A muggle-born Slytherin whose parents are terrified of her. A pureblood Gryffindor whose parents are disappointed in him. The arrival of her Hogwarts letter was meant to make everything better. Asteria Halloway finally had an explanation for her parents as to why she didn't fit in no matter how hard she tried. She was a witch. However, this did not make anything better. If anything, Asteria's life began to spiral out of control. Her parents feared her magic - troubled by their daughter's powers. Not only that, but the young muggle born girl would soon be sorted into the pureblood supremacist Slytherin House. Here, she would face discrimination day after day, year after year. Sirius Black spends his days pranking. Asteria Halloway spends her days reading. The start of their fifth year at Hogwarts brings with it terrible circumstance. Sirius and Asteria must go behind each other's backs and use the other for their own personal gain. Despite this promised one-time-only deal, the two of them come together and won't be torn apart anytime soon. And this is only the beginning of the unbelievably amazing events that unfolded for Asteria and Sirius. They're in for one wild ride and they're defying stereotypes left, right, and centre.

Kai just got chosen to be a tribute for District Four in the 72nd Hunger Games. She should be panicking, saying goodbye to her loved ones, squaring her shoulders, and preparing to take human lives for the first time in her life- to make decisions that no person should ever have to make. Instead, she's sitting peacefully in an empty room, her brow furrowed as she plans out her next move. Why is she so calm and collected, planning her next move instead of worrying about the murder she's going to be forced to commit? The answer to that is simple. Kai's killed before - more people than she'd ever like to admit - and she's willing to do it again. -- His head snaps up, immediately finding my figure. I'm stretched out on one of his leather chairs, a glass of alcohol in one hand and a twirling knife in the other. "Wh - who the - is this - what? You're a tribute-" So he recognizes me. Charming. I interrupt him calmly. "You've pissed a lot of people off, Jade." It takes him a long moment before he answers. I take that time to sip some of the alcohol that I found in his house, a strong whiskey-tasting drink - although there's a weirdly sweet undertone. "You're Kai, right? How do you know who I am?" "I am Kai, a tribute in the games this year." I chuckle. "But, forget that side of me. You can call me Viper." His face pales immediately. "V - Viper?"
