Multichapter, 52K words - Graphic Depictions of Violence; Regulus Black / James Potter, Regulus Black & Tom Riddle
It feels like a false face. A veneer. A sheet covering up junk in the corner. There’s rot here. Regulus can feel it in his teeth, prickling the back of his neck, as he stares at this facade of cheer, of home-away-from-homeliness. If he looks enough, the warmth shifts, changes, alters, and he’s not staring at a cheery, grand inn.
He’s seeing broken windows and rotted panes, moss and mold inching across black stone, cracked chimneys stained with soot and ash. Dead and burnt trees. No soft winds and the soft patter of snowflakes, but the cawing of crows, the rattle of dying breaths. There are ghosts in every window, blackened energies wrapped around the ruins in twisted, slippery tendrils that curl and arch and turn slowly, slowly, to where Regulus stands on a sooty, blackened slab of cracked concrete before a rotted door.
There’s something wrong. This is a bad place. A very Bad Place.

THIS WORLD IS NOT MADE FOR YOU (E)
Multichapter, 27K words - Graphic Depictions of Violence, Major Character Death; Regulus Black/James Potter, Sirius Black & James Potter, Regulus Black & Tom Riddle
In his brother's absence, Regulus immersed himself in the words and worlds of Stephen King, transfixed by the monsters the man could create.
It was a twist of cruel fate, then, that Regulus found himself in his very own, King-esque horror story: the first victim of Little Hangleton's ruthless serial killer, his body reanimated, blood-bound and forced to bend to Tom Riddle's will.

UNDER THE NIGHT SKY (T)
One shot - Major Character Death; Regulus Black & Sirius Black
"Do you remember when we were younger, after you were Sorted? We were lying on the roof, and we could see your star, but mine wasn’t visible. I cried about it, so you told me, “It doesn’t matter if we can see it or not, our stars are always together in the night sky.”

Dia de los Muertos, a holiday meant to reunite the living and the dead, in love and celebration. Sometimes, for closure, too.
