I know how much you love the House of Black, and it really shows in your work. The way you write Regulus is so incredible for someone who wasn't even alive through out the course of the series. The dinner table scene was fantastic. It shows us how every day is like, and it's no wonder that Sirius left the way he did. His father and brother tried to stop the fighting, but the only thing they did was delay the inevitable. Sigh.

This was pretty perfect. It really captured Sirius's family, but in a more realitic way than usual. I really like that you did it so that his dad and Regulus were okay. And I loved that you had him and Sirius actually getting along. Sweet. Loved James too in his little appearance. Very in character and wonderful, trying to be on both sides at once. I also like that it takes a long while before you actually say when in time this is, but we're very much able to guess by some actions and hints. Very well-written also. Going on favorites, definitely.

Going on favorites.

I loved how in the end, Sirius was begging Reg to leave with him, and Reg begging him to stay.

oh, if only sirius found out how brave his brother was. Wonderful story.

aw :( what a sad story...
i love how you made sirius' family NORMAL. I mean sure his mum's mean but you can see his dad and his bro are decent people. :( wah its so sadd... I'm adding it to my faves!

That was a great one-shot. I really liked your Regulus and how he was characterized. He was very believable and the insight he had on Sirius' views about how for Sirius "it was all about the exceptions" - that was brilliant

And I liked the small interaction between the Marauders how though James understood how both his friends feel and James reassuring Sirius that he WILL talk to him...that was really sweet

This was so sad but so beautiful! I really enjoyed it. Most fics don't portray the sibling relationship between Regulus and Sirius in a way that feels genuine. I am really impressed with how well you wrote that particular aspect of the story. Everything else was nicely done too. I especially liked Sirius' sensitivity to his mother's remark about werewolves.

Oh, this is a really powerful story! I think that was the first time I'd read a story that had Sirius and his mother arguing but didn't have his mother putting him down. It's an interesting idea, and I liked how you managed to make Regulus more 'human' (as opposed to Death Eater in-training) while still believing in some of the Death Eater propaganda.
Thank you for sharing this with us!

This made me very, very sad for both of the brothers. Wonderful job. *sniff*

Wow - I like this fic. I really enjoyed how you portrayed Narcissa and Bellatrix and Regulus as not having been horrible Death Eaters all of their life, and how Sirius actually has flaws (gasp)! Great job, one of the finest pieces of fanfiction I've read thus far. *adds to Favorites list*

Wow. Excellent. This is the only fic I read with Regulus. It's really good. I love the way you write.

Everything you write is magical, FernWithy. I assume this is just a one-shot, but luckily all your fics seem written in the same universe, so hopefully you'll write more about Regulus soon. I'd absolutely love to see your take on how he turns from Voldemort.

I loved the line about how for Sirius it was all about the exceptions and that Bellatrix cursed the clouds in his dream. You just flesh every character out wonderfully. And it's very interesting to see The Prank and The Running Away combined into one story. :)

Thank you. It is so hard to find fics where Sirius and Regulus actually get along. Wonderful fic :]

That's kind of nice. It just shows the two brothers together, without them fighting much and all. And, you know, it's sweet. The ending was nice, and I liked how the issues with the Marauders were portrayed.

this was so sweet. its so terrible what happened to them.
