    Summary

    Caesar's eyes glanced over her, full of glee and excitement that she did not share. Her own eyes glassy as she glanced at the audience.

    "Johanna, I see tears in your eyes. Could that be because you've spend the past years caring for your invalid father?"

    She pushed the tears further to the surface as she nodded. "He lost his leg several years ago, my brothers provide for us and I take care of the home"

    "Now isn't that beautiful folks? Such a sweet, gentle soul she is" Caesar claimed as the crowd roared while a tear rolled down her cheek.

    They mindlessly ate up the story she fed them, the harmless girl from District 7 - who played the violin and smiled like the world wasn't about to end.

    Perhaps because, in Johanna's mind, she'd already won.

    ---

    Johanna Mason's backstory as we never got it in the books. Following her from the age of 14, all the way to the end of the war - and everything in between.

    Summary

    Peter is fine, anyways. His boss might fire him soon, the Avengers might arrest him soon, the principal might expel him soon, but none of it has happened yet. And his dad—
    “You didn’t get my coffee,” his dad says, halfway through his burrito. He has been in a state of low, simmering irritation all evening, and apparently this is how long it took for him to find a reason to blame Peter for it.
    “You didn’t tell me to get coffee.”
    “Do you have eyes?”
    “Yes,” Peter says. “I have eyes.”
    “So you could have checked if we needed coffee without me telling you every little thing, Jesus Christ.”
    -
    Peter just wants to make it to sixteen so he can escape this life and strike out on his own. He has a plan and nothing will ruin it.
    Not even Tony Stark quite literally crashing into his life.

    Summary

    Kiara was in fifth grade when she first heard that the woman's uterus is a garden.

    That's what her health teacher told the class—a woman with boho skirts, curly hair, and bright red glasses whose goal it was to uplift young girls.

    A place where life is supposed to grow. Flowers and herbs and fruit. Things that bring joy and happiness.

    She said it like a woman's value was tied to giving birth to children—to bloom, to bear fruit, to be nurturing and beautiful.

    Kiara didn't understand it then.

    Since the first time she got her period exactly a week after her tenth birthday, her garden only grew thorns.

    OR

    Kiara Carrera has endometriosis, and JJ is the one who holds her through every flare-up, every wave of pain, every negative pregnancy test, every quiet heartbreak, every moment she thinks she’s too much.

    Summary

    The marauders had completely illuminated all that was once black. So Sirius had forgotten how loneliness ached and tugged and left him so so hollow.

    He had forgotten how it completely overpowered everything. How it consumed everything in it's wake.

    He had forgotten just how bad it hurt.

    But fuck does he remember now.

    (Pretty much my version of the prank. I've had some angsty head canons for the prank for a while and I haven't found any fics that quite fit my hc's so I decided 'what the hell, let's just write my own.' Hope you enjoy lmao)
