Summary
“I am not your friend, de Courfeyrac. Perhaps you are confused and need to find one. I hear they can be had at Straub’s for the price of someone’s vanity."
Every friendship has to begin somewhere. Theirs starts in Autumn, 1825 with a boring lecture, annoyed Blondeau, and accidents of circumstance. Bahorel knows what the the English have to say about the word "assume", but Enjolras and Courfeyrac sure don't. Also features a tired Combeferre, annoyed law professors and commentary on the Bourbon Restoration and Anti-Sacrilege- Act.
For Barricade Day 2015.

My World's On Fire (How 'Bout Yours?): District 2 at War by kawuli, lorata, penfold, Xanify
Fandom Hunger Games Series - All Media Types, Hunger Games Trilogy - Suzanne Collins
15 Jul 2018
Summary
Alma Coin's dictatorial tendencies don't go unnoticed by everyone; over the years, a faction splits from her rebellion and seeds itself through the districts. They have no resources, weapons, or strongholds, but they do have eyes and ears. And so they infiltrate and gather intelligence from both sides, waiting until the time when they can save Panem from President Snow and Alma Coin.
When Brutus is pulled from the 75th Arena and accidentally resuscitated by a squad of District 2 Peacekeepers, the second resistance takes a chance. Coin considers District 2 an acceptable sacrifice -- a convenient scapegoat, full of loyalist traitors -- but after all, one man's trash is another man's treasure.
A fix-it that isn't; nothing is rosy, nothing is easy, but maybe a few lives will be saved along the way. Follows canon through the Quarter Quell and diverges at "A District Upside Down".

Summary
'You're Captain America,' Clint tells him. 'Saving children is definitely your job.'
'This may surprise you, but I didn't actually run into many kids in need of saving in the middle of Hydra bases,' Steve hisses at him.
'Just be you,' Natasha tells him. 'Kids like you.'
'Kids like Hawkeye,' Steve objects.
'Kids like to laugh at me when I juggle knives or shoot things like a badass,' Clint grins at him. 'They think you'll keep them safe.'
Steve does not feel trained for this.
After breaking into, and destroying, an AIM base, the Avengers find a little boy.

I am trying to see
I am trying to believe
This is not where I should be

Brutus hopes doing his duty will silence the voices telling him this is wrong; Enobaria wants to burn the traitor Mockingjay for bringing this on people who only ever followed orders. Lyme needs to make it through without stabbing President Snow in the eye.
