    Summary

    The Hunger Games AU that no one asked for.

    Chrissy is a brand new escort, and the job is wrapped up in more than politics. It's not just her life on the line and she knows it.

    Everything in Twelve comes with a layer of grime and distrust. She can feel eyes on her as she and Hopper make their way down what passes as their main street, her head tucked down, eyes downcast, ashamed. Hopper strides beside her like he doesn’t have a care in the world, his elbow and the butt of his gun pressed to the small of her back like reassurance. It also prevents her from turning and running back to the station in her stupid, horrible heels. It’s more than likely that she’d break an ankle doing that. Maybe a broken ankle would be enough to get her out of this. Oh, God.

    Summary

    The happily-received compliment ruptured the logical bit of Eddie’s skull, and he felt his lungs swell in his chest. Did Chrissy Cunningham actually tell him she liked the way he looked? Was she actually teasing him at the end, there? Her seemingly harmless words emboldened him.

     

    “You think?” He gesticulated theatrically by gripping the folds of his open jacket, pulling them taut into the air and doing a full rotation in mock eccentricity. “I didn’t have time to do anything with my hair. Salon was booked for the day.” He smiled broadly.

     

    Chrissy laughed, a bit more carefree this time. “I wouldn’t do anything to that hair, Eddie. Kind of glad you left it alone.”

    OR: an angsty, falling-in-love story where Eddie and Chrissy find support from unexpected friends and unimaginable hate from almost everyone else.

    Summary

    He ran when she died.

    And she killed him in turn.

     

    Vecna is dead. Chrissy Cunningham and Eddie Munson were, too.

    Until they weren't.

    Summary

    Eddie never was a planner, but his new life necessitates having some idea of where he’s going, and when he’ll get there. He’d like to think that makes him more mature, but he’s still flying by the seat of his pants when it comes to the big picture. Getting his CDL was a way to escape Hawkins. To see the country, even if he’s mostly seeing long, lonely stretches of interstate in between depots.

    There are bright spots. Hazy desert sunrises that make him want to write a sad song, and the occasional free evening to take in a show, meet some locals. Follow a pretty girl to her apartment if she’ll have him.

    Most of the time, though, life comprises shitty diner burgers and far too little sleep. It's a lonely existence, but it suits him fine, until the night a strawberry-blonde ponytail at a gas station in Kentucky stops him in his tracks.

    Summary

    Clarke Griffin is a pretentious know-it-all. At least that's what Bellamy thinks of her. He's agreed to co-lead the camp with her, much to his regret, but he can't help thinking that it would be so much easier without her. She defies him at every angle, frustrates him beyond belief and he honestly couldn't give a damn if she just disappeared out of his life for good.

    That's exactly what he thinks. Until life decides to test that theory. He soon realises that he can barely breathe without her and with danger around every bend, he suffocates more than he thought possible.
