Tomarry

Tomarry is the slash ship between Harry Potter and Tom Riddle from the Harry Potter fandom.

Canon
Ever since the day Voldemort tried to kill Harry Potter whilet he was a baby, but failed, the two have been mortal enemies. Voldemort tried to kill Harry again on multiple occasions throughout Harry's Hogwarts education. Ultimately, Harry defeated Voldemort at the Battle of Hogwarts in his seventh year.

Harry came across Voldemort quite a lot, but in his second year at Hogwarts, he interacted with what was at least a memory of the younger Voldemort, who is most commonly referred to as Tom Riddle instead of Voldemort, despite being the same person. Harry wrote to Tom briefly in his diary, and then later saw him in the Chamber of Secrets. After Harry's encounter with Tom, however, he destroyed the diary horcrux that the memory of Tom was kept in.

Harry had a piece of Voldemort's soul inside of him for about sixteen years, after Voldemort failed to kill Harry. This was removed after Harry died, although he then came back to life. No longer a horcrux of Voldemort, Harry was able to kill him. This soul piece allowed Harry to speak parseltongue, and created a telepathic link between him and Voldemort. They were also connected in other ways, such as with their wands. Since that both of their wands had a core from the same phoenix.

Fanon
While Tomarry is a fairly common ship and there is a lot of content for it. However, the ship also gets a lot of hate in the fandom, mostly because of the two characters being archenemies. Shippers tend to create AUs where Tom never becomes Voldemort and the two become friends. Tom is also generally depicted as very possessive of Harry, whether they be friends or partners.

People usually ship them because of the similarities the two share.

The name Tomarry typically refers to the pairing involving teenage Tom Riddle, and Harrymort is used to refer to the pairing involving Lord Voldemort during the events of the series. The name Tomarrymort is also used as a combination of the two ship names. However, this term is less common than either of the other two, but still fairly common.
