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.

"Sink me in the river, at dawn; send me away with the words of a love song." A shattered Panem rests on the shoulders of a faltering poet, while a betrothed sews an invisible plan, and all the while the Games go on and on. Nobody knows it, but things are about to change. (SYOT Closed!)

"They won't be broken, even if it feels like they don't have a choice." The second installment of The Cut Verse (SYOC).

Inspired by The Victor’s Project by Oisin55 and Tales of the Hunger Games by Christian Blanco, The Hunger Games:Victors Retold tells the stories of all 75 victors of the Hunger Games, both canon and non-canon. Most chapters are around 500 words, which is perfect for any Hunger Games fans looking for a quick look into the archives of Panem.

Olive Navin Cresta felt lost. Everyone told her that she would get better. That she would remember everything at some point. But those were only empty words, promising a future that could never be granted to her. "I feel like I'm losing myself, and there's nothing anyone can do to help me. Not even you, Finnick."

Kismet-noun: definition: destiny; fate. Panem has found a new sense of hope. A hope that permeates through the hearts of the nation's poorest, hungriest, and weakest, giving them strength in the notion that there is something worth fighting for. It is up to President Tiberius Stone to kill that hope, and remind Panem that the Hunger Games are their kismet. (SYOT CLOSED 24/24 alive)

The caged bird doesn't sing: it weeps. For a gilded cage is still a cage, no matter how beautiful it is. Welcome to the 88th Hunger Games. SYOT closed, readers always welcome :)

Annihilation: complete destruction or obliteration; total defeat. Crusade: a vigorous campaign for political, social, or religious change. Children: our grand triumph; our greatest sin.

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. Until, that is, she meets Cato Hadley, the newest Victor who is pleasantly naïve about the horrors of the Capitol. Cato/OC

"Secrets are contagion. They multiply and never stop spreading." (A dyot-verse tie-in.)

The Hunger Games have been a beloved tradition for centuries, and have undergone immense transformation throughout that time. But what happened in each edition of the games to shape them into what they are today? Here are the stories of every Hunger Games ever enacted upon the citizens of Panem. This is 23 Cannons.

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.

One year has passed since the war ended. Katniss and Peeta, having fought their way through loss, grief, and flashbacks, finally have peace within their grasp, but can they keep hold of it when the Capitol recalls the Mockingjay? AU, but based on canon.

After the Sixth Quarter Quell, the peace Panem has seen for the last 75 years has been shattered. Two leaders assassinated. A country on the verge of war. With a rebellion looming ever closer, the Capitol has one last shot to stop the renegades and keep the peace. Can the mistakes of the past be righted or will the Third Rebellion be ignited by the renegades?

SYOT Closed. 24 children marked for the reaper, running from inevitability, because what they should really fear is what's already inside of them.

Everyone knows that the Hunger Games are about violence, but real fans know the truth: they're also romantic. The blood, the roses, the tension, the fashion, the dreams of money and fame. The Hunger Games are the union of violence and romance, and these tributes are about to go on their honeymoon. (CLOSED SYOT, readers can sponsor). My 3rd SYOT!

"We both know they have to have a victor. It can only be one of us. Please, take it. For me." Peeta says, giving Katniss the idea to beat The Capitol with Nightlock. Only, what if Peeta never says that line? What will happen if there truly needs to be one Victor?

The Capitol has fallen and President Coin is dead. Now is the time for Panem to decide what it wants to become.

He's the perfect Career: athletic, heartless, and trained to kill. She's a nameless District 8 orphan; weak, starving, yet stunningly clever.

Will Rochelle and August find a way to survive this new twist, or will they be lost to history?
