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")

Future Lucy and Future Wyatt arrive with a plan to get Rufus back. But that's not all they're after, and five years is a lot of secrets to keep... especially when it becomes evident rather quickly that they're not alone in that Lifeboat.

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?
