    Part Two- The Victors

    The long shots of District Twelve have somehow survived the Quarter Quell.
    The Capitol citizens might be elated, but President Snow isn't too happy about it.
    Now back home, they have to deal with deep trauma from their Games, protecting their families at all cost, and a very persistent Plutarch Heavensbee trying to recruit them into his rebellion plan...

    Summary

    “Fuck you,” Haymitch had spit through gritted teeth.

    Seneca had breathed a weak laugh, holding a palm to his stinging jaw. “Why don’t you just fuck me yourself, you coward?”

    It had then occurred to Haymitch, seething with pure rage and having nothing good to do with it, that the man made perfectly good sense. So he fucked him. Again and again. For years. For decades, really — until it stopped feeling like retaliation and started feeling like something worse. Something he couldn’t dismiss as survival or spite. Something uncomfortably familiar.

    Summary

    Haymitch felt confident that this was another punishment dictated by Snow. How many names in that bowl were Burdock’s? Was it all of them? He felt an overwhelming urge to find out. It would be easy. All he had to do was knock the bowl on the ground and watch it break into a million pieces, the Capitol’s regime shattering with it as everyone realized that there were no odds to be in favor of. The outcome of the Games was manipulated from the start.

    or

    When Haymitch first wakes up on the day of the reaping, his only goal is to make it through his first year as a mentor without falling apart. After his former best friend is selected to be that year's male tribute, however, his goal becomes to stop the 51st Hunger Games before they even begin.

    Summary

    Madam President, wouldn't you like a war trophy?—Plutarch leaned even forward in his chair —Instead of tearing the Capitol's face off, claim it as your own by placing it under your boot. And it would be even more humiliating for the Capitol if its face were happy to be in that position. Imagine Snow watching that spectacle! The heart attack would save us some work.

    Alma coin manipulates Snow's 21-year-old granddaughter to use her as a propaganda weapon and for her own pleasure in seeing miss Snow humiliated.

    Summary

    "To remind the Capitol that their nefarious deeds will never be forgotten, twenty-four children are reaped from their families to participate in a Battle Royale. Unlike its predecessor, the tributes are chosen at random despite their age, sex, and societal status."

    The voice chuckled over the last line, as if disbelieving any of the kids from the Capitol were beyond poorer than the high middle-class citizens.

    "Of course, tributes who refuse to participate within the rules of the game will have their shock collars activated.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the first ever Royale Capitol Games, with it also being the Fourth Quarter Quell from the discontinued series of the Hunger Games."

    The announcer laughs, unaware of the sheer number of Capitol parents who have fainted from the live announcement. They were giddy for a while at having to recite the dreaded line, along with a sickening twist added by the end.

    "And may the odds ever grant you their favors."

    (In where the Symbolic Hunger Games happened much later in the future, and the Games aren't exactly what everyone expects)

    Summary

    Maysilee Donner never expected to open her eyes to see another day. Stripped almost completely of her voice and with wounds that were never going to close, she woke up in a room alone with bandages around her neck, arms, and chest. She remembered those damned pink bird Mutts and Haymitch holding her dying body, crying for her and making one last promise. Somehow, the one who fulfilled it was her.

    The ice fragmented completely and she fell suddenly into the freezing water that penetrated her skin like sharp blades. Her ears filled with water and the sound was blocked completely at last, just floating in the freezing darkness that was finally going to give her the rest she so longed for.

    For once, survival isn’t enough.

    Summary

    The victor of the Fiftieth, over the years.

    Collection of one shots that take place in between the 2nd QQ and 74th HG.

    Please read “The Definition of Dignity,” first! Lots of context needed, though some one-shots might be okay without it.

    If you’re too lazy to, here’s the long story short: Maysilee wins the Games, but her family (including her twin), and Lenore Dove die. She gets prostituted once, but she kills the client. She also has an eating disorder and a self-harm problem.

    A follow up of the book.
    Haymitch does his best to sober up, while trying to be a good mentor.
    Although the sheering pain in his abdomen and the grief and guilt following him every step of the way, make it incredibly hard.
    Luckily he finds an alley in a rebellious elite and maybe something more.

    Summary

    “T-Trust Plutarch,” Haymitch had whispered in her ear, blood spilling from his lips with every exhale, “trust Beetee.”

    Of all the last words Haymitch could’ve given her, those had confused Maysilee to no end. But after Haymitch’s death, she hadn’t had time to go over what he could’ve meant by them. Then, once the Games were over, Maysilee did all she could to avoid thinking about her time in the arena. She’d almost buried the memory in her mind, but now that she’s face to face with Plutarch again, she knows she has to trust the words of a dead boy.

    “Why did Haymitch trust you?” She asks.

    In the dark, Maysilee can barely make out Plutarch’s raised eyebrows. “What did he tell you?”

    “I asked you first.”

    Plutarch huffs out something that almost could be a laugh. “That’s fair. I’ll give it to you in a nutshell then: there was a lot more going on in your Games than you might’ve realized, and Haymitch played a big role in that.”

    or, Maysilee and Plutarch have a conversation during the Victory Tour.

    Summary

    “Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great honour to present to you the Victors of District 12, Maysilee Donner and Haymitch Abernathy!”

    In the aftermath of the 50th Hunger Games, tragic pair Haymitch Abernathy and Maysilee Donner are thrust into the Capitol’s spotlight for a Victory Tour designed to rewrite their story and solidify their loyalty to the system that nearly destroyed them.

    As trusted allies suffer for the failed attempt to destroy the arena, the Capitol's tragic "golden pair" are forced into a lie...under the watchful eye of Plutarch Heavensbee and suffocating expectations of Effie Trinket.

    And so beneath the spectacle, the truth fractures. As each district stop reopens old wounds and the Capitol tightens its grip, Haymitch and Maysilee must navigate their own feelings and come to terms with their future.
