Summary
For years, the price on his head had pushed Caleb to hiding in forests, to keeping his head down and face masked in dirt as he flitted between derelict outskirt villages of the Empire- away from anyone who mighty have caught sight of the ransom posters that showcased his face, and the hefty sum of gold promised in reward for his return. Interest began to die, and Caleb dared to hope the worst of the ransom was behind him.
But when it's Mollymauk under Lorenzo's blade, seconds away from death- Caleb is faced with the weight of his past, and a damning decision.
There was only one choice, because he'd been foolish enough to get attached.
Lorenzo's attention sharpens into a hunger as he mentions it - one hundred thousand gold- and Caleb knows his days of running are over.
It was worth it. It had to be.

Summary
Thjazi likes to tell himself that if he knew how this would go he would have done things differently. When he looks back, there are branching paths, clear as day, that would have led somewhere else. Better or worse, it wouldn't have been this way.
This isn't his story, though. It's Azune's.

Summary
It had been weeks since Haymitch won and weeks more since Burdock showed him Lenore Dove’s grave. Long enough for the leaves to look like blood and the trees to die with summer.
It was the first school year Haymitch would not attend, not because he wasn’t allowed to but because he knew that in less than a year, when the world had life again, he’d be leading two of his old classmates to their deaths.

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?

---
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.
