Summary
“And one more thing,” Dean Highbottom cuts through Coriolanus’s thoughts. “This year we will be implementing a new monitoring system that will ensure the mentors are able to more closely follow their tributes’ progress in the arena.” His gaze cuts sideways and Coriolanus feels a chill as it settles unerringly on him. “Something a little more personal.”
What? A nervous buzz travels through the students. What on earth could that mean?
“Dr. Gaul and I have…collaborated…on a neural networking device that will allow the mentors to be physically aware of their tribute’s wellbeing as you prepare them for the arena. And after.” Highbottom tips his head speculatively. “Tests indicate that this should only be minimally painful.”
--
Coryo gets saddled with a psychic link to his tribute, proving once and for all that if you can't produce your own understanding of the inherent worth of other human beings, store bought is fine.

Summary
And yet, as Michael drank from him with both hands clinging and his mouth open like a prayer, David thought, almost deliriously, that perhaps this was Michael’s first kill after all.
Not a nameless body cooling at his feet.
Not a throat torn open in the dark.
But David himself.
David held between Michael’s hands, tasted from Michael’s lips, taken into the heat of Michael’s mouth while his tongue moved against him, making the moment sacred and ruinous at once.
David had thought he understood hunger.
He had thought he understood possession.
Michael opened him with a tenderness so violent it felt like grief.
OR
By 1987, David had made a kingdom out of ruin. He had his boys, the boardwalk, the factory, and his rules.
Then Michael arrived.
Michael, with bruises under his shirt and a loneliness David recognized in himself.
OR
A fix-it fic where David and the boys live, Star gets a happy ending while being a little manipulative (I love her though), and Michael is a lost puppy.
Blending movie and musical characterization, plus Ali Louis’s WWI David backstory.
Michael is 19 in this btw and close to his 20th birthday.

Summary
“It’s just about practice,” David says slowly. “And I can give you that.”
“What do you mean?” Michael asks. He’s turned back to face David. A promising sign.
“I mean, you can practice. On me.” He bares his teeth, bites at the empty air, and turns it into a winning smile. Angles his face to the side and jerks a thumb at his own neck. “Maybe it’ll help, to get a feel for it first. Might make the real thing easier.”
“Yeah, right,” Michael says unsteadily. “It’s your blood that got me into this mess in the first place.”
His eyes are locked on David’s neck, though. David can see his throat working as he swallows hard. There’re the logical objections, and then there’s what even the mention of blood can conjure up for them. Logic doesn’t really stand a chance.
“So what’s the harm in a little more?” David says casually.

Summary
Santa Carla, 1987. The California summer is in full swing. A killer – or killers – stalk the busy Boardwalk. And Michael Emerson is on the cusp of a life-altering revelation.
Santa Carla, 20XX. The Experience Room, the Boardwalk’s hottest, most cutting-edge attraction, has just changed over its storyline. Now, within its artificial confines, a killer – or killers – stalk the 1987 Boardwalk, daring players to catch them. Edgar and Alan Frog are just here to stake anything that moves, and have a good time doing it.
If a little paranoia doesn’t get the better of them first…
