    Summary

    The war ends, and Katniss is an empty gun, still smoking from the last bullet she had misfired. That’s all she is now, in their eyes; a smoking hunk of scrap metal, no longer keen on obeying the hand that pulls its trigger. She is useless to the cause, useless to the new government, and, above all, useless to finish what she had inadvertently started when she put those nightlock berries into her palm two years ago.

    OR

    Katniss, and her journey back to reality in the aftermath of the war.

    Summary

    Alina was striking even before Genya worked her magic on her, a crown jewel among a tray of lacklustre stones. It dawned on Genya one morning that she wanted– more than anything in the world– to become inextricably entangled with this raven-haired wonder of a girl.

    Or the one where a whole lot of things go differently because Genya decides to send a letter or two.

    Summary

    She finds him on the porch, sitting with his head propped up on the back of his hands. When she looks at him like this, shrouded in the light of the setting sun like an angel, she’s fleetingly reminded of what she’d been so close to losing and what she’s lost. Quietly, she creeps up to him, barely making any noise as she walks across the wooden floorboards.

    “Penny for your thoughts?” Alina asks, putting her hands on Mal’s shoulders. The shoulders beneath her palms shudder a little as if shocked by a rod of electricity, and Alina cannot help but feel a pang of guilt for her actions. It’s too much too soon, she scolds herself. Way to go, Starkova. 

    OR

    Alina and Mal, after the war.

    Summary

    It's at one of Charlie Bingley's tamer parties that Elizabeth Bennet first meets him properly. It’s not her first time seeing him, though: she’s managed to catch glimpses of his brooding self lingering around campus before this bass-boosted soiree. She’s found that she can’t help but think him reminiscent of the opera ghost from Leroux’s Phantom— simultaneously stylish and arrogant in his movements, he tends to flit around the Literature block like some sort of wannabe Dracula. 

    OR

    Lizzie still manages to despise Darcy upon their first meeting, even in a completely different time and place.

    Summary

    And finally, three: despite his fearsome, bone-chilling facade, he has– as Inej has come to learn– an insatiable sweet tooth. She’d once walked in on him stuffing his face with a type of pink, sugar-dusted Kerch sweet, the fine, glittering granules coating the unforgiving black leather of his gloves. The sight had almost been endearing, if not soul-rattling; it’d been off-putting, seeing Kaz seated at his desk like that, his face emotionless as his jaws worked around the taffy-like substance.  

    OR

    Based on a silly headcanon of mine. Basically, Kaz has a bit of a sweet tooth.

    Summary

    “Thinking, General?” a familiar voice asked. 

    Zoya blinked, looking up from her cup of cooling tea. The blonde-haired king was leaning against the doorframe of one of the many not-so-common rooms in the Little Palace, a mug of coffee in his hands.

    OR

    Zoya and Nikolai reflect on what's happened.

    Summary

    So when Kaz had slipped him the five kruge earlier and told him not to use it all at once like a father , of all things, he’d stood there with his mouth open like he was a fish in the harbor instead of a sixteen-year-old explosives expert.

    (“And a flautist!” a voice that sounded suspiciously similar to Jesper’s called out in his head. “Don’t forget Wylan’s musical experience.”)

    OR

    Kaz unconsciously adopts Wylan, the fic.

    Summary

    When Kaz Brekker had gotten ahold of this job, he'd thought it'd go exactly as planned. It’d sounded easy enough to do, anyway; they just had to nick a chestful of kruge from the house of a rich mercher. “Simple, eh?” Per Haskell had said. “It’ll take you ten minutes tops, Brekker. Five if you bring the Wraith and Jesper."

     

    (Kaz's only wish right now is to murder his boss the second he gets back to the Slat.)

    OR

    When a job takes a turn for the worse, Inej finds herself rushing back to the Slat with a fainted Kaz Brekker in her arms.
