Regulus isn't a stranger to choices and fate. His entire life others have been making choices
for him, until fate brought him to the Inferi infested Lake that almost killed him.
But now, free from Azkaban, the Dark Lord gone - at least for the moment -, his brother
imprisoned, and Grimmauld Place a stifling prison of his own, he thinks it's time to make
his own fate.
And what better way to start doing that than by kidnapping the Boy Who Lived when it's
clear his guardians aren't fit for the task?
Follow Regulus on his journey of finding himself, navigating parenthood, attending
therapy, and dealing with meddling Headmasters.

*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
