Summary
Regulus Black's life is not his own. He is controlled by the powers that be, aka, his father. His father's chosen path for him is unavoidable, unpreventable and regrettably irresistible if Regulus wishes to keep his sanity. He has resigned himself to obey, abandoned all endeavours of academic achievement and believes that isolating himself is the only way to stay safe. After all, his brother cared so little for him that he saved himself, falling so willingly into the arms of blood traitors. Regulus has accepted his duty, his fate, that is, he had until a certain blood traitor begins to insert himself into Regulus' space, dolefully checking in on him, winding him up beyond all reason until Regulus cannot bear to ignore him a moment longer. But duty and fate have a way of catching up to a person and Regulus can't escape what is expected of him. As war approaches and sides are picked James and Regulus find themselves on opposite sides of the war and Regulus has to decide between expectation and devotion.
