When two flowers meet. In two parts. (In which Lily is a fairy with tiger lilies for wings.) Fairytale AU.
Albus Dumbledore loved too much. Because he loved, he hurt, and so he resigned himself to being loveless. Yet still he loved, and it would be his ruin. A scattering of scenes that encompass Tom's return from a decade travelling abroad to Albus's death and the aftermath that followed.
What if Tom Riddle had a taste of love? Set in Tom's fifth year at Hogwarts.
