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")

Summary
He goes to the Bahamas, to America, to Norway. To a rainy England and then back to sunny Australia. He sees them, too. Only puts together names and faces due to that one conversation on a beach. John B, Cleo, Sarah, JJ and Kiara.
He walks into the kitchen and says "maman, I see people and I can see where they live. I can speak to them."
Yvonne Heyward, ever the pragmatist, considers this at length. "Are they friendly? Are they nice to you?"
He confirms they are.
"Well," Yvonne says practically. "Maybe you should be friends. Sit down. I've made soup."

Summary
Draco Malfoy is not, necessarily, a good guy. Maybe he could have been, once, but he chose differently. Some (everyone) might say he chose wrong.
After years in Azkaban and an extended house arrest sentence, he is released unto a world that somehow has only gotten worse while he was away… and rather than fix it, he falls right into step.
Or does he?

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…)?
