Summary: It happened mostly at night, when John gave up staring sleeplessly at the ceiling turning his latest cases over and over in his mind until he gave up on sleep and let the memories of old ones take over. He had thought of looking the kid up a couple of times in those wakeful, ill-advised wee hours, but something always stopped him.

Rating/Category: PG13/Het
Genre: romance, drama, fork in the road au
Word Count: 16,000

Summary: Pre-canon, fork in the road AU. "I will assume the risk," Riario said boldly….. and, with sudden inspiration that he would later wonder at, "Give me Lucrezia to be my wife."
When Alessandro threatens Francesco's daughters in order to take his place, Riario's desire to protect his cousins leads him to make a desperate bargain. He will wed Lucrezia and raise Amelia as if she were his own child.
Lucrezia's initial hatred of Riario begins to wane as he tries to prove his affection for her, and her companionship and compassion affect him in a positive way. The path to love and redemption however does not run smooth.
