    Summary

    On the occasion of his third Reaping as a victor, Finnick reflects on his life and on the price of his victory. Caught between a Capitol that forces him to be its plaything and a District 4 that shuns him as a disgrace, he needs the love and guidance of his mentor to show him a way forward.

    Summary

    “Mags was right. It’s not the arena anymore. But it might as well be.”

    Winning the Games is supposed to mean freedom. For Finnick Odair, it’s only the beginning.

    In District 4, where participating in the Hunger Games is considered as honorable as helping a fellow fisherman haul in the day’s catch, a boy’s reckless decision may cost him more than he realizes.

    Armed with a trident and a winning smile, fourteen-year-old Finnick survives the brutal jungle arena of the 65th Hunger Games, becoming Panem’s youngest victor of all time. On the surface, he seems like the typical Career — brave, ruthless, and cunning. But underneath, he struggles to accept that what he’s been taught may not be the complete truth.

    Meanwhile, President Snow begins to take a disturbing interest in his newest victor. The Capitol celebrates him as the golden boy. Charming. Fearless. Impossibly beautiful. But there’s always something lurking beneath the waves. Something Finnick only understands once it’s too late to turn back.

    Because in Panem, winning the Games doesn’t mean you’re free. It just means you’re valuable enough for people to take an interest.

    Summary

    Eddie did his best. He really did. And the truth was that his best killed him.

    But when an opportunity to side-step death presents itself, Eddie can’t help but take it. Who wouldn’t? But supernatural death deals come with prices as much as power, and if Eddie’s going to help everyone survive Vecna’s final reign of terror he’s got to come to terms with both. And quickly, or he might lose everything, including himself.

    And it would be so much easier if Steve wasn’t wrapped up in it all with him.

    On hiatus.

    Summary

    "Okay," Eddie says at last, voice betraying his cool demeanor. "I'll go first." He clears his throat, folds his hands politely in his lap. "I have never been more confused in my life than when I'm with you. And I've taken trig three times and I'm still not a hundred percent on what a hypotenuse is, so, like, it's not difficult to confuse me or anything. But you really take the cake, man."

    Steve chews on his lip. "Sorry? I'm... confused too."


    two dudes navigate their feelings in the most normal way possible.

    Summary

    “Steve, that doesn’t make any sense,”

    Aggressively dismissing their protests with repetitive hand gestures, Steve stands from the camper-vans built in seats, speaking in the way he usually did when the kids were trying to put themselves in the line of fire. “Yes, it does. Out of everyone here, I’ve suffered the least.”

    He allows for a pause, just in case anyone argues. They don’t.

    In which Steve is adamantly against using Max as bait for Vecna after everything; going above and beyond to make sure she never has to live through that ever again.

    Even if that means taking her place.

    (He doesn’t anticipate Jason Carver finding them there.)

    ((Or the discoveries that come when a demon is rifling through your head for the worst times of your life. Ones you may not even remember.))

    Summary

    So he has to keep his distance. Because both these chuckleheads look hungry. Not in a bashful way like he’d actually appreciate as long as they stayed scarce, but in a starved shark way. An animal way.

    And Steve doesn’t know if he can handle one bloodthirsty animal. Let alone two.

    A metal sandwich fic where everyone's mean, the lust is loud, and no one is safe.

    Summary

    It had been two and a half months since the end of Spring Break.

    Eddie had been cleared of all charges, The Byers were back in Hawkins like they’d never left, Vecna was dead and gone, and everything was back to normal; or rather as back to normal as Hawkins could get.

    Unfortunately for one Steve Harrington, his new normal seemed to be not only his inability to get a date, but also his newfound proclivity towards staring at Eddie Munson’s mouth while he dramatically narrated during a five hour Hellfire session, or counting the freckles on the bridge of his nose, or memorizing the patterns in his honey coloured eyes.

    What the fuck was wrong with him?

    (Now with Eddie’s pov added!)

    Summary

    Scoops Ahoy.

    America’s favorite place to cool down, and quite possibly the lamest summer job under the blazing Indiana sun.

