Summary
On April 1st 2019, the world ended.
Icarus had indeed flown too close to the sun when Five Hargreeves pushed the limits of his power. The boy desperately yearned to use his powers to time travel and when he succeeded, he found himself trapped in the future apocalypse. Octavia Maddenfield had spent her whole life hiding her ability to shield and protect, only for it to save her when an asteroid collided into the earth, effectively wiping out all of humanity.
The two teenagers are ecstatic to find that they are no longer alone in the apocalypse, however they must learn to navigate their newfound dynamic as Five tries to time travel back to the past and stop the end of the world from ever happening. Octavia is intrigued by the boy's sarcastic demeanour but also incredibly frustrated by his secretive nature, especially towards his past. And Five despises how easy Octavia can make him vulnerable, he tells himself that he cannot become invested in their obvious connection but something about her is so undeniably captivating.

Summary
"The years and days were hard to track. He sincerely tried; he found journals, dirt covered, pages torn out. He would write tally marks within them to mark each day, but he didn’t know what year he was in, nor what month, or day of the month.
Sometimes, he would find diaries and journals that people had actually written in. The first time he found a diary in an abandoned house that was probably too unstable for him to be in, he felt a little guilty to be reading it.
He quickly sobered when he found a dead body in the busted-up kitchen, especially when the diary said they felt lonely living here by themselves."
One shot. Five finds various mementos in the apocalypse that remind him of his family-- sometimes at the cost of injuring him.
He really does miss them. -

Summary
Five could drive himself mad with the equations, with the millions of numbers racing through his brain. He could calculate it how ever he liked, break it down into whatever increments he wanted, no matter how big or small, but it would never change the outcome. He would never get a different answer, no matter how badly he wanted to.
It would never change the fact that it was December 25th, 2019.
It was Christmas.

Summary
He thought the worst had happened. He’d been angry, at his father for making him feel weak, at Luther for always being Perfect Number One, at the whole damn world because he knew he was better than them all, he always had been. He’d been angry, and then he’d time traveled into an apocalyptic wasteland.
