    Summary

    “Mr. Stark,” Peter squeaks against a background of whooshing wind, clearly mid-swing.
    “Yeah, what’s up, kid?”
    “Did you listen to, uh… Which voicemails did you hear?”
    “None of them, give me a recap. Twenty seconds max.”
    “Okay, okay, okay. I found an alien glowy thingy and I would like to say that I know for sure that it won’t blow up, but I don’t, because it really looks like it might blow up.”
    “Kid. For the love of— Are you carrying it around?”
    “Uuuhhh,” Peter says, like he’s really looking for a reason to say ‘no’. “Yes…?”

    Summary

    With the war gearing up to begin again, the Dark Lord running rampant, and a ministry official wearing (shudder) pink taking over the school, Severus Snape just knows this year will be one of the worst in his life. At least there’s the mystery of the new History professor to keep him distracted. Why does the new professor simultaneously terrify and intrigue him? And what’s with his strange friendship with Potter? Should he be concerned the man might be an assassin? Should he help him?

    Summary

    They should’ve come for us already.

    I’m scared to even hope that maybe Snow canceled the Games. Or at the very least postponed them.

    According to the clock, it’s eleven in the morning when the door to my room finally opens.

    Effie comes in, her eyes filled with tears.

    I sit up. “What happened?”

    She looks between me and Peeta. With her voice shaking, she says, “There was an accident…well, no, it wasn’t an accident…District Twelve…it’s all gone.”

    Summary

    Peter never made any plans to run away, until the day he leaves. It isn’t an idea that slowly creeps up on him. He just stands over the sink one day in early spring, watching his father’s bright red ashtray bob up through the soap bubbles, and feels an overwhelming urge to get the hell out of this place.
    Two years later. Tony Stark has been keeping his identity as Iron Man a secret, successfully hiding behind his spoiled, rich asshole persona. It’s isolating, but he doesn’t even like people anyway, so it’s fine, he’s fine, he’s great. And then he gets saddled with a new intern, who isn’t just hiding secrets: he’s barely holding it together.
