Summary
In the winter of 1975, Sirius Black runs away to the comfort of James Potter’s manor, refusing to look back. Except... he never really considered that Regulus would do the same thing a year later. Because why would he? Regulus Black was Walburga and Orion's darling, perfect heir... right? Regulus isn't perfect and he's aware of that, made startlingly aware of that, so much so that he runs away to his Uncle Alphard's, running away from all the responsibilities that weigh on him, leaving the fucking pressure of Grimmauld Place.orThe Noble and Most Ancient House of Black discover Regulus is gay so he leaves to live with his Uncle Alphard because in no way in hell is he going to marry a pureblood witch and produce perfect pure babies. Maybe now that both brothers are out of that house, they can work on actually healing their relationship without the influence of fascist bigots. And maybe James Potter can even crack Regulus's icy exterior? Maybe.
