I've got a bit of a twisted addition to Jake Grey's idea, have the cross erected upside down. It increases the agony and has some other symbolic aspects.

*stops laughing long enough to type a suggestion of his own*

Lord Voldemort sat in a darkened interior room of the former Riddle family home, listening despondently as his thirty remaining followers sporadically fired curses and fought to shore up the wards against the onslaught. Spells from the wizards, Molotov Cocktails, stones and even firearms from the squibs and magic-aware muggles cascaded back at the crumbling old manor house, in defiance of a token effort by the Aurors to hold back the baying mob from burning down the building and killing everyone inside.
The Power The Dark Lord Knows Not turns out to be public relations, Voldemort growled silently, wincing as some sort of improvised bomb crashed through an upstairs window and detonated, sending several roofing nails through the ceiling and narrowly missing him.
A distinct magical vibration and a savage roar from the mob informed him that the wards had been defeated. Voldemort briefly debated retreat, but discarded the notion. A lifetime on the run, reviled by all yet regarded as little more than a loose end, forever tasting the bitter bile of defeat... Better death than that.
Voldemort stood, and drew his wand. "Victory may be yours, Potter," he spat, "but in Slytherin's name, I shall make it a bloody one... Death Eaters!" he bellowed. "To me!"

Despite themselves, many of the mob were privately quite impressed at the courage with which the Death Eaters charged headlong, firing curses as they ran and inflicting many casualties before being overwhelmed. Voldemort was the last to fall, finally toppling under a barrage of curses from a small picked band of wizards led by Harry Potter himself.

Voldemort jerked back to consciousness as a bucket of water hit him in the face, and looked from the baying crowds to his prophesied nemesis, and scowled. "Not very Gryffindor of you to be here to gloat, Potter," he snarled.
"Maybe," Harry replied, smiling in a way that even Voldemort found disturbing, "but I wouldn't miss this for the world. Look behind you, Tom."
Voldemort hissed at the use of his despised muggle name, but turned anyway, and inhaled sharply.
Even a pureblood would have immediately understood the purpose of the large wooden cross, and even the symbolism attached to it. Voldemort supposed that he ought to take it as a twisted sort of compliment.

Needless to say, this was of minimal comfort in the last eighteen hours of his life.

For the resurrection ritual Voldy modified a vampire ritual to resurrect powerfull vampires like dracula. What he didn't know that through this his body had a few vampire attributes like a allergy against sunlight. He found out about this problem the next sunrise.

Voldemort was sitting in front of a computer. SOmething was written, Virus activated. Press DELeTE in order to stop it. He searched the keyboard.
When he found it, he smiled and pressed it
Nobody knew where voldemort went

NOTE: My last suggestion was occassioned by a real world experience some 35 years ago where someone (no, not me) managed to put a print statement in an infinite do-loop. 'Twas the first, and only, time I've very seen and heard a mainframe printer shift into overdrive.

The last two bunnies mentioned are from "Robocop" (OCP) and "Sweeny Tood, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" (q.v.)

Hmm, just a thought, Harry lets slip taht in the depths of the Black vault, he found a potion or ritual that allows him to apparently become invisible. Snape brews it for Tom and, only after he takes it does Tom find out -why- it makes you invisible, it's a shrinking charm inset in the magical equivalent of an "infinite do loop" and he keeps shrinking forever.

I've got a bunny idea.

"Hogwarts will soon be mine!" Lord Voldemort cried as the portkey dropped him, and his army of Death Eaters inside the wards of Hogwarts castle. "And I will mount the heads of Potter and the old fool over my throne!"
"Halt." A loud, deep voice commanded. "You are trespassing on private property. One have twenty seconds to leave the premises."
Voldemort turned to the sound of the voice and saw a tall metal statue with reverse articulated legs and a large, wide, stubby two fingered arms and a large, grotesquely rounded head stationed near the main doors to the castle.
"You dare command me!" Voldemort shrieked with rage.
"You have fifteen seconds to comply." The statue said in reply.
Voldemort snapped up his wand and shouted. "Avada Kedavra!
The killing curse splashed harmlessly against the statues head. "Hostile actions detected." The statue growled menacingly "Lethal force no authorized."
Bright flashes of yellow-orange light leapt from the fingers of the arms, accompanied by deafening peals of thunder.

