    Summary

    Techno's eyes portrayed something strangely familiar.

    He wasn’t looking at him in malice. He did not point at Tommy and laugh, unlike how some of the other hunters had. Barely able to contain their anticipation at the sight of the ticking clock and Tommy’s collection of wrong answers.

    No, Techno’s eyes refused to leave his own. Ember red carving molded shapes of themselves into petrified blue, and Tommy could finally place where he’d seen that look before.

    It hung off of every street kid in The Pit. Dripped from drugged faces in dingy alleyways at night. He’d seen that look on his very own face, in the harsher of winters or when the lottery grain inevitably ran dry.

    Techno’s eyes read that of raw want.

    And they were currently fixated on Tommy.

    OR:

    An altered AU of the hunger games, in which the all powerful Empire hosts the annual Hunt.

    An event where teen nobles chase down the unfortunate participants to either claim or sadistically kill.

    When Tommy volunteers in place of his best friend, he’s determined to not die off without a fight.

    But what happens when his rebellious attitude accidentally catches the attention of a particularly powerful family.

    Summary

    Waking up inside the world of a rising popular novel after his untimely death, 16-year-old Tommy Shires finds himself in the body of Theseus Borealis De La Norte—the cold and cruel villain destined to die a miserable end. As the only child of the powerful Northern Duke and his wife, Theseus lived a spoiled life of prestige and influence. But Tommy knows all too well how the story ends.

    Desperate to escape the villain’s destined ending, he scrambles to change Theseus’s fate. Yet fate proves itself to be stacked against him. Despite his efforts, he meets the same tragic end the villain Theseus suffers—only to wake up again, seven years in the past, in the body of a 10-year-old Theseus who has yet to cause any harm or trouble. Five years before the main plot of the novel officially begins, thus giving tommy time to rewrite his Ending.

    And this time, Tommy isn’t going to let himself fall to the same ending he—and the villain Theseus—once suffered.

    Summary

    Uncle Phil stands in front of Tommy with an awkward smile plastered to his face. His hair is longer than Tommy remembers, pulled back in a short ponytail. There is several days worth of stubble covering his chin, and his eyes look tired. Not the sort of tired that someone acquires from days without sleep, but a deeper tiredness. A weariness of the soul.

    Phil is wearing green scrubs as if he'd come to pick up Tommy directly after work. He drops Tommy's luggage down at his side before taking a good look at the boy.

    Phil looks Tommy up and down like adults often do when they haven't seen a kid for years. His uncle recycles the same cheesy line everyone uses, “Wow, you've gotten so big, Toms. You're almost as tall as me.”

    The old nickname sounds strange coming out of his uncle's mouth. The name belongs to a different time, a different decade. Using it now just feels… contrived.

    OR

    Tommy is sent to live with his relatives over summer break while his mom goes through rehab.
