Summary
England, 1882 - but a very different England from the one we know. Children are raised in austere institutions, away from their parents; schooled to be the best and purest they can be. Everyone, they say, is born equal, and promised at seventeen to a new destiny; a new identity. The good move up in the world and the sinful move down. But there is corruption in this England where, apparently, everyone gets what they deserve. When a pair of youths, Enjolras and Combeferre, attempt to escape from their own institution, they set in motion a chain of events that will change not only their lives and those of the people they know, butt also, for better or worse, reshape the destiny of their country.

Summary
The first thing you'd been taught as a child was how to keep calm. Knowing how to breathe deeply and clench fists and avoid ripping the world apart at the seams is the most important lesson your kind can learn. So you focus your mind and concentrate on your studies and not once do you lose your temper.
But now this boy is pushing you and you can feel your control begin to waver. You do not know if he is a Guardian, an Elsen, a Spectre, or some new creature entirely. All you know is that you hate him more than you have ever hated anyone, and that you have spent several nights dreaming of ripping off his mask and discovering what his lips taste like.

Summary
So to the Alpha Man came God’s hand, and in His protection the Alpha Man fell into a deep sleep. The Lord God cradled him as He took one of the Alpha Man’s rib bones and closed its place with the dust of stars and the salt of the sea. He fashioned from the Alpha Man’s rib bone a second in His image, hollow but for love for God and love for the Alpha Man, and that was the omega man. When his eyes opened for the first time the Lord God blew dust from the Earth into his sight and blinded him but to love for God and love for the Alpha Man and He did tether them with dust and salt as sat in the Alpha Man’s wound.
George doesn’t believe in all that catechism anymore, but in the grand scheme of things, and in Clevedon, it doesn’t matter much.
This is a really plotty, meta, metaphorical, semi-dystopian-but-following-X-Factor-timeline-and-with-a-happy-ending, crackships-ahoy Alpha/beta/omega fic. Alpha!Harry/omega!George.

In which Enjolras leads a dystopian society to revolution, Grantaire is both his greatest inspiration and his greatest obstacle, and the real monsters are not the ones hiding in the dark.

Summary
Stiles is finally back. Derek hasn't seen him for years. All he wants is to latch onto him and never let go, but he's aware there is a big chance they don't know each other anymore.
Still, finally, he's got him alone. They take a walk through the dirt roads that watched them grow up, cold and malnourished. How do you say that you loved, in a place that you hate so much?**
This came to me while reading The Hunger Games. It's inspired by life in the Districts of Panem. Specifically, the Seam.
There is no need to have read the books to read this fic. It contains no spoilers for either The Hunger Games series or Teen Wolf (aside from names of S2 characters). -
