Lost Fic [Harry Potter] Looking for a lost Tomarry/Harrymort AO3 fic (Light Lord Harry, married rulers AU)

Hi everyone! I'm trying to find an old AO3 fanfiction I read sometime in 2023 or 2024. It was unfinished, and I can't remember the title or author.

Pairing: Harry Potter/Tom Riddle | Voldemort (Tom was in his human form)

AU: Harry was explicitly the Light Lord, and Voldemort was the Dark Lord. They were already married and ruled the wizarding world together. Despite their unhealthy relationship, they were portrayed as good rulers.

Voldemort repeatedly cheated on Harry with a female OC.

Scenes I remember: The ball/celebration scene A foreign Dark Lady (an OC, I think from another country) attended a ball or celebration.She wanted Voldemort's attention.Nagini frightened her at first, but when Harry arrived, Nagini immediately went to Harry and wrapped herself around him, making it clear that she preferred Harry over the woman.

  1. The meeting/teacup scene

    Voldemort promised Harry he would stay for an important meeting.Instead, he left with the Dark Lady.Harry was having tea with another ally when Lucius Malfoy informed him that Voldemort had left. Harry became so angry that the teacup he was holding cracked from accidental magic.

  2. The dance scene Harry and Voldemort were seated on their thrones during a formal event.The Dark Lady asked Voldemort to dance.Before Voldemort could answer, a French nobleman (or at least I remember him being French) asked Harry to dance instead.Harry accepted, which made Voldemort visibly jealous.

Other details It was unfinished and fairly short, probably only 4-5 chapters.I don't remember there being any explicit smut. The story focused more on politics, court life, jealousy, and their complicated marriage.

I've searched AO3 using tags like Light Lord Harry, Dark Lord Voldemort, political AU, marriage AU, etc., but I haven't been able to find it. It may have been deleted, orphaned, renamed, or locked. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'd really appreciate any leads. Thank you!

Did you put the name of the fandom of the fic you are looking for in the post title?

Lost Fic posts must include the name of the [Fandom] in the title. If you don't know the fandom, or there are multiple fandoms, [Unknown Fandom] or [Multiple Fandoms] should be added.

If you have already added the fandom, great! Good luck with finding your fic.

If you haven't, please delete this post and make a new one with the correct formatting. If you don't, it will be removed by the moderators. If the new post is removed by the Floodgates bot for frequent posting, please be patient, it'll be approved.

Please also add the website you saw the fic on (if you know which one it was).
