One plot idea could be that Fem Harry, with her unique perspective as a female in a male - dominated wizarding world, catches Tom Riddle's attention in Hogwarts. He's intrigued by her different way of approaching magic. Maybe she's more empathetic and uses magic in a way that he's never seen before, leading to a complex relationship where he both admires and is jealous of her power.
A great plot could involve Fem Harry being sent back in time and meeting a young Tom Riddle. She tries to prevent him from becoming Voldemort. She uses her knowledge of the future and her own charm to sway him from the dark path. Along the way, they develop an unexpected bond, with Tom being conflicted between his dark desires and his growing feelings for Fem Harry.
One plot idea could be Fem Harry growing up in the wizarding world with the secret of her parentage. She might start to notice strange similarities between herself and Tom Riddle's dark magic tendencies, but struggle against them. Another could be her discovery of her heritage leading to a conflict within the wizarding community, as some fear she will follow in her father's dark footsteps, while others believe she can break free from that legacy.
One idea could be a time - travel fanfic where Harry goes back in time and tries to prevent Tom Riddle from becoming Voldemort. He could try to befriend the young Tom and show him a different path. Another could be a fanfic where Harry and Tom are somehow trapped in an alternate dimension together and have to work together to escape, all while Harry tries to understand what made Tom turn so evil. A third idea is a fanfic where Tom Riddle actually has a change of heart early on due to some magical accident that makes him experience a different kind of love and kindness, and Harry has to deal with this new Tom in Hogwarts.
In a 'Harry Potter meets Tom Riddle' fanfiction, a really unique plot could be that Tom Riddle is reborn as a normal wizard without the dark desires due to some powerful magic. Harry Potter meets this new Tom and they become friends at Hogwarts. However, there are still some remnants of the old Tom's power that attract dark forces. So, Harry and Tom have to work together to fend off these threats while also exploring Tom's new identity and how it affects the future of the wizarding world. This would involve a lot of character development for both Harry and Tom, as they navigate their relationship in this new scenario.
One idea could be a time - travel plot where Harry goes back in time and tries to prevent Tom Riddle from becoming Voldemort. He could try to befriend the young Tom and show him a different path. Another could be a scenario where they are both put in a magically created alternate reality where they have to work together to escape.
One idea could be that Fem Harry Potter, with her unique perspective from another time, tries to raise Tom Riddle with a sense of love and family that he lacked in his original upbringing. Maybe she uses her knowledge of the future to guide him away from the dark path. For example, she could introduce him to different magical cultures early on to broaden his view.
The allure often lies in the novelty. It's exciting to see how the story changes when Harry is female. For instance, the way she interacts with Tom Riddle can be completely different. She might be more empathetic towards him in some fictions, which could potentially change the course of his dark journey.
The idea of fem Harry and Tom Riddle in fanfiction is interesting because it subverts the traditional gender roles in the original story. Instead of the typical male - male rivalry, we have a female - male dynamic. This can lead to different power plays and relationship developments. For example, fem Harry may approach Tom Riddle with a different set of strategies based on her female identity.
In this type of fanfic, a really interesting plot might be that Harry and Tom Riddle are in an alternate reality. In this reality, Hogwarts has a different set of rules and magic. They are both outsiders in this new world. They start to rely on each other for survival, and in the process, they discover new aspects of their magic and themselves. Harry tries to use this opportunity to redeem Tom Riddle, while Tom is constantly tempted by his old, dark ways.
Another plot could involve the diary having some sort of connection to the other Horcruxes. The protagonist, using their knowledge from the Harry Potter series, tries to use the diary to find the other Horcruxes. This would be a really exciting adventure as they navigate through the dark magic associated with both the diary and the Horcruxes.
A possible plot is that a young wizard, who is a huge fan of Harry Potter stories in his own time, somehow gets transported back to Tom Riddle's era. He initially just wants to see the famous Hogwarts of that time. But then he crosses paths with Tom Riddle. He decides to use his knowledge of the future to try and befriend Riddle and change his path. However, he soon realizes that Riddle is far more complex and dangerous than he expected, and his actions start to have unforeseen consequences on the future.
