    Summary

    Sometimes being a superhero isn’t really about the big epic battles to save the world; sometimes it’s about the quieter moments before, after, and in between. Eddie is a former sidekick taking on a bigger mantle after his uncle’s retirement. Steve is the genetic offspring of the world’s greatest hero and said hero’s greatest enemy, trying to live up to a legacy he only partially understands. Over the course of several years, they move in and out of each other’s lives, for better or worse, until they eventually reach the path to their happy ending.
    Or:
    It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single Batman must be in want of a Superman.

    Summary

    When they get to the room that’s supposed to be his, Alex’s luck runs out.

    Leo and his mom go inside first. Alex pushes the door open behind them, steps one foot into the room, and freezes.

    Because someone is already in there. A tall, faintly transparent, glowing someone, sitting on the ledge of the windowsill on the far side of the room, one knee pulled up toward his chest with his arms loosely wrapped around it, the other leg dangling down to the floor.

    ******

    All Alex wants is to spend a relaxing summer in England with his family. There's just one catch - he can see ghosts, and Henry is haunting his bedroom.

    Summary

    He can’t hang out with the boys, but he hates going home too. He hates being alone in his new flat, terrified that his dad will find out where he lives now and send them after him again. He’s taken to hanging round the club after training. He’ll find a quiet place to sit, pull out his book, and settle in for as long as he can before the stadium locks up for the night and he's forced to leave.

    He’s onto the 34th book to read before you die — Emma — and is surprised by how much he likes it. In comparison to his own drama, gentle scandals and gossip are a nice escape. Today’s reading location is the boot room. The new kitman has some magic way of making it smell of lavender instead of sweaty feet, and if Jamie puts a couple of towels on the bench, it makes a nice pillow to sit on.

    Mr Knightley is in the middle of yet another stern lecture — in his head, Knightley looks a lot like Roy, but he's not sure Keeley quite fits as Emma — when the door bangs open. Jamie jumps and is surprised to see Keeley standing there instead of Will, a guilty look on her face.

    After a traumatic event Jamie falls apart, then puts himself back together again. He does the hard work, but he has a little help.
