SYNOPSIS ╱ in one glimpse it's legendary !

     GENEVIEVE ELLERY had spent much of her life thinking, but in a far more peculiar way. She supposed it had something to do with the completion of her life, the lack of choice, seemed a better way to phrase it.

All her life, everything had been picked for her. From her dresses to her casket style, everything was without choice. It was a fantasy to have her own decision, yet it was a fatal occurrence. What would she do if her mother asked what she wanted for dinner?

Should she say something her parents would like also? Or a meal she had been craving for months? Genevieve supposed she was lucky, never had she come to the difficult situation of choosing between one or two.

Regulus Black had nothing. No matter what he said, the soirees, the fine silks and God knows what else, nothing held true value in his eyes.

He wasn't ungrateful, the boy spent his days in denial, telling himself everything he possessed was much more than everything he'd ever dreamed of. The world spun around this sixteen year old, it was perfect, and he'd given up telling himself otherwise.

Though his brother had left the weight of the family upon his shoulders, it was all the same. Somewhere in the back of his mind, it was always him. Always Regulus to capture the burden of the Noble House of Black.

Privilege or not, he didn't want it. Possibly because I came with marriage, and marriage he knew he would dislike. Whatever girl they shipped from France or wherever in the world he knew she would not care for him either.

Maybe love wasn't what Regulus wanted, he had never truly seen that sort of emotion. In fact he'd never seen any emotion at all, apart from the rage of his mother, and the momentary flash of fear in his brother's eyes the day he left.

Genevieve and Regulus wanted the world, and not the one they had tightly wrapped around their necks, sucking freedom from their bodies. Soon it would be gone. Choice, freedom, everything would all be gone as the string pulled tighter and tighter.

SUKI SPEAKS.

I . sigh, welcome to remake 3000 of my regulus fic. I'm not going to promise this is my last remake of this book, because I know damn well it won't be. Though in my defence this ins't so much a remake, let's call it a revamp, because I've just rewritten the chapters I've publiched, and updated the layout ( which I have done for this book and Silver Springs )

II . Genevieve and Regulus ( mainly Genevieve ) are in my head a little too often, so there had been a lot of thought gone into this book, quite unlike my others ( which if you read are kinda of messy in terms of plot ) so hopefully this is actully structured.

III . small disclaimers, if I have no comments, readers, votes etc . . . I hugely lose motivation to actually write & publish ( this goes for all my books ) so spam comment and tell me your thoughts on my characters & plot !! sadly I have to say this but please don't promote your books in my comments, one because it's rude, if you have to rely on other people's works to get your's across well that's just sad. two, you just get blocked, and I don't read you book !

X . this is apart of a series, though they are barely connected. Silver Springs, is the first book and is set the year before this one. Hoax, is set two years before this one and will end before this one even starts. You don't need either of the two for this one to make sense, they're just all in the same timeline

     DISCLAIMERS ╱ apart from the obvious characters listed above, none of the wizarding world, harry potter & and the original marauders are mine and all belong to jkr, ( throws up ) though of course I don't support her horrible transphobic beliefs.

     the layout, and mood boards were all made by me. please don't steal my creations or works, I put time and effort into things like this. If you would like to use my layout pm me privately.

gorgeous cover by bonesandaII  !! thank you so so much I love it !! & outro gif by duable x
