Abjekflah! I don't have adequate words to tell you what a fantastic piece this is. So angst-filled and dark and lovely. Oddly, I think my favorite part is the third frame down -- Regulus' lips, and his fingers against his throat, and the word "choking" blurred over it -- gah! Also, that's one amazing cock, and I love his wrist there.
As others have said, the black and white is wonderful here; the shading gives Regulus almost a bruised look, and makes the whole piece more dramatic. The swirls might seem a tad excessive, but the piece would look bare somehow if they were absent, and overall I think I like them. ::nod::
