    Summary

    The story of Julia Meade, from meeting the love of her life to losing him.

    You will fall in love twice in your life, though you will only have one ceremony. Your second husband, endlessly kind, will meet you for a courthouse wedding on a stormy July afternoon three days before you set off for Sierra Leone.

    Your first husband, a man who told you to forget a name you stubbornly choose to remember, is off in parts unknown when the justice of the peace says, I now pronounce you man and wife. You do not know for sure if he is alive or dead, though of course he is alive; there is no other option.

    Summary

    “I can’t even begin to explain to people who refuse to hear me that this-” She pointed to Anakin. “Will never happen. Not only is he too young, which would be taking severe advantage of my power as his supervisor and my age, it’s forbidden in the code of conduct of the Republic University itself. I’m not putting my entire career on the line. That’s final.”

    “You’re so stubborn.” Sola nearly growled, and Padmè refused to let herself give into her family’s badgering.

    “I have a great life.”

    “No one said you have a bad life, baby.” She felt her mother begin to knead at her shoulders like she did when Padmè came back from ballet. “We just want someone to appreciate our brilliant Padmè just like we do.”

    “I know.” She murmured into her wine flute quietly. “There are a lot of people who appreciate me for who I am.”

    “Like Anakin.” Sola quipped, and Padmè chose to throw an apple slice at her head, which was narrowly avoided.

     

    Or: Padmè wasn't expecting this teaching year to be any different than the others. She definitely wasn't expecting her new graduate assistant to begin a personal crisis, either.

    Summary

    Haymitch has made some bit of an oversight.

    After all, the Capitol wouldn’t waste precious resources torturing their own, would they? Effie Trinket had nothing to do with any of his plans.

    He should have known better. Didn’t he know what they’d done to Cinna?

    --

    An exploration of the war and its aftermath on Effie. Eventual Hayffie. SOTR compliant.

    Summary

    “Yes,” Haymitch answers Peeta, turning to look at Katniss as he adds, “Burdock showed me.”

    Katniss’s eyes snap up from the turkey on the stovetop, and she regards Haymitch with an impassive stare. She doesn’t ask him why he never told her that he knew her father, and he doesn’t offer up an explanation.

    They both know well why.
