Introduction!

Hello - this is WhisperedSecretsss speaking...

I'm an A03 writer under the same name and, though I mainly only write within the Harry Potter fandom, my interests within the fan-fiction realm are varied.

In all honesty I'm not the most active on social media (im an old lady in spirit) but if you'd like to leave any questions, comments, thoughts, etc. regarding my stories/ art this is the place to do so! (Just click on "Owl Me a Letter")

Stay inspired

[whispered-secretsss]

Dead Men Tell No Tales

Working on the next chapter of SPC but in the meantime a fic bunny hopped its way into my head and I need to get it out.

Potential Tags: Pirates of the Caribbean Inspired AU, Creature Fic (for Voldemort), Trans Harry Potter, Necromancer Harry Potter

Short Summary:

There's a legend told amongst the waves about a Pirate King who broke his soul into 7 different treasures - each one hidden somewhere not even maps can find. Some say he was cursed by a witch - others say the man sold his soul to Davy Jones in return for immortality. Whether the legend hold any truth to it or not, in any case, over the past century Lord Voldemort has been a scourge across the high seas for pirates and common folk alike.

Longer Summary:

Voldemort has siren blood running through his veins (curtesy of Merope) and can use his voice to command people to do things (so basically the Imperius curse).

Before he became a "King" in present day timeline, (i.e in his Tom Riddle era) V went to a fortune teller / soothsayer who told him that a child would be his undoing. When asked what kind of child she only responded that they would be born as the sun sets on the horizon of the seventh month - a green flash marking their birth. yadda yadda.

Afterwards V learns about Longbottom / Harry being born and, being the smart man he is (sarcasm), decides to kill them both.

Harry’s parents are killed as in canon but Sirius manages to escape with Harry and raises him as his own until Harry is about 15 years old. (The Longbottom's escaped into hiding after hearing what happened to the Potters but Neville becomes much more relevant later on when his and Harry's paths cross.)

Sirius and Harry are traveling aboard a ship (of some sort IDK) and they encounter Voldemort's crew. This is Harry's first encounter with Voldemort and also where he earns his scar. Unfortunately Sirius is killed by Bellatrix (sorry dude) during this encounter as is most the crew. The only survivor of this incident is Harry (even in Pirate verse he can't escape being the boy who lived).

After barely escaping, Harry joins the British King’s Privateer army like his father did and vows revenge (though he lies and says he's 18 rather than 15.)

Cue three years later Harry gets (dis)honorably discharged when he's forcibly outed. Although he's sentenced to serve jailtime - this too he manages to escape and after that is forced to travel on his own as a wanted fugitive. Given the rest of the legend about Voldemort says that the person to reunite all seven pieces of his soul gets one wish - shenanigans ensue from there as Harry decides to hunt the horcruxes down.

Other Notes:

Tonks is pirate queen who mans a ship known as Morpheus. Harry eventually ends up under her care at some point in the story.

Hermione is an astronomer and branded a witch (yeah this is a total rip off of the 4th Pirates of the Caribbean movie sorry not sorry) who helps Harry as they search for the Horcruxes. (Ron is also here but no idea what his backstory would be as of yet).

The East India Trading Company plays a part (in it's exploitative practices and furthering of British Imperialism) though more research is needed since I don't know much about it.

More Voldemort! I don’t think I’ve ever drawn so much of him

I love how Tom Riddle turned out.. like.. what a punchable face! He’s the most beautiful person ever but you freaking hate him, you know? It’s perfect!

At one point I want to draw a progression of Harry’s scar, I have a very cool idea for it

[whispered-secretsss]

oh god i started reading Game of Thrones about a week or so ago and now i have found myself with a new fixation

Chapter 5 Summary: Harry comes close to dying (of boredom) and we find out magic - apparently - smells.

[lumhos]

i dont know if this is controversial but when i read tomarry (time travel) fics, i don’t like it when tom is described as muscular or distinctly built

in my mind, the whole reason why tom never got along with the other kids at wools was because he was unathletic and bookish (and magical). i dont see why that would change during his time at hogwarts

tom is very skilled at magic, so much that he never really needs to work out for any muscle. hes lean and tall and thats it. his smarts, deathly glare, sharp tongue, and cutthroat nature does enough to intimidate.

on the other hand, i dont like when harry is described as this flowery little guy thats all curves and soft lines.

yeah sure seekers need that “small, slim” build or whatever, but harry is physically active. i mean, its mostly in his running for his life from his cousin and his friends (and later running for his life in general). if anything, he must have some strong legs

harry is, in my hc, shorter than the other guys in his year but stronger than half. he is magically strong but he cant exactly fight back with magic ALL the time. his height diminishes all the intimidation possible from his glower and sassy streak.

all im proposing is string bean tall tom x short strong harry

[whispered-secretsss]

Elegant tall but waifish Tom Riddle you will forever live in my heart ❤️

A snippet from a chapter that won’t happen for a while but I was in my Arcane feels tonight so here :,,)

“…Unlike Riddle, Harry wouldn’t try to delude himself into thinking he understood the hidden mechanics of something as complicated as magic. But maybe there was a reason he had felt so compelled to go after Hufflepuff’s cup - Voldemort’s Horcrux - even in the face of certain capture. Maybe there was a reason why Fortune’s Wheel had spat him out in the throes of 1944. Maybe, just maybe, out of all the different possibilities that could have happened, magic had a reason for Harry Potter's existence here at this moment in time.”

[anxiouspineapples]

yeah I will never be over that part in deathly hallows when harry visits godric’s hollow and thinks about what it would have been like to grow up there with his parents and by the time he gets to their grave he feels so much grief and despair that not only do we get a rare on-the-page cry but he wishes he was sleeping under the snow with them

[perhaps-sunlight]

For the WIP game, I love Hufflepuff Harry so I'm super curious what your WBWL story is about!

Hello, thanks for your interest!

The story stems from the fact that, when I returned to the Harry Potter fandom during the pandemic, Wrong Boy Who Lived stories where Harry was abused by his family and went into politics were very popular. However, I wanted to write my own version where Harry was in reality loved and happy, but everyone else was still convinced that he was abused, unhappy, and about to lead some revolution.

As you can imagine, the story is very cracky. I'm afraid I don't have any snippets to share at the moment, since I haven't looked at the story in a while, but I hope to get back into it and maybe share a sneak peek down the line.

~The Darkest of all~

.

What if Quirrell didn't find Voldemort in Albanian woods? What if no one found him and he had to get his power back only by himself? I imagine he used the most dark and sinister magic he know to have his body back. But it wasn't usual, human body...

[whispered-secretsss]

Eldritchian Voldemort and Harry have a special place in my heart
