Summary
Sirius Black needs rage like he needs air to breathe.Bellatrix Lestrange is free-falling into an early grave.Regulus Black considers the consequences of his death a little more carefully. The world around them tilts.
Note
The circumstances surrounding Regulus’ death are in canon not very fleshed out — we know he went to the cave and died but we don’t know his true reasons and we also never discover how Sirius found out that Regulus got ‘cold’ feet and that he was apparently killed on Voldemort’s orders.We know too that Dumbledore, whatever he may privately have suspected, did not know about Tom’s horcruxes until Harry gave him the destroyed diary. How then is it that an eighteen-year-old wizard, possibly still in Hogwarts at the time, worked out Tom’s secret before Dumbledore ever did?And what would have happened if he’d told anybody else?Re: Regulus/Sirius - it will happen but it will be minor and secondary to Sirius/Bella. It won’t be skippable but it also won’t be graphic either-it’s mostly just intense emotion being missexpressed by two very emotionally inept characters.Also fancasts, because I’m a sucker — Eric Roberts as Sirius and Marc Eidelstein as Regulus. No fancast for Bella, sadly. No one has ever come close to the Bella I imagined as a girl, but HBC is of course beautiful if anyone really needs one.Final comment - Sirius! is! bloody! tall!! Peace and love x
