Summary
The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.
“I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”
With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.
This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.
“Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

Summary
Not many scourgers find their way into the Dungeon of Penance - they are quite good at what they do, after all, and those who weren't good enough to complete their mission and escape were usually good enough to take a bite into their nightshade capsule sewn into their uniform.
it wasn't every day that the shadowhand got to interrogate a scourger.

Summary
Bren knows that on reaping day he will be heavily guarded, probably even more so than usual. There will be plenty of sanitorium guards and crownsguard and Ikithon’s people, but none of that will matter. Not if he can jump straight out of the sanitorium’s clutches and into the Capitol’s. That is what he trained for, after all. To compete, to win, to bring glory and prosperity to his district. He doesn’t know if he believes in that anymore, but at least, he thinks bitterly, the Capitol might let him die.
OR
Bren Aldric Ermendrud volunteers to participate in the Hunger Games in order to escape his former teacher. He plans on dying quickly and painlessly, but in the course of the training he might just find something worth fighting for. -

Summary
Lost and alone at the end of the world, Jon decides to try one last idea. It goes wrong, as his ideas usually do, when both the Web and the Spiral decide to interfere with what he's doing. For once the disaster goes his favor. Mostly.
He wouldn't have chosen to go back in time to when he was eight years old. He certainly wouldn't have chosen to catch Elias freaking Bouchard's attention before he's had a chance to do anything. And he cannot believe that his luck is so monumentally bad that he gets adopted by the man who wants to use him to end the world.
Jon has to figure out how to keep Elias away, while saving his friends and the world. And hopefully growing old enough that he can go anywhere on his own and be taken seriously.

Summary
In hindsight, Martin probably should have turned it down, but when faced with Elias Bouchard's polite smile and an offer that would put his financial struggles behind him for good, accepting the promotion to Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute just seemed like a good idea at the time. Even if it put him at odds with Gertrude Robinson's former assistant.
The good news is that there are far worse things to contend with than a disgruntled Jonathan Sims.
The bad news is that he's going to have to.
