Summary
“Sorry I’m late,” James says, pausing mid-sentence to catch his breath, “I had to take a quick detour.” He doesn’t offer details, clearly thinking this explanation to be sufficient.
Regulus frowns at him. “What are you doing here? You aren't a prefect."
“Don’t be silly,” James says. “I’ve got the badge, see?” He points at his jumper, which, now that Regulus takes a closer look, does indeed have a prefect badge pinned to it. Potter grins. "Just think of this as an opportunity.”
Regulus crosses his arms and lifts an eyebrow. “An opportunity to deduct House Points for impersonation?"
“An opportunity to ask me to invite you for Christmas.”
Or: Regulus never once wonders where Sirius went that night. There’s only one option, and Sirius always did prefer his chosen family over his blood brother. So why is James Potter trying so hard to befriend him now?

Summary
James Potter stands in the middle of a ballroom. He is sipping lukewarm champagne, he is waiting for a break in the conversation, and he is wearing a face that is not his.
Sometime tonight, James will steal something. He doesn’t know what it is yet, but it will change the course of his life forever.
Or: When James goes on an undercover mission for the Order of the Phoenix, the last thing he expects is for an oddly familiar wizard to snatch his target from right under his nose. Things only get more complicated from there.

Voldemort's Second Cousin (three times removed) by TheWomanInGreen
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
Surely, any wizard who knows pureblood circles, knows you’re nothing to someone unless you can name their second cousin three times removed, as well as know exactly who in their family not to mention at dinner. Who was this Dark Lord’s second cousin three times removed? And why was he clearly not mentioning any of his family at dinner?
Regulus realises he might have found a way to make the idea of his joining the Dark Lord as repugnant to his fanatical pureblood mother as it is to him. Unfortunately, especially when it comes to avoiding a war, we often meet our fate on the road we take to avoid it.
