    Summary

    "And without fame, a man must spend his life
    Only to leave such traces upon earth
    As smoke leaves in the air, or foam in the sea" - Dante

    -

    "It's...complicated. Of course I'll try to win," he can't, "it's an honour to be here," it's not, "but I know it's going to be her. It's always going to be her. I-I'm sorry, I don't-"

    Luckily, they take it as him being overcome by emotion and not the end of a shallow lie. How fucking delightful. He proffers an effete half-smile as the buzzer blares, catches a glimpse of himself on the viewfinder. Surely a child looks back at him, but a determined one. A strong child with bewitching dark eyes, well-muscled if lanky, towering easily over the presenter.

    Reality finally registers; his milquetoast stylist has crafted from the scraps of his decaying personality an underdog. Someone to root for and cry for and adore.

    He doesn't want this.

    Does he?

    Congratulations to 'Wilbur Soot', Victor of the 58th Annual Hunger Games!

    Summary

    "Listen, man, it's exactly what Jim said," Jackson says over dinner. "You just gotta put em in their place."

    "I mean, force isn't exactly working," he says, chewing an oyster. The food nearly makes him sick, stuck up here in this penthouse like this.

    "So just talk to them," Jackson insists. "Make Grian give an address, I don't know."

    "No, it won't work," he mutters.

    "It will if it's you," he says. "They believe you. Respect you? Maybe not so much. But you keep shovin em peacekeepers, they'll keep believing in your power."

    Summary

    We have not reached the end, no, we are still quite far from it.

    We have not saved the princess from the tower, we have not played the last lingering note, and we still have only taken the first step beyond our safe haven.

    This is not a hero's journey, this is a redemption arc.

    Summary

    Ted Nivison is the Victor of the 63rd annual Hunger Games. It’s a fact powerful enough to silence the entirety of District 10.

    ~

    His home has been ripped away from him at the last possible second. And he’d survived. And now his home wouldn’t want him back even if he could return. They’d made that perfectly clear, and his empty bag feels heavier on his shoulder just thinking about it. Ted couldn’t express the depths of his fury if he tried.

    So, he doesn’t.

    Instead, Ted rightens his worn leather bag, filled with nothing but toxic smoke and useless pride, and reaches out to grab Carson’s shoulder, unsurprised to feel the muscles under his fingers tense up.

    “Carson, my friend,” he begins, sounding as if he is in grave need and as if he and Carson have known each other for many long years.

    “You wouldn’t happen to have a glass of milk?”

    ~

    ‘When the hope of morning starts to fade in me
    I don't dare let darkness have its way with me
    And the hope of morning makes me worth the fight
    I will not be giving in tonight.’

    Summary

    "Here is the river, and here is the box, and here are the monsters we put in the box to test our strength against. Here is the cake, and here is the fork, and here's the desire to put it inside us, and then the question behind every question: What happens next?" — Richard Siken, Snow and Dirty Rain

    It’s funny: for as long as he can remember, he’s always been Technoblade.

    Summary

    Desperation for forgiveness creates the desire to impress and be greater than those before you. Tradition is of paramount importance within District One, and the need to do better than those who precede you spurs development.

    Children are not acceptable.

    Summary

    "Where people help each other, the sky shines on the horizon.
    Where people forget old hostilities, fill trenches, and end quarrels, there the sky shines on the horizon.
    Where people go out of the way of hatred and share time and bread, there the sky shines on the horizon.
    Where people forget themselves and look at the others, there the sky shines on the horizon.
    Where people break through coldness and rigidity with words and gestures, there the sky shines on the horizon."

    - The Sky Shines On The Horizon, by Doctor Antony Theodore

    Summary

    Carson enters the lift alone and tries to control his shaking as he feels the mechanical whirr pull him upwards. Up towards floor six.

    I’m mature now, he thinks to himself, I survived and I’m maturer and stronger and I’m not afraid. Not anymore.

    After all he’d seen and done in the arena... what could possibly be scarier than that?

    ~

    There’s nobody here to meet him.

    There’s nobody here, at all.

     

    (Disclaimer: I do NOT condone any of cc!Carson’s actions nor do I support him in anyway, this is just an old fic written before we all found out what he’d done.)
