   Summary

   Regulus doesn't know how to pick up the pieces of his life. When he escaped the Black family cult at seventeen he left with more than just the physical scars and he doesn't know how to fix any of it so he's stopped trying. Instead he's chosen to live life doing whatever makes him happy and if that happiness comes from getting high and fucking Evan's boyfriend then so be it. That is until he meets James Potter at a bar and decides to get revenge for another part of his life he'd rather forget.

   OR

   Regulus tries to reconcile with his past while slowly and unintentionally falling in love with James.
