Summary
'Who lives, shall see.'
Maria gets reborn in a young adult novel before the main character is a thought in her mom's mind. So, with no Mockingjay to save the country, she'll just have to wait things out until Katniss gets to the games.
Unfortunately, that plan doesn't work when she volunteers in a twelve-year-old's place seven years before Katniss does, and now she's stuck in the 67th Hunger Games.
Murder puts a bad taste in her mouth, but so did the tesserae. Augustus won't be winning these games if she has to brick him herself.

Summary
Lyra is a travelling circus performer who's spent the greater part of her life wandering the planes to escape the life she left behind.
Suddenly turned defacto leader of a group of parasite laden, doom bound individuals with more secrets than sense was by no means apart of the plan.
Astarion is free of his cruel master but only if he becomes a mindflayer or joins a cult and neither sounds particularly tempting. Alternatively, he could follow around a misguided and potentially stupid golden haired bard with a alien pyramid and an unfathomable amount of luck.Starts pretty sweet (considering the circumstances) and gets more angsty as we go because, you guessed it, trauma.

Summary
Daniel is sprawled out across the bed, loose-limbed and lazy, somehow filling all the open space it has to offer and leaving Armand to nestle into the gaps. His cheeks are flushed, blood pooling like it knows what comes next. Maybe it does. Armand was reading about classical conditioning the other day. About dogs who become accustomed to getting food when their handler rings a bell.
Perhaps Daniel is the dog, Armand’s teeth sharp bells reverberating in his veins. Or perhaps Armand is the dog, Daniel’s blood a song rattling in his ears. He has been a dog before. He runs his tongue along the bow of Daniel’s collarbone, gathers the salt-sweat there and imagines what it tastes like because Daniel does.
Armand remembers he loved Daniel, once, and that Daniel loved him. Or a version of them did, at least. It isn't his intention to go back to that, but it's not not his intention, either. Such is the prerogative of an immortal: to hold two contradicting desires simultaneously. If nothing else, it passes the time while he waits for this miserable interview to end.

Eleanor Mooton inherits the Ladyship of House Mooton after the second brother of two months dies in a hunting accident in the middle of Robert’s Rebellion. She is quite put upon about this.
(alternatively: local reincarnation unfortunately becomes important due to the universe's own fuckery. she should've ran to essos the second she realized where she was.)

Summary
Gortash didn’t know what love was, but he knew what power was. Power gave him deference; power drew people to him. Power made it so people couldn’t hurt him. And that was nearly the same. Gortash didn’t know what love was, but watching Tav, he sometimes felt something that might have been close.
But then she had gone and died. And the person who now wore her face is now a good person, not the horribly wretched one who had once promised him that she would burn down this cruel world that had dealt them nothing but pain and misery with him. So now, all he was left with was power. But that was all he needed anyway.
