Summary
District 8 is still bleeding. Decades after the failed Second Rebellion, the weight of Capitol control crushes even the smallest spark, with Eight's people barely stitched together from the loss and silence. Seventeen-year-old Callan Corduroy is one of them - an orphan taken in by survivors and raised among the ruins. But when his name is drawn for the 94th Hunger Games, everything begins to unravel.
Thrown into the spectacle, Callan faces more than just the arena’s horrors. Beneath his quiet exterior lies a truth he's never told, one that would guarantee a brutal death if discovered. As the Capitol's Games begin, Callan must fight not only to survive, but to keep his true identity hidden - because some threads, if pulled, could bring everything crashing down.
Will he hold himself together, or will he be torn apart at the seams?

Summary
Panem is still reeling from the unexpected resolution of the Third Quarter Quell. Every day brings another riot, another sabotage. Bit by bit, the Capitol’s hold on the districts is weakening, even lost in some places. And with another Hunger Games scheduled, the nation’s rulers are desperate to scrape together something, anything to suitably punish the districts and satiate the Capitol citizens as normal in a year like no other.
In District Nine, there is at least one person who would rather ignore the impending war, forget the past terrible year, and try to move on with his life. However, just like so many others, he’s not going to be given much of a choice.
Let the Games begin.Series

Summary
After the bombing of District Twelve, the Second Rebellion fails. Years pass, and it's time for the 100th Hunger Games.
For this Quarter Quell, all tributes must be relatives of those who rebelled.
Harper Smith's parents told her not to worry. The Smiths have been outstanding citizens for generations. They're good friends with the peacekeepers. They took no part in the rebellion. They certainly aren't related to anyone who did.
So why, then, did Harper receive a letter saying she was in the reaping pool? Why does it say she's related to Johanna Mason, a woman she's never met?
Can she, a rich merchant girl, even win this?

Summary
"They can't hurt me. I'm not like the rest of you. There's nobody left I love."
Johanna Mason has made a critical, life altering error. An error that results in char, ash, and graves. Resentful, angry, and turbulent Johanna is back in the Capitol more frequently than before. An example has been made of her, another example in President Snow's many references to hold up to other Victors. An example that says: look here, look at how I own you, how even their deaths will not free you, how your own death will not free you. Being the bitch with the axe the Capitol has prescribed her as is easier now than ever, but it has always just been an act. So easy that Johanna wonders if this- the fire, the rage, the defiance- was always something in her, carved in bone.

Summary
196 years in, and the Hunger Games have never been more popular, at least in the ratings that matter. With entire dynasties of victors, record breaking performances, and the most unique and exciting arenas ever, the Capitol spends every summer enthralled. Victors stand at the height of celebrity, beholden to the whims of the public. The districts are left to live with the Games however they can.
A career dreams of being a hero and champion for his district. A legacy must survive the consequences for the decisions of victors who came before her. A caretaker cannot allow her dying mother or loving girlfriend to see her give up. A victor is tasked with keeping his first tribute alive while still learning to cope with his own survival.
24 tributes will enter the arena. 24 mentors will guide them. 24 families will watch and hope they come home. In the end, only one can survive.
This is not an NSFW fic, but it does deal with mature themes surrounding the way those in the spotlight are abused.

Summary
Oliver huffs. “Would they actually let me die if I jumped?”
Alana snorts. “Nah, kid. You'd just bounce right back up here. I tried. Didn't work."
Oliver hums. How grim. “Do you hate me, Alana?”
Alana pauses. “Wow, you really don't fuck around, huh. Just straight to the point.”
Oliver doesn't look away from her. “Yes.
Alana laughs again, but it's bitter. "Okay, kid. Okay. No, I don't hate you.”
"Really? Your open hostility towards me sends an entirely different message," Oliver says.
"I don't hate you. I just hate what your being here means.”
Oliver frowns, confused. She doesn't say anything else on it, but her gaze shifts past him.Oliver turns to follow it, and it lands on Finnick.
He's inside the apartment, watching them intently through glass doors. He doesn’t flinch away when he gets caught. Instead some sort of pained look crosses his face just for a moment, then he walks out of sight.
Oliver's toes and fingers grow numb again, his heart flutters anxiously like a caged bird in his chest.

