I should have mentioned in this disclaimer-- Phineas' song is actually a slightly rewording of a traditional Scottish nursery rhyme. The original version goes:
There was an ewe had three lambs And one of them was black There was a man had three sons, Jeffrey, James, and Jack The one was hanged, the other drowned The third was lost and never found.
I read it somewhere and thought, after the last line, ohdeargodsirius!
Have I mentioned I love your characterisation of Reg? He's wonderful.
Considering how little we know about him, that means a lot to me. Thank you. ^__^
and crunchy
Crunchy? Mmm, yeah, I suspect there will be some bone-crunching when Remus brings his wand down.
I love R/Hr, too. It's my second OTP. I wish I wrote about it, more.
*Squeaks* I love. Actually, I remember being really affected by the idea of Reg sending the Crups after Sirius while reading the fic you originally wrote it in (a MC, I think?), so Bird makes me extra squeeful.
Because for the first time in thirteen years he’d been in a position to get back a little of his own from Sirius.
I love your Reg. By nature, he's weaker than Sirius, and to have a spirit weaker than Sirius' in a family like that of the Blacks means to become as he is: confused, malleable, innately sweet but destroyed, and repressed. You conveyed that so well. I love that he automatically assumed Remus was trying to get into his pants. Perfect.
*Hugs*
Oh...I think you might've had a tiny type. When Reg is reading the note from Mrs. Potter, it says it took him a few times to understand the "import" of it, rather than the "importance," but I could be wrong. ^_^

It was Midnight Conversation #2--Sirius tells James what happened and when he gets to what Regulus did, James just snaps. I pretty much wrote this fic around that line.
Glad you like my!Reg. He's a little tricky to write, since we know so little about it. Fortunately, we know about his brother, and some of his cousins, and we know about the choices he made, so it's possible to make guesses. I feel badly for him. He's so young, and as you say, confused and malleable. But siccing the dogs on your brother--not cool at all. Very, very uncool. O_o

No, I meant "import". It also means "meaning" or "significance." :)
Yes, I definitely had my heart in my throat when Sirius told James what happened. *Shudders* Poor, stupid Reg...so overwhelmed by and high on the fact that he had a leg up on Sirius.
Er...leg up on. That sounds sorta, kinda dirty. >_<
I had a feeling you'd meant it...and now I've learned a new term! I rarely spot typos in your work. ^_^
To Regulus credit, I suppose, he knows he did something very very wrong, and he's sorry. Not exactly sorry he hurt Sirius, just sorry he did it in that manner.
I really, really like the way that scene in MC2 turned out. Parts of the fic are a little uneven, but...I'm just proud of that bit. James said and did the exact right thing. *sigh*
*g* Hey, a typo caught is better than a typo missed.
Oh wow. Guh. Poor Sirius, and poor Regulus, and gah. Regulus is so lost, and I can't quite think coherently yet. So just, wow. Again. I liked it, as always. Sorry I can't be more verbose than this :p.
I actually feel badly for Regulus. Part of his problem is that he has a conscience, and a few good intentions, but he so rarely gets the chance to do anything about them that when he does get the chance, he wastes it. Also, he lacks Sirius' friends.

And Regulus knew that he’d found his sister’s portrait, in his brother’s face.
Ohgod. Amazing.
And I like the drabbles, too.
