Summary
“What the hell are you doing?” He asks, voice sharp in his surprise. He’d expected—well. He hadn’t expected this. The girl in front of him is careful to keep her hands up, only nodding at the pack now on the ground. He’d thrown her pretty hard against the wall when she’d stepped out from the shadowed corner, but nothing he can see looks bleeding or broken, at least.
“I’m here from Leroy. He didn’t want to come. Said you might, like, cut off his fingers or something. So he sent me.”

Sans Firefly-rescue. Ellie stays in Boston as a smuggler, or something similar.

Summary
Joel sounds a thousand miles away. “Ellie? Are you listening? I said, don’t you *ever* do that again.”
Well, she thinks deliriously, that won’t be a problem after all.
“Ellie, what—?”
It feels like she has no control over her body anymore, like it’s someone else who is extending her arm, pulling back her sleeve, and exposing a ring of broken skin. She hears Joel stop breathing when he sees it too.
She's been bitten.
________AU where Ellie is already traveling across the country with Joel when she gets bitten.

a half-step to the left by PenAndInkPrincess

Summary
It’s not that Ellie means to stalk the couple she catches lurking in the shadows at 1 in the morning after sneaking out of her dorm because sitting in the room alone was making it hard to breathe, but fellow curfew-breakers can hardly expect privacy. All’s fair in love and rule-breaking or whatever their English teacher said in one of the rare classes when they were learning something not related to FEDRA policy.
And there’s something in the way the man holds his hand out to help pull the woman up over a crumbled brick wall that she just can’t look away from.
There’s a gentleness there despite his size and obvious strength that makes her breath catch for just a second. It’s too far for her to hear what they’re saying, but the woman says something with a little half-smile and presses her hand to the man’s shoulder, and the casual affection of the gesture fills her with a nameless want.
So, trailing them at a distance it is.
(AU in which Ellie follows Joel and Tess around and meets them with no Fireflies involved)

Summary
“You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.” - Albert Einstein
As murmurs of rebellion travel Panem, an unfortunate 'coincidence' means that every tribute chosen in the Reaping of the 67th Hunger Games just 'happens' to be twelve years old.
Claudius, the male Career volunteer from District Two, finds the moment he spent his entire life training for tainted as he's now forced into the role of the Capitol's executioner. Lyme, his mentor, refuses to let her tribute go down as the villain.
Contains massive headcanon about the District Two Career training academy, Career culture, and D2's mentor system. Also Lyme, because apparently no one ever writes about Lyme, and that's a darn shame.
COMPLETE.

Summary
Where to begin? Ajax, who drowned. Ramona, who jumped off the platform too early. Babylon, who choked on spiders. Candy, whose ax ricocheted into her skull. Every boy and girl in between, plus every boy and girl she did not personally dress for death. Tigris is a step above a pallbearer, a funeral director by another name, no more talented or special than a person who applies makeup to corpses so they look good in the ground, because all of those tributes are dead from the moment they’re Reaped, and even if they survived they were dead then, too. And she will never forgive him for any of it–for continuing the murder of children, for begging her to participate in it, for ruining her favorite thing in the world and then having the audacity to ask why she wanted to leave it behind.

(All that happens between Tigris and Coriolanus Snow: beginning, middle, and end.)

Summary
“HE’S BEAUTY HE’S GRACE HE’S MISTER UNITED STATES!” “Bucky, what the [bleeped]…?”
“Following his pardon by the President of the United States, Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes, former Nazi prisoner of war and brainwashed Hydra agent, took to an unusual method of adapting to the modern world: Twitter. His Twitter handle was tweeted out by Tony Stark, and in the following two days, he gained over ten million followers. Barnes posted only four tweets as well as sharing and retweeting several Vines, but two of his tweets were videos of the famed Steven Rogers, also known as Captain America. The latest of these featured Barnes entering Captain Roger’s bedroom and shouting the line: “He’s beauty, he’s grace, he’s mister United States”, just to cause Captain Rogers to fall out of bed before confusedly saying, “Bucky, what the [bleeped]?” The rest of the world seems to agree with Captain Rogers; Barnes, what the hell?”

“You should be careful of that one,” Mr. Hendrickson says, with a nod to Bucky outside the window. “It ain’t right. Looking at you all the time as he does. The way he should be looking at girls.”

Or, five times Steve caught Bucky looking at him, and the one time he looked first.

There’s a weird familiarity about the kid's tone and posture, and it’s true that Wade is pretty far from home today but he’s also certain he’d remember that baby-face if he’d seen it before. On the other hand, he has spent the better part of the past few years feeling like he’s missed a step, so this conversation isn’t exactly anything new.
[[A hot guy is willingly talking to us. Go with it.]]
[Don’t make an ass of yourself.]
“Shaddup,” Wade grumbles, though Yellow has a point...
OR Peter thinks Wade knows his secret identity, and Wade is really confused by the hot coed who keeps popping up and hanging out with him.Series
