    Summary

    The war did not have two sides. The war did not end that Halloween night. The war will return. A whole generation may not be there to see the fruits of their labor, but their children will see their ghosts to victory.

    Harry and his friends find help, and answers, and more questions. Not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    “Braids?”

    Davos’ lip curled merrily as he hooked a tendril of Aeron’s hair from his crown. He wound it lazily around one finger, and Aeron tried to ignore how the others brushed infinitesimally quickly against his cheekbone. He was almost nose to nose with the Blackwood boy, and although the rational part of his mind was screaming that he should be putting his dagger to use, his muscles seemed to have lost their connection to his brain. Just as he was beginning to process what was happening, Davos let go (although not before giving the strand a small, but painful, tug) and patted Aeron, almost companionably, on the cheek.

    Summary

    He smiles, all teeth, “Come on Replacement, I even got to the door with both legs busted. This should be nothing.”

    “You’re right. Jason… Jason wouldn’t have given up. He would fight, I can still—“

    The boy wobbles, and Jason has to suppress the mortifying impulse to jump to his aid.

    “I can still fight. Batman needs me.”

    “That’s a terrible idea,” he muses aloud, and if there’s a hint of real concern somewhere under all the roiling green, well, nobody can prove it.

    Summary

    The first two nights, Harry sleeps like the dead— or, well, maybe that's not the best comparison, given the number of inferi attacks reported lately.

    He sleeps like a log. Like a dead log. An un-re-animated dead log. From an everyday, inanimate, non-whomping tree.

    After that, Harry wakes up screaming more nights than not, and he even cries on the bad ones, which makes James cry too. In this regard, James reckons that his first week of parenting a full-grown teenage adult bears an awful lot of resemblance to parenting a newborn baby. He feels both blessed and terrifyingly out of his depth.

    Summary

    The war was over.

    Or at least that’s what the papers said.

    They’d been saying it, for months, as if people needed reminding.

    Maybe they did.

    ***

    In which Harry and Draco both run away from their pasts and conveniently choose to hide in the same tiny American town.

    It's super.
