Rating/Warnings: R, language, non-explicit m/m sexual content, violence, adult themes. This story is canon-compliant which means: [character deaths galore.]
Beta Readers: I've been blessed with multiple betas in this story's development.
militantstemmed helped tame the first draft,
msninacat fact-checked and deepened the second draft, and
iawenbemerry provided that final polish. Thanks to everyone who provided cheerleading or individual scene reactions along the way.
Author Notes: All story events are canon-compliant and within the range of established timelines. I placed Regulus one school year behind Severus, so some events are flexed further than typically seen in fandom, but are still within the range of canon facts.
And lastly, I'm American. I avoid slang as much as possible, but my diction and sentence construction remain American.
Disclaimer: JKR owns all things Harry Potter. I'm merely blessed to play in her creation.
