Twenty-four Games and 552 bodies dead on the ground. The Capitol now expects more than senseless killing, craving a show that ends with a star. Head Gamemaker Coriolanus Snow has kept them entertained thus far, and with a new trick up his sleeve, he'll dazzle them once more. This is the year he establishes himself as king. Welcome to the First Quarter Quell.

"As a reminder to the Districts that during the war all sentient beings in the Capitol from household pets, birds, insects, and more, were harmed in the siege and armed attacks, this year all sentient beings between an estimated age of 12-18 will be reaped," said Pres. Snow II. A mermaid, unicorn, pegasus, vampire, zombie, ghost, robot, siren, fairy and elf all enter the games...

Paris Tourmaline, Victor of the 52nd Hunger Games, is stuck at a crossroads. He's desperate to score another win for District One, and it appears like he might have struck gold with his tribute this year.

"We all wear masks, and the time comes when we cannot remove them without removing some of our own skin." Five years have passed since the last Hunger Games. As Panem teeters on the edge of inescapable chaos, there is one final solution to turn to: bring back the Games. Will twenty three lives be enough to bring peace to Panem? [Sequel SYOT to Crown of Thorns]

As the 74th Hunger Games approach, the idea of a free Panem is mere wishful thinking, but there are some who wonder how a country can recover from so many years of brutal dictatorship. Sooner than they ever dared to hope, they will turn their plans into reality and put a regime on trial, but the path to getting justice for an entire nation will be long and difficult. IPOAL prequel.

After the events of the failed Second Rebellion, President Snow famously declared that the 75th Hunger Games would be recreated for the 150th Games to make up for the failed Games. Since that day, the Victors of Panem have dreaded the day they would have to re-enter the Arena. That day has finally arrived. What will it take to outmatch Panem's most dangerous killers?

"May your survival be long, and your death be swift."

"What right do you have to determine what their lives are worth? What right do you have to label them, to kill them, to write them off as meaningless criminals, lost causes and basket cases? What right, Coriolanus? Tell me!" Part III of Dealing With Devils.

It had taken much longer than expected, but like how a Phoenix always arises from the ashes, the capitol and its rightful power over the districts had been born anew. With the fear fresh and the capitol citizens starved for justice, the games are beginning once more- and this time no mockingjay was going to be there to stop it. (SYOT CLOSED)

The 173rd Hunger Games loom as a blood moon rises. When chaos reigns and change hides behind the horizon, what is left of Gods and kings? A child bargains with higher powers. A prince seeks vengeance from the smoldering embers of a once-mighty flame. An architect builds ever higher, the heavens in her eyes and Babel in her shadow. It is the time of Gods, and tribute must be made.

Roselyn Larson won her Games five years ago, and her life has since then become a never-ending trial. Forced into the dark underbelly of Capitol society, she doesn't have much to live for.

There's always more to the game than merely playing by the rules; that's why Career districts win the Hunger Games so often. Even for them, however, nothing is ever guaranteed. [Part I of New Friends, New Enemies]

The rebellion is over, and the Nation of Panem struggles to restore order to the country. Twenty-four tributes, one male and one female from each district, will be offered up to the Capitol as a tribute and be forced to fight to the death in a publicized event known as the Hunger Games. The tributes of these games would be reaped from the children of mayors and high-ranking rebels.

The woman was born in a world of velvety white. Her world was a finite thing. Four walls of padded fabric that was oh so soft under her fingertips, a cold hard floor and a ceiling too high to touch. It was silent in her world. (hayffie, effie centric, canon divergence)
