"Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it."

A rewrite of my first SYOT.

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?

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.

Peeta Mellark realizes he isn't happy giving up his dreams of having his own family. He is at odds with himself, longing to have a child with the love of his life, Katniss Everdeen.

To be another perfect rose among a beautiful bouquet is hard; even more so when a deadly pageant is the crowning factor of if you're fit to behold the name and celebrate fame or be relegated to obscurity.

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.

Hestia Olympia, Victor of the 146th Hunger Games, overhears the Head Gamemaker talking about this year's arena. Now certain that 2 will get its long deserved next Victory, Hestia sits down to strategize. That's when she realizes she has no idea what a Disneyland is. SYOT closed.

It has been five years since Julius Nepos took hold of the Capitol and reigned as its President. In that five years he had catapulted the Games to newer levels, thanks in part to his Head Gamemaker and now he focuses his grip on the Victors, controlling what they do and say, using them as his play things, eagerly waiting for his next play thing to come out. OPEN SYOT

The 'Flower of Panem' or 'Angel of Mercy', Seraphine Reza is the jewel and pride of Panem. One of their most treasured victors in the history of the Hunger Games and a favorite of President Snow. While she smiles, comforts and plays her part every time the games start again, in her mind, her own game never ended. She keeps her enemies close and plays the part of the perfect victor.

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.

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

To die is a privilege—the largest suffering in this world is living. Welcome to the 100th Hunger Games. SYOT.

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.

Nicoletta was the winner of the 68th Hunger Games, a Victor from District 12, the only one apart from Haymitch. For the past 6 years, she was a mentor, forced to watch kids die. The Games caused problems for her like every other Victor. She thinks this will be continuous and nothing will change, but will these two tributes change what's been going on for 74 years previously?
