"Maybe there's a beast. Maybe it's only us." - The Lord of The Flies. Evil is within us all. And The Hunger Games brings that out for everyone to see. (Closed SYOT. New readers are welcome though :) !)

"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!)

Por el honor, por tu familia, por la Gloria. La Federación, un país de lo que antigüamente se conocía como América Latina, celebra anualmente "Los Juegos del Hambre"; tal y como Panem, 12 distritos, 24 tributos, combatirán entre si por la gloria eterna.

A story chronicling the life of Finnick Odair, Panem's golden boy and the youngest victor in the history of the Hunger Games

The Capitol was bored. The Hunger Games were getting boring. The Capitol needed something more to watch when the Hunger Games weren't on. So, Snow thought of a new game to play. The Marriage Initiative! A new show to watch throughout the year and would give Snow even more power. How will 16-year Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark handle now being forced to get married?

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?

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.

We might call ourselves civilized, but deep inside, we're nothing more than beasts. Anyone who enters will have to make the choice between leaving with their life or their humanity. Let the 95th Annual Hunger Games begin. Rated T because it's the Hunger Games. (SYOT closed. Thanks to everyone who submitted a tribute!) (BLOODBATH OUT!)

"That's what nettles me. It's the implication that there's something going on between Gale and Madge. And I don't like it." Madge finds herself in Gale's debt when a trip to the square before the Victory dinner takes a turn for the worse. Rated T for mild sexual violence. Revised & Expanded from original one-shot. 08/22.

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

Follow three tributes - the crafty Aurora Underwood of District 1, the conflicted Athens Prescott of District 8, and the protective Hampshire Fairway of District 10 - as they navigate the catacombs of the 66th Annual Hunger Games.

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

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."

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

Dyson, a fifteen-year-old from District 5, has always dreaded having his name called at the reaping. Then, his worst fears come true. Thrust into the Sixty-eighth Hunger Games, he must overcome the odds in order to return to his friends and family.

This truly intriguing idea fell into my head, and it would not leave me alone. I don't think a pairing like this exists, which made me wonder all the more: what if Katniss had a romance with Peeta's father, the Baker? Impossible, you say? A we-didn't-ask-for-this kind of pairing? Or is it a pairing we never knew we needed? Read to find out! Review if you wish. And above all, enjoy!

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)

There are always those that are burdened with memories. They can never forget those that are gone. But even if they aren't ready, the cycle is about to start all over again. The 124th Hunger Games is just around the corner, and there's no telling what that could mean for Panem.

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.
