“I'm going to stop you right there James. I do not wish to talk about my brother with you and I do not want to hear whatever it is that he has told you." The way his voice changes when talking about Sirius is the same way Sirius's voice changes when talking about him, like they don't know how to phrase the words and are just letting it spill it out. James wonders if Regulus knows that. " Whether is good or bad, it doesn't matter." Regulus looks away. "It stopped mattering years ago.”

“Harrow said, “But you're God.”
And God said, “And I am not enough.”

“People might think that there's no way to be loving about a murder, no wat to make it poetic, but James knew better than to think like that. Love was brutal. Violence was a lot like love. They walked hand in hand, two sides of the same coin, of the same coin— the same person. It was impulsive, reckless and a joined act. You couldn't be violent alone. Someone had to inspire it, feed it, nurture it. Not one without the other.

Maybe it was a fucked up way to look at things, but it was what he knew to be true. A kiss could hurt as much as a punch. As a kick in the chest. As a knife to your side. He knew no love without teeth, without pointed nails. He had the scars on his heart to prove it.”

“I would do it all again, you know. I would relive every miserable moment of my miserable life just for the chance to be yours.”