    Especially if you were former High School royalty, brutally rejected by each and every university you’d applied to and promptly cut off by your shitty parents in an effort to teach: “some goddamned responsibility.”

    Between accidentally intercepted secret Russian communications, a meddling preteen matchmaker with no collarbones, and increased proximity with Eddie ‘The Freak’ Munson, a measly $3 an hour plus tips is nowhere near enough to deal.

    Summary

    As if being the designated babysitter wasn't enough, Steve finds himself accidentally becoming the group's designated birthday baker. Not that he minds - he likes to feel needed, plus it's a good distraction from the nightmares that have plagued him since that fateful night at the mall.

    He does mind, however, the fact that Billy Hargrove seems to be weaving his way into the group. He's apparently had a personality transplant since the Mind Flayer nearly tore him apart, or so the story goes, but Steve isn't duped. It's fine, though, he can carry on ignoring the guy and ignoring the way his face still tingles with the ghost of Billy's fists.

    But then, get this.

    Steve has to bake Billy a birthday cake, too.

    Summary

    Three shots ring out.

    Steve hears them before he feels them; a warm, wet pain burning in his torso, intolerably excruciating.

    There’s a bundle of squawks and screams, outbursts of panic and anger, and it’s only when Hopper falls forwards to take Steve up into a slightly rough, protective hold, does he realize that two of those shots have lodged themselves in his own flesh and bone. (Realizes that he’d moved, instinctively, to shield El, despite never having spoken to her, who’d the gun had been so precisely pointed at, aimed for.)

    Steve Harrington watches his own blood pool and trickle over a series of hands pressed against him, small and large, soft and rugged, and for a moment, wants to stay like this. He can’t.

    Summary

    "Did you always love Annie?" "...She crept up on me."

    There is a whole story in between the question and the answer. This is just how I thought it went. The story after "Supposed to Be Here" starts just before the reaping of the 70th Hunger Games, and ends after the 71st.

    This story is part of the “Survivors” universe, but it stands on its own.

    Summary

    A 17-year old Annie Cresta volunteers for the Hunger Games after being fed the promise of honor and wealth all her life. Victory soon turns out to have a high price, but at least meeting Finnick is a silver lining. A bond blossoms between two people who have both been badly hurt by the Capitol, but navigating the maze that Snow has put them in is not easy.

    This spans from the 70th til the 75th Hunger Games, and is told partly from Annie's perspective, and partly from Finnick's.

    Summary

    Burn Butcher Burn is the story of the Capitol through the eyes of Catalina Cain, who’s a lot of things. Most notably: heiress who lived and died by pretty lies, handmaiden to President Snow’s reign of terror, and the leader of his "engineering" team. She’s also Finnick Odair’s friend, and an integral cog in the rebellion, and atoning. A hand of vengeance, instrument of grace; woman, who remembers fireplace ashes and sparklers stuck into cakes.

    AKA: Ashley wanted more Capitol worldbuilding, so goddammit, Ashley's going to provide that.

    Burn Butcher Burn and the story of Catalina Cain originally appeared in two different forms: The Rest Of Us Just Are, a short story-type fic from a defunct zine and The Necromancer's Ballad, which appeared on various Discords throughout the year. Sorry if you liked this, because it's changed a good bit! But at least it's longer now? And yes, that is a Witcher reference. And yes, I am mad that they replaced Henry Cavill. Thank you and goodnight!

    Summary

    Annie and her family had not prepared a token to be taken with her so she boarded the train with a stiff cord that her brother used to tie his own hair back away from his face. It was a short piece that couldn’t be used for anything else so it was allowed. Finnick had halved the cord and wrapped it around Annie’s wrist, securing it with his favorite sailor’s breastplate, seizing the knot so it would remain securely in place but still decorative.

     

    At the time, Annie had traced the knot with her finger and smiled to herself. When Finnick had asked her what was so amusing she only shook her head and told him it reminded her of something her papa had told her once.

     

    He wondered if it was similar to what his own father had told him, about how after the Dark Days for most fishermen there was only rope available to display unions of marriage. They would take cords and use basket weaving knots to decorate their brides’ wrists.
