The Last Enemy That Shall Be Defeated Is Death by simply_enamored
Summary: What if, on that fateful October night, it was not Lily's sacrifice that saved Harry, but James' sacrifice that saved them both? What if Lily is left to pick up the broken pieces of her life after its been shattered into a million pieces? Who would be there to rescue her? Who would get her through the night? This is a story of loss, of pain, of hopelessness, and ultimately, of healing.

After much deliberation and input from all you guys who have read thus far, I have officially decided to continue this story. It was initially supposed to be a one-shot, but I've decided I already have too much of my heart invested in it to quit now. :) Second chapter in progress. Thanks, all!

A/N: This chapter was hard for me to write, not because of a lack of direction, but because of the emotional toll. It's not a light chapter, folks, but in my opinion, it's a good one. Thanks for sticking with me thus far.
