What if Severus Snape remained a loyal Death Eater—and got Lily Evans anyway?
Chapter -49 of my fanfiction "When Darkness Triumphed " is up!đź’š
It's a Dark AU that follows a Severus Snape who has no secret redemption waiting beneath the surface. He embraces the darkness, rises through the ranks of the Death Eaters, and becomes one of Voldemort's most powerful and feared followers.
But power isn't the only thing Severus wants.
He wants Lily Evans.
And when he finally gets her, Lily discovers that marrying the man she once knew as a friend means being trapped with a powerful Death Eater whose obsession with her has turned into something far darker. What begins as a marriage becomes a battle of control, manipulation, and survival—as Severus's influence and power continue to grow.
If you enjoy dark AUs, ruthless, powerful Snape, psychological drama, and morally twisted characters, you might want to give it a try.
