    Summary

    When he woke in his chains, he was glowing. Under the dark streaks of dried blood, light was leaking through his skin. He looked like he’d swallowed a star.

    Annatar was standing in front of him, some feet away, his head slightly tilted.

    Sauron, not Annatar. Celebrimbor had to remember that, even though it was Annatar studying him; Annatar’s curving mouth and cool eyes –

    He wondered, for a moment, what fresh torment the light was meant to be; and then, with a sick awareness, he felt it like black breath on his soul, and he cried out, “What have you done?”

    -

    Sauron works a finer torture in the ruins of Eregion, and Celebrimbor survives it. The world twists.

    Summary

    “Sorry I’m late,” James says, pausing mid-sentence to catch his breath, “I had to take a quick detour.” He doesn’t offer details, clearly thinking this explanation to be sufficient.

    Regulus frowns at him. “What are you doing here? You aren't a prefect."

    “Don’t be silly,” James says. “I’ve got the badge, see?” He points at his jumper, which, now that Regulus takes a closer look, does indeed have a prefect badge pinned to it. Potter grins. "Just think of this as an opportunity.”

    Regulus crosses his arms and lifts an eyebrow. “An opportunity to deduct House Points for impersonation?"

    “An opportunity to ask me to invite you for Christmas.”

    Or: Regulus never once wonders where Sirius went that night. There’s only one option, and Sirius always did prefer his chosen family over his blood brother. So why is James Potter trying so hard to befriend him now?

    Summary

    “So,” Grantaire says. “You volunteered.”

    Enjolras seems to be expecting this. He straightens his spine and raises his chin, making very direct eye contact with Grantaire as he says, “Yes, I did,” coolly.

    “Hm,” Grantaire says in response. “I hope you’re planning on winning then, or you’re going to end up looking very foolish.”

    Enjolras says, still calm. “Well, I certainly don’t plan on dying."

    ***

    Enjolras enters the Hunger Games as a volunteer from District One. Grantaire is his mentor.
