OMG I'm so excited for you new fic! Of course take your time and don't overwhelm yourself <3
Ahh this was from a while ago but thank you so much! ๐ค
I still have the unfinished draft of this fic (the one about Dark Lord Tom being openly affectionate towards Y/N) but I haven't had the time to finish it ๐ฅฒ I would post it as soon as I can though, hehe!
Notes: Inspired by my hobby of watching my favorite Twitch streamers while rotting in bed. Super self-indulgent. Y/N is a viewer of his streams.
I. INTRODUCTION
GAMER!TOM RIDDLE first made a name for himself in the gaming community by streaming video game speedruns or playing competitivelyโanything that showcases his technical prowess. He's skilled at his craft and it shows.
GAMER!TOM RIDDLE who initially opposed to showing his face on the internet. He deemed it unnecessary when all he wanted was to share (or perhaps flaunt) his skills online. He's not like his brother Mattheo, a more prominent streamer who shows his face all the time on social media. Tom thought his brother was vain.
GAMER!TOM RIDDLE who, one way or another, had pictures of his face leaked by his brother. Perhaps it was intentional, perhaps notโall Tom knew was it was irrevocable. He was frustrated at first, of course... However, seeing nothing but positive comments has made him realize that he could put his apparent attractiveness to good use.
GAMER!TOM RIDDLE who, with his newfound realization, began to venture further into his streaming career. He'd use facecam on stream, he'd build a more amiable online persona, and, every once in a while, collaborate and play games with Mattheo.
II. GETTING HIS ATTENTION
GAMER!TOM RIDDLE who, while streaming one day, notices your chat amongst the sea of other chatters. It could be something as simple as "Good luck!"โsomething that in any scenario would be ignored by anyone. And ignore it, he did... Until, after streaming, he began noticing your username in his notifications on social media before anything else. See, you weren't being invasive; it was only the frequency illusion at work.
GAMER!TOM RIDDLE who, out of sheer curiosity, scrolls through your chat history on his channel, then moves on to your social media feed. He needs to know why he's being drawn to you. It's utterly stupid, he thinks, how he's slowly becoming parasocial towards a chatterโa total stranger! He doesn't know what to feel at first... But, the more he learns you, the more he yearns.
GAMER!TOM RIDDLE who gets irrationally frustratedโwhat if you find a new streamer to watch? What if you eventually lose interest in him and decide to look for a new source of entertainment? He'd do everything to make you stay, starting with learning your interests to subtly integrate into his streams. You like Kirby? Then he'd buy a plushie of the pink round blob to display in the shelf behind him. Anything you post about would find its way into his streams.
Hello, new followers :D Thank you for the 100+ notes on my first Tom x Reader HC post!
I'm currently cooking something up but the theme is slightly more toxic than the last one lol (Dark Lord!Tom being manipulative towards Y/N...) but i'm not too proud of it yet at the moment OTL
I'll post if I do finish it! (Or if I write something completely different LOL).
Bit of a spoiler but with this one I'm currently writing, I got inspired with a concept that popped in my head one time of Dark Lord!Tom kneeling in front of his darling while his subordinates watch, terrified of them. The Dark Lord throwing away his high-and-mighty statusโshowing everyone you're the reason for all their hard work.

Summary: Just my personal thoughts and headcanons on how Kaji is like as a boyfriend.
Notes: Pure fluff & English is not my native language, apologies.
KAJI REN, who shares his playlists with you. It doesnโt matter if you like other music genres, he will insist that you two share playlists. Once the two of you share playlists, there are times where you see that one of the songs that you added in the playlist is now suddenly in his favorites. And you subconsciously find yourself listening to the songs that he likes whenever you miss him.
KAJI REN, who shows his love through actions more than words. He is a bit more self conscious when he speaks towards you, since he doesnโt want you to get the wrong idea and take it to heart. Which is why every time that you are together in silence, he always makes up to it with his hand in yours, cuddling, sharing earbuds and even simply kissing. Awkward silences suddenly doesnโt exist in your relationship, only comforting ones.
