Summary
If someone had asked Regulus Black what his biggest regret was, he would be caught between letting Sirius leave him behind in Grimmauld Place or becoming a member of a fanatical pureblood supremacist cult.
He had thought perhaps one day he could fix all of the words unsaid and apologies not yet given. But walking into a cave and drowning put a damper on that.
Until fate aligns and he finds himself back in 1975, the night that Sirius had run away and been blasted off the tapestry by Regulus' own wand. The night when everything had begun to tear at the seams, when Walburga and Orion Black had sold the spare to the Cause, a poor replacement for what the Dark Lord had been promised.
Regulus has to decide if he's willing to regret losing his brother all over again or else draw the wrath of both the Death Eaters and the House of Black.