Summary
I'm a huge Yellowjackets and Hunger Games fan, so I figured why not write a MistyNat Hunger Games AU?
•
The odds were always in Misty Quigley's favor, she was from District 3, well educated, her parents were well-paid doctors, and she had made it to seventeen without being reaped. But they were never in Nat Scatorccio's favor, she grew up in a cramped home in an area of District 7 that was anything but affluent. She lost her father when she was fifteen, gained an addiction to tobacco, and had to work in the forests of Seven for hours since her mid teen years. Both of their lives are upturned when their names are picked from the fateful glass bowl, and they're sent into the 72nd Hunger Games.
•
I tried to keep the characters as similar as they were in canon, but I did have to take some liberties, mainly in the backstory department, because they are obviously in a very different world.Series

Summary
“On the seventy-fifth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that the strongest among them were left to make the most difficult decisions, the male and female tributes will be chosen by their district’s pool of Victors. This year, there will be no volunteers.”
or
One mentor nearly tasted back-to-back victories. Now she’s prepared to restore her district to glory.
Another pulled a Victor from the arena last year. She’s ready to repeat the feat, and prove that her kids are true contenders.
One Victor survived a Quarter Quell at thirteen. This year, she’s mentoring in a second one at thirty-eight.
A fourth mentor wants his daughter to enter the ring. He knows that she is the secret to breaking the drought of Victors from their home.
Yet another will do anything to pull a Victor. She’s choosing someone who can come out, without leaving the best parts of themselves behind in the arena.
And the sixth? Well, he’ll be glad when his chosen tribute dies, and there is nothing left for him to care about.
The Seventy-fifth Games are upon us, and the twist and the playing field are entirely different. In a year where Victors select their tributes, anything goes.

Summary
My imagining of if Annie Cresta got her own prequel like Sunrise.
Nobody likes a mad woman. And certainly, nobody could ever love one.
When the reaping begins for the Seventieth Hunger Games, Annie Cresta volunteers. She's trained for this her whole life. She made the decision herself. It should be easy.
But as the arena draws closer, Annie finds herself caught in a net. It's not just her reasons for volunteering threatening to unravel, but the impossible feelings growing for her mentor, Finnick Odair. Once, he called her a mermaid. Now he wants her to become one, at least in the eyes of the Capitol.
Yet nothing can prepare her for what it means to watch children die up close, or what it takes to survive them. As Annie's grip on reality begins to fracture under the weight of Capitol spectacle, torture, and a rebellion that may or may not exist, she finds solace in the one person who will tell her what's real.
Even if he's drowning in secrets of his own.- a slow-burn pre-canon Annie x Finnick prequel. Canon-compliant but inspired by ABOSAS and SOTR, things are open for different interpretation and explained by unreliable narration and Capitol propaganda in the trilogy.

Summary
The Empire rules the galaxy with a suffocating iron fist. The perfect conditions for rebellion. To curb this, Emperor Palpatine brings back an ancient Sith tradition to produce the most vicious apprentice, arena gladiator-style games.
But instead of wannabe apprentices competing in the no-rules battle of death and survival, it is instead what those who rebel act out for, their children.
Run by the Inquisitorious, comprised of Sith servants and past force-sensitive victors, and the Gamemasters, the other victors and select Imperial minds, the Games serve as a reminder of the price of acting out, on live broadcast for the whole galaxy to witness.
A hundred or more children from all over the galaxy, from Force sensitives, escaped padawans, caught criminals, to children of rebels, are all brought to Couracant once a year. For the Force sensitives and padawans, it is their only chance out of a death sentence, for criminals, a clean slate, and for children of the rebellious, it could save their families' lives.
But only to one.
Only to the Victor.
But one thing’s for sure in this game, no one is a tribute by chance.Series
