This is my work for the @tmrhpgiftexchange !

Gift to @ictyn :)

Prompt: Exes to lovers (Fluffy or angst), Xmas/Tom's birthday.

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁✨

In this AU, the biggest fear of Tom Marvolo Riddle might be seeing Harry in distressed.

END!

*Hermoine and Ron had known all along that Tom never cheated. (They kept telling Harry this but he just wouldn't believe it)

*For these three months, Harry had been stalking Tom's social media. (To maintain his public image, Tom would still post photos from his social event, but never anything intimates ever since the 'breakup' with Harry)

*Bella's entire social media feed was filled with her and Tom. She was completely one sided in love with him (Tom always thought she was just messing with him)

*Tom had been devastated these 3 months, and had been using all his waking time to either drinking, causing stress to his followers, and using all his waking hours planning the most miserable slow, slow death for Bella

Merry Christmas Eve! It’s posting day for #TMRHPGiftExchange2025! 🎁🎄❤️

Please see guidance below ⬇️

Artists (who haven’t chosen to post exclusively to the AO3 Collection), please post your piece to your social(s) within the next 24 hours. Make sure to tag your giftee, #TMRHPGiftExchange2025 and @tmrhpgiftexchange too!

(If your giftee is on another social media platform, then you can just mention them by name in your post and we’ll send them a link to your post.)

Writers, the AO3 Collection will be revealed by the admin team within the next 12 hours. Once this has been revealed we’ll let you know via DM, and you’ll then be able to post about your pieces elsewhere 😁

Once your own gift has been posted, we’ll send you a link to it also! Happy gifting! ❤️

Submissions Open 🎄 🎁

Submissions are now open for the 2025 TMRHP Christmas Gift Exchange! They'll stay open from 00:00 GMT 7th December-23:59 GMT 14th December, so please submit your work within the next week.

(If you have any issues with this timeframe, let us know ASAP)

Writers, please submit your works to the AO3 Collection. Your piece will stay unrevealed at this time. Works will then be revealed by the event organisers on 24th December, and it's then that you'll be able to post about them publicly elsewhere.

Artists, you are welcome to submit your pieces to the AO3 Collection also but if you'd prefer to only post on socials, that's no problem! Please send your completed pieces to us via Tumblr message or Twitter DM within the submissions period, though, so we know that they're done and you're ready to post them on the 24th December.

Everyone, if you're posting to your social(s) on the 24th, please tag the event account on whichever platform you're posting on (tmrhpgiftexchange on Tumblr, tomarrygiftfest on Twitter), #TMRHPGiftExchange2025 and your giftee!

Those of you posting to AO3, please follow the posting guidance under the cut:

How to post to the AO3 Collection

When you click on the link to the Collection above, you'll be presented with the Collection page. You'll need to find the 'Post to Collection button' (this is circled below and shows where it appears on mobile. If you're on desktop, the button will appear on the right hand side of the page).

Once you click the 'Post to Collection' button, you'll be presented with the usual AO3 posting form. Please complete this as you would any other work, but also find the 'Associations' section. If you've clicked to post to the Collection correctly, then the collection should automatically show in the Associations section as shown below:

As you can see in the example above, if you'd like to then you can also use the Gifting field to gift your submission to your giftee by inputting their AO3 username (if your giftee has chosen to pass their AO3 username over to us, then we'll send this to you shortly via DM). Don’t worry—as long as the work has been added to the Collection correctly as shown above, the details of the gift won’t show to your giftee until the Collection is unrevealed on the 24th December.

If you'd prefer to just mention who the work is gifted to in the work's notes, then that's fine also!

When you’ve completed the form, click ‘Post’ at the bottom and once we've approved your submission, you’ll see your work in the Collection marked as ‘Unrevealed’. You’re all set!

Important Note About Publication Dates:

AO3 will automatically list your work as being posted on the day you submit it to the Collection, which means that when the Collection is unrevealed on the 24th, your work will not automatically appear at the top of the Tomarry ship tag. In order for your piece to be seen in the first page of the tag as it would usually, please log on on the 24th, click 'Edit' on your work and alter your publication date in the 'Associations' section as shown below:

Please note that this can't be done in advance, as AO3 will not let you select a posting date in the future—it must be amended on the 24th or later. We'll remind you of this on the day, also.

Hi everyone! We’re now at the half-way point of the fest, so we’ll be dropping all participants a quick message shortly to check in, with a reminder of the submissions deadline 🎄❤️

[tmrhpgiftexchange]

Masterlist

To see all submissions from our lovely participants from previous years that we've reblogged here for archival purposes, use the "entries" tag filter💚❤️

Guidelines/Rules:

The TMRHP Gift Exchange is a gifting event, where participants both give and receive a gift! You sign-up, telling us your preferences, and we use these to match you with both a gifter (the person who will make your gift) and a giftee (the person who will receive a gift from you).

This gift exchange is open to both writers and artists, and as such you could receive either a fic or art as a gift.

This is a NSFW event, so all participants must be over 18. This is checked during the sign up process. If we learn that you have misrepresented your age, you will be barred from this and all future events indefinitely.

No use of generative AI is permitted. Any entries created using generative AI will not be accepted and you will be barred from future events indefinitely.

While the event is NSFW, this does not mean participants are required to request/create smut. It’s more indicative of mature or suggestive themes, so that everyone is on the same page.

This event caters to TMRHP: Top!Tom and Bottom!Harry. If you are a switch shipper, please keep this in mind and create for the TMRHP dynamic only for this event, as that is what your giftee will be expecting. As it’s possible that you’ll be paired with a fixed shipper, we’d ask that you do not refer to or include the reverse dynamic in any way, even in passing reference.

Additionally, Tomarry should be the focus of whatever you create. You may include other characters, or have Tom or Harry be in a relationship with someone else and cheat, for example, but Tomarry should always be the main focus.

The minimum requirement for gifts is: 1000 words for fanfiction and black-and-white line-art for fanart. This is a low-stress event; any effort is appreciated however small or large!

While making your gift/request Christmassy isn’t mandatory, Christmas-themed prompts are very much welcomed and encouraged 🎄 🎁

Please be kind and respectful. This event was created to spread positivity.

Upon receiving your gift at the end of the event, please interact and leave a comment. No matter how long the fic is, or how detailed the art is, or if the gifter followed your prompt closely or only peripherally, please be gracious and kind 🤍

Be sure to have fun ^-^ This is a low stress event; just something to bring people together to create and have a fun explosion of TMRHP NSFW for Christmas! Don’t worry if your gift isn’t perfect, I’m sure the recipients will be pleased regardless!

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send in an ask, which one of our organisers will respond to as quickly as possible!

Set Dates for 2025:

Sign ups will end 30th September

Assignments will be handed out 7th October

There will be a check in around the middle of November, to see how people are going with their gifts - one of the organisers will pop by with a quick DM.

Participants will then “hand in” their assignments between 7th-14th December, submitting their fics and art to the unrevealed event Collection on AO3

The Collection and your creations will then be revealed on the 24th December, and this is when participants can post about their gifts on Twitter and Tumblr.

And that's the end of the event!
