Description:

History says Voldemort rose alone.
History is wrong.

Let me fill in the gaps of canon with the parts Tom Riddle’s life that happened in the shadows of canon: alliances, mentors, magic, war and love that does not save him, only makes him unstoppable.
What grows out of that is not mercy — it is an empire. Voldemort was never going to be a saviour. He was going to be a force.

See the world through the eyes of a man who does not try to be good, only effective — and succeeds. A man, yes. Because with nose or without, with his soul in one piece or many, Tom Riddle was still a boy who became a man. Even if he chose to become a god after all.

Notes:

It's not crack, but it does get funny in places because, believe it or not, the Dark Lord has a sense of humour — albeit a dark one.
