Summary
After Hogwarts, Harry does what's expected-starts a job as an Auror, dates Ginny, gives speeches and definitely doesn’t sick up at crime scenes. It isn’t all work for the Boy Who Lived. He goes to bars with friends, has fun and enjoys life; he’s a shining example to all wizarding kind on moving on. During the day.
And Draco Malfoy? He has plans. He’s getting a job and going to marry a muggleborn, prove to the world that he can change. He’s definitely not fighting with Harry Potter or sicking up on rugs. He’s not letting Potter drag him into bar loos. He’s getting his life together. He is.
Excerpt:
“I’m going now,” Draco said, eyes fixed somewhere between the bed and the window.
Harry was close enough to touch, so he did, reached out and locked his hand around Draco’s left wrist without thinking too much at all. It was on the tip of his tongue to say something, a million things--stay, have a good day, will you be here when I get home, please stay. But his eyes caught on the bookcase next to the door, on the picture of his parents dancing in the swirling snow, and all the words died in his throat. He squeezed that thin, pale wrist and then let go.
And he was alone in the room.

Summary
"Stay away from me!" Peter belted from his crouched stance on the window sill.
"Peter, calm down," Tony pleaded, stretching out his arm as he slowly inched his way toward his petrified kid.
"No, no, no! Stay back! I'm... Dangerous," Peter cried.
"What... What are you talkin about, Pete? You'd never hurt --"
"You don't know. You...you don't know. I can't..." Peter gripped clumps of his hair. Frantic.
" Peter... You need to breathe---"
"Don't! Don't come any closer!"
"...Peter---"
"No, no! I'm not in control!" Peter was suddenly startled, looking around the room like he heard something no one else did. "Get out! Get out of my head!"
And with that, Tony finally stopped. In fact, he took a few steps back.

Summary
Shou had spent a year planning how to take down his father's ridiculous terrorist organization. In the midst of it all, he never considered what would happen in the event that he succeeded.
The world is a lot more complicated without a villain to defeat. Everyone wants Shou to move on, but it's not easy to replace the few people he used to trust with an estranged mother and new friends who have no idea where he came from.
Meanwhile, there’s no shortage of criminals trying to pick up where Claw left off. Between them and a government division set on erasing every esper they find undesirable, has anything even improved?
Perhaps change is more slow and grueling than Shou ever imagined, but everything he did and everything he endured cannot have been for nothing. It just can't.
