Summary
When Maverick takes off in Darkstar against orders, he's left with far too much time to contemplate the near-inevitable end of his career. Worse still is the thought that Admiral Cain would like nothing more than to kill off not just his flying career, but manned aircraft development across the Navy. To paraphrase the great American philosopher Jimmy Buffet, apparently "occupational hazard" means his occupation's just not around.
(alternatively titled "Maverick has an existential crisis at 70,000 feet")

"We were girls, you see, not even women, just girls, most of us when we started. And the boys were just boys, not men, most of them."
Rio and Jenou return to Gedwell Falls after the war, but it's not the same town they left, and maybe they've changed too.

Summary
After years in Azkaban and a brief house arrest, Draco Malfoy was released unto a world clamoring for his presence- which, gave him pause.
He was of the understanding that the good guys won?
Without the Dark Lord serving as the nucleus of the resistance, the various factions of evil ran amok, and in turn “the good” was doing its best to fumble the win.
It all mattered not, to Draco. His future and freedom was unencumbered by any agenda other than abject hedonism. When such revelry grew stale, he had the perfect remedy.
Death!
Or so he thought.

Summary
It’s 2008 and Draco Malfoy is a secret assassin. It's legitimate - he gets paid for it, and some higher ups in the Ministry (probably?) know he’s out there… killing people. He’s quite good, but that tracks with his dubious accounting of rights and wrongs and his penchant for self-preservation. During his downtime he does a great job of acting like a pureblood in penance... mostly by drinking and shagging his way into oblivion.
This double life helps to numb Draco to the constant feelings of shame and guilt from his formative years in which he was an utter cunt- but everything is upended when his team (assassins can have coworkers, alright?) dies in action and he does not. Suspended and forced to go to therapy, Draco is adrift.
When Hermione Granger re-enters the fray, their hateful relationship that was once fraught with swotty bickering (erm, and the occasional slur) is suddenly tense in a very different way.
How will these two come together? How often will Theo say something terribly charming? Do we hate Ron or is Ron just, meh? Oh, and what’s going on with that one murderous witch who’s out to kill them all (forgot to mention that part…)?
Find out all this and more in: A HARD ROW TO HOE!

Summary
“So,” Mom says one weekend afternoon as she and Robin stare down the Sunday Times crossword, huddled together on the porch swing, “you and Steve Harrington sure have been living in each other’s pockets lately.” She puts down the pen and gives Robin a carefully-probing smile disguised as a teasing one. “Anything you wanna tell me?”
Yeah; I’m gay, Robin thinks. Her throat constricts painfully. “I—you’d know if I were dating someone,” she says instead.

Summary
Relationships have to start somewhere. Or, once you've jumped into a garbage chute with people you kind of either decide to like them or you don't.
Basically, Han and Leia from trying-not-to-think-about-her to declarations of love at the least convenient times. (ANH through just after the end of ROTJ)
