At first I was hesitant of reading this because we all know that Regulus's fate is a sad one and I hate sad stories, especially if they have good authors to them. However, your writing is really beautiful and original. I especially like your characters and the way you've portrayed their relations to one another. I especially like the simplicity of the Death Eater initiation. I kept expecting something horrid and was surprised. It was scarier in its simplicity. I lovelovelove the first person point of view. I think those are usually harder to write and you've done a great job! Although I absolutely love Somewhere I Have Never Travelled, this story deals with much deeper conflicts so keep up the good work! :) and thanks for writing! I can't believe you've got me reading a sad story!

Hey I haven't really read this story but if its anything like the Some place I have never traveled one it must be really good
Yeah and the only reason im reviewing is to beg you to finish Some place i have never traveled
Seriously i'll send you an online cookie :)
But that story is in my top 2 favorite Dramione stories along with Harry Potter and the Fight for The Malfoy Empire because there both so beautifully written and not all full of cliches like other stories and i think i might cry if you never update in again so pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease UPDATE soon
I guess i'll start reading this one then

beautiful.

Cool idea and I liked how you wrote Regulus and Sirius. Please update soon thanks.

im not sure if i have reviewed for this chapter yet. if i have, i apologize and you can skip the next couple paragraphs of praise (unless you like reading it, of course. i wouldn't mind hahaa). on the other hand, if i haven't, i sincerely apologize and am now doing what i should have done long ago.

ELEVEN OWLS! i LOVE the way he stands up and defends himself in a nonchalant way. score for sirius!

i absolutely ADORE the way you capture the characters, especially james in this chapter. him at the party was pretty speechless. he spat out everything in such a blantantly honest way that was just...well, pretty cool. and i love this line

"im more of a brother to him than you'll ever be"

it's so true. reg was never really...a brother. but james? james who stands up for sirius and is friends with him even though his family loathes the potters? he's a real brother.

i hate bellatrix. with a passion. it has been enforced with this story (good thing). and sirius's mom. she's a pain up the rear end.

just as a request, i hope she dies in this story. not sirius. i had tears in my eyes in the fifth book.

i really have almost no complaints about your stories, as you can probably already tell. i only have one, little, naggy thing that many other people have probably already told you and you don't need to hear it again, and yet i am still going to say it because i am an impatient little creature...

don't take this the wrong way, although it sounds a lot like an insult...

you kinda stink at updating.

now, i don't mean that as an insult, because you can probably tell that i aboslutely idolize your stories. however, it can be a pain waiting for your updates. i know that the next chapter has to be absolutely amazing, which makes the wait even harder than before and that just irritates me. nothing against you.

especially because i am so curious to your hermione/malfoy story. somewhere i have never traveled? i honestly cannot say that "i know you're busy" or "i know it's hard for you to write" or "i know writers block can take a long time to get over and then write and update"

because from your point of view, i honestly dont know.

which is why i won't say it, even though i have? anyway, im alomst down to begging for an update because waiting for another amazing chapter is like dipping me into hot wax on a string a thousand times - a slow, tortuous death.

well, not quite that literally, but figurativley it was all i could think of.

so please, please, please, just CONSIDER posting your next chapter. i have no doubt that it will be just as brilliant as your other ones, but you're quite literally killing me here.

other than that, fantastic as always.

ONE HUNDRED STARS!!

one hell-of-a-dedicated-fan,

p.s. who is that in your profile picture? it's an interesting picture and i rather like the burned out/lit match theme.

This is a great story - I love the originality of it and I can't wait to see how it goes. I don't know if I'm right, but I definitely don't think that Regulus is going to end up with Adele. As sad as it is, I think she's going to end up dying. But it doesn't really matter what I think will happen - you'll write it ten times better than I could picture it. Update soon

I love it :) Sirius is such a..deep, for lack of better words, character. And Regulus as well.
The only thing is that it seems a bit sudden for him to want to hurt his brother at the end of the chapter right after he wants to be just like him. Was there a thought somewhere that I missed? ):

good chapter. i'm starting to see a bit more of why regulas black turned bad... it's kind of sad, really. you make him out to be a good guy leading a really sad, misunderstood life. keep up the wonderful work! i'm amazed how you find just the right words to say, to describe the story. amazing. awesome work! ;) update soon!

Amanda

very intriguing depiction of the blacks. regulus isn't a character done too often and it is very fascinating to see his view of his dysfunctional family. there is the constant tension stretching tighter and tighter, the strangely affectionate relationships that will most likely deteriorate in the near future, and regulus, the silent observer... sirius... i like how you portrayed him - mercurial as usual, not quite definable. great start - i'll be reading!

I like it a lot!
Only thing I have to say is that it might have been more tied together if you mentioned/ incorporated light in the end of the story (at the dinner table, etc.)

good story. i liked it. keep up the good work. i haven't actually read any story that focused on regulus black before, so this should be interesting. poor sirius. his mother is stupid and crazy, honestly.

amanda

Very very good. You did a lot of research on light didn't you? Anyways, keep up the good work.

Wow. I love it. I've never really thought of Regulus like this. More like the stereotypical reformed-bad-guy kind of thing. Your dialogue and images are just amazing. KEEP GOING, PLEASE. I'm so glad I have you on author alert.

On that note..SOMEWHERE I HAVE NEVER TRAVELED?!?!

HATUSU HAS RETURNED!

wow this story is AWESOME. sirius has always been one of my favorite characters,so im pretty ecstatic this is about him, although a tad confused on why it's from regulus's point of view. im sure i'll find out why.

i have to admit, im disappointed sirius didn't follow james out of the room, though im sure there's a reasonable explanation that i just dont seem to get. i was so sure he was going to leave and stand up for what he thought was right, but i guess that comes later? maybe? yes yes?

regulus' view is interesting to listen too because you can hear his thoughts even if he is obedient on the outside. but i like the underlying contrast between him and his brother. (no offense to reg, but i love sirius much much more. i told myself i would buy a huge, black, shaggy dog one day and name him sirius. let my friends laugh; they're just jealous)

personally, i believe you've captured sirius amazingly! he's fun, outgoing, temperamental, laid back, thoughtful, defiant, and of course, devilishly handsome :]

and i love how you incorporated james into the story. subtley done, but he plays a major role in the first chapter. and he too is, for my sudden lack of vocabulary, super cool. (they go to hogwarts for heaven's sake!)

i wish i was the first to review for this story, but that might not be the case. nevertheless, i am thrilled you've posted anything, and as always, it is remarkably written and extraordinarily phrased. well done!

although this may sound pushy, i just wanted to add that i hope you update your other story as well. i feel rather bad for saying this, as you probably get tons of requests for it (i know im dying for the next chapter), but i thougth i might add it in as a plead? haha sorry :)

from a reader's point of view, it's excellent. i dont think i've ever been able to say bad things about your stories - they're just too fantastic.

once again, but no surprise here, you've done wonderfully. i loved reading it - submission to fantasy is one of the best possible feelings to me (althogh waking up from the dream isn't too great). i'll be on the lookout for your next chapter!

sincerely yours,
