Summary
Two Victors. One haunted by silence, the other by him.
Daniel survived the Games years ago, but something inside him never left the arena. He smiles for the cameras, speaks when spoken to, and feels nothing. Max is newer, starved for love, raised on violence, and burning with a need to protect what no one ever protected in him.
Thrown together by the Capitol, they orbit each other like wounded stars, love blooming in the wreckage.
In a world that demands obedience and sells beauty like blood, devotion becomes defiance. And the act of holding someone through the night becomes its own revolution.It’s a story of boys who were never meant to live, trying to.
Or, a Maxiel Hunger Games AU.

Summary
There is a man. Or the shadow of one. He forgets the shape of days, the order of mirrors, and the weight of his own name. Somewhere, a voice calls through water. A hand reaches through the snow. Love, or something like it, returns again and again, wearing a different face.
This is not a story. It is a wound. A prayer. A film of ash in morning light. A childhood that bleeds into a hospital corridor. Memory distorts. Silence breathes. A boy walks into a lake that remembers. He is not looking for answers. Only for the sound of footsteps that do not vanish.
In the quiet, a choice is to be made: either to remain, to feel, to love without rescue.
Or, in the end, only that there is no end. Only light falling on cracked glass. Only breath.

Summary
Who is Max? A figure carved out of speed, precision, and determination. The world champion. A title so definitive in itself that at one time it would elucidate bravery and admiration, but now it is laden with heavy guilt and ruin. The world hails him for the victories, but he feels only losses. They can’t see the hands that shake under the weight of this existence; he so desperately wants to throw away after the crash. There had been a time when a victory brought joy; when the podium felt like home. But that time was a memory—a ghost of a life once lived, replaced by the creeping paralysis of guilt, the suffocating dread that nothing, no achievement, no glory, would ever be enough.

Summary
Charles chuckled—leaning closer, voice dangerously soft. "Your God won't save you, Max. When you fell, it wasn't Him who caught you." His gaze burned into Max's, unyielding. "It was me. Always me."
Max has a lot of issues, Charles just wants to make him better and fuck him up in the process.

Summary
Finals season isn’t exactly Max’s most favourite time of year.
He does fine in his classes. Not extraordinary, much to his father’s chagrin, but also not struggling to get a passing grade. At least until now.
Because Max is convinced he is going to fail this semester. Badly.

Summary
"They haven’t spoken in years. Too much has changed since then -- things they can’t undo. Is he the same Charles that Max once knew through and through, like a birthmark on his own skin? Max could once recall every freckle, every eyelash, every giggle out of his mouth and now...Charles is taking Max’s place."
or;
Max fell in love with Charles at sixteen years old, in the moments between breathing and ballet school. It was easy – until it wasn’t. Years have passed since then. And now Charles is back in Max’s life: unannounced, unexpected, and unwelcome.
