Summary
Much can be said about Tom Riddle’s unfortunate beginnings—namely, that none of it was ever under his control. To survive the dull days at Borgin & Burkes, he convinces himself that any greatness he achieves must be credited to him alone, even if it costs a few short years off his eternal life.
Until a summons arrives, and with it the disruption of his carefully measured stagnation: Harry Peverell, whose recklessness and wealth seem calculated to unsettle the order Riddle has imposed on himself, and whose lure he cannot ignore.

Summary
Tom Sr. took care of Tom instead of leaving. In this case, Merope stopped giving Tom Sr the potion just after she gave birth. Same as is, she died after birth but this time, it was an untreated Dragon Pox. Tom Sr snapped back to reality and boom, he was stuck with a child, the unfortunate result of his trauma. The only reason why he didn’t give it up because it looked so much like him. He went to explain his situation with his family, thinking he was getting justice and support, but his parents kicked him out for the sake of the Riddle reputation and since Tom Sr’s reputation had already been damaged from a year of being influenced by Merope, he had no connections left to rely on. Now Tom Sr and Baby Tom lived in a small cottage. Tom Sr is working as a Mechanic to make a living for the baby while trying to be a father aswell but it’s a struggling battle for Tom Sr since this was a rape baby. Tom jr will also be heavily affected by this, meaning his personality stays as is in the canon.. Or does it?

Summary
It's 1950. Five years into his job at Borgin and Burkes, not much breaks the monotony of Tom’s days aside from a few murders of opportunity here and there. Which is why Tom is immediately intrigued when he wakes up and discovers a mysterious tattoo—shaped in the form of stag antlers—inked into his lower stomach.
There is a pattern of dark ink along Tom’s navel, starting at the crease of his hips and extending up to his lower ribs. It’s a curious kind of twisting, branching pattern, almost like the bare branches of a tree in winter.
Stag antlers, Tom realizes after studying the pattern for a moment more from his upside-down perspective. From the Cervus elaphus species of deer, the largest land mammal in Britain. Crushed into a fine powder, it is often used as a key ingredient in various regenerative draughts and potions that rely on the property of luck.
The artistry is immaculate: every line clean and even, each stroke sharp and precise.
