    Summary

    When Phil was unconscious Dan wanted to wrap him in his arms, tell him, I’ll be your blood flow, your diagnosis, I’ll be your hedonism. You are the greatest consequence to ever happen to me. But Phil didn’t happen to people. He didn’t inflict himself. He wouldn’t know how to cause damage if it ground itself into his ribs. Not like the earthquake that was Dan Howell.

    Or: Daniel Howell never really learned how to relax. (Set during their vacation to Turkey)

    Summary

    to the mirror dan says, "i am sorry you got stuck with me," to the birds he says, "do you ever feel like your body is not your body?" to phil he says, "could you maybe sit a little further away from me during this video?"

    Summary

    Years later, after he’s lost count of the dead children bleeding in arenas, after the Capital has forgotten the war they’re avenging. Years later, he’ll think it’s so fitting. Sejanus will curl into silk sheets. Lucy Gray stretched out across from him - the monstrous boy they love in between them. His wife down the hall.

    He’ll recall the whispers, the people who once sneered at him who now flinch back. Snow’s songbird, and his loyal dog.

    -

    Or Lucy Gray and Sejanus Plinth are a little bit more clever, and they know exactly who the boy they love too much is. It saves their lives, but it doesn’t mean this is a kinder story. Just a different sort of tragedy.

    Summary

    “The way you won your Games,” Finnick tells her, “made me think of childbirth where the baby ends up killing the mother. You didn’t care what you had to do as long as you made it out into the world, kicking and screaming and covered in someone else’s blood.”

    Johanna scowls up at him, visibly disgusted. “How are you considered the most fuckable person in the Capitol if that’s how you choose to start a god-damned conversation, Odair?”

     
    or, how finnick and johanna survived the capitol, before the days of the girl on fire
