Summary
Isabel Conklin is sitting in the passenger seat of a beat-up truck that smells of burnt leather, a remnant of the arson it survived two weeks prior. She’s beat up, too, violet bruises blooming on her knees. At least, she tells herself, glancing toward the boy at the wheel, they match his.
Conrad Fisher would kill a man for her. In fact, he almost did.
***
(or: Belly Conklin is privileged, and the beach house is hers. Conrad Fisher lives and works on his family's peach orchard. She still loves him, chooses him. His demons, too.)

Summary
Hunger, if intense enough, will drive you crazy.
I’m reminded of that, kissing him. Conrad tastes of the red wine we drank at dinner, the vanilla of the lipstick smear on his face, and of me. In the stairwell, I opened my eyes just in time to see him lick his fingers clean of my arousal. It’s thick, sharp, and strangely irresistible — like the shame I felt as a teenager, touching myself at the thought of him.
Now, there’s no room in my body for shame.
***
or: the unapologetic sex we never saw.

Summary
I’m looking at her, which is how I notice her picking the peach slices off the melted ice cream and eating them, one by one, with her fingers. She closes her eyes, and I wonder if we’re stuck in the same memory. I could live in it forever, I could, but I need to stop clinging to the past.
“Belly?”
“Yeah?”
“If you need somewhere to stay while looking for a place of your own, I have a spare room.”
(or: 3 times Conrad watches Belly eat peaches, and one time where they eat them together.)
***
Update: Now complete with a Kid Fic epilogue!

Summary
Heather rushes toward the entrance, knowing it’s her duty to be prepared for whatever comes her way.
But nothing could’ve prepared her for this.
Robby is trembling and shockingly pale, his eyes darting around the room in a frenzied fashion. The right sleeve of his hoodie is soaked through with blood. Jake is holding his left arm, keeping him moving. When he sees Heather, the boy croaks, “I—I found him like this.”

Summary
Tears glisten in Peeta's eyes, perhaps because of the smoke, perhaps because of me. He shuffles to the largest window in the hall, finally close enough to give me a glimpse of what he’s carrying. A loaf of bread. Burnt bread. Without hesitation, he tosses it outside, giving it to the roaring rain as he once gave it to me.
And I know. He still loves me.
I wonder if it pains him.
(or: a glimpse into Katniss and Peeta's relationship after the events of our little fires.)

Summary
The funeral was on a Wednesday.
Funerals were never a big deal on the Ark. Bellamy can count the number of funerals he went to on one hand, because they only did any celebration if the person who passed was someone of importance. Even then, he didn’t care about anyone they were mourning, but instead he looked at the clock, counting the moments until it was over. Then, when they were on the Ground, the original 100 died one after another, they didn’t have time for any fanfare.
So this is the first funeral Bellamy is a part of that makes him feel like someone’s punched a whole in his chest. Echo’s standing near him, close enough so he can pretend she’s touching him, but even she is afraid to be near him. His entire family are doing nothing more than staring at him, or the ground, or the gravestone. They feel fragmented as well, hovering around each other as if afraid to go anywhere near. Near each other, near the other Grounders.
Near the empty grave.
~~~~~~~
Upon landing in the new world, it seemed like humanity finally had a chance at peace. When suddenly something is taken from them, Bellamy and crew must find a way to navigate this new world when it feels like it's falling apart.

Summary
Not a blonde hair out of place, her suit perfectly tailored, the kind of person he was used to seeing around Washington. Bellamy glanced over at Marcus, catching the smirk on his lips as he watched this girl. She must be why they were here. “Who is this girl?” Bellamy asked, leaning in toward Kane.
“Your best bet at a career in the Senate,” Kane whispered back.
Political AU where Bellamy Blake is willing to do whatever it takes to get reelected, even pursuing an arranged marriage to a complete stranger.
