Summary
Regulus Black is young, ambitious, and absolutely on track to become Prime Minister – until his ex-boyfriend James Potter is unexpectedly handed the keys to Number 10. Suddenly, Regulus's smooth rise to power is sabotaged by chaotic press conferences, suspiciously photogenic opponents, and the world’s most annoying man grinning at him across the debate stage.
James, for his part, is doing his best to juggle a collapsing party, a scandal-hungry press, and the fact that he may or may not still be in love with the sharpest man in Parliament. Who also may or may not be actively trying to ruin his life. Again.
Cue slightly unhinged political tactics, emotional blackmail via War and Peace, and a secret affair so poorly timed it could potentially tank the British economy.

Summary
James knows he should be happy - or at least as happy as someone who's 19 and involved in a war can be. He has the girl of his year-long dreams, a flat with the best friend he could ever hope for, and he's fighting for what is right. Despite all that, something is missing. Unfortunately, finally figuring it out only leads to a bigger mess. Fortunately, sometimes even a mess can lead to good things in the end.
Sirius has never really set the bar at happiness per se, but he always thought that getting to leave his family behind, living with James, and watching his friends be happy would be more than enough. As it turns out, family is never as far away as one wants it to be, friendships can be fickle things, and happiness is a very subjective emotion. But if Sirius was ever good at anything, it was at fighting for what he loves.
Or - as if leaving school, figuring out their lives, and fighting in a war wasn't already enough, things really start getting complicated when both Sirius and James have some unexpected epiphanies, the Order realizes they have a traitor in their midst, and Regulus Black turns up on Sirius' and James' doorstep, soaking wet and asking for help.

Summary
From the outside, it may look like James Potter has everything one needs to be happy. An abundance of talent, a prestigious job, a beautiful wife, an adorable child. So why can’t he let go of the past? Why does he still see silver eyes and a crooked smile when he dreams at night?
It's been six years. Six years since Sirius Black left England. He practically ran away from the country and hasn’t stopped running since. When he has to return to parts of his old life, he tries his best not to dwell on the past.
What luck then, that the past is one of the first people he runs into.

“What, so the French sent a cursed Curse-breaker?”There is humour in James’ voice, signalling that this isn’t meant to insult, merely falling into the way they always used to talk to each other. It’s almost too easy reciprocate, to answer with banter that still feels too familiar and pulls at Sirius to be released. He bites his tongue.
“I can assure you, cursed or not, I am still excellent at my job, Auror Potter,” he says pointedly.
