Summary
Regulus Black survives his adventure in the cave and brings the locket to an unlikely ally: his estranged older brother. The ex-Death Eater strikes a bargain with Dumbledore, cooperation in exchange for his family’s safety. Sirius Black is faced with his toughest mission yet: managing Walburga and Orion Black—who, to his surprise and dismay, decide they rather enjoy having both of their sons back, and very quickly scheme to make this temporary family reunion permanent.
Or: the story of how one night completely changed the course of the war and Sirius's life.

Summary
Why was Sirius convinced that Peter would be the better option for the Potters' secret keeper? The Fidelius charm is designed so that the secret cannot be tortured out of the secret keeper, but Sirius still refuses to accept the responsibility.
It leads us to assume that there must have been certain scenarios that Sirius could think of where he might, just might divulge the secret. Even though he'd die for James.
It's here that we must remember that Sirius has a family on the other side.

Summary
Regulus waits for hours. For hours, he stands on that cursed cliff, the black waters churning and gushing and crashing far below. Even as far up as he is, the air is heavy with spray. He breathes in the salt, and tries to cast his mind back to childhood visits the seaside. He can't. It smells too much like blood.There is an odd noise behind him, inhuman footsteps, nails on rock-Regulus spins around and finds a large, wet, dog. It's huge, and black. The dark eyes are wide and intelligent; far too intelligent to be a convenient stray.
Regulus laughs hysterically. He has been sent a Grim. An omen of death that should be sent to the unwary, not to someone who is attempting what is tantamount to suicide.
The Grim walks closer, eyes wary, and Regulus tells it helplessly, "It is alright, I already know." His voice doesn’t waver, and he takes a moment to be viciously proud of himself for that. "I am going to die."Or:
Regulus hopes for a chance to say goodbye to Sirius, and somehow that changes everything.

Summary
“Merlin, you’re as bad as my mother.”
Snuffles’s head snapped up with what was distinctly a glare on his doggy face.
Regulus pretended not to see it, grinning. “That reminds me!” He stood up. “My parents came to watch the game. Come on, I want you to meet them!”
