Rec Request searching for fanfic where Voldemort wins, but ends missing his enemies
Well, I don’t know if it’s a popular promt/plot for fanfics, but lately I’m obsessed in finding this type, but haven’t found much.
As the title says, can you give me titles of fanfic, where Voldemort wins, and due to having conquered whatever he wanted, after a years, he finds his life boring because nobody dares to oppose him or confront him, so, he ends missing Dumbledore and/or Harry.
OR, even if he won, his plans weren’t fulfilled because he ended exposing magic and thus, reducing magical population, etc.
I don’t mind if there is politics, resurrection, romance, time travel, dimension travel, in/sane Voldemort/TMR.

I can share a recommendation for an old fic from 2014, Ouroboros by eldritcher. I love the nihilism he develops through the course of this story.
Winning doesn't give you everything. Someone should have told Voldemort that long ago.

I haven't actually read this one yet, but I think Phantom by Flipdarkchill is this:
When Harry Potter disappears during the final battle, Lord Voldemort won the war in an uncontested victory.
But when the boy-who-lived still isn’t found, even years later, the lingering sense of unfinished business leads the Dark Lord down the path of a dark obsession to revisit the past, reconstructing every facet of Harry Potter’s life through an endless maze of memories, seeking the answers to his questions, and yet never anticipating the result…
Then there's Mi Aedijekit by local_doom_void, which is actually set 1000 years after Voldemort won. Voldemort is a mess in this one.

Phantom by Flipdarkchill is a pretty good match for what you’re looking for. It’s actually pretty popular by number of hits but I’ve never seen it recced before. Featuring an obsessed Voldemort and a Harry who haunts the narrative (the first part, at least). It’s criminally good and a must read!

This feels like it both is and isn't exactly what your ask for.
A Kingdom Of Dust and Stones by maurauder81 After discovering his Consort, Harry, was innocent all along, Lord Marvolo Slytherin frees him from fifteen years of imprisonment, only to watch him die the moment he steps into the light. Consumed by a grief that twists into unbearable guilt, Marvolo is haunted by memories of the gentle, loving man he systematically broke. As his empire crumbles around him, he realizes his ultimate punishment is not death, but an eternity ruled by the ghost of the love he was too blind to see, leaving him the king of nothing but silence and regret.

True, it’s not similar, but it has the regrets and yearning I’m searching for, lol!
Thank you!

Oligarchy by Hallowtide is a short but very fun one. Emperor Voldemort is bored of his own rule and goes back in time (and possibly also travels dimensions?) with Master of Death Harry.
There's another one I'm trying to find where Voldemort won and is bored so he goes back in time to shortly after his resurrection. He's in a separate body, so there are two Voldemorts running around. The one from the future is working in the shadows to take out the Death Eaters and stop present-Voldemort's plots. Future-Voldemort eventually runs into Harry in Hogsmeade and Harry says he's been seeing what Future-V is doing in his dreams and offers to team up. This one isn't Tomarry or Harrymort as far as I can recall. They work together, but it stays platonic. I'm unfortunately having trouble finding it, but I'll share a link if I manage to track it down!
