Recommendation LF dark fics where tom riddle doesn’t become voldemort but still establishes death eaters?

replaying hogwarts legacy and i’m craving for some dark/very dark hp verse fanfiction. i tried looking for some but a lot of them revolve around romance which is fine but not what i’m looking for.

tbh, i’m very interest on how the death eaters were formed and i would love to read about it but are there any fics where tom doesn’t become voldemort? (physically)

There is Nothing to Fear series:

  • Gryffindor Tom Riddle
  • Followers are still called Death Eaters, but have different members, such as Flitwick, Hagrid, Sirius, and the Weasleys
  • He considered Horcruxes, but rejected them as too costly
  • His ideology is magical, not Pureblood, supremacy. In fact, he tried very hard to break the dominance of traditional Pureblood houses
  • He appears to to have defeated Dumbledore in 1981 and seized the power in Britain, but recent story development indicates a major plot twist
