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

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?

A darker tale, in an alternate universe, of the final years of the Capitol's reign through the eyes of a previous victor. Certain chapters will have trigger warnings.

"Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies" -TOOL In the 107th Hunger Games tributes will be confronted with a multitude of challenges. They will face off against themselves and each other in a bid to survive. Who will come out on top? (SYOT Closed)

The Hunger Games, but from Mrs Everdeen's perspective / POV

These are the Behind the Scenes drabbles and deleted scenes from The Lady of the Lake, as requested by reviewers. Including stories from Finnick, Cato, Katniss, Deccia, Peeta and many more.

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."

"Finnick and Taiya have kept up with their training more than any other tribute," Haymitch said shaking his head. "They'd both kill and die for each other. I'm serious Katniss, do not cross them. She's actually a very lovely young lady, friends with just about every victor there is, she'll be last on their kill list."

(Discontinued) Prelude in D Flat Major, Op. 28 No. 15 by Fryderyk Chopin, is a Romanticist piano piece that evokes the sound of rain. In the romantic, rainy Arena of the 28th Hunger Games, who will survive? Partial SYOT closed, but reviews are appreciated!

(Discontinued) Thirteen-year-old Mizuki Slater of District 2 has a happy life. She fits in nicely with the nerds at school. She has a loving family. She lives without fear of the Games. But changes come for Mizuki when she unexpectedly becomes a tribute in the 29th Annual Hunger Games. Scared but not backing down, can she survive? Partial SYOT closed, but readers are appreciated!

Peeta and Katniss just got home from the Games. Katniss is battling with herself on whether she should let Peeta into her life or not. By her own indecisiveness, she has hurt Peeta again. This story is bit different from the rest. Gale is present, but only as her best friend. This story will take us through the Victory Tour, the Quarter Quell and the war. It's up to Katniss.

"This is the story of a punishment two brothers created. A President and a Gamemaker who decided the 12 Districts must pay with the blood of two children each year. The Hunger Games. Panem will never be the same again" - Patrick Roseforge. (9/50)

"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.

peeta flips katniss's life upside down, and she takes her turn flipping his. their relationship is exciting, topsy-turvy, emotional... it's the realest thing she's ever had. no one would want them to be together - that is, if anyone knew they were together at all.

The 73rd Hunger Games were cold, depressing, and soul-killing. Almost exactly the same as the ones before it. Aces Smith faces her demons as well as everyone else's to get back home. Gale/OC. I own nothing you know. The story is better, I promise.

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.

Why was Katniss given a score of eleven?

Compare me to none, I got the heart of a champion! The 88th Hunger Games have arrived and Head Gamemaker Cassius is about to debut, nobody, not even the tributes, know what to expect. (Partial Closed SYOT)

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!)

Twenty-four tributes compete in the 35th Annual Hunger Games. They all want to win. Only one will.

This story is set after the interviews with Caesar Flickerman in Catching fire. Snow has delayed the games so that the capital can get a little more fun out of Katniss and Peeta's relationship and can meet the baby that Snow knows is not there.

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!)

As the Capitol watches hungrily, twenty-three lives will burn out, buried forever in the ashes. But one… one will rise up. One will emerge with fiery phoenix wings. From the 52nd Hunger Games, a victor will be born. (Partial SYOT - CLOSED)
