She had a choice that night. By the time the Dark Lord made it up the stairs, she knew her old life lay dead in his wake. So, if she could make a barter…

"You're scared of my child," she reminded Voldemort.

He narrowed his eyes. They were eerily red, but his face was otherwise handsome.

"Doesn't the magic intrigue you? Take us with you instead." Lily and Harry were a two-for-one deal.

And Tom Riddle took that gambit.

(Lily just never thought saving her life would have her reaping the benefits of ruling the Wizarding world at his side.)

Requested by Guest on FFN. Definitely have never considered this ship before, but this premise intrigues me. If Lily could've been savvy enough and Voldy curious enough, this would've made for quite the story, *LOL*. That is, of course, if he were willing to set aside her lineage the way he set aside his own.

Requests are welcome (see "Requesting FAQs" on my profile before asking), so please review!
