional Suggestions: IDEFK. I want to read something funny.
Prompt #57 Claimed for Fic
Prompt: Pansy's 7th year was nothing like she expected, especially on those days when the Dark Lord visited Hogwarts.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Pansy Parkinson (or any other girl really), Lord Voldemort
Additional Suggestions: *cough cough* maybe you want to insert some femmeslash into this story?
Prompt #58
Prompt: Ginny writes about her crush in the diary...but it's not Harry she's writing about.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Ginny, diary!Tom Riddle Jr.
Additional Suggestions: girlhood crushes, femmeslash
Prompt #59
Prompt: Hearts are a traditional metaphor for love. Of course, this couple takes it a bit more literally.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Voldemort/Bellatrix
Additional Suggestions: Either Voldie or Bella wooing the other with real human hearts? Pretty please?
Prompt #60 Claimed for Fic
Prompt: Tom Riddle/Slughorn
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Being in the Slug Club entails a bit more than the rest of the faculty thinks...
Additional Suggestions: Maybe Slughorn molests all his students (that are old enough for you)? Or maybe just Tom? Or maybe Tom seduced him and is now blackmailing him? Go anywhere you want with this.
Prompt #61
Prompt: How exactly did he come up with the anagram "I am Lord Voldemort"? How many false starts did it take?
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Tom Riddle, any supporting characters you may need
Additional Suggestions: Bring on the crack! :) Or, if you can make it serious, go for it!
Prompt #62
Prompt: Against all common belief, Voldemort does have feelings - he just keeps them well hidden. And Bella's remarks about half-bloods really sting.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Voldemort/Bellatrix
Prompt #63
Prompt: I'd love to see what happened during those days leading to Lily and James' murder.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: James Potter, Lily Potter. Sirius, Remus, Peter and obviously Lord Voldemort
Additional Suggestions: It might be interesting to see from Peter' pov since he's on both side...or straight from Voldemort and his personal obsession with the prophecy.
Prompt #64
Prompt: The twins tamper with some chocolates meant for Severus, leading Severus to accidentally slip Voldemort a Canary Cream during the next DE gathering. Yeah, he's so very screwed.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Severus, Voldemort, DEs

Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Voldemort/Snape slash or gen
Additional Suggestions: Voldemort unexpectedly does not kill Snape when he is discovered as a spy, but what does he do?
Prompt #26
Prompt: Dumbledore’s game was a risky one and harry paid for his manipulations in the most cruel of ways. The ancient venom of the
basilisk worked far faster than they thought it would and by the time Fawkes got to harry, he had already lost the use of his arm, it having been broken down by the poison and mangled, his eye was blinded and he would have permanat trouble breathing. Dumbledore’s test went too far and he lost the usefulness of his pawn and threw him away. The Dark Order was there to pick him back up
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Harry, Death Eaters of your choice, Voldemort
Additional Suggestions: Harry mentored by Voldemort
Prompt #27
Prompt: Voldemort discovers muggle torture and death devices from the Middle Ages. It's the best day of his life; finally a solution to
the problem of his many insane followers. They thought he just wanted to purge the world of muggles. Really, it was just time to start afresh.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Any. Gen. Whatever *wink*

Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Whatever makes the story work for you. I just like the idea of a Stars adaptation.

Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Bellatrix/Voldemort, or Narcissa/Voldemort, or Luna/Voldemort, or Minerva/Voldemort, or Pansy/Voldemort

Prompt #31
Prompt: Young Antonin Dolohov doesn't really care much for Tom Riddle (or, what's that he calls himself? Voldemort, right.) or all the politics. So when his friends introduce him to Riddle he really just wants to show off how much he knows he knows about strategy and battle magic just for the fun of it. Riddle, however, decides he needs/wants Antonin to be on his war strategy team. Given that Tony isn't interest and Tom isn't one for saying please, he finds a creative way to manipulate the young Dolohov into joining.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Voldemort, Antonin, any other DEs/Purebloods you want
Additional Suggestions: No Voldemort/Antonin please lol. Also, I see Tony as closer to Lucius' age but he can be more around Tom's age if that suits you better.
Prompt #32
Prompt: Voldemort has OCD and Multiple Personality Disorder. Truly, TMR is just a sweet man in Little Hangleton with 5 cats, a baby grand, and a roster of little ones he gives piano lessons to. He doesn't understand why the Order (barmy fools, the lot of them!) keep thinking he is behind all the madness at play lately.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Gen? Pairing? Whatever floats your boat. :)

Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Tom Riddle / Walpurga Black, Muriel ?Prewett?, any age appropriate female… omg, Amelia Bones
Additional Suggestions: How could she have known what her opinionated, unapologetic tongue would inspire, and he should have known she'd never leave her husband?

Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Whatever pleases you (would really love to NOT have Hermione though but up to you.)
Prompt #37 Claimed for Fic
Prompt: Share some diary entries and conversations between Ginny and Tom.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Tom, Ginny, Tom/Ginny optional
Additional Suggestions: If you want to make it AU and have Ginny be older, so there can be romantic feelings shared and discussed between the two, I'd really love that.
Prompt #38
Prompt:The first time Tom meets Gellert isn't when he kills him. A teenage (after Hogwarts) or 20 something Tom visits Grindelwald in
Nurmenguard.

When he found out about his father's betrayal to his mother who adored him, he snaps and plans his revenge.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Tom Riddle Jr. , Tom Riddle Sr
Additional Suggestions: We all know what happens to Tom's father and the rest of his family. However, I want to know what Tom was thinking when he met his father for the first time and what his feelings were when this meeting took place. It can be dark or it can be light with Tom's ultimate decision to murder coming much later. It is up to the writer to decide!
Prompt #42
Prompt: "You do not seek to kill me, Dumbledore? Above such brutality, are you?" Voldemort knows Dumbledore's past as well as Dumbledore himself does. Before the battle that wages between them in the Atrium, he seeks on destroying Dumbledore the same way he was destroyed and decides to play a little game.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Dumbledore/Voldemort- of course this is up to the author to decide.
Additional Suggestions: Voldemort discovers that he is not as terrified of Dumbledore as before. Can be an AU or it can be canon, it is up to the writer really.
Prompt #43

Suggested Character(s)/Pairings:Voldemort, Severus, Regulus
Additional Suggestions:Go as dark as you like, I'm curious as to how and why Severus and Regulus decided to "quit" the DE. You can go canon with Severus or invent something else, and I AM SO CURIOUS about Regulus. Intricate headcanon about old decaying Pureblood families encouraged. I also love when Pureblood courtesies and Dark magic are depicted in detail. Go wild and have fun :)
Prompt #46
Prompt: crossdressing!Voldemort
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Bellatrix/Voldemort, not necessarily as a couple but could be
Additional Suggestions: Voldemort has this vice of going to shady places disguised as a woman, pretending to be oh so defenseless, for the thrill of intimidating/slaying people who threaten him. The surprise effect, as opposed to the usual automatic fear he provokes in people, gets to him. Once, he brings an also disguised Bellatrix with him.
Prompt #47 Claimed for Fic
Prompt: at the right hand of his master
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Severus/Voldemort
Prompt #48
Prompt: Severus is introduced to the man who promises him everything. He's captivated. So is the Dark Lord.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Severus, Voldemort, Lucius; Severus/Voldemort, Severus/Lucius on the side if you want
Prompt #49

Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Voldemort/Narcissa with unwilling voyeur Lucius
Additional Suggestions: Voldie does some act to/with Narcissa that Lucius always wanted to but never did
Prompt #50
Prompt: A twist on where we all THOUGHT canon was going: "the power he knows not" is indeed love. However, it's not Harry's love that
saves, it's Severus'. It may be that the only way to save the wizarding world is to save its would-be conqueror - from himself. Or so Severus suspects. But will his love for his lord be enough to open that hard a heart? And will Dumbledore trust him long enough to find out? Redeemed!Voldie (at least partially redeemed, that is; he can still be a bastard now and then if you like).
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Severus/Voldemort, Dumbledore, Trio, etc.
Prompt #51 Claimed for Fic
Prompt: Voldemort loyalist Snape is determined to strike right at the heart of Dumbledore's circle. Bringing Hermione Granger around to the Dark Lord's side is an excellent first step. And fun, he must admit. This must be rather like what the serpent felt in Eden.... And Hermione
proves a dedicated student, much to his Lordship's pleasure.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Severus, Voldemort, Hermione; gen or any pairing/s among those three characters.
Additional Suggestions: Severus giving Hermione Dark arts tutoring, etc. would be great. You could also do the fic with Harry or Luna, but I think Severus and Voldemort would appreciate having such an eager and bright student to teach - and Hermione has a touch of ruthlessness already. - Even better, Hermione helps them recruit Harry.
Prompt #52
Prompt: The Fidelius Charm hid the Dursley's house and property, but Harry spent as much of his time as he could away from there.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Harry, Voldemort.
Additional Suggestions: Voldemort possessed a snake (or several) and started to talk to Harry from a very young age.
Prompt #53
Prompt: Dumbledore's manipulations failed; growing up with the Dursley's didn't make him crave attention and acceptance from the Wizarding World, instead it made him independent and indifferent. Neither world had ever done anything good for him so why should he save
one of them?
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Harry, Blaise, Voldemort.
Additional Suggestions: Bonus points if Harry is a Slytherin and is as likely to cause trouble for his own House as he is to cause trouble for other students.
Prompt #54
Prompt: Harry and Tom Riddle Jr. had more conversations (read: wrote more back-and-forth in the Diary) than Harry told anyone. Among other things TRJ told Harry how he could bypass the whole 'no magic for underage Wizards' in order to get back at the Dursley's - especially Dudley.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Harry, Diary!Tom.
Additional Suggestions: Creative ways to use pre-spelled objects and such to use while away from Hogwarts would be awesome. Basically magic without the actual wand or resorting to Harry being able to use wandless magic.
Prompt #55
Prompt: After First Year Lucius Malfoy uses his influence/gold to have Harry stay at Malfoy Manor instead of with the Weasley's at the Burrow.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Harry, the Malfoy's. Voldemort
Additional Suggestions: Anything where the three Malfoy's try to influence Harry toward the Dark Side without resorting to violence. Harry and Draco forming a tentative friendship, and Harry becoming some sort of double or triple agent for whichever side you want...
Prompt #56
Prompt: Crack!fic - somehow, the last horcrux was really a virus embedded in a muggle computer. Voldemort was not amused.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings:
Additional Suggestions: IDEFK. I want to read something funny.
Prompt #57 Claimed for Fic
Prompt: Pansy's 7th year was nothing like she expected, especially on those days when the Dark Lord visited Hogwarts.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Pansy Parkinson (or any other girl really), Lord Voldemort
Additional Suggestions: *cough cough* maybe you want to insert some femmeslash into this story?
Prompt #58
Prompt: Ginny writes about her crush in the diary...but it's not Harry she's writing about.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Ginny, diary!Tom Riddle Jr.
Additional Suggestions: girlhood crushes, femmeslash
Prompt #59
Prompt: Hearts are a traditional metaphor for love. Of course, this couple takes it a bit more literally.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Voldemort/Bellatrix
Additional Suggestions: Either Voldie or Bella wooing the other with real human hearts? Pretty please?
Prompt #60 Claimed for Fic
Prompt: Tom Riddle/Slughorn
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Being in the Slug Club entails a bit more than the rest of the faculty thinks...
Additional Suggestions: Maybe Slughorn molests all his students (that are old enough for you)? Or maybe just Tom? Or maybe Tom seduced him and is now blackmailing him? Go anywhere you want with this.
Prompt #61
Prompt: How exactly did he come up with the anagram "I am Lord Voldemort"? How many false starts did it take?
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Tom Riddle, any supporting characters you may need
Additional Suggestions: Bring on the crack! :) Or, if you can make it serious, go for it!
Prompt #62
Prompt: Against all common belief, Voldemort does have feelings - he just keeps them well hidden. And Bella's remarks about half-bloods really sting.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Voldemort/Bellatrix
Prompt #63
Prompt: I'd love to see what happened during those days leading to Lily and James' murder.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: James Potter, Lily Potter. Sirius, Remus, Peter and obviously Lord Voldemort
Additional Suggestions: It might be interesting to see from Peter' pov since he's on both side...or straight from Voldemort and his personal obsession with the prophecy.
Prompt #64
Prompt: The twins tamper with some chocolates meant for Severus, leading Severus to accidentally slip Voldemort a Canary Cream during the next DE gathering. Yeah, he's so very screwed.
Suggested Character(s)/Pairings: Severus, Voldemort, DEs
Additional Suggestions: Could be crackfic or angst, etc. Or some really disturbingly hilarious fanart.
