    Summary

    Colors, many of heroism, yield envy and fear. Time passes over passing time. Fear and envy yield, Hero of Many Colors.

    Sarus has been running Bridge Four longer than anyone. He has trouble remembering the world before the Plains, and doesn't bother to imagine one after. But when a new bridgeman comes and offers the crew a chance at hope and freedom, Sarus can't help but take it.

    Look to the sky, Curumo. All the old prophecies are being fulfilled. The Doors of Night are open, and Odium comes.

    Summary

    And then, you will think: the answer to what’s in the middle part of the life-and-death equation is love, has always been love, and will haunt you until your own end.

    or: Death discovers what comes before the end.

    Summary

    Gideon is honestly fine with how her life is going. She's writing her silly little Cythday fanfics, going into her silly little job to be flirted at by middle aged women trying to figure out the elliptical, making silly little pieces of paper arbitrarily assigned value because she lives in a dystopian society (capitalism). It would be nice to have a little more control over her free time, sure, and she'd like if Nova Tumblr user thelostlyctor would give her a break, but it's all manageable. She's talking to a cute goth who she's pretty sure likes her back. Things are good. Things are great.

    Or: Gideon and Harrow are fanfiction authors for the same lesbian speculative fiction series, and then they match on Tinder.

    Summary

    Peeta is seven the first time he sees the Girl. He’s reeling from a backhand, blood filling his mouth and the sky is a darkening gray. For a moment he’s alone and the world is so empty. Then suddenly nothing is simple.

    There’s a flash of color, a rainbow of faded cloth against the gray background. A girl, the Girl is watching him and when he meets her eyes she smiles. Maybe it’s the Universe or Fate, or maybe Peeta somehow knows how his own story will end, but he doesn’t turn away.

    -

    Katniss is eight the first time she finds a Ghost. Her father is off digging through the earth, looking for her namesake, when a feeling of wrongness catches her off guard.

    For a moment there’s nothing. Then she sees a boy, who has no place in the forest, standing by a tree, bruises around his neck, peeking out from beneath his collar.

    (Or Katniss and Peeta can see ghosts, some things change for the better, some things don’t)
