The final line was utterly brilliant. I loved the entire idea of this fic, and the adjectives you chose were really prefect for Regulus... loved how he he saw himself as not-quite-there the whole time, and the foreshadowing of his death was subtle, but well-done. Nice!

Very interesting idea using the letters of his name for the sketch. I think "Unfinished" and the final line were my favorite sections, because it's a different, interesting angle of him.

I loved Unfinished. It was perfect and so heartbreaking, that he should compare himself to Sirius. I liked the first bit too, Regal, the one with him never becoming a king - and then of course I got hit by the last two lines with all the force of an explosion. This was lovely. I can't believe I haven't seen this before!

Regulus is such an interesting and unknown character. I like that this story gives such a well rounded sense of a person, and the end really draws it all together beautifully. I can already tell I'll be thinking of this character for a while yet.

I loved it! Really matches my opinion of Regulus, and I am a huge fan of Reggie.

Loved it!

This is so raw that it left me gasping for breath.

Interesting. Regulus is my favorite character, so I love finding good writing about him. I liked how you portrayed him. he was exactly the way I pictured him from what we learned in the books.

I really enjoyed reading this view on Regulus. He is a character who is so important, yet so unknown in the Rowling world, and your interpretation was brilliant!

All right, to start this off, I have to say that my favorite part was "Secretive," along with the last bit. It just brought his whole life and character together, and completed him.
There were some parts that I felt could have been longer, like "Lonely." I felt that there could have been an experience to make him realize he was alone, or more of an explanation. Maybe, comparing his daily life to Sirius' daily life. Regulus could see just how much fun it was to have friends watching Sirius.
But seriously, I felt that a lot of this was good. It showed the well-known status of being the overshadowed younger sibling. But this also showed how that can help you grow, and how the people stuck in that status can rise above that to do and feel what that person always felt had fit them.

Amazing work!

Good job, really. You catched Regulus' complex character in a short text, his portrait is full, has a certain depth. Although he considers himself to be a draft, you gave us finished painting. And I liked subtitles composing his name.

Oh wow this is really cool and unique. I've never read anything like this before. You've done a really good job of taking that poem where you take each letter of a person's name and think of an adjective for it, and making it not corny at all, but a real, and fantastic, character sketch. Wonderful job.

Your use of language here is spectacular. A broad vocabulary, to be sure, but many authors would simply drop a bunch of $5 words, while you've chosen each one, quite artfully. Your miniatures are lovely; each one (even the one-sentence "Lonely") captures an entire story. These drabbles are easy to write, but so very difficult to write well. You've written them quite well indeed.

I loved this. No errors- if I didn't know better, I would say that English was your first language. Good job- Regulus is a tricky one to write, but you did it flawlessly.

Very nice. I've always wanted to read more about Regulus.. very nicely done.

The wistfulness and Might have beens in this story are brilliantly handled. You;ve captured the feeling of being a second son and never quite as good as your brother wonderfully. I loved the use of the painting, and how he finished it himslef.
