Summary
If James didn't do this, every awful thing he'd done to get into this room would have been for nothing.
This was the thought that moved his wand from his sleeve to his hand. Something inside of him was slowly turning to stone. Everyone always told him he was golden—did he have a Midas touch, a curse that turned everything he touched into things, immovable and dead, inanimate...?
———
On a cold day in October, Regulus Black asks James Potter to help him kill the Dark Lord.
James is swept up in machinations beyond his comprehension, and before his eighteenth birthday he has a Dark Mark on his arm and an innocent death on his conscience.
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. -

Summary
Regulus Black remembers dying with vivid clarity. The hands of a thousand dead men pulled him down to the bottom of a miserable cave and tore him apart.
Eight years later he wakes up again.
James Potter resurrected him.
James made a deal with the Devil. It was a bad deal.
Regulus is back in one piece, but ravenous for flesh and blood.
OR:
Regulus died in the cave… and when he came back, he came back wrong. -

Summary
Sometimes James felt like picking a direction and walking until his legs gave out, then getting up the next day to keep walking, and never turning around.

Summary
"You were sick, and you were dying, so I looked for a solution. I found one. It came with a steep price." Sirius studied their dead mother's doll-like stare, and traced the shape of her nose with a careful, precise fingertip. He moved with the fluidity of water. "We're both vampires. We'll both be vampires until our true deaths, whenever they come. We have to drink human blood, or the thirst comes. It can't kill us, the thirst, but it can make us suffer."
"What can kill us?" Regulus asked, watching Sirius take a lock of their mother's black hair in his hand very gently, tie it in a little knot, then rip it from her scalp in one brutal movement. He tucked her hair in his pocket.
"Sunlight."
———
Regulus is a bored, sullen vampire.
James is in the wrong place at the wrong time. -

Summary
He was seeing ghosts. In the years of solitude he’d gone mad. There was no explanation for her presence here that was not madness. She died in his arms. He knew she was dead, he felt it, he watched her die, he watched it, and even if he had not seen her last breath leave her, centuries had passed since he had been made, she would be nothing but bones or ashes now, even if she had lived.
And yet, she stood before him, as if the centuries he’d spent wandering alone were nothing more than a horrible dream.
-
In the modern day, after centuries alone, Elizabeth finds him again.

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 :)

Summary
“What have you done?”
James is unable to pull his gaze away from the blood dripping from the hem of Regulus’ shirt and fingertips, rapidly pooling on the antique rug beneath him. Regulus’ eyes sparkle with manic delight but suddenly widen with confusion.
“You don’t understand. I did this for us, James. It was always supposed to be just us.”
