Like a bird in its nest

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
