One possibility could be that in this fanfiction, James Potter's fall to the dark side as a Death Eater creates a complex and tragic dynamic with Lily, the Auror. Maybe there are intense battles between them where their past relationship adds an extra layer of emotion. It could explore how their different paths change their views of each other and the wizarding world.
Well, perhaps in the fanfiction, James joins the Death Eaters because he is seeking power or has been misled. Lily is then faced with the difficult task of having to potentially fight the man she once loved. Their story could be a journey of redemption for James or a story of Lily having to make a hard choice between love and her duty.
One possible fanfiction could focus on the moments leading up to their death. It might show James trying to protect Lily and Harry until the very last moment. He could be shown using his wand to fend off Voldemort as long as he could, while Lily was huddled in a corner with baby Harry, praying for a miracle.
Yes, there are likely some. While the concept of James Potter as a Death Eater is a very different take on the character from the original canon, some fanfic writers may explore this idea in a way that doesn't involve inappropriate content. You can search on fanfic platforms and look for tags like 'family - friendly' or 'PG - rated' along with 'James Potter Death Eater' to find such works.
There's a fanfic I've heard of called 'James Potter's Dark Path'. In this story, the author might take a different approach to James' character development. Maybe he was seduced by the power that the Death Eaters seemed to offer. It could also show how the other characters in the wizarding world react to this new, dark James Potter. They might initially not believe it or be in denial.
Well, if James is a Death Eater in fanfiction, it completely alters the dynamic at Hogwarts. James would no longer be part of the group fighting against Voldemort. This would mean that many of the events that happened because of the Marauders' resistance to the Death Eaters wouldn't occur. For instance, the creation of the Marauder's Map might not have been for good reasons. And Lily's relationship with James would be much more complex. Maybe she was initially trying to save him from the dark side, but failed.
One interesting interpretation could be exploring the moment from the perspective of their friends. For example, Sirius Black might have been filled with rage and a sense of helplessness. He was their closest friend, and suddenly they were gone. He would have felt guilty for not being there to protect them, which could be a great source of emotional depth in a fanfiction.
Some fanfictions might depict their deaths very realistically, following the canon as closely as possible. This means showing Voldemort's arrival, his demand for Harry, and the unwavering love of Lily that led to her sacrifice.
Well, in some 'James Potter Death Eater' fanfics, a really interesting plot point is how it affects the wizarding world as a whole. Since James was originally a key figure against the Dark Arts, his turn to the Death Eaters could change the power dynamics completely. There might be a plot where he has to face his own son, Harry, in a very different way than in the original story. Also, the fanfic might explore how his time as a Death Eater changes his personality, from a once - brave and carefree young wizard to a more conflicted and dark character.
One great Hermione, James Potter and Lily Potter fanfiction is 'The Unlikely Trio'. It explores a unique alternate universe where Hermione time - travels and gets involved in the lives of James and Lily. The story is full of interesting character interactions and a well - crafted plot that keeps you hooked from start to finish.
