For the record, I hate these things. You're supposed to be witty and intriguing enough to draw in your fellow authors/readers/literary addicts, so they will desire to learn more. I'm afraid my witticism account has been depleted as of late. Perhaps it may be that there is a strong positive correlation between it and my banking account. It seems good humor is often tied to good finance. Footnotes of my life read as follows: I'm college educated several times over, thus I have no money (student loans, you see). Do we see my humor wavering? I've a background in business, music, cats, martial arts, horses, writing... never mind. Were I to hit only the highlights, I'd still have too much to write. Jack of all trades, Master of none. Or would that be 'Jane'? Though initially drug kicking and proverbially screaming (not the kicking - that was quite literal), my dear friend Pamela introduced me to the world of Harry Potter, and since then I've become a marrow-infested fanatic (read: bone-deep). Did I mention I've a dry sense of humor? Such as it is, it goes well with my love of LOTR. I'm a patron of the adventurous arts. If you've really a further interest in my most eclectic yet ever-so-humble life, e-mail me at sonofarathorn@bigfoot.com . Otherwise, I'll bore you no more. Without further adieu (or ado)- On with the show...

Oh, wretched author, to leave it there!  Fabulous tension, as usual.  Brava!

Response from R J Lupins Kat (Author of The Voice of All the Gods)

Thank you, thank you.  *bows*lol... I'm working on the next chapter as I write this.  I'm hoping it will equal expectations.Thanks, again!

This is such a fantastic story - so compelling and fresh.  Your writing takes my breath away!  I'm operating on far too little sleep right now, but when I'm more coherent, I will go back and leave "real" reviews for the chapters, as opposed to nice (but likely unhelpful), pandering praise for your mad writing skillz.  :-)

Response from R J Lupins Kat (Author of The Voice of All the Gods)

lol... thank you!  Ah, such 'pandering praise' is also helpful - for the self-esteem, I tell you! Ah, I see also that my latest chapter I have yet to post here, so soon I'll get that up.  Interesting dialogue, methinks. Thanks again for such a wonderful start to my morning.  I hope you get some much needed rest.Cheers!

So glad to see an update!  My only complaint is that it's too short.  I so enjoy this story.  Poor kids, no idea what they're getting themselves into.  I can't wait for love to hijack them and set everything spinning sideways.Fabulous, as always. :)

Response from R J Lupins Kat (Author of The Voice of All the Gods)

Woo-hoo!  Thank you!  It's wonderful to see I still have readers. lol  Yes, a bit short, but there's a slight turn coming up, and I needed to get there without getting into it yet.  But high praises, indeed, that that is your single complaint. Hijacking will be a mellow term for it when those two get further intertwined, and there will be - grant you - some serious drama and a bit of angst to go along with it.  It's a love affair that is anything but blessed.  But oh, the reprecussions...Thanks, again!

I have so much love for this story!  Each chapter is such a treat, I am always left wanting more.  Great job, it is always refreshing to read such quality fanfic.

Response from R J Lupins Kat (Author of The Voice of All the Gods)

Hey!  I hadn't heard from you in so long, I thought you'd given up on this story.  What a wonderfully pleasant surprise to see that isn't the case. And thank you!  I'm glad you are enjoying it.  It seems to take longer - on average - to compose a chapter in this story than in TVN, but I'm hoping it is worth the wait.  Regulus is such a goldmine of contridictions and opportunities.Thanks, again!  Please, feel free to send me PMs if you have any additional thoughts or questions on the story.  Sometimes the things readers bring up make me realise something I may need to include or clarify, or even influence the direction some subplots take.  It's always a pleasure.Cheers!

This is in my inbox, reminding me to read.  I will get to it, I promise!  In the meantime, I'll just leave you this note.  I'm moving next weekend, so insanity has become a way of life.  Hope you're well!  I miss reading your stories in queue!!

Response from R J Lupins Kat (Author of The Voice of All the Gods)

You're so sweet!  Worrying about my little scribbling whilst dealing with moving (a terror all its own!).I do miss our little chats over the stories - if you'd like, feel free to e-mail me with anything you don't want to put in a review (questions and such).  I'd love to know what you're thinking.Please have a safe and relaxing move.  Well, as relaxing and organised as it can be, eh?  Look forward to hearing from you. Cheers!

