    Summary

    “That was too pessimistic,” Finnick chides you after you finish your interview with Caesar Flickerman. You continue walking quickly, forcing your mentor to quicken his pace.

    “I’m just being realistic,” you maintain, struggling to make sense of everything that just happened. To think, a mere week ago, you were a normal citizen in District 4. Now, you’re a sacrifice. You feel a shiver roll down your spine. “I’m probably going to die.” Your stomach churns unpleasantly at the thought. You’re not at peace with it, not in the slightest. But you also know that living with false hope is pointless.

    Summary

    There’s salt and sweat and tears running down her face and she’s still angry, angrier than she’s been in years. She can feel that familiar ache coming back to her fingertips and she swore she wouldn’t kill again after the arena, she knows she’ll regret it if she ever goes back to it, and yet she’s itching and jumping out of her skin with the urge to draw blood.

    Cashmere only mentors once.

    She picks a hell of a year.

    Summary

    Burn Butcher Burn is the story of the Capitol through the eyes of Catalina Cain, who’s a lot of things. Most notably: heiress who lived and died by pretty lies, handmaiden to President Snow’s reign of terror, and the leader of his "engineering" team. She’s also Finnick Odair’s friend, and an integral cog in the rebellion, and atoning. A hand of vengeance, instrument of grace; woman, who remembers fireplace ashes and sparklers stuck into cakes.

    AKA: Ashley wanted more Capitol worldbuilding, so goddammit, Ashley's going to provide that.

    Burn Butcher Burn and the story of Catalina Cain originally appeared in two different forms: The Rest Of Us Just Are, a short story-type fic from a defunct zine and The Necromancer's Ballad, which appeared on various Discords throughout the year. Sorry if you liked this, because it's changed a good bit! But at least it's longer now? And yes, that is a Witcher reference. And yes, I am mad that they replaced Henry Cavill. Thank you and goodnight!

    Summary

    Dr. Gaul sees a disobedient child; a defying, scheming, prudent little boy. A boy who thinks he can slither away in the ranks, unscathed and victorious.

    Dr. Gaul sees a young, impressionable, breakable little thing. An animal that needs to be tamed. Yes, she can certainly shape that misbehaving brat to her will.

    ———

    In other words, Coriolanus is sentenced to a life of experimentation under Dr. Gaul for his cheating in the games.

    Summary

    “Everyone has been generous in expressing their opinion about Lucy Gray, so what’s yours?” Coriolanus shot his mother a tentative glance. It mattered to him, what she thought.

    His mother’s lips curled into a genuine smile “oh I like her, Coriolanus. She has something special, I could tell”

    Coriolanus hummed in agreement, then followed with a word of contradiction “it seems she’ll be of more use to me before the games than during, though, if all she can do is sing”

    “Don’t write her off just yet. A person is capable of the most unthinkable things, when driven to utter desperation. That which you’d never expect Lucy Gray capable of, might just be what will take you, and everyone else, by surprise in the end”

    Perhaps his mother’s words carried some truth. Perhaps Lucy Gray was more than sweet tunes, blown kisses and addicting charisma.

    He’d have to make something of her, and he could. He was a Snow after all.

    ------
    A deep-dive and rewrite of TBOSAS that answers the question of what if Coriolanus's parents both lived to raise him?

    And what if that meant a worse fate for any and all involved...

    Summary

    “I’m being smart,” Clove replied, almost smiling. “It be easier to take him down together and then you than the other way around. If you prove useful, I probably even give you a fair chance.” She winked, waved a small knife like a farewell handkerchief to a departing lover.

    “I could just put an arrow in your back while you’re walking away,” Katniss said quietly. “Wait out the others.”

    Clove turned around, holding her arm close to her side as Katniss had instructed her to. Despite everything—the sling, the blood—she moved with a kind of savage elegance, like she hadn’t heard a word of the threat. She didn’t look back, like she wasn’t afraid of anything Katniss might do.

    “I’m waiting,” she said, vanishing into the trees like she already knew Katniss would follow.

     

    Or,

    a chance meeting on the rooftop puts Katniss on the radar of a certain Career from District 2.

    Summary

    *SOTR Inspired/Kind of Spoiler-y*

    “That’s not Annabelle.”

    Mags sighed, a low sound full of displeasure, but not surprise. “No. No, this is not the Annabelle Cresta that we sent into the arena.”

    Or

    What if Capitol medicine could not save the Victor?

    Summary

    Tomorrow he has to put on a face. A face of potential, someone who seems just the slightest bit capable of living up to a higher standard. But how does one just do that? So far he’s only failed.
    He can’t cope with it. He is still sure he has plenty of alcohol in him, tainting his abilities in the moment. But he knows one thing.
    He can’t save these kids.

    Seven years ago Jayce lived through the Hunger Games and could call himself Victor. But to be fair, if he's anything . . . it's Capitol's slave.

    Summary

    What would Haymitch have to endure if Lenore Dove did not die at his Homecoming? What if she was able to escape District 12, with the threat of her discovery hanging over Haymitch's head?

    **this explores the prolonged trauma that Victors face after their Games. Lenore Dove's safety is held over Haymitch's head, and he's treated similarly to other known Victors. (more information in the notes)
    ---
    How dare you, Haymitch Abernathy, she'll say, for taking my goodbye away from me.

    He pulls away and pushes her towards her uncles, surprising her into another pause. He's thankful to Clerk Carmine now, for grabbing her and keeping her close as Haymitch begins to run across the meadow.

    "Haymitch!" she calls after him. She continues to call his name, pleading for him to come back. Her voice becomes shrill and despairing, and Haymitch was right. His heart breaks in two, and he leaves half of it with Lenore Dove in the meadow.

    Summary

    Pain and nightmares haunt Juniper, the victor of the 140th Hunger Games. With the guidance of her former mentor, Juniper begins to forage her way through the chaos and frustration of trying to mentor her first year as victor. Perhaps it would be more manageable if her tribute had better prospects, or maybe if unwanted rumors didn't get spread to the eager gossips of the Capitol. Regardless, she must use her skills and deal with her bubbling anger as best she can to give her tribute the chance she deserves.

    This is the story of an 18-year-old girl who overcame the odds and emerged victorious, only to be broken by the life that follows. And perhaps it is also the story of a girl who slowly begins to heal despite the tragedy she's been dealt.


    This AU explores the behind-the-scenes of the Hunger Games from the perspective of a new mentor. And all the drama, chaos, romance, and vase-smashing that goes with it.

    Summary

    As the Seventy-Fourth Hunger Games approach, the idea of a free Panem is mere wishful thinking, but there are some who wonder how a country can recover from so many years of brutal dictatorship. Sooner than they ever dared to hope, they will turn their plans into reality and put a regime on trial, but the path to getting justice for an entire nation will be long and difficult.

    Summary

    Alma Coin's dictatorial tendencies don't go unnoticed by everyone; over the years, a faction splits from her rebellion and seeds itself through the districts. They have no resources, weapons, or strongholds, but they do have eyes and ears. And so they infiltrate and gather intelligence from both sides, waiting until the time when they can save Panem from President Snow and Alma Coin.

    When Brutus is pulled from the 75th Arena and accidentally resuscitated by a squad of District 2 Peacekeepers, the second resistance takes a chance. Coin considers District 2 an acceptable sacrifice -- a convenient scapegoat, full of loyalist traitors -- but after all, one man's trash is another man's treasure.

    A fix-it that isn't; nothing is rosy, nothing is easy, but maybe a few lives will be saved along the way. Follows canon through the Quarter Quell and diverges at "A District Upside Down".
