    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

    “They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—”
    “Rock and roll.”
    He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.”
    “Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.”

    After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.

    (genuinely not apologising for the slow-burn in this fic anymore. You've been warned <3)
