Regulus Black is such a delicate subject for me, and for a very long time I’ve been searching for a way to see my interpretation of him brought to life in a different form of art.
The idea for this cover came to me instantly when I saw this amazing photoshoot by Emil De Betencourt.
Naturally, I ran straight to @m_sunmir (IG), hoping they could bring my beautiful, conflicted boy to life in their own stunning style. There genuinely couldn’t have been a better artist for this.
All Pain Is Practice lived in my head rent-free for an embarrassing amount of time. I didn’t get a moment of peace until I could see it finished in front of me. Even then, it still took a few more weeks and an unreasonable amount of courage to actually post it and start existing on the internet like a normal person.
Since then, I’ve met so many incredible people that even trying to put it into words makes me emotional.
I uploaded the cover on AO3, so if you’re like me and physically incapable of reading anything on your device without a cover, feel free to use it.
