Like the lyrics???

You were kind - young peter

I was cruel - young regulus

In another life maybe I was you - the parallels!!! Of Regulus who never really had a chance after Sirius left, of Peter who had the chance to be so much more.

And I grew up into something good - Peter being seen as ‘good’ after the war because he framed Sirius, and the public deemed him a hero, Regulus being ‘bad’ but ending up dying just to do something good, not even knowing if anyone would find out about it.

Somebody who could swallow love - Peter having all the opportunities, friends, people who trusted him.

I bet you grew up eating at the table - Them both being jealous of each other, Regulus because he never had the familial love Peter did, and Peter because Regulus had the respect that he yearned for, literally ‘eating at the table’ aka death eater meetings.

Fed love from silver spoons - Regulus having the money, the opportunities, being fed money like it was love and Peter being loved so easily and having all these things given to him on a silver platter (also silver?? Like peters silver hand?? Like one of their ship names is literally silverwater??)

Reasons to be grateful - both of them ultimately wanting what the other has got, Peter wanting respect, wanting individuality, wanting to be able to make his own choices, and Regulus wanting love, family and friendship, trust, and being able to make his own choices.

The thing is, they both think each other have all these choices but they don’t. It’s always others telling them what they need to do, and in the end they both combat that by betraying and deflecting, and helping the other side of the war.

I need edits guys 😖
