Fic: Bring Me to Life

Hello, all! I know I've been quiet lately (not like me at all, is it?), but have been tres busy with RL things that I won't bore you with here, as I've bored most of you already about them on Twitter. The only non-boring thing that's happended in the last few weeks was a brilliant visit from softly_sweetly over Halloween weekend. Spectacular!

Anyhoo, I also come bearing fic as the hp_cross_fest reveals are now up:

Title: Bring Me to Life
Pairing: Harry Potter (aged 20)/Tom Riddle (aged 16), RW/HG (implied)
Rating: R
Word Count: 8,750
Disclaimer: This is a work of fanfiction which means the characters ain't mine. No profit is made from this work.
Summary: Tom Riddle has suddenly reappeared at Hogwarts. But what are his intentions? And what are Harry's? AU. I PROMISE THIS WON'T SQICK YOU! Romance (ish), hurt/comfort, emo (ish)
Warning: Very ambiguous ending
Notes: The prompt was Three years after the war, Harry's scar begins to bother him once more. As you know, I usually write fluffybunnyhumour!fic but wanted to try my hand at something with a darker theme. This fic really needed to be closer to 20K for it to be more believable(!), but I think the fest mods might have come after me with the business end of a Dementor if I'd attempted that. Please just suspend your disbelief and pretend that decision-making in the wizarding world is a faster process than is truly canon :) As always, huge props to my three –yes, count 'em — three betas for their wonderful help and kind words ("WTF do you think you're doing?"). Title taken from Evanescence's eponymous song.
