    Summary

    On her dressing table, a sheet of paper, half folded under a bottle of her favorite, rarely-used perfume.

    She teased it out with a finger. It unfolded all by itself.

    I love you, he had written in his distinctive handwriting. The words were as plain as the nose on her face.

    Summary

    Rokia grew up in District Six, where "Stay Alive" is good advice well before the Arena. When she's Reaped for the 71st Games, she counts on good instincts to keep her alive for the people at home who need her. Her mentor, Phillips, knows better than to hope, but she catches him hard from the start.

    But for Victors in Panem, the Games are just the beginning.

    Summary

    Tributes, victors, mentors, people who love them. Their lives, their deaths; who remembers, who doesn't.

    Character exploration, missing scenes and backstory for canon and original characters: how the District 2 Career Centre makes its tributes, how they win their Games and how their mentors put them back together. How some rebel, some don't and some never get the chance.

    We grew up in golden light
    Every chance to get it right
    What did we do with it?

    It’s gone, what I had back then is gone
    Can’t get it back again

    Sorry for the things we should have done
    Sorry for the kids we pushed too far
    Sorry now for all the lonely hearts who can’t move on because

    We waited

    For love, for dreams in the night
    For days to come when we’d be all right
    I can’t remember why I did the things I did
    I was just a kid

    All the lines we knew back then, they now are faded
    All the laws we once obeyed, they have betrayed us
    People that I used to hate, I hardly remember
    Forgive the children we once were

    Summary

    Koschei's name was drawn the year before hers, and he slaughtered almost half the tribute field personally, claiming the first victory for their District and becoming an overnight sensation. Media darling Caesar Flickerman had dubbed him The Master, a title that stuck, and he plays his part well, but as soon as the cameras are off, darkness always comes floating back towards the surface. He mentored Theta while his own pain was still fresh, and dismissed her as a lost cause as soon as the second name was drawn. The other tribute for District 3 that year was Koschei's friend, classmate, and neighbor, and Koschei all but told her that he would throw her to the wolves and focus the entirety of his attention on supporting her male counterpart.

    That favoritism did not matter in the end. His friend died first, and Theta won the shortest games on record. Thirty-six hours, one meticulously engineered mass slaughter, and it was over.

    Fifteen years have passed since then, and he still has not forgiven her.

    Summary

    "Imagine me deciding to feel bad about everything I’ve ever done, and then imagine what kind of life I’ll have. Because I’m not brave enough to live in some fucked up eighteen-hundreds-style purgatory. I’d rather die. There’s no one who wants me, and there’s no one who will. Which is exactly what someone like me deserves, isn’t it?" A story about a broken boy, who is learning how not to break everything else around him.
