Summary
Shane lies there, too still and too silent, as the other players on the rink quickly realize something is wrong. Across the ice Ilya can hear Marlow go "fuck, shit, Hollander I didn't—" before he cuts himself off as medics flood onto the ice.
Shane's helmet is torn off. Ilya finds himself watching it skid across the ice, spinning until it hits the boards and it too, comes to a frozen halt.
Medics are yelling. So is Pike, so is Marlow, so are the referees, the coaches, the crowd.
Ilya is silent.
The game clock stops at 19:35 as all play is halted. Stupidly, Ilya wishes it is 19:19. He would do anything to have sixteen more seconds of a standing Shane. Of a smiling Shane. Of an undeniably alive and okay Shane.
Ilya doesn't get what he wants. This is the twelfth time he's watched Shane get knocked down and not get back up. It will probably not be the last.
Ilya is forced to relive the worst day of his life, the 2017 Montreal v. Boston game, where he can do nothing but watch Shane hit the ice over and over again. No matter what he does, it doesn't change the outcome. At least that's what he thinks.

Summary
Wen Yuan meets his aunt’s cold gaze. He sees past the mask Wen Qing always wears on her face, even in her own home, to recognize her concern.
"A-yi,” he says. “It won’t be me.”
“You don’t know that,” she replies. “You know how many times we entered your name in.”
The truth was cruel but undeniable. It's Reaping day after all.
It’s why when Wen Yuan’s name gets read off the piece of paper the Capitol representative pulls out, the first emotion he feels isn’t fear. It is acceptance. And grief.
Wen Yuan is Sect 12's sixty-second Tribute. Despite being raised by a Victor, he knows better than most just how little the odds are in his favor. The Capitol must have their Games, and Wen Yuan will play his part. Yet hints of the rising rebellion dare to throw everything out of balance and drag Wen Yuan and his loved ones into the fray.
This isn't a love story. It's a story about love.

Summary
"Lan Furen?" a quiet voice asks, shaking with nerves. "I'm A-Ying. A-Zhan said I could come here sometimes, if I needed an a-niang."
A-Ying. Li Xiaoyan remembers. A-Zhan had talked all about his friend during their last visit. She had never seen him talk so animatedly about someone else before.
"A-Zhan's friend," she says and she watches A-Ying nod his head up and down as hope beings to flutter across his face. "What are you doing here A-Ying? Past your curfew and across the sect?"
He shifts from foot to foot again, biting his lip. Yet she startles again when she watches tears well up in his eyes as he looks at her with a pleading expression.
"A-Zhan won't wake up!"
Li Xiaoyan, Lan Furen, silently complies with her imprisonment. There's nothing she can do when it could risk what little time she's allowed to see A-Huan and A-Zhan. Yet when a strange little boy stumbles into her house late one night, introducing himself as A-Zhan's friend and pleading for help, Li Xiaoyan doesn't hesitate to stumble her way into a storm to save her children. What she can save is better than what's at risk to lose.

Summary
"It's no problem," Wei Ying says with a shrug. "You ready to have fun with your Ying-ge a-Yuan?"
"No," Wen Yuan says before running off into the apartment. Wei Ying stares after him in silence with his mouth agape. Wen Qing just sighs.
"I thought we were past the terrible twos," she grumbles. "Apparently he likes to be a difficult four. Look, Wei Ying, just keep him alive, pay attention to the allergy list I left on the fridge, and when in doubt play Spirited Away on the TV. He loves that movie."
"I love that movie too!" Wei Ying says. Wen Qing pats him on the shoulder.
"I know."
Wei Ying has never been a good cook, hell, he tries his best to avoid a kitchen by all means necessary. But babysitting a kid with specific needs sometimes means admitting defeat and calling in backup. Luckily Lan Zhan is there to help!

Summary
I should have never let you near me, Jin Zixuan thinks as he opens his eyes again and watches Jiang Yanli stare at him with a fragile expression on her face. We should have loved and let go. We should have never allowed ourselves so close in the first place.
"Yanli," he says. "I don't want to die. I don't know what to do."
Still, even as he says those words, he wants to toss aside his sword. Or maybe plunge it into his heart himself. For her, he thinks he can live his last moments knowing his death kept her alive.
"Please Zixuan," Jiang Yanli begs. "I can't, you don't—please—"
"I won't forget you," he cries. "I have loved you since the moment I first saw you. I wish we could have more time, I wish—"
"Zixuan just shut up for two seconds!" Jiang Yanli screams. "I'm fucking pregnant!"
The Capital has never allowed two Victors to emerge from the Hunger Games. Jin Zixuan knows this, so when it is just him and Jiang Yanli that remain, he knows one of them will have to die. If he wins, he will lose the girl he loves. If he dies, he loses her all the same. But Jiang Yanli's announcement dares to change everything.
