I think that present tense fits this story perfectly. It gives it such a "this is happening now, this is happening to us" feeling. Such a bittersweet story, I can really sympathize with Regulus' emotions here. A wonderful character study!

Nice! I especially liked the detail about Cygnus and Alphard paralleling Regulus and Sirius.

This story wouldn't be half as good if it wasn't in present tense. I love this story too!

Great job. Regulus's musings on the members of his family that have been disowned are particularly interesting, as are the glimpses of loyalties between other family members, such as Cygnus and Alphard.

That was really amazing! I love Reggi. your a really good writer.

This was a very thought provoking look into what Regulus might really have been thinking when he took that locket. . . .and he IS R.A.B. no matter what anyone else may say, except, of course, for JKR herself. If she says he isn't, then I'll believe her.

Very very interesting. One of the better Regulus POV fics that I've read.

Very interseting idea about the locket. I like this.

Wow. Great stuff. I see you picked up the secret to the locket in the Black's house, too?
Anyway, amazing work as always. Present tense really works for this one; your instincts were correct. It's hard to write a story that works in present tense and you did it admirably. Again, good work and I look forward to reading more of your stuff soon!

I really enjoyed this! I love present tense fics, I prefer them over past tense. But whatever. Great job on getting inside the head of a character who we know so little about.

You know, I was so wrapped up in the story, I didn't even notice the present tense.

I didn't even notice the tense. Another amazing story from you.

You're an amazing writer. Where do you get these ideas? You're making a real character out of Regulus, which i think is very good. Keep up the good work!

This is because I'm in both a Black family reading mood, and a reviewing spree. I don't review enough.

Regulus' reflecions were fantastic, and the mention of Cygnus was great too. For once we got to see him outside the distainful mask.

Also the imagery with the threads of the tapestry was beautiful, I was trying for something similar in my Andromeda story, but I'm not sure if it worked...

I generally feel the same way with tenses, but you're right. I didn't really notice it was in present until you said so at the bottom because it just blended in. I wonder what would happen, though, if everyone went into the room with the Tapestry and found it completely repaired... Anyway! This is an awesome story and I love Regulus very much. You portrayed him very well, and I love how he wasn't the only one feeling abandoned by an older brother. It felt more real that Cygnus was in there too! ^^
