How will a new president manage the internal tensions of the country, and can she bring Panem out of it stronger than ever? SYOT

Her life has no meaning after he killed her family, except for one person. After the events of the 74th Hunger games and a bond with each of the tributes, what will she do. She wants to save both, could it actually be possible? Everlark.

Victor. Mentor. Pawn. These are identities Ceres Rhythe, Victor of the 68th annual Hunger Games, has familiarized herself with in order to survive. But something is changing, a flame rises where there were once bones. From ashes begins conversion. Let the 74th annual Hunger Games begin. Finnick/OC, mild Seneca/OC

A deep poem about living in the Hunger Games.

A short story from a prompt from promptseverlark on Tumblr. "Johanna and Katniss, watching a movie starring Peeta Mellark, a former high schoolmate."

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.

or, an exploration of what might have been. (a revisiting of the balloonverse's finalists- but this time, they win.)

After her father dies of black lung disease and her mother sinks into depression, Katniss is forced to do the unthinkable in order to keep her younger siblings alive and out of the community home. Now, with the unexpected help of the baker's youngest son, she has to figure out how to go from just surviving to thriving in poverty-stricken Twelve. In Panem AU.

When she's reaped for the annual Hunger Games, Embelia Hackett's only goal is to spare her mother the pain of losing her child- but she's unsure how a skinny, malnourished teenager from the poorest district in Panem is supposed to do that. But she's clever, and knows her mind but not her own strength, and she'll do anything to get back home.

Each year, 23 children are sent to their deaths, while one will remain traumatised by their experiences. This year's Hunger Games won't be extraordinary for Capitol viewers, but it will change 24 families forever. Let the 97th Hunger Games begin. (Rated T for violence and coarse language, without other highly mature or explicit themes.) SYOT closed!

The kids thought they were going in the 74th hunger games. But little did they know. Anything they ben taught from their mentors, anything they planned for the games, it was not going to matter anymore. When they were on their way to the game, something unexpected happened. The ship crashed and only a handful of people survived. They were now in a cold woods. They need to get out.

Infestissumam; Latin - the most hostile, the biggest threat. Kaisarion Van Doren has trained for years to attain honour volunteering for Games, the spitting image of a Carrer, but perhaps he will prove to be more brutal the most.

After the war, Katniss and Peeta move on. Just not in the way they expect. Post-Mockingjay.

One's fire has been reduced to ash by his time in the arena. One is caught in a web of impossible expectations. When pushed together by a force outside their control, there is only hatred between them… at first. (Post-victory fic.)

When Snow threatens Katniss and Peeta with the same fate as Finnick if they don’t convince the people of their love, the two are forced to speed up their relationship leading to an extended stay in the Capitol after the Victory Tour where they discover more evil secrets about the Capitol, meet other victors, and face some terrifying choices about love and freedom.

"it's unusual. unprecedented." but i s'pose that's what makes it so enticing. [OPEN SYOT, 0/24]

As the threat of a third rebellion looms nearer, the Capitol turns its eyes to the second ever mini quell, hoping that the game changing twist is enough to keep the country together. Will the chosen tributes manage to survive amid the chaos, or will they become pawns to one of the many factions? SYOT, pregames.

Mafias, Brothels, and...love? Oh my... The story of Katniss' life as an orphan in 1920 Chicago. Hardships, Tragities, and of course Romance with a certain blue eyed man. AU OOC M for language, adult situations, and lots of sexual reference..oh and maybe a lemon.

When Primrose's name was called and Katniss was denied as a volunteer, I knew what I had to do when my name was called. I don't know what I had done to deserve this. But I did know one thing. I would not let her die.
