Very good with this sort of subtle underlying sadness. A little short, though?

Good job nonetheless. : D

well, first of all...I love Muse!! so kudos for cool music! :)
I completely agree that Regulus is often overlooked in fics which is the main reason I read this. You did a wonderful job with portraying how he would have felt,it wouldn't be easy for someone to know they're going to die and go through with it anyway. He did what he thought was right, even though it scared the hell out of him...
thank you for writing about the usually forgotten Black!
bye, JNSG

I liked the comparisons between what Regulus's heart tells him and what his head tells him.
I don't think Regulus would have written letters to his family, but it's always nice to read other people's point of view!
I also don't think that Regulus hated Sirius, but we don't know anything about it so we can interpret him any way we want.
But this was very well-written and a really good story. Great job!

PS: if you're interested in Regulus, I've written 2 stories about him, I'll Be Your Mirror and The Darkest Light - I'd love it if you could check them out. Thanks.

I love it. I spend a lot of time thinking about how Regulus changed his mind. I think I've decided on the god-like power of Rock 'n' Roll. Snape introduces him to it, accidentally. Because no person can hate muggles and live in the 70's. It's something of a; "They are evil and everyone hates them," v.s. "They wrote the White Album." And nothing beats the the White Album.

This was great. I love the insight you showed on Regulus's character. You have a great writing style and everything flowed well. It was truly brilliant. He's such an overlooked hero that I'm glad that someone showed how great his sacrifice was. Great job!

Too young, too foolish, too stupid.

That was very Regulus...the pure regret of that, and also the slap of reality that washes over you...that was genius (and i'm guessing the inspiration of this?)

Anyway, I was slightly sad at the length of this. I felt that you might've been able to delve deeper into this man that is Regulus...I think that if you're going to do a character sketch, dive in completely!

That being said, with what you worked with, this was still well done. Not all that original (i just read a fic with almost the same ending) but then again, this is the only Regulus that we know, right? And perhaps it's just the reason that dying a hero being his motivation is one of the few cold, hard facts that we can work off of.

I am part of a forum and c2 that focuses around Character Sketches that was started by Frayed Misfit...if you want to check it out, you can find a link in my profile. It is fairly new, but in our conversations certain members with Regulust have had their say, plus we have several amazing Regulus oneshots archived.

I'd love to see you there

I really like it...continue to write (not this story obviously, it's a oneshot, but yeah...)...

P.S. Regulus is one of (if not my first) my favorite characters

"He was certainly too young two years ago when he had joined the Death Eater ranks. Too young, too foolish, too stupid."

That was my favorite line-- I thought it was really powerful!

KEEP WRITING!

Very good. Very sad. Especially since he actually didn't die a hero at all. I mean, not to the world at least. You're right, people really don't give Regulus the credit he deserves. Good work, though I am a bit depressed after reading it.

Keewll! ^_^ I really liked it. I always sort of wondered what had been going through Regulus's mind...Good job! xD

Wow, I like Regulus, I must admit. Even though JKR put him in a bad position, he chose the right way out of it and gained respect long after he died.
R.A.B - I mean come on! It was not difficult to figure that one out. But it was a great addition to her story.
ANYWAY on to your story:

Great, loved it, enjoyed it thoroughly.
I think JKR would have possibly protrayed him this way if she had wanted to write about him. We all know he desperately wanted to please his parents, and impress his fellows.
I like you gave him another side though, one that showed he was scared and felt he was foolish when he learned he had gotten in way to far.

Go for Regulus for standing up for himself and doing something good, instead of continuing on being bad. It's great, I really loved your story.

Sorry about the rediculously long review. I just got excited about seeing a Regulus fic on here for once.
