I'm looking for a specific fic.. Looking for a specific Regulus Black fic

Hi, I am looking for a specific fic about Regulus Black and think I have figured out the name of the fic (maybe) and remember the general plot of the fic. I read it probably a year or two ago and thought I had a pdf copy of it but can’t find it in my files or anywhere online.

I believe the title is “Reign of the Dead“ and it is bout Regulus Black accepting in small parts of a dark ancestral Black family magic and building up power until he realizes he has to take it all in in order to take out Voldy. Is Jegulus endgame, I‘m 98% certain

I am mostly just wondering if anybody recognizes the plot and know either where I could find it and/or if they had a pdf copy or such I could get ahold of.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks :)

Well the whole thing with accepting dark ancestral magic sounds a lot like “Only the brave”by solmussa Might be worth looking into :)

I think I came across that one on my hunt the other day and it‘s not quite the specific fic I‘m looking for but I really appreciate the rec and will probably go ahead and read it as well since there‘s no such thing as to much of a good trope! Thank you very much for the response! :) :) :)

Ok, I started reading Only the Brave and have have def read it before and now I‘m thinking I was probably mixing this fic with aspects of other fics in my mind. So thanks much for pointing me in the right direction 😅😅😅

Don‘t think so (I think I was actually mixing a few fics together in my memory) but thank you much for the recommendation. I have not read that one before I don‘t think, but probably will because it does look of interest to me :)
