Hidden beneath masks and glamours too intricate to unravel, the Sterling Nightingale's self bestowed mission is to smuggle prisoners out of the Capitol to District 13, much to President Snow's fury. He hunts the spy endlessly, only to be continuously outwitted. The reason? He is not looking in the right places. Silver Lamprey Cornelius is not your standard Victor, after all. Finnick has always seen Sil as a brainless fop with nothing but air floating around in her head. For a fellow Victor, she certainly doesn't act the part. He's never given her the time of day, until his fate gets entwined with hers and their President seems to think that it would be a good idea to change all of that. Almost overnight, Finnick and Sil go from being complete strangers to being wildly in love. Of course Finnick doesn't actually love her. He could never fall for an idiot like her... ...until he does, and suddenly he realizes that Silver Lamprey Cornelius is not the woman he always saw her as. She is so much more. Fate is a strange mistress, and it seems that he is about to be swept up in its storm. Finnick/OC pairing. Scarlet Pimpernel inspired.

She was a capitol elite. He was the youngest victor in history. Their friendship was frowned upon, but their love was forbidden. Extended Summary Inside -- Finnick x OC Pre- hunger games - Mockingjay Disclaimer: I am not Suzanne Collins. All rights to her world and characters!

Dying as an engineer and waking up as a toddler in the Naruto world? Ayame's biggest problem isn't her tiny hands - it's surviving in a world where chakra rules and ninjas hold all the cards. Armed with only her modern knowledge, she tries to build a quiet life in a traditional farming village. But fate has other plans when a certain silver-haired ninja crosses her path... Between inventing new farming techniques and hiding her true identity, Ayame discovers that staying uninvolved with the shinobi world is harder than expected. Especially when Kakashi Hatake shows an unusual interest in the civilian woman who keeps revolutionizing her village with 'impossible' innovations.

Ayame was born into a dwindling bloodline. The Hoshino clan, once known for their powerful weather-wielders, had nearly faded into obscurity after their jutsu became difficult to control and too dangerous during wartime. After the Third Shinobi War, the clan was all but forgotten-preferring isolation to avoid further tragedy. Ayame was the first in generations to inherit the Tenki no Me, and her early life was marked by fear and isolation. Her emotions directly influenced the weather around her: when she cried, storms formed. When she was angry, lightning split trees. Her parents, though loving, were terrified for her and of her. She was trained from a young age to control both her chakra and her heart. Emotional discipline became her shield, her identity. This control kept others at a distance and made her seem cold or detached, but it was survival. Shikamaru x oc
