In District 4, where the ocean's depths hold the secrets and survival is a daily battle, Avisa Morlen has learned to move like the tide-quiet, patient and sharp. When she is reaped for the 68th Hunger Games, her mentor is non other than Finnick Odair; a victor with a charming smile and a past as stormy as the sea. As the Capitol watches and the arena closes in, their fragile bond grows between whispered lessons and stolen moments. But in a world where trust is a currency few can afford, can love survive the merciless currents of the Games? Or will the waves drag them under before they ever reach the shore?

Beatrix Diggory has never lived outside her twin brother, Cedrics, spotlight. When she is given the chance at a fresh start at Hogwarts, she is determined to carve out her own place in the world, outside of her brothers. Beatrix, a third year Gryffindor slowly becomes the eight Weasley child. Defying her fathers wishes, she becomes the mastermind of chaos, rebelling every chance she gets. Beatrix will overcome loss, loneliness and maybe find a little bit of love.

They met at fourteen. Before the war. Before the loss. Before love meant anything. She wasn't supposed to matter. She was just supposed to pass through. Just a new girl finding her place at Hogwarts-until she found herself tangled in the lives of the Weasley twins, where laughter came easy, chaos came easier, and everything felt like home. What started as friendship-easy, effortless, and a little reckless-slowly became something harder to ignore. Because some people don't just change your life. They become it. But life has a way of changing everything when you least expect it. This is the story of every version of them. The laughing one. The broken one. And the one learning how to love again. A slowburn friends-to-lovers George Weasley x OC story spanning from fourth year (Chamber of Secrets) to after the war. Fireworks fade. Love doesn't.

"Rule number two - no kissing," Sage said. Fred opened his mouth with an incredulous look to retort but she continued before he could speak. "Or at least not without a purpose." Fred processed the information for a moment but then grinned his typical, Cheshire-cat grin. A mischievous look took over his eyes and he scooted even closer to her on the bed until their bodies were pressed together. "A purpose, hmm?" he asked directly into her ear with a low voice, sending shivers up and down her spine. "So if I kiss you it means it's going to lead somewhere?". He then brought his lips to her neck and started to softly press kisses upwards until he neared her mouth, his hand starting to wander up her bare leg. "No, Fred," she said breathlessly and pushed her off of him once she finally regained her senses. "At least wait until we set the ground rules." ~~~~~~~~ Sage had always had a somewhat odd relationship with her best friend's older brother Fred. They were good friends, yet they hated each other at the same time. Fred was always picking on Sage; always playing pranks on her and teasing her every chance he got. She absolutely hated it. When they took their built-up tension and passion and used it for something better -- somehow striking up a 'friends with benefits' arrangement -- will it all work out? Will they be able to release their pent-up hatred (and deeply rooted attraction) for each other and maintain their friendship, or will their feelings get in the way?
