Summary
Regulus has always known he's destined to drown. He feels it deep in his chest, past his rib cage, nestled somewhere behind his organs. He feels it in his arm when his mother squeezes it a little harder than a mother should. He felt it, the water rising in his throat, when his brother slipped out the window and into the night. He often wonders if it'd be easier to just let himself sink.
He often wonders if he has a choice.
Regulus gets sent back to school with a mission from the Dark Lord himself— find the “beast in the chamber” and claim its fangs without killing it. But when a certain curly-haired bespectacled boy asks for a rather large favor, everything suddenly gets a lot more complicated.

Summary
“Everything will be different now.” She continues. “Starting today...more will be expected of you than ever before. And you can not fail me–fail your family. Do you understand?”
“Yes, mother.” Because of course he does. Regulus understands what today means. He knows that he will never get a moment to be truly and completely alone again. That is why he had slipped away to the music room instead of attending breakfast. It was his last moment of peace. His goodbye to his old life in which he could enjoy his solitude. Because after today, all eyes would be on him and his family. After today, he would never be allowed to wander anywhere without supervision. Not even in his own home. Because today is the day he becomes a prince.
~~~
King Riddle has declared the Noble House of Black as his heirs to the Pureblood Throne among a viper pit of power hungry, envious nobles. Regulus and Sirius struggle to navigate life as royals where everyone they meet could want them dead, even those closest to them.

Now that they've defeated Voldemort, Lily can rest and watches her son go through Hogwarts peacefully, like he was meant to be. Except he wasn't meant to do that, and now he's in Slytherin, he has a crush on a blonde boy who is the absolute worst, and Voldemort might not be that defeated after all.
