Summary
Here is what Sirius has never understood: he loves his mother, and he will forgive her for hurting him a hundred times over.What about me? Sirius had yelled, when Regulus told him this that fateful night one month before. Will you forgive her for hurting me?Regulus had been quiet, the bitter truth on his tongue. No, he mumbled. No.What the history books will never say is that Regulus Black was the one who told Sirius to run away. Trans Regulus Black. Regulus/Remus.
Note
First up, hello everyone :DSecond up, before anything, I'm asking you to take a chance on this pairing. I know, okay. I love Jegulus and Wolfstar with all my heart too. But Regulus/Remus (wolfking, moonwater, regus, wtv you wanna call it) has a special place in my heart, and I hope I can show you why with this fic.I give up on the numbering so I'll just get on with it. This is my first fic, so constructive criticism would be much appreciated :) also, it does get dark. TW for the whole fic: sexual assault, child abuse, childhood sexual abuse, gender dysphoria, transphobia, homophobia, and more (I'll always warn about the specifics in the author's notes before the chapter). For any SA, I will never go into graphic detail, but take care of yourself---that's always more important.Additionally, I hope my Trans Reg does the justice. I have been in love with the hc ever since I saw it. I paint Walburga Black in a different light here than most fics; please do not mistake this for me excusing, condoning, or romanticizing her actions. Child abuse is NEVER excusable. Ever.And uh... that's all folks, I think. Happy reading :)
