    Summary

    There is something both thrilling and intimate about watching someone when they think no one is around, seeing how they behave in the vacuum of other people’s perception.

    Regulus momentarily sheds his poise when he wrestles with the ancient lock, tote bags precariously balanced on his shoulders and neat curls just beginning to frizz and frazzle in the humidity. He mutters something James is too far away to hear, but it is most certainly a curse.

    It’s oddly endearing.

    Or

    James Potter offers to check on his best friend’s long-missing brother and gets a little too invested.

    Summary

    Regulus bursts into laughter. The sound is lovely. So, so lovely. It sends a pang through James’s chest, and it takes him a few moments to recognize it.

    I’m jealous, James realizes, I’m fucking jealous.

    This is no longer simple attraction. It’s not about how mesmerizing Regulus is on stage or how objectively stunning he looks in tight clothes. That can be chalked up to neglected physical needs, but this… James wants to be the one to make Regulus laugh like that. He wants to share those intimate, conspiratory glances with him.

    James Potter has a crush on Regulus Black.

    A crush like he’s a bloody teenager.

    Or

    James Potter has never seen Regulus Black as anything other than his best friend’s little brother. When Regulus returns to England after five years abroad, that changes.

    Summary

    Regulus knows James Potter. The kind of music he likes, what he does in his free time, every single detail he can absorb.

    James does not know him.

    Sirius has made sure of that, keeping his mentally unwell brother far away from the object of his obsession. Funnily enough, it's James who comes to Regulus. Well-meaning, curious with no idea what he's getting into.

    The lines between love and obsession are blurry and hard to read.

    “No, we’re friends now, remember? I know it hasn’t been long, but I think I’m learning you, aren’t I?”

     

    Are you?

     

    James had Regulus, but he didn’t know him. Regulus knew James but didn’t have him.

     

    “Maybe you could,” was all Regulus could say in response. That was a truth. James could probably learn Regulus inside and out. Regulus would offer that if it didn’t mean breaking down the fixation—the rotting truth behind their growing relationship.

    Summary

    In December 1962, a dark wizard in the early stages of his quest for immortality, heard tell of the ‘Deathly Hallows’. His search for these items led him to the estate of the Potter Family, the last living descendants of the Peverelle brothers.

    He did not find the Hallows. What he did find was a two-year-old boy in the care of an elderly house elf.

    What he did to that boy changed the course of his life forever.

    The use of the cruciatus curse on children under five can have very curious effects.

    (or)

    James Potter has an evil alter ego who will do anything to protect Regulus. But this time, it's a longfic :)
