In Bellatrix's words, Sirius was a loud-mouthed little shit who had more hair than he had brains. Sirius once made Regulus cry, and Bellatrix pushed him down the stairs.

"I like your tea," James offers. "Maybe I'm biased, but it tastes better than anyone else's. What do you do to it?" 

Regulus hums and lightly says, "I spit in it." 

Without missing a beat, James replies, "Ah, that explains it."

“Something that kept us separate, but it also brought us together as well. When you're brothers, something like that is sacred.  Regulus thinks of him and Sirius, and then, rather ridiculously, what passes through Regulus' mind is one word. A name.  James”

“He's lying. I can always tell when he's lying. Practically every word he's said was a lie." ”

Regulus Black was fifteen the first time his name was called at a reaping. He's twenty-five when it happens to him again. A lot has changed in that time, and one of them is that he's ready to do whatever it takes to make it home. Nothing or no one will stop him, not even James Potter.

James Potter has no plans to stop Regulus Black from making it home. In fact, his plans revolve around the opposite. He has his reasons, but he's made his choice to get Regulus out of the arena, even knowing it'll be the last thing he ever does.

Sirius Black was sixteen when he volunteered to take his little brother's place in the arena. At twenty-six, without the option to do it again, he has no choice but to be a mentor to his brother and best friend, knowing that only one of them can make it back out.

Two names called, a mentor on the verge of falling apart, and more secrets and grief between all of them than they know how to handle. None of them are prepared for what comes next, or how far they'll go to make it through.

I spend almost a year (a YEAR!) reading this just to be fucking destroyed. Does it even count as a happy ending when EVAN DIED???????? I won't be recovering, nor shut up about this, ever.. -0,5 star for giving me depression. This is fanfiction and has NO business being this influential in my life.
