icarus melts

— SERIES —

Writer's Summary (of first work in series)

Warden’s boots fall heavier than Sir’s dress shoes, Dream knows both sounds by heart. Thick soles clack against the obsidian as he crosses into the cell, practically marching towards Dream’s knelt form. Dream keeps still, head bowed, not daring to look upon Warden’s face. Warden rarely visits, especially not after Sir started his training sessions, and Dream wouldn’t want to disappoint him. The gas mask on Warden’s face amplifies the sound of his breathing, quick huffs of warm air, and finally he speaks. “You have a visitor today.”

Or, after months spent in prison, Dream gets a proper visitor.

hornets nest

Writer's Summary

Dream knows what comes next: a person’s name will be read out, their family will cry and grieve, they’ll walk up to the stand and numbly stand while photographers flash camera flares in their faces. He’s seen it a thousand times before – he’s not new to Reapings.

It goes, instead, like this. A name is read out, and it takes Dream a moment before he realises whose name it is. Sapnap's.

He’s pushing forward, blind, dazed, before he even knows what his body is doing.

(Or,

a Hunger Games AU, ft. c!Dream, c!Quackity, and c!Tommy.)
