Summary
This world is easy for her, with her ax. When she's bored she swings it and pretends she’s fighting monsters or protecting a princess. When she is angry she grabs the ax and chops logs; as she swings and swings and swings she can pretend it is not wood she’s cutting, but some physical form of what it is that’s making her rage. When she’s nine, she imagines her annoying classmate Lawrence Simmons’ face on the log, and the log after that, and by evening her parents are pleased at how much work she’s done.
When she’s ten, she pretends it’s a peacekeeper’s head she’s chopping, and sometimes it’s President Snow’s: it’s at the age of ten what she realizes 'killing game' means, and that once someone is dead, they don’t come back.
(or: Johanna Mason's life, her victory in the 71st Hunger Games, and the aftermath.)

Summary
Before she was the axe-wielding rebel, Johanna Mason was a girl playing the Capitol’s game a little too well. Sent into the arena with nothing but a lie and a snarl, she pretends to be weak—but behind the facade is a killer waiting to strike.
This is the brutal, bloody, and bitter truth of how Johanna won the Hunger Games and what the Capitol took from her in return. -

Summary
Johanna Mason wasn’t always cold. She never would have considered herself particularly sweet, or gentle, or patient, but she wasn’t heartless. She had people she loved and she loved them fiercely.
Then the Hunger Games came, and the Capitol, and Johanna watched as everyone she cared about was taken from her until all she had left was herself, her heart twisted and hardened like a knot in the bark of an ancient tree. So she closed herself off even more, her glares and harsh words cutting people down before they had the chance to plant roots around her. So, no, Johanna Mason wasn’t always heartless. But no one escapes the Hunger Games with their heart intact.

Summary
“It’s messy. It hurts. It destroys. It leaves you empty, broken, weak, and alone when it’s over.
And that’s exactly what I don’t want to be. Empty, broken, weak, and alone.”
===
Seventeen-year-old Johanna Mason has never known safety—not at home, not in her district, and certainly not in herself. With a secret she’s never let anyone see, she’s learned the only way to survive and protect those she cares about is to act like nothing can touch her. When she’s reaped for the Seventieth Hunger Games, Johanna discovers that sometimes, the best weapon is the one no one sees coming.
Events prior to Johanna's games, but prior to the 74th Games.

Summary
Aiden doesn't like thinking. He also doesn't like disappointing his friends (especially Ashlyn.) Unfortunately, this time, he has to do both--and when he tries to avoid it, it nearly costs him everything.
OR
Aiden's failing his classes, and his parents issue him an ultimatum; either he gets at least Cs in all his classes by the end of the grading period, or he loses his allowance. That is, the allowance that he and the others rely on for supplies--and right now, they really need gas for their next expedition with the jeep.Takes place in a sort of AU where Tyler did not die during their encounter with the centipede phantom, and Aiden did not die in the school building (they have not gone to the school yet.) As a result, their parents also do not know about the phantom realm yet and they're still trying to drive to Savannah.
COMPLETE! :D
