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 is a bored, sullen vampire.
James is in the wrong place at the wrong time.-
"You were sick, and you were dying, so I looked for a solution. I found one. It came with a steep price." He 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."

Summary
"What the fuck do you want from me, Regulus?" Perfect eyes, perfect teeth, perfect lips—chapped from kissing. He wanted to sink his teeth into his tongue and rip it out of his mouth, still twitching. He wanted to knock every perfect tooth out of his head.
"I want you to love me." Regulus blinked up at him innocently, and James glared like he wanted to slam him into the wall again. Do it, he thought, give me another bruise, leave a bite mark on my throat in the shape of your mouth, like the shape of your name.
"No, you don't."

Summary
If a man cheats for you, what’s to stop him from cheating on you?
__
Regulus hummed in response, his eyes searching James’ with sharp intent. “…Love isn’t the word I’d use.”
“Then what? Antipathy?” James asked, his lip curling in distaste.
“No. Hunger, need, want, desire, lust, greed, devotion.”
James swallowed. “Isn’t devotion a synonym for love?”
“I don’t know, I’m not a fucking thesaurus.”
That was a lie. Regulus did know.