Harry smiled as he heard screams and gunfire drifted up from the ground floor to the balcony he was on and turned to Susan. "You were right, hiring OCP for security was a good idea."

Crys replied:

Don't recognize the reference, I'm afraid.

While he was in London, young Tom Riddle rubbed his chin. "Hmmm. I think I need a shave."

He noticed a barber shop, and went on in---off of Fleet Street.

Sweeney Todd smiled. "You're next, young man! I'll polish you off in a jiffy!"

Crys replied:

That has to be a reference to something, but I don't recognize it.

Woohoo! Another update! I always love finding more squished Riddles...

Anyway, allow me to bunny, as I'm way too tired right now to scene. There's two little puzzle boxes that I'm sure Voldemort would love to find due to their purported dark mystical origins. One is Wu Xia's prison, but I seem to recall you're not much for cartoons (well, anime, anyway, as my Naruto-themed bunnies' responses would indicate), so I'm not sure you'd want to use that one. But that's all right because the Lament Configuration is so much cooler. So, basically it's two bunnies in one: crossover with "Xiaolin Showdown," and crossover with "Hellraiser."

And I just remembered Ruskbyte's fic as I finished writing this... Well, it's a bit different if Voldy opens it himself, isn't it? And I didn't steal the idea consciously (not that it matters much seeing as I'm nearly unconscious at this point anyway).

Crys replied:

Never saw Hellraiser, so not going to use the idea.   I was going to point you at Ruskbyte's story if you hadn't brought it up yourself.

For anyone else reading this: Evil Be Thou My Good.   Fair warning, this is a very dark short story.

Glad you're enjoying  these, Tildessmoo,   and that you're still sending ideas in!

Excellent!
All of these demises were great, although one was a trifle melancholy!
Keep up the great work people.

*chuckle* Some nice ones there. #251 makes me wonder what would happen if a dementor came across a horcrux? Would it be able to refine/extract the soul fragment out of it?

I have to wonder what happens in the case of Voldemort vs. Predator or Voldemort vs. Alien? I rather expect either could be an "educational" experience for Tom, especially since he's got the usual wizard's parochial view of things. One other thought, what would happen if Voldemort invaded Harry's mind during Occlumency training just as Snape broke through into Harry's mind? Would Tom's mind dump into Severus, taking them both out? The "power he knows not" in this case being the ability to connect them up without getting hurt.

Crys replied:

Dementor finding a horcrux was Killer07's original suggestion.   I modified it to a dementor finding a free-floating Voldy.   The "sentient" part.   Just emptying a horcrux wouldn't kill Voldy, after all.

Voldy vs Predator is scene . . . 96.

I like that Snape - Harry - Voldy Occlumency bridge idea.   I'm going to save that one for the next round.

Glad you're enjoying!

Edit: Bunny used as promised.   Thanks.

I liked 252 and 258 the best. I dunno, maybe I like it better if neither really wins. Either way, here's a little bunny idea of my own.

Darth Voldemort and apprentice Darth Voldenuit (guess who's who) and factor in typical Sith ascension.

I've said 'nuff, for everything else there's Duff. Duff, the beer fat guys drink.

I don't really understand the chapter title. There are only ten deaths... not 49.

Crys replied:

As I've said at the beginning of the past few chapters, I add scenes to these chapters as ideas are sent to me or occur to me.   Once a chapter is at 50, I start the next chapter.

Amusing...
I loved the mail bomb, the trick stair and the Necronomicron drabbles.

Just a quick question the chapter says 251 to 300 drabbles... so where's #263 to #300?

I take issue with number 256: "Due to his ignorance of all things muggle, Voldemort didn't realize [...] the propeller wasn't there."
Voldemort spent 11 years in a Muggle orphanage somewhere around the 1930s, the "golden era" of aviation. It is almost certain that he knew about propellers.

Crys replied:

Probably true.   There are many of these scenes that wouldn't work for one reason or another.

I'm writing humor / parody here, though.   I'm stretching and exagerating truth for humor.
