Whew, that was a short – but extremely FUN piece! Turned out to be around 5.5k words and a bunch of gore on top of that. Regulus’ voice is certainly unorthodox for him, but if he’s Sirius’ brother, I imagine the guy had to have a sense of humor. And true, he wasn’t entirely a ‘good guy’ in the books, but in the end I think everyone agrees that he turned out to be better than folks gave him credit for. I just like to think he was a better person for a longer amount of time.

Summary: Regulus Black discusses life as an inferi, living with his new deadbeat neighbors, and then gets a surprise visit from mister tall, dark, and reptilian himself. Apparently Voldemort wasn’t quite finished with him, even though he is technically dead now.

Piece by piece, limb by limb, Regulus gets put together again. Though not quite in the best way. His “saviors” aren’t exactly world-renowned surgeons or anything, and they rely on magic to do the work. Which is great, but you still need a basic understanding of anatomy. Poor ol’ Reggie!
