    Summary

    The boy on the banner looked down at him with eyes full of hatred and a golden laurel wreath on his head that had been gained with more blood than any other.

    Whenever Seonghwa saw the image of the victor, there was nothing but the memory of that cruel smile as he had slit yet another child's throat. Deeply etched into Seonghwa's memory to forever haunt him.

    And the knowledge that he could never bring himself to do what Kim Hongjoong had done.

     

    Or: When Seonghwa gets reaped to compete in the Hunger Games, he is not only sent to an almost promised grave - he is also assigned to be mentored by the infamous Kim Hongjoong. The victor with the highest kill count in the history of the Hunger Games.

    Summary

    “You’re not actually nervous, are you?” Hongjoong asks. “You’ve done makeup in worse conditions. Remember the car ride to Incheon? No staff, zero lighting, potholes every five seconds.”

    “That was survival,” Seonghwa replies without looking away from the mirror. “This is presentation.”

    Hongjoong raises a brow. “Presentation?”

    Seonghwa dips a finger into a pot of shimmer and gently taps it to the corner of his eye. “You made something for me. I want to do it justice.”

    Hongjoong’s offer to design something custom for Seonghwa slowly unravels the threads holding their friendship in place.

    Summary

    Liam doesn’t think he hit his head on the way down, but the details leading up to their current predicament are a little hazy. He knows four things for sure.

    1.) Theo had refused to explain what he was doing here when Liam asked, and had gone so far as to laugh when Liam suggested he was reverting back to his stalker-ish ways.

    2.) Liam may have thrown the initial punch in their impromptu fistfight, but it was Theo who tackled him to the floor after both their noses got bloodied up.

    3.) Theo had also been the one to connect their mouths.

    4.) Theo isn’t wearing a shirt. Or shoes.

    It’s all very confusing.

    (alternatively: 16k words of liam having a crisis about why theo keeps kissing him and why he keeps kissing him back)

    Summary

    Stiles held both hands out. “She loves it here!”

    “Probably because we treat her right,” Boyd insisted, giving him a look.

    “Again, not my fault,” Stiles argued. “But I will let you berate me to your heart’s content as long as you help fix her so she doesn’t leave me stranded in the boonies.”

    “This whole fucking town is the God damn boonies,” Derek said angrily. Stiles wondered if he had any other settings.

    So far he’d learned confusion and anger. He hoped there was a happy setting in there somewhere.

    Boyd’s gaze cut briefly to Derek, then back to Stiles. “I see you’ve met Derek.”

    “Oh yeah. We are now very close friends,” Stiles said, turning to grin at the Alpha.

    He didn’t look impressed. Also like he was trying to figure out which parts of Stiles were the squishiest and easiest to eat through. That was concerning, he didn’t like that.

    Summary

    Not wanting to think on it too much, Stiles took a step forward and passed his hand between the bars, moving the bleeding side closer to Derek’s mouth.

    “Not too close, he bites.”

    Stiles snatched his hand away just as Derek had been about to lick at it. The snarl he got in response was not comforting.

    “He what?” Stiles asked nervously, turning to Deaton.

    The man looked a little amused. “Don’t worry, only if he doesn’t like you.”

    “Well, he probably hates me, now!” Stiles insisted, turning back to Derek.

    He looked extremely displeased.
