Summary
Peter could still remember going to the Stark Expo, riding on his father’s shoulders so he wouldn’t miss anything. He remembers his mother’s smile as he rambled about how incredibly amazing all the inventions are, how one day he wants to be a scientist just like Mr. Stark.
Peter remembers the overwhelming joy that rushed through his body as he peered through the eye-holes of his Iron Man mask and watched Mr. Stark appear onstage and introduce these insanely awesome drones to the public.
He remembers how quickly that joy turned to horror as the drones started attacking the crowd.
And now, sitting on the floor in the cold HYDRA cell that he was supposed to call his home, Peter can remember being saved by his hero.
It turns out that was one of the many terrible things to happen that day.
Because what’s the point of staying alive if your life is hell anyway?

Summary
It has been over three years since the Florpus incident and the daily routine between our favorite four had not been disturbed. That is until an ancient evil of anti-cosmic horror had awakened once again along with an army of madness and woe, forcing enemies to become allies and more. ZAGR and DATR. Swear words and violence. Suicide, depression and anxiety are later subjects.

Summary
Oliver enjoyed his quidditch career in his 20’s but now writes for the Daily Prophet. His next project is writing an updated edition of Quidditch Through the Ages.
Whoever said life in your 30’s is better was wrong, though. Oliver finds out his husband cheated on him and is getting divorced. When he hires a law firm to represent him, it turns out he knows one of the managing partners, Marcus Flint. They had a fling together ten years prior when they were both quidditch players and Oliver ended things when the feelings weren't mutual, at least that's what he thought.
Marcus never forgot the wizard he'd had a brief relationship with ten years ago. So when he sees Oliver Wood at work one day, he's unable to stop the hope for another chance and wants to be there in whatever capacity Oliver will allow him to be. He might not have been ready ten years ago, but he is today.
Eventual Flintwood; slow-burn

Summary
He doesn’t look in the mirror beyond a cursory glance in the mornings as he’s dragging himself out of bed, just long enough to be sure that his veneer of professionalism is holding, because frankly, he has nothing if he doesn’t have that. No one’s called him on his slowly slipping standards just yet, and he intends to keep it that way.
But this morning, his gaze lingers just ever-so-slightly longer than he normally allows. And then, his vision catches on—something.
Wilbur wakes up one morning to find white in his hair. This is—irritating, for several reasons, but that's all it is. An annoyance. A distraction.
There's nothing deeper at work here. There's nothing wrong at all.
(Or, the stresses of the presidency give Wilbur a white streak of hair earlier in canon, and somehow, this serves as the cry for help he can never bring himself to make.)

Mikan Tsumiki should be enjoying life, right? Junko Enoshima has chosen her of all people to date, even if their relationship is continuously unstable and leaves her wondering if she's done something wrong to deserve it. Mikan is even attending the most prestigious school in the world, effectively setting her dream job as a successful nurse into motion. Yet, there's a sincere lack of happiness in her life. Perhaps it's due to the bullying she faces and the fact she is apparently the universe's doormat.
Whatever the cause, Mikan can only wish she was a little bit stronger...
[Or a look into the life of The Ultimate Nurse who, despite there being no world-ending despair, is feeling miserable.]

Katsuki was only supposed to buy the ingredients for hot pot, because Eiji asked for it, and what Eiji wanted, Eiji got. In and out, a quick nip down to the combini.
But the one closest to their place didn't have what he needed, so one train-ride later, he was swearing under his breath as the driving typhoon rain hurried his steps back home.
