We've had Noctis going back in time, chocobros, Ardyn, royal bastards in their various incarnations, Cor-

But I don't think I've ever seen Regis be the one to get sent back in time. Like, can you imagine it? Regis, who just killed Noctis (his son his child his), waking up as a teenager over 40 years in the past. And deciding to Fuck the Prophecy and Bahamut too, he's not doing any of that again (please don't make him do that again he can't).

Regis goes on to completely demolish the timeline, with Clarus and Wesk trailing behind and making concerned noises. (understandable, Regis kind of changed overnight)

For bonus points, his original timeline was one with a royal bastard, maybe even more than one. Except this time, Regis actually keeps track of his exes so he finds out about them pretty soon.

(If you want maximum angst, it was the one where Luche kills him)

Regis dies. It is a swift death. A mercy given to him by the hands of his daughter.

(His daughter that he never knew. His daughter that must have suffered for it to have ended this way. His daughter. A traitor. But still his daughter.)

Regis dies, and when he wakes he finds himself younger. He finds himself nineteen years old and untested by the hardships of the coming years.

Regis dies with blood in his mouth.

He wakes up with the memory of cold arms lowering him to the ground and frost curling across a pale cheek. Is his daughter alive yet? Regis doesn't believe so but he can't know for sure.

He knows Noctis isn't alive. Regis knows that at least his son will be safe. But Luche? Regis doesn't know.

Something in him aches.

-

There is something off about Clarus' Prince. The only King that will ever have his loyalty, the only person Clarus will die for that isn't his wife. There has been something off about Clarus' Prince for years now. Ever since Regis woke up on his nineteenth birthday something has been off about him.

Regis dives into whatever work is assigned to him. He plays politics like he's an old hand at it and seems to know what schemes his father is up to before they happen. Regis is different, it's shown in the frantic but careful way he directs resources into areas he thinks will need them most and ignore the nobles that grumble and whine only to be shocked that Regis was right about diverting their forces from around Insomnia to near Galahd.

It is as if Regis has grown the ability to see the future and Regis laughs at Clarus when he suggests it. For a moment it looks like he's about to make a joke but his face freezes as if he's remembering something.

"Clarus," Regis says slowly, "What was the name of the woman my father sent me on my eighteenth birthday?"

"Why do you ask?" Regis plotting something, this much Clarus can tell. But it's been six years since then and Clarus still can't tell exactly what Regis wants with this information.

"I need to know," Regis says, "I think she has something of mine."

-

Her name is Tita Lazarus.

Lazarus. It isn't a common enough name for Regis to ignore the possibility that this woman is the mother of his child.

Regis remembers her dazed gaze a she looked at him through their night together. He remembers how she was cold even when he tried to warm her with his magic. Most of all, Regis remembers when frost started to coat her fingertips after they had finished.

He hadn't thought of the woman much in his life before, he thought her another manipulation by his father to get him to behave. But if she hadn't told Mors about her child then where did her loyalty lie?

For Luche's sake, Regis hopes it's with him.

-

The ones who meet them at the docks of Galahd's biggest - and only - port are a mix of those from Clan Khara and Clan Bellum. They watch as Regis jumps off the ship and makes his way toward them.

Their body language is relaxed, but there is a tension in the air that tells Regis that although he is welcomed he better not try anything.

"Greetings, Son of Crystal," The leader of the Khara delegation speaks, "May we inquire as to the nature of your visit?"

"I'm looking for a Lazarus," Regis says and the air goes still. Ah. They are hiding something. Regis knew it. "Her name was Tita. I believe she has a child."

The tension doesn't ease with Regis' words but it changes.

"And if she does?"

Regis smiles. It's all teeth.

"I would like to meet my daughter."

-

Here is the thing: Regis refuses to let his mistakes bleed into this life. He refuses to let his daughter suffer and he refuses to let his son sacrifice himself like a karakul on an altar.

That being said, he doesn't expect the reaction he gets when his daughter meets them on the way to her own house.

"You're not supposed to be here." Tiny fists clutch at Regis' pants and glowing blue eyes peer up at him. Her face is scrunched up in terror as if the world had suddenly changed. Beside him the Khara and Furia accompanying him and Clarus are quiet. "You're not supposed to be here! The path has changed the trees face backward. You're not-" She stumbles over her words and tears well up in her eyes and freeze.

"Why now?" Luche's voice trembles, "Why this path? Why this journey? Why this me? Why not the others? Don't you know how they - how we - suffered? Why am I enough but they aren't? Why-" Frost curls over her cheekbones and Regis reaches out-

The Furia swings into action before Regis can scoop his daughter into his arms and soothe her. Lottie - the Furia - drags Luche away from Regis and Regis bites back a snarl even if he can't help the way his magic sharpens the air.

