    Summary

    He was her last remaining son. And the heir to the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black.

    Of course Walburga didn’t leave him to rot in Azkaban.

    Or the one where Sirius finds himself back in Grimmauld Place getting painful answers to the questions he'd been too proud to ask, with a mother he doesn't know how to talk to, raising a godson who refuses to talk at all. At least Moony's here, only it makes him cry to see how good he is with Orion.

    Summary

    They haven’t been back to the Falls since the summer they turned thirteen -- since Stan and Ford took off on the world adventure fifty years in the making, since Dipper and Mabel packed up their belongings and promised they’d be back soon. See you next summer stretches into six long years, post cards, the occasional phone call. A broken promise only mended by Dr. Pines’ sabbatical.

    Their parents offer to take them along, of course -- complete the last month of high school over correspondence, in a villa on the Amalfi coast. Mabel and Dipper both opt to stay home with Grandpap Shermie, who takes out-of-focus photos of their graduation before setting off on his own adventure, fixing up the old apartment in Glass Shard Beach with his new girlfriend.

    When Stan and Ford phone to congratulate them, the call comes from the Shack’s number. The invitation is extended and accepted without thought. One last summer, just like old times.

    [Things change, things stay the same, and just like always, they're saving the world.]

    Summary

    “So you are drinking again.” Katniss stated flatly.

    His silence acted as confirmation enough.

    “Is this because of what happened to Effie?” she pushed.

    Still he had nothing to say. He hoped the subject would be dropped if he just kept on walking and refused to acknowledge her.

    “If she were here, she would be disappointed to know–”

    He stopped dead in his tracks, unable to hold his tongue any longer.

    “Well that’s the goddamn point! She’s not here!” he shouted.

    His hands clenched into fists so tight he was sure blood had been drawn.

    “She should be nagging me to clean the house, or to paint the bedroom her favorite shade of purple, or make room in my closet for all of her ridiculous outfits!”

    He looked up for a moment at the clouds overhead, still grey, still threatening to pour down upon them at any moment without mercy.

    “It’s supposed to be her job to go out in the rain and talk about boy problems. She should be here. She should have survived, not me! But just like every woman I ever..."

    He hesitated.

    "Like every woman I ever loved, she had to go and die. So yeah I reached for the bottle again… I let everyone down… again.."

    Summary

    "Eyes bright, chins up, smiles on. Never let them see the destruction." Fourteen years after his victory, Haymitch has become a young alcoholic. The 64th Hunger Games are approaching, and District 12 unexpectedly gets a new escort: Effie Trinket. Gullible, enthusiastic, and conceited, she is the Capitol's perfect puppet. But is she really? The more time Haymitch spends in her presence, the more his firmly held view of the Capitol and its residents suddenly begins to falter. Because one thing is certain: Effie Trinket has big plans for District 12, and a pessimistic victor will not stop her from achieving them. // This is the prequel to my fanfiction "Figure It Out" (no knowledge necessary) and tells the story of how the worlds of an overly happy, naive Capitol and a hopeless victor collide for the first time.

    Summary

    "I'll tell you what, Penelope. If you go into the arena, and you win this whole thing? Once you get home, he'd be crazy not to go out with you! Right everyone?"

    The crowd cheered uproariously.

    "Thank you, but... I don't think winning would help me at all."

    "And why is that?"

    "Because," Penelope paused and swallowed, then lifted her chin as her eyes cut to the side of the stage. "He came here with me."
