Once, when Effie was young, she’d asked her mother why the children in the districts were so different – why they didn’t grow up and become fun things like fashion designers and makeup artists and movie makers, but rather boring things like farmers and lumberjacks and coal miners.
“Because it makes them happy,” Cornelia had told her. “They get to provide, Euphemia. We give them so much, and this is how they can give back.”

Bookmarker's Notes
I flounced at chapter 13 of 50+. I just wasn't interested. Harry is quite prudish and there was a ton of giggling, hand-holding romantic notions that presented a romance straight from a 13 year old girls fantasy. I didn't understand Draco's penchant to be in a preteen romance with Harry but also have demanding kinky more-somes with his current shag.
Harry is a bit of a mary sue; a morally superior wanker. I don't like characters like this.

Summary
“Compromise where you can. And where you can’t, don’t. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right, even if the whole world is telling you to move. It is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye and say, no. You move.“
The thought never crossed Steve’s mind that maybe the entire world was standing in your way, because you were the one trying to do it wrong. Steve hadn’t had the time to listen. First stopping the accords form happening, saving Bucky and then getting his friends out of the claws of a government which thought itself almighty. It was only a few days after the events of Siberia that Steve couldn’t ignore the rest of the world anymore. The people his team had been fighting for had something to say and they demanded their voice being heard. They were telling him to move.
