Summary
"Kreacher, we need your help," Sirius croaked. "Please, get us out of here."
Kreacher's eyes flicked between the two brothers, his expression a storm of anger and disgust. "Master Sirius is the cause of pain," he spat in the eldest brother’s face, his features contorting into a terrifying grimace. "Master Regulus suffers because of the blood traitor!"
Sirius's eyes filled with desperation. He didn’t feel like he could say much to defend himself. It was a hard, painful truth. Regulus was in pain, because Sirius couldn’t swallow his own pride and be obedient. No punishment would ever be enough to purge Sirius’ soul of this crime. He let down his brother. He taught him bravery, and that’s where it led him. Bleeding out, terrified, broken. Sirius lowered his head, and he didn’t know how long he could hold back tears.
Regulus shook his head, tightening his grip around the elf’s hand. "Please, Kreacher, he didn't do this to me," he whispered, his voice hoarse but still firm enough. "They did.” It took so much strength for Regulus to even acknowledge what his own family did to him, to Sirius. He suffered quietly all his life. But that excruciating pain could not be forgiven.

Summary
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

Summary
What if Regulus Black had made a different choice? A crucial choice; a choice which betrays the Dark Lord far earlier. A choice that would lead to an unexpected tangled web of lies, secrecy, and double crossing. A choice that could provide him with so much more to gain-and so much more to lose.
Regulus finds himself navigating growing up, falling in love, trying to do the right thing, and fixing a tumultuous relationship with his brother while protecting those he loves as the Wizarding War looms ever closer...
I have recently changed the name of this fic from 'Saving my Brother, The Lionheart' to 'In the hope' as it was just too long, and I feel the new title is a better representation of the fic. Sorry for any confusion!
Sequel now up!
