Summary
Fitzroy Avery Vacker is seventeen years old when he hears his name for the second time. (He was fourteen when he heard it the first time, except now, there is no one to volunteer for him. It wasn't supposed to be like this. He was supposed to have longer. just a little bit longer.)
Keefe Irwin Sencen was thirteen years old when he volunteered for the hunger games (He wants to say he saved Fitz, but not really. Fitz would've survived. This is just another reckless decision of his, just some desperate plea to get people to love him and not to lose the one that pretends to. That's Keefe for you. )
Sophie Elizabeth Ruewen-Foster is a week away from sixteen when she ends up caught in this mess. (She isn't coming back alive. Not when her competitor is the Vacker's golden boy, and her mentor is his best friend.)
The odds were never really in her favor.

Summary
The blade cuts into his skin.
Contrary to popular opinion, it does not cut like butter. It does not sink into his arm, elegantly slitting the skin apart to reveal red flesh. No, this blade is old and worn down. Dull.
The blade is biting and tearing and harsh.

Summary
[INDEFINITE HIATUS]
Traitors don’t deserve apologies, and yet the boy he's hugging isn’t one.
He’s just that. A boy. A scared, silly, stupid boy.
And it scares Fitz.
It scares him so much. Because if he's just a boy, then what is Fitz?
"I'm sorry," The boy whispers, trembling.
And somehow, as he holds the boy's hand, shaking, Fitz lets himself believe it.Or,
Lodestar, but Keefitz.
Essentially a fix-it, but can be considered a canon divergence, since first half sticks to canon and headcanons.
Actually wait no I take it back it's just a total rewrite

There is no denying that Turntapp is a little starstruck by Saparata.
What’s stranger is the nagging sense that Saparata might be a little starstruck by Turntapp, too.

actor AU in which turntapp learns 30 is the new 50 and saparata can act but not act normal

Summary
In which Keefe writes a series of letters and Fitz waits for him to come back. And then he does, and everything gets a whole lot worse. Replacing the events of Stellarlune but carried on a similar track.
or,
"I'm going to leave you behind," Keefe should have said. "I meant to leave my heart behind, but sewing it to Sophie's sleeve left needles in my stomach instead of butterflies." / "I know you," Fitz will say when he sees him again. "So why does it feel like you've forgotten everything I ever was?"

Bookmarker's Notes
This is like, the best fic I have ever read, hands down. Was also like the first fic I've ever read for Keefitz, and the first I read for kotlc, and now I am a lifetime shipper thanks to this fic. This is like the fic I migrated from wattpad to ao3 for, because I was stalking the author everywhere (If you're reading I'm so sorry I swear I'm not creepy I'm just madly in love with your writing) Genuinely, I cry every time I remember this because it's just so beautiful. I will forever be in love with this, forever be mad that I could never write something like this, and forever never stop praising it. Like, this just influenced my writing so much, and words can't describe how much I adore this fic. This is, I repeat, my favorite fic of all time. Like, I would kill everyone and everything to read this again for the first time. If I could give a thousand kudos, I would, and at this point I'm too shy to comment yet I linger there for hours typing something out before my anxiety makes me delete it

Summary
It takes a lot longer to strangle someone than it does to bleed out.
A round 6 fic where Ivan really does try to kill Till, out of mercy, not malice.
