Summary
Enjolras, a law student on one of the most prestigious colleges on Paris, feels empty. He has a feeling there much more important things in life; it certainly is not love, for he does not believe in it. He is waiting for something, a "flash" he likes to call it, to make him feel alive.
Éponine is a girl who has "day-by-day" life. She lives on edge, not on her consent, but she tries to make the best of it. She wants many things, most often those goes to her father, but barely has what she needs. 'Ponine knows she is not the brightest or most honorable, she just wishes life was fairer with her.
Written on both characters point of view.

Summary
"NEVER GROW UP AND NEVER GROW OLD AND NEVER GIVE IN, JUST THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS AND FLY, DAMMIT," was our credo. We lived free and we partied hard under Peter's reign, we ran through the forests and never looked back and never, never, NEVER saw Peter grow up. He was forever young, he could fly, he could still grin like a child as a seventeen-year old. We lived with him in Neverland, but we also lived with our parents in Kings Landing, Oregon. I was just trying to find the space in between. My name is Wendy Darling, and this isn't Peter's story. This is mine.

Summary
Rock star Adam Lambert needs a break. Lane once mentioned a volunteer group she worked with in the past, and told him how rewarding it was. Adam remembers that when he's thinking of places to hide and recharge his batteries, so he has Lane sign him up.
Adam wonders if he's gotten more than he'd bargained for - Haiti is hotter than he'd imagined (his make-up melts off his face) and he'd take a shower twice a day if his tent (or the camp it was in) had running water, but then Adam meets the man in charge of the group of volunteers he's a part of.
Kris is no stranger to helping others, he's been on several mission trips since starting college. This time though Kris needed to get away so he could think: it's time to decide whether he wants to keep on playing music in bars and producing his own records that sell 10 copies, or if he wants to get married and settle down.
Kris thinks there's only one path to follow: the same path his father took. He'd given his music a chance, now it was time to be an adult and grow up. But then Adam Lambert shows up in his little group of volunteers, and shows Kris that there's another path. Will Kris be brave enough to walk the path that leads to happiness in Adam's arms?
