    Summary

    Five years after Hiccup flees Berk to avoid having to kill the Monstrous Nightmare, Drago Bludvist is knocking down Berk's door. He never expected to see the others again, let alone for them to ask for his help. Only, they didn't know it was him. They knew him as the mysterious dragon rider with the Night Fury and their only hope at saving Berk.

    Drago was coming after Berk because of Hiccup, which meant that this war was his responsibility. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third was about to come back to life in the eyes of everyone in Berk. But now he was stronger, faster, older, taller, more confident, and a great fighter. He could take down Drago Bludvist, it was his father he was worried about. And Astrid Hofferson. The two scariest people on Berk.

    Summary

    Joel Miller had never stepped out of line.

    He had listened and done exactly what Coriolanus Snow expected of a Victor. When he was told to smile, he smiled. When summoned for interviews or propaganda spots, he showed up clean-shaven and compliant. When his body was auctioned off to the highest bidder, he walked into hotel rooms and did what he was told. He had played the game.

    So when Sarah Miller’s name was drawn for the 48th annual Hunger Games, Joel Miller nearly fell to his knees.

    And 20 years later, the hardened man is drawn out of his shell when he mentors Ellie Williams in the 68th Annual Hunger Games.

    Summary

    After becoming District 12's escort at the age of twenty-two, Effie Trinket is forced to work alongside Haymitch Abernathy, the embittered sole survivor of the Second Quarter Quell. Both fractured by hidden traumas, their resentment of each other becomes complicated by their mutual longing for human connection.

    Content: Most pivotal to this story is the theme of trauma. One significant plot point is Effie's backstory as a victim of childhood sexual abuse. This will never be shown graphically - however, allusions will be made to the nature of her abuse & how it continually affects her as an adult. There will be canon-typical violence, substance abuse, disordered eating, self harm, & dystopian atrocities. There will also be sexual content.

    I also post about this fic on my Tumblr (incubationformadness).

    Summary

    Two years after the end of the rebellion, Effie's psychiatrist suggests she visit District 12 to address and heal her self-hatred and guilt due to her part in the Games. Effie finds she's not the only one struggling with guilt in District 12.

    Post Mockingjay, and Sunrise on the Reaping compliant (sort of). So don't read if you haven't read it yet because spoilers!

    Slowburn Haymitch/Effie.
