Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
Author's Note: So here it is, the story that's been wrapped in my head for almost a year now. Thanks to Lilac, my beautiful beta, for help and always, the HP wikia, I doubt I would get anything right without it. Also, the chapters do tend to be short and sweet, so I promise to try to post at least everyday until it's finished. There are mentions of slash and incest, and dark themes, given it's the story of the last two years of Regulus Black's life. Well, please enjoy, and do review. -Delta
Chapter One
Regulus is alone.
The sheets beneath him are empty, still warm and plush and smelling of him. His hand slide across the ruffled dark sheets, the window's curtains dancing across the length of the room, searching.
Searching for him.
But as the hours pass and the wind grows anxious, no one comes back through the small opening and finally Regulus falls over into the now cold bed.
And he curses himself.
