Christmas Eve 1914

[...] The Germans placed candles on their trenches and on Christmas trees, then continued the celebration by singing Christmas carols. The British responded by singing carols of their own.

A word of command has made these silent figures our enemies; a word of command might transform them into our friends.

Lieutenant Horstmayer: "One letter won't stop us winning the war. And anyhow, when we'll have taken Paris and it's over, you can invite us for a drink in Rue Vavin." Lieutenant Audebert: "You don't have to invade Paris to drop round for a drink."

(MERRY CHRISTMAS)

there's a world out there where Regulus did tell the others about the horcrux's, that between all of them they would manage to hit them all at once. Most people went in pairs but Regulus knew what was waiting for him, knew no one would let a singular person drink the poison on their own, knew that Voldemort had spelled the the poison to keep multiplying until every wizard there had drank enough to be killed. He knew that if they both drank the poison neither would survive, so he made them let him go alone, saying he would have kreacher fro company. He knew what was going to happen but he had made his peace with it. His life for his friends was a price he would pay any day of the week.

Regulus may never make it home, but the others do. the others celebrate for each successful mission, but as the hours tick on they start to worry because Regulus isn't back yet. when kreacher comes back, locket in hand, they know. And when sirius demands an explanation and kreacher, his true master dead, explains. Regulus may have told them the secret to end the war but he would not be there to see it. he died a stupid selfless hero and they all hate him for it, just a little. but then again grief has always been good at hiding in the most unexpected places.

As the number 1 Telemachus lover I know, I want to have something to say right now.

But the inside of my brain is just

And not a single real thought

When they turned him over, you could see that he could not have suffered long – his face wore an expression that was so composed that it looked as if he were almost happy that it had turned out that way.
