    Summary

    She was a brick, just as he had told her. The corner of her lips twitched, like she could hear him - but she wasn’t looking at him, still tracing shapes in the heavens. Now, Barney decided with more knowledge, she was also a dear. A brick of a dear - that was Valancy Stirling all over.
    *
    Five times Barney dances around the thought ‘love’, and one time he actually confronts it.

    Summary

    “Hair,” she mumbles, fingers shooting up to the back of her head, where a section has bulged into an uneven lump.

    Wyatt blinks, squinting. “Hair?”

    Lou Lou doesn’t nod. “Hair.” she echoes, suddenly up into a sitting position. It has been messed with quite a bit, aside from the knob on the side, her braids are fraying and one has even become entirely loose. Oh no, he thinks. She wants him to fix her hair.

    Maysilee must have been listening the whole time. She’s already eyeing him with a gentle smirk when he looks up.

    [Or: After the private training sessions, Lou Lou needs her braids tended to. Maysilee offers Wyatt a hand.]

    Summary

    “Take me to the Hob,” Maysilee says, “then, we’ll follow him home and break into his house. Easy-peasy.”

    Wyatt’s eyes go as wide as one of the Sweet Shop’s rainbow spiral lollipops. “That does not sound smart.”

    “I’m not worried about being smart, Wyatt,” she says, voice cuttingly small, head faintly quivering side-to-side. “I’m worried about never seeing my grandmother’s necklace again.” She sounds anything but frivolous. “I need to know who this guy is, and I need your help to do that.”

    He swallows deeply, rushes of images from that day in the woods filling his mind. How he saw this tough-as-nails girl sobbing rivers over this lost piece of jewelry, how intimate and personal it was to her. And, of course, how he had given her his word that he’d help her find it.

    Well, he supposes there was no more perfect time than now to prove that.

    [Or: A necklace turns up missing, and Wyatt finds himself making dangerous promises.]

    Summary

    It had been weeks since Haymitch won and weeks more since Burdock showed him Lenore Dove’s grave. Long enough for the leaves to look like blood and the trees to die with summer.

    It was the first school year Haymitch would not attend, not because he wasn’t allowed to but because he knew that in less than a year, when the world had life again, he’d be leading two of his old classmates to their deaths.

    Summary

    Then, in big, bold letters all traced with fury, she writes: To whoever the hell this is; can you stop filling out betting slips on my fucking arm if you’re going to ignore me?

    Your handwriting is atrocious, by the way!

    [Or: You write on your skin, it appears on your soulmate’s, too. Maysilee jumps the gun with hers.]
