Eat. Sleep. Repeat.

Now that Bruno finally feels safe and loved again by his family in Casita, he decides to explore the village again after years of solitude. People are still scared or nervous around him in the beginning, but in time they losen up and see him for what he really is; an autistic introvert who happens to see bits of the future.

He becomes friends with a few of the local rats and one evening they lead him to the mill where they sometimes go to find grain.

The miller is a strong, fat cutie and Bruno feels all sorts of feelings the first time he gets caught collecting food with the rats. How did Bruno not know of this lovely man living up on the hill? For all these years he was right there.

The miller introduces himself as Fernando and asks Bruno and the rats to please stay out of his mill with a "next time, just ask" and a casual smile.

Bruno takes him up on the offer and the two of them ends up in deep conversations about their passions, their childhood trauma and growing up gay in a comphet society. The rats come with Bruno in the beginning but soon they tell him to go on his own. Hesitantly he goes on his own.

When Bruno finally finds the courage to ask Fernando out, it is awfully clumsy of course. But he just gasps "I thought you would never ask!"

Bruno blinks. He starts tapping the old pattern on the side of the mill knock, knock, knock, knock on wood but just when he gets to knock his head the second time, Fernando offers his hand. Bruno blinks again, stopping his pattern and slowly reaches out to hold his hand.

"I'm not... very good at this .." he mumbles.

Fernando smiles patiently and tells him "I don't have a lot of experience either. After many years, I sort of just came to terms with not liking girls and probably never finding a partner."

Warmth flushing through him, Bruno smiles and turns to embrace Fernando. He comes to him willingly. The short man looks up at Bruno, and he slowly brushes his lips on Fernando's forehead. Then pulls away and pulls up his hood, blushing again.

"We'll work on it," Fernando decides, "We have all the time we need..."

Then he walks into his house by the mill. Bruno just stands there with his hood up, fidgeting with Mirabel's embroideries on his green poncho. A rat shows up to stand patiently by his side.

Someone, please write a fix-it fic where Haymitch doesn't push Burdock and Blair away and they stay friends PLEASE. A hurt/comfort fic, I need it rn. Haymitch stays away from alcohol and becomes Katniss and Prim's uncle god PLEASE.

Then you get Reaped because your boyfriend cheated on you - so now you have to fight for your life in an arena.

When you get to the Capitol you’re met by a guy around your age who says his job is to take care of you in the arena, so you figure you should probably use some of those charms you live by on him so you have a better chance at survival. So you flirt with him a little, save his life etc. It works! He helps you! Now you’ve won the Hunger Games! You get to go home and see your family! Thank you random Capitol guy for your help, bye bye now.

And then you’re singing on stage, with your family who you literally killed people to see again, thrilled to be alive and this fuckin Capitol guy has followed you home.

Oh and also he’s a peacekeeper now so is legally allowed a gun.

And now he kind of won’t leave you alone - the charm worked too well and he’s obsessed with you. Brilliant. But you’re a survivor. So you let him get closer, just enough to feel safe. And as you get to know him better, maybe you’re thinking, hey this guy isn’t so bad, he’s kind of cute with his buzzcut and he seems to really like you, maybe this could be something. Also it might be useful to have a peacekeeper on side - everything in your district is about survival.

Things are going well, you write a song about him, he cries, your little cousin loves him.

And then he murders someone in front of you and you’re like oh shit he crazy. And THEN you realise that because of the person he murdered, the mayor is now out for your blood and you’re probably gonna die so you have to get out of there ASAP so you say bye to this guy and he INVITES HIMSELF TO YOUR ESCAPE PLAN and you have to be like “oh sure, that’s super news, would absolutely love to have you along with me, I’m so glad you asked.” So now you’re stuck with him again.

And THEN you’re in the middle of escaping and he fuckin tells you he’s murdered an extra person you didn’t know about and when you ask him who, he says his old self and now you’re thinking oh shit he CRAZY crazy. And THEN he finds the gun he used and you realise that if he destroys that evidence then you’re the only loose end and he has a kind of crazy look in his eye so you’re like, okay time to nip this in the bud, I’m outta here gotta go pick some katniss. So you run away from him and THEN he follows you again and fuckin shoots at you so you run FASTER and now you’ve disappeared and no one will ever find out what happened to you which drives him absolutely crazy for 60+ years.
