Fiat justitia ruat caelum

...but not Transformers.

I'm kind of on hiatus from writing for TF fandom lately. Working on some original fiction that's inspired by TF characters somewhat, but not really in the roboty mood lately.

I saw the Hunger Games movie recently, and found myself landing in that fandom after a comment thread on the books turned into me writing commentfic for someone who was nice to me. Then ficlets happened. (Well, the first is almost a fic -- I cut off "ficlet" in my head at 1k, and it's about 900.) And wouldn't stop happening.

Not sure if I'll stay in that fandom for as long as I've been in TF, and I definitely think I'll go back to robot-ing at some point. Because Starscream is too damn sassy to stay away from, and Megatron is Megatron.

But! Nifty stuff that I had fun writing!

These were originally posted to themockingjay. They are all unbetaed.

Title: Edge
Characters/Pairing: Cato/Clove
Rating: T for violence
Contains: Brief description of violence.
Word Count: a bit under 1k
Summary: Cato's thoughts on a certain knife-wielding fellow Career-in-training.

Title: Mercy
Character: Seneca Crane
Rating: PG I suppose -- it's a bit dark, but there's no explicit violence
Contains: Spoilers for the end of the first book, and a minor spoiler for the second book/for something at the end of the movie.
Word Count: 552
Summary: Why Seneca Crane made his decision at the end of the 74th Games. The motives imputed to him in canon never quite sat right with me, so I decided to play around with it a bit. This thing is the result.

( It couldn't end with emptiness. )

Title: Waking
Characters: Haymitch, Katniss, Effie
Rating: PG I suppose
Word Count: 550 or so
Warnings: None, really.
