A Pensive Parent

Prompt: An adult Tom Riddle looking lovingly at newborn Harry Potter as he holds him while sitting in an armchair next to a lit fireplace. hyperrealistic, hyperdetailed, volumetric lighting, 3D shading, portrait, gothic architecture, vibrant, 64 megapixels, 8K resolution, Unreal Engine 5, photorealistic, fantasy, ambient occlusion, hyperrealism

This, admittedly, is self-indulgent on my part 😄.

A few years ago, I wrote fanfiction about Tom being Harry's biological father with an original character of mine as his wife. This led to me exploring Tom as a character more as well as the possible relationship he might have had with baby Harry if they were father and son.

I think Tom would be an incredibly protective yet loving parent if given the chance. Especially, if he had a supportive and understanding partner to help balance his rather extreme tendencies.

What do you guys think??