Once again, you have given me the best read I've had in awhile.  Your work has a great voice, something I require to keep me reading.  Along with fleshed-out characters, which you have in spades.On top of that, I'm half in love with the arrogant prat, and I'm a cynical old hag. ;)  Tia is fabulous - fiery and strong and yet vulnerable in her way.  I can't wait to see where this goes.

Response from R J Lupins Kat (Author of The Voice of All the Gods)

I'm grinning non-stop with such wonderful compliments.  Thank you!  You know, I, too am rather cynical and jaded, and like you find myself adoring Regulus, though whether that be due to his arrogance or in spite of it, I'm not sure.Thank you - I do adore Tia.  Part of what has helped me flesh her out is my portrayal of her in our online RPG, so I've had some time to really work on her personality and background.  She truly is fiery, but as you've said, can be quite vulnerable.  Aces at Defence, pants at Charms.   Regulus gets to her in a number of ways, and though she wants him, she finds the image and the man-child two very different realities.  However, that's not to say a compromise can never be met.  heeheeheeThanks, again!

Oooh ... he was caught.  LOL!  I am waiting for the day she lets him have it.  He needs his priorities rearranged: less Sirius, more Tia.

Response from R J Lupins Kat (Author of The Voice of All the Gods)

Hahahah!Um, yes.  But the actual situation might surprise you a bit.  There will come a day she will completely let him have it, but sadly 'tis not quite this day.  Definitely.  He'll get his priorities straight - it just takes him a while.  Stubborn male, arrogant Black, one-track minded Slytherin. Thanks for the review!

I think reading TVN gives one a greater appreciation for Regulus.  However, even without that story, I think I would still feel connected and sympathetic of his character with how you wrote this chapter.  I really do like the exploration of different characters and their relationships.  Maybe because the characters were never developed by JKR and therefore give the fanfic author more leeway because they are doing the character development.Anyway, good job at developing Regulus. I am looking forward to more.

Response from R J Lupins Kat (Author of The Voice of All the Gods)

Thank you!  Yes, I agree; when JKR leaves characters so thinly written, it leaves them fairly well open to be developed as the writer wishes to do so.  Regulus is such a wonderful goldmine of a character to develop, still staying within the bounds as she had written him (of course, with the change in his 'ending'), yet allowing for so much alteration and growth.I'm very glad you enjoyed the opening chapter, and hope you will find the following ones worth the wait.Thanks, again.  Your encouragement and approval mean loads to me.

Oooh!  Not only do we have hot kisses, teen struggle for control of of their reactions (futile that, but they will try), and denial of quite obvious UST, but we ALSO get the start of a Black brothers brawl?  Write faster!

Response from R J Lupins Kat (Author of The Voice of All the Gods)

hahaha... the writing's been slow as of late, but I shall seek to chug along a bit more quickly. Just recall that not all things are as they appear, which, I suppose, is the point, eh?  And Reg and Tia's situation - each has a lot to learn and experience, in life-changing ways.Thank you for the wonderful review!

Oh, well done!  While it was unkind to leave the chapter there, it does make me hungry for the next one.

Response from R J Lupins Kat (Author of The Voice of All the Gods)

*chuckles*It was necessary to leave the chapter there, for the next will take off into a slightly different direction.  But of course, it doesn't hurt that the ending encourages you to come back for more. heeheeSeriously, I'm glad you're taking to the story and that your interest is piqued.  Now, it is up to me to keep there, eh?Thank you for the wonderful reviews thus far!

The tension is superb and your writing brilliant.  Excellent story.

Response from R J Lupins Kat (Author of The Voice of All the Gods)

I'm blushing!  Thank you!This story is actually a sort of 'follow up' for The Valiant Never, Sirius' story.  It really helped to develop Reg's character through that story to prepare it for this one.I'm very glad you're enjoying this.

Classic misunderstanding, but handled originally.  I have no idea why I like your uptight, brooding Regulus, but I do.

Response from R J Lupins Kat (Author of The Voice of All the Gods)

Thank you!  Yes, typical misunderstanding, but I promise it shan't be there for long.  It's more a motivator or catalyst rather than plot point, so have no fear of its droning on. lol... yes, well, you know he would be brooding and moody with parents and upbringing like that, eh?  But I've also woven in (and have shown only glimpses thus far) that vulnerability and misgivings in his character, more of which will show later.  Promise he won't be all grouch.  There's more to him than Sirius played him to be, or even that Sirius believed him to be.  Ah, the failings of youth!

