At least that kid will have a readymade role model for how to go after those closest to him when he snaps from a lifetime of teasing.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I want to name a kid Castiel Anaximander now. Because it would be cool.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Have you explained this to your mother?

Once she's finished testifying on what she named us, sure.
Could be a bit of a wait, though.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
So I finished The Hunger Games trilogy (bye vacation, it was nice knowing you!), and I have to say, as I'm rereading trinityofone's fusion, how phenomenal her story is. I, I almost like it better than Collin's story.
But, but, but, wow, they are so absolutely different. There's no line stealing, or scene stealing, there's no mapping of anything at all beyond "12 districts, kids fight to the death".
I am flabbergasted with how impressed I am.
I also blame trinityofone for being annoyed with much of The Hunger Games, because it wasn't like her fic.

Because books.
I'm not really sure how to read your post, having not read the fic, so.

I've read the fic, and personally don't find the two comparable.
I like trinityofone's fic, but it had nothing on the books for me. Nothing. The level of emotional reaction was not even remotely equivalent. Even though she had characters that have been drawn in years of detail (well, at least in Dean's case) and relationships that have been dealt with in great depth, *she* didn't bring anything to the premise or the relationships or the characters that approaches what Collins did with Kat and Prim and Gale and Peeta. The complexity's not there, of necessity, but neither is the depth of emotion, or harrowing trauma or the level of dilemmas that Collins posited.
She didn't gut me at all, and that's the trademark of what the trilogy did to me.

Basically, "Bird of Paradise" kicks "The Hunger Games" bootay. And trinityofone rocks.
There are so many things about the fic that I adored that are either lacking in the novels, or seem to be a direct and deliberate contradiction to the novels, and I like the fic bits better. Or, the novel bits rubbed me wrong because I read and loved the fic first.
