    Summary

    As punishment for a failed rebellion against the government of the Ardhalis Union, the Capitol established the Scythe Games in an effort to keep control over its remaining Districts. Broadcast live to the whole country annually, participants of the Games are forced into a brutal fight to the death, the Games ending only when one sole survivor remains.

    When destiny brings Lauren Sinclair and Kieran White into the arena to fight for their lives, the two must learn to put aside their differences and work together if they wish to survive and escape from their deaths. But even with their unlikely alliance, the question still remains: Who can they really trust?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I need other writers to take note. THIS is how you write an AU that's based on an existing story. The way the author blends PH with HG is brilliant and so clever. You can see where she draws inspiration from both stories while managing to make this story stand on its own. It's not just a lazy rewrite of inserting the PH characters into the HG storyline. Lauren isn't Katniss and Kieran isn't Peeta. They're still themselves while sharing attributes to characters from HG. Just so good!

    Summary

    Events take place following episode 158 - Seething Sword.

    After her abduction, Lauren figured she knew what pain felt like. But when her desperate attempt to escape interferes with Kieran's rescue and she finds him in a cage next to her, she discovers what true torment is. Even if they escape, what will be left? Can they rectify the cost of their freedom between each other? Within themselves?

    Lies in bold
    ~~

     

    "She braced as much as her failing body would allow, knowing the few minutes she had clawed for freedom would be ended by just the flex of a finger.

    This is it.

    Alone.

    In darkness.

    It was one of the outcomes she had counted on. She wouldn’t have made it far, but if she died… he would be free. He would have known she fought, and that was comfort enough."

    Summary

    You've Got Mail AU (aka the most ridiculous 90s rom-com that somehow I still love so much) in which Lauren and Kieran begin anonymously exchanging letters several months before they meet in person. Focuses on how this would change canon and the development of their relationship throughout Seasons 1, 2, and the beginning of Season 3.

    This is basically my excuse to speed things along for these two idiots I am so obsessed with.

    Summary

    But her favorite flowers on him were the ones beside his right shoulder, etched onto the very patch of his skin where an X had once been branded upon him and removed by his own hand. Now, in its place, were the two round, white flowers overlapping each other, green leaves protruding from the heart-shaped petals that covered his upper arm—a pair of moonflowers. Their flowers.

    Lauren has never been one to shy away from admiring Kieran's artwork, and the garden embedded into his skin—flowers representing their life, their family, them—may just be her favorite masterpiece.

    In which Kieran refuses to share the king-sized blanket as he claims himself a king, and Lauren is too tired to deal with him.