KAJI REN, who finds himself zoning out to the thought of you. He could be sitting on his seat, blasting music on his earphones and simply stare at the wall or ceilingโ his thoughts full of you. Heโs always thinking about how youโre doing, if youโre okay and all that. Sometimes, he literally just thinks about your smile. His classmates, namely both his vice captains, always know whoโs on his mind whenever they see him stare at the ceiling one day. They say one word about it and they are met with a spine-chilling glare.
KAJI REN, who always notices the little things. The way your eyes light up whenever you hear a topic youโre well-versed about, the way that you stare at him from afar, the way you smile whenever you see him, and simply the way that you love him. These things that you do for him, makes his heart swell about you. Itโs always the fact that you also notice the little things about him as well, and the fact that you try your best to give him those thingsโ it makes him fall harder. Of course, he does everything that he can to repay that love back, for his special treasure.
KAJI REN, whoโs always glad to have you by his side. The whole world could be against him, but not you. Every time that he shows up at your doorstep, all bloody and silent, you always let him in. The way he shares hushed whispers of thanks to you each time that you patch him up, and each time makes you fall in love with him. He knows that every time that heโs in low, youโll be there to pull him back up. Youโre always and will forever be his number one supporter.
KAJI REN, who grows soft whenever youโre around. Because itโs you. He may not admit that he has grown a soft spot for you, but everyone around the both of you knows. The way that one part of his headphones are tilted, so that you know that heโs listening, the way that his eyes is always turned to you, looking at you as if you hung up the sun and stars. The way that he turns to you, and links your pinkies together. Just so you know that heโs there.
KAJI REN, who is your overprotective lover. Every time heโs with you, he always stands behind youโ making sure that your back is safe and sound. Heโs got your back, quite literally. Every time that he senses danger, heโs pulling you closer to him. He feels relief if he senses and feels you close to him, since it says that youโre there and safe with him. Wherever you go, you know that youโre gonna be okay, since Kaji could be there, or he could simply be one call away. Since heโll always reply if itโs you (even if the way he texts is kinda mean).
KAJI REN, who struggles with words. The way he speaks is quite brash, but you know him better enough to know that he means well. Essentially, you become his translator when it comes to situations like these. He scolds someone harshly for not taking care of their things, you translate it to them as that heโs just worried about them and doesnโt want them losing their things. He shouts at his classmates for being reckless? You translate to them that he does not want to see them severely hurt.
KAJI REN, whoโs also grown a soft spot for your pets (if you have any). Whenever he stops by, your pets are simply drawn to him. You find him playing with them and cuddling with them as he scrolls through his phone. Sometimes, he even stops by with treats and food for them, the way he makes time for them as well since he knows that you deeply care for them makes you swoon.
KAJI REN, who loves you so much, you donโt even know how much he does. Because every time that you whisper I love you to him before you go to sleep, he whispers an โI love you so much moreโ once he knows that youโve dozed off.
"If they dare touch a hair on your head, I'll fight to the last breath." โ Hand in Glove (The Smiths)
TOM RIDDLE holding you so, so closeโhis arms wrapped around you as he hums. If you weren't feeling so terrible, you would notice his slender hands moving in a seemingly calculated manner as he strokes your hair. But as you continue to sob into his chest, you can't help but lose interest in your surroundings. In his arms, you feel wantedโa stark contrast from the usual treatment you get from others.
TOM RIDDLE frowning, his stern gaze focused distantly on the empty hallway. He hates seeing you cry, that is for certain, but he can't pinpoint exactly why. Why, in Merlin's green Earth, has he taken a liking to you?
TOM RIDDLE shaking his head to rid himself of his thoughts. When you briefly look up at him with your tear-stained eyes (perhaps concerned about how heavily he's breathing), his heart cannot help but flutter. Right then and there, he realizes: he has to protect you.
TOM RIDDLE holding you closer, his chin resting on the top of your head. As he grits his teeth, he thinks of all the curses he could potentially use against your tormentor.
TOM RIDDLE smirking, reminding himself of just how powerful he isโhow much better he is (and, by extension, you are, too) than everyone else. He's eager to defend what is his; he is not afraid to get his hands dirty just to keep you pristine.
After all, who would suspect the perfect Slytherin prefect of doing such heinous things?
