    Summary

    Regulus will always be nothing more than the apogee of every sordid Black Family secret that has come before him.

    OR

    Secrets don’t keep well; and in Regulus, they falter.

    (For the RegFest 2022. Original prompt: “Being a squib, from a very young age Regulus is kept isolated in Number Twelve, with no interactions outside the family. Without the chance to observe society outside of books and periodicals, he wonders if the nature of his relationship with Sirius is as unique as it feels, especially with his brother’s constant use of privacy charms and reminders of their promise to keep certain things their secret.”)
