Summary
“You lied to me,” Astarion snarled.
“I needed you safe!” Tav snapped back, and immediately knew it was a mistake.
Tav doesn't make it to the ladder in time when the party escapes the Iron Throne, and he's left behind to drown. Astarion handles this as well as could be expected-- which is to say, terribly. In which dying actually has consequences, and caring about someone means their reckless disregard for their own well-being isn't that funny anymore.
Series
- Part 3 of Requiems and Recitatives

Summary
Her father hands the phone’s receiver to Johanna. “Honey, Finnick Odair wants to talk to you.”
The teenager can’t help but be surprised, her eyes widening in alarm. “What? But why?”
“The Finnick Odair?” her mother says, equally shocked, “Yeah, that’s a good question.”
Cedric says with a snicker, “Maybe he has the hots for her like the rest of the Capitol—”
His sister cuts him off with a light slap upside his head. “He already has the Capitol wrapped around his finger, dumbass, why would he want to talk to me?”
-
Johanna and Finnick's unlikely friendship developed through phone calls until they meet in person for the first time during Johanna's Victory Tour. They vent, banter, but most importantly:
They're there for each other.

Summary
You stare up at the gently swaying branches, fractals of light filtering through the space between the canopy, and breathe.
The world breathes with you, in and out, a soft breeze sweeping across the clearing. Grass tickles the back of your neck; you can feel the uncomfortable press of gnarled roots against your spine, and you swear beneath the bark you can feel a heartbeat, a steady thrumming that speaks of life.
It’s all so alive. It’s not the same fabricated, carefully designed set you stood on hours before. There is no stage anymore. The act is over. It’s not haunted by fragments of things left behind in past loops, in your memories, or in other pieces of you torn away from their home and tethered here by the stars. It’s no longer broken, failing, rotting away with the sickening smell of burnt sugar.
It’s. Alive.
… You’re alive.
The air is crisp, the birds cry out, the tree above you waves gently in the wind, and you are alive.
✧✧✧
In which I finally give Siffrin the recovery arc they truly deserve. And by that, I mean a messy one.
