Summary
He stared up at the stars. He had always felt drawn toward them, like they were more than just weird glowing things in the sky. Certainly there was more to them when so many littered the darkness.
The moon shone down on Firepaw, his fur becoming a blinding silver with flicks of orange through it as though they were sparks from a fire or stars in his pelt, before returning to normal. Firepaw’s eyes darted around the clearing. Spottedleaf remembered when Featherwhisker announced her apprenticeship. She remembered the spirits of the previous medicine cats surrounding her. She remembered the awe and the fear. She remembered the cheers of the spirits mixing with the cheers of her clan.
Firepaw was to be the next Thunderclan healer.

And Then One Summer Night, I'll Hear Fireworks Outside (And I'll Listen to the Memories as They Cry, Cry, Cry) by SpaceCatLatte

Summary
The plan was simple: set it off in the backyard, freak Mum out, and prove he could be just as wild as Henry. He had pictured her screeching in fright and dropping her baking dish, maybe grounding him for a week, but he would grin through, knowing he had finally left a new mark on his name.
Peter had lit the fuse, heart pounding with a mix of nerves and excitement. But the firework didn’t shoot up like it was supposed to. It hissed and sparked, and before he could react, it exploded into a burst of light and heat, right there on the ground. He froze, the world slowing as the blast roared in his ears. He didn’t even see Henry move, but suddenly his brother was there, shoving him hard to the ground. He hit the grass, momentarily winded, as another crack slit in the air.
Henry screamed, a sound Peter had never heard from him before, raw and jagged. When Peter scrambled up, Henry was on his knees, hands clawing at his face, blood seeping between his fingers. Peter had shouted his name, trying to pull his hands away, but it was no use. Everything after that was a blur; paramedics, flashing lights, Mum sobbing in the ambulance while Peter sat silent, numbly staring at the blood on his hands.
Henry’s blood.

Summary
The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.
“I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”
With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.
This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.
“Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”
