Summary
Philza struggled to keep standing straight, dizzy from blood loss, a white-knuckle grip on his sword.
“I have heard much of you, emperor Philza, and I have respect for you. Therefore, I’ll offer you a deal. You will surrender. You will kneel before me, right here, right now, and beg for mercy. Then I’ll take you to the Nether with me, and you’ll become my prisoner, slave, and personal servant. Or-”
The Blood God raised his netherite blade, pointing the tip straight at Philza’s heart.
“-I will allow you to die with a sword in your hand, and once you’re dead, I will slaughter your children.”
Philza fell to his knees without hesitation.
~~~
Philza had been prepared for a lot of things when he was taken as a war prize: the loss of his basic freedom, the heartbreak of being separated from his sons, the indignity of being reduced into the piglin king’s “pet”.
What he hadn’t been expecting was for the man behind the blood-stained mask to be soft-spoken, or good-natured, or tired from the weight of his crown.
Or lonely.

Summary
Voldemort spared Lily and James the night he attacked the Potters and was defeated by one of the twins. Dumbledore rules Daniel, Harry's younger brother, the one to defeat the Dark Lord. The boys grow up thick as thieves and both parents do their best to keep their childhood normal and paparazzi free.
Still, even the best parenting can't stop someone from turning bad. As the years go by, Harry finds himself becoming more and more estranged from his family and embracing the temptation of the dark. But still, Daniel can't seem to let his brother go, no matter how evil he's turning out to be.
Will it be enough to save Harry in the end or will he go fully dark? Or perhaps things aren't as they seem and adults should learn to put more faith in the words of children. After all, this is a story about love and the lengths one goes to for it.
