The world changes and will change again in the next hundred years but, from here on out, there will always be bombs.
He might as well get used to them.

Summary
Some say that at the end of the summer, kingfishers carry the spirits of the dead away.
In District Four, the birds are never innocent in that. Folktales paint them as something cruel, too fancy to be trusted, tied to myths of abandoned pregnant women. And though some would say carrying the dead is just another dreadful myth, I find this one peaceful.Finnick Odair, from the beginning.

Despite only having been with the three immortals for a few weeks, Sébastien already knew that they were all entirely mad. Still, nothing confirmed their madness more than seeing Nicolò and Yusuf’s response to being thrown in a cell.

Summary
“I think I am a mistake,” Nicolò confesses.
“I thought God didn’t make mistakes.”
“You tell me.”
Andromache nudges his shoulder. “I do not think you are a mistake.”
“If there is to be a man to walk the world for thousands of suns, let it be a man like Yusuf,” Nicolò says. “A man who understands the weight of the sword, who trades in kindness, loyalty and honor. A man who can find beauty in a simple sunrise.”
“And what of a man like you?” Andromache asks.
“There are already too many men like me in this world,” Nicolò answers. “And we can cause more than enough damage within a mortal lifespan.”
Andromache is silent next to him. Somehow, Nicolò knows she understands. For as old as she is, she has likely seen far too many men like him already.
They stand in silence for a few minutes before she asks, “Do you love him?”
Nicolò ponders for a moment. “I do not think love is enough.”
Nicolò di Genova has lived a long life. He has much to show for it, but somehow still nothing at all.
This is Nicky's companion piece to 'Beautiful Ghosts'. 'Beautiful Ghosts' should be read first (but likely not imperative).

Summary
If anyone would ask Booker why he chases Death, he would tell them. It wouldn’t be an answer anyone would expect.
If they would ask Joe, he’d say it is because Booker is selfish. If Nicky, he’d say that Booker is naïve. If Andy is asked, she’d probably just laugh and say that Booker is bored.
But if anyone bothers to ask Booker? He would say that the others aren’t wrong, but they aren’t exactly right, either. Booker would give chase, over and over again, without fail. Because Death gives him the one thing he values above all others: quiet.
Booker is incredibly gifted and has an extreme case of hyperthymesia. He doesn’t remember everything. But what he does remember, he just doesn’t forget.

Summary
It started with a dull throb at the back of his head—annoying but ignorable. He sat quietly, pen in hand, notebook open, eyes focused on the board. But the ache began rhythmic and slow, dragging down his thoughts like lead weights. Then a throb, like something behind his temples had started to pulse every few seconds.
Todoroki blinked hard, scribbling down the notes on the board, hoping it would pass. He was fine. Just tired. Just... a headache. He's been through much worse. His scar unhelpfully throbbed.
The problem was, it didn’t go away.
or
Todoroki gets a headache, but brushes it off. It doesn't go very well.

Summary
“You mean to tell me that you both have each other’s quirk right now?” Aizawa-sensei looks at Ochako first, who nods eagerly, and then at Todoroki, who also nods, though more tightly, and pinches the bridge of his nose before rubbing his temples.
“And I assume this situation is… temporary?” Aizawa-sensei continues, sounding much like he’d rather be anywhere but here.
“Yes,” Ochako replies, bouncing on her heels a little. The police said it shouldn't last more than a day, so it shouldn't even be a problem with classes!”
Shouto and Ochako swap quirk for a day. Some chaos ensues.

“Mushroom?” Shouta asked, offering the plate.
The kid shot him an unimpressed look. “I don’t think you’re supposed to just take these,” he said, but he grabbed two of the mushrooms in rapid succession, stuffing them in his mouth until his cheeks bulged. His eyes widened. “‘s ‘ood,” he said.
Shouta chuckled and shrugged as he ate one himself. “They didn’t stop me from taking it.” He paused to offer the kid more food. “So, who am I sharing this hiding spot with?”

“Do you ever think about how you’re more than double my age but we still have the same problems?” Finnick replies, raising his glass in a mock-cheers fashion.
Haymitch takes it all back. He is absolutely going to judge.
or; Finnick is the youngest victor ever, and Haymitch somehow is the one to deal with it.