There is so much he doesn't know about his daughter. It infuriates him others know more than he does.

He has time to learn.

It doesn't make up for what happened in the past.

"Stop your wandering," Lottie gently scolds Luche, "The trees are the same, the path is solid. There is no use wandering on what-ifs and could-bes. Come back to the greener grass and the song the winds sing."

Luche stares at Lottie, her eyes slowly focusing on the figure in front of her. She blinks once. Twice.

Luche spins to look at Regis.

"Why are you here?" She demands and this time Regis can notice the buzzing of his ancestral magic under her skin.

"I'm here for you," Regis says, "And your mother."

"You don't want her," Luche warns, "She's gone too far."

"Do you want her?"

Luche pauses.

Regis smiles.

"Think about it," he says, "On the way to your home - tell me about yourself."

Things like this piss me off to no end. My parents aren't at all like this, in fact throughout my life I've been raised as basically an equal. As an only child for almost 18, my mom was and still is my closest friend. The only reason they raised me like this is mostly because my grandma often invaded my mom's privacy (she was an only child), and my dad (along with his four other siblings) was abused by my the man I unfortunately have to call my grandfather. It's also partly due to the fact that my parents had me when they were young and they both still have the humor of teenagers.

And I have turned out fine. I'm not pregnant at 18, I don't sneak out, I don't do drugs, I don't smoke, I don't go to parties, and I don't drink. I'm free to make my own mistakes and learn from them. I deal with all the consequences of my own actions. Sure, my parents offer up what they've went through, but only as advice. They want me to live my life so I'm happy. They don't force things on me or tell me how I HAVE to be. I only get in trouble when I've done something I shouldn't be doing, and usually all I get is a stern talking to, never anything major. That's all I need to know that I fucked up, because I have respect for them like they have respect for me.

So, it pisses me off when I see other parents treat their kids like prisoners. My best friend's dad does this and it makes me want to scream everytime I'm at her house, because he's done so many horrible things to her since she was in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL for fucks sake! He used to read through her diaries (he actually picked the lock off one) and journals while she was at school and then yell at her when she got home about their contents. She also didn't have a door to her room until this year! She's 17 years old and didn't have a door to her OWN ROOM until a few months ago. He also has the password to her Facebook account, which he tells her when she can be on it. She had to create a fake account just so she could talk to her friends. He told her that she wasn't allowed to date until she was 16, and then when she did get a boyfriend he hated the guy!(which is kind of justified, the guy is kind of an asshole) So he forces her to break up with him, which she actually doesn't but lies for months saying that she did. When he finally founds out, he grounds her for about six months. She isn't allowed on her phone when she's at home and can't use her school issued iPad, unless it's for homework. He also didn't let her have friends over, or let her go to a friends house until she was 13. She'd never even had something so simple as a sleepover. He limits when she can go somewhere. If it's less than a week in advance, then she can't go. And he will yell at her for no reason at all. It doesn't help that her mom is too busy chasing guys with money to even pay child support, let alone actually spend time with her two children. Yeah, my friend has a younger brother who is practically treated like fucking royalty. Her brother was caught stealing something and guess what his punishment was? He was grounded for a month, but he was still allowed on his phone. He can go to his friends houses whenever he wants and he has had several girlfriends (who he has been allowed to visit) at the age of 13.

And this abuse has fucked her up. She can barely sleep 3 hours a night, she has anxiety/social anxiety, depression, hates herself, doubts her own intelligence, blacks out and wakes up with self inflicted scratches all over her arms (which her father didn't even notice despite the fact that at one point she had them wrapped in an ace bandage because they were deep and there was so many if them), and is even seeing a therapist provided by our school because the guidance counselor was so concerned about her. Yet he refuses to take her to the doctor to get her medication like the therapist told him to. He even denies the fact that she has depression like he's a fucking professional. This is coming from a person who was once so depressed he turned to drugs and alcohol for comfort.

So, yeah. Anyone who says privacy is not something that a child needs nor should have until they are an adult is a fucking liar, and they don't deserve to be a parent.

So my dad took away my laptop because I wouldn’t give him the password. I wasn’t even allowed to type it in, he demanded to know the password to my personal computer because he thinks I’m “ doing things I’m not supposed to do. ” My sister is not, and never has been, held to the same standard when it came to passwords on her own phone etc. But my parents always suspect me of being “up to something” and will randomly ask to use my computer/ know the password, and when I say no, they get mad at me. In the past, they have taken away my devices and looked through them, which cased me a lot of anxiety and is part of the reason I don’t like it when people use my computer or go through the camera roll on my phone. Even as I type this, I’m being asked what I’m doing. If you think parents demanding to know the passwords to their child’s personal devices is a breach of privacy please reblog
