oh, this was just fantastic and heartbreaking. You wrote a beautiful Regulus! I love the little details in this-Remus' lighter-colored eye, the fact that Regulus was almost in Ravenclaw, the pictures he draws of Sirius. I just loved everything about this, that the whole thing was a series of pictures of Regulus's life, if you will.

I can't decide which piece of this is my favorite. I love the conversation with Severus, and the ending too, and I really just loved this little segment:

There’s a problem with Regulus’ stupid, stupid, heartbeat. The way it quickens and jumps every second note it shouldn’t, when Regulus is not meant to fall in love and when he has more important things that should be on his mind.

He can school his face impassive, imposing and Black, but there’s a problem with his stupid, stupid heart.

Thank you SO much for this! ♥

I'm so glad you liked this! I've never written Regulus before, due to the fact he's pretty much my favourite character. So, he's someone I have these huge ideas about and then when I go to write them, I get terribly worried that he's nothing like I originally imagined. SO, really, thank-you so bloody much, both for your comments a giving me a chance to write him :D

I love what you did with this pairing. Your portrayal of Regulus is wonderful and really believable. I also think that he matches Remus very well in here. The almost... sober concept of the fic is something I really like; delivering so much emotion by staying somehow distanced.

Last sentence. Woah. Loved it.