Wow, I know your Regulus from TVN, but I just have to say I'm really impressed with what you've done with Hestia Jones.  Admittedly, she is a bit of a 'freebie' character, but those are the best kind! :)  Anyway, my point (I do have one) is that this is well written and compelling.  I'm looking forward to more!

Response from R J Lupins Kat (Author of The Voice of All the Gods)

Wow, thank you!  I don't get much feedback on this story - not really a 'favourite pairing' with most people - so it's even more exciting than usual to receive some, especially so lovely as yours.   Yes, Hestia is a bit of a freebie, but I'm going to try and make her as fleshed out as possible so that you will, by the end, think of her as canon.  I can only hope.Thanks, again!

Oh, poor Remus, everyone's therapist! Loved it! Saltwater of shame is my new favorite euphamism by the way. 

Response from R J Lupins Kat (Author of The Voice of All the Gods)

Remus is just one of those really 'talk-to-able' guys, ya know?  Got to love him.Thanks!  Sometimes those phrases just sort of materialise...  I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Why thank you!  *blushes*I've another chapter to post, and will try to do so tomorrow if I can find a moment.  Hopefully you will find it fulling as well, with a strong need to know more due to the nature of conversations involved.Thank you for continuing with the story; your words are encouragement that cannot be welcomed enough.Cheers!

How did Reg put a warming charm on the wall if he didn't have his wand?  Can he do wandless magic?the last bit, with Tia taunting Reg--wonderful.  I love it :)

Response from R J Lupins Kat (Author of The Voice of All the Gods)

Ah, Reg is a Black; they learn early and well (though, really, Sirius has more talent than Reg, but Reg is by no means incapable).  Wandless magic, however, he has limits in doing.  Plus, the settee and such - he was making plans for when Lystra returned.  These are things he was going to do so that her attention would be on him (once he got his wand back).Tia likes to push him - against better judgement - but she sometimes bites off more than she can chew.  Such will be seen in subsequent chapters.Thank you!kat

I love the whole opening to this chapter, how hestia really isn't scared of him, and doesn't let her attraction get in the way of giving reg a piece of her mind.also was james serious about the platypus??

Response from R J Lupins Kat (Author of The Voice of All the Gods)

Thank you. Tia's fighting a losing battle on that aspect - she finds Reg more and more irresistible, and the problem is that such an attraction is not beneficial to her health (or peace of mind).haha - um, yeah, he was serious abut the roast.  Thanks, again, for a lovely review.  I've still got even more chapters to post (I'm behind on posting; moreso than being behind on writing).Cheers,kat

I love their banter! Even more so the self-doubt each expresses (in their own way) after particularly heated run-ins.  The characters are so human and their motives natural expressions of that.  I feel that really showed in this chapter.  Needless to say, I'm loving it! :D  Great job!

Response from R J Lupins Kat (Author of The Voice of All the Gods)

Thank you!  Yes, I do try to make them as realistic as possible.  Even the haughty Regulus Black has fears and other passions that drive him and influence his decisions.  Part of him is taken with her rebelliousness - the fact she doesn't cower before him - whether or not he'll admit it.And Tia... she can't decide if he is merely frustrating as a boy, or if there is even more to him than she noticed the past summer.  It stresses her logical mind. Thanks, again!

Lovely poetical prose, layering on more stylised rapport between them--yes, I do hope Hestia can be strong and sure, but Regulus seems quite certain in his skills this time, to see his plans fulfilled utterly. Looking forward to more!

10/10

nagandsev

Yes, Regulus had enough of the overdone etiquette from her, seems he has had enough and is questioning the social conventions expected on all levels; Hestia's trying very hard to be what she thinks he expects her to be--the last part has an intimate dream-like quality to it--lovely chapter!

10/10

nagandsev

Love the continued build-up and angst--on all sides! Mmm,  Sirius is literally getting in his face and pushing his luck--can't wait to see what happens!

10/10

nagandsev

In vino veritas moment there at the end... I wonder how he will respond--it seems Regulus' is discovering more than he ever knew he could with Hestia--whether sober or not. Reading on!
