Effie Trinket has been training for the moment when she is to go to Panem, what was once North America, and gather more information about The Hunger Games to report back to her superiors. What she finds instead might not just help to gain intelligence on the Games, but put an end to them altogether.

Another year, another Games. Another group of tributes will lose their lives to the Capitol. But one, one will be welcomed back with open arms. [SYOT CLOSED]

There's but one problem with that mask. For it to work, the victor must have two essential things; haunting vivid memories and loved ones they would trade their lives to protect. One without the other is to no use. So when Olive Navin Cresta survives the 69th Hunger Games with no recollection of her time in the Arena, the mask gets destroyed before it's even placed.

A rebellion was sparked during the 95th Hunger Games. Panem almost fell. But the Capitol squashed the rebellion, extinguishing any hope at a new future. Now, President Pitheart is in charge, and he refuses to allow Panem to break. With all his victors on a tight leash, he's about to welcome 24 new tributes to the 110th Hunger Games. It'll certainly be a year to remember.(Open SYOT)

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'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.

And the SYOTs keep coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming. More or less full

"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!)

After years of boring twists, the Capitol has had enough of the Gamemakers' attempts to entertain them. They want blood, and that's what they get when the newest twist is announced: for the 117th Games, tributes will be Reaped as pairs of siblings. Luna Brimstone hasn't spoken to her brother in two years, and she longs to see him; at last, it seems her wish could finally come true.

"As a reminder to the rebels that even the strongest among them cannot overcome the power of the Capitol, the male and female tributes will be reaped from their existing pool of victors." Catching Fire from the perspective of the victors across the districts and a reflection on their centrality to the rebellion. There's more to the Hunger Games than Katniss Everdeen.

It is time for the the One-Thousandth Hunger Games, the Fortieth Quarter Quell. One thousand one hundred and fifty two tributes go into the arena, and only one will survive. Slight alternate universe to The Victors' Tales. I DO NOT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES. IT IS SUZANNE COLLINS CREATION.

A talking, happy-go-lucky giraffe swaps places with Effie just before the 74th Hunger Games, Freaky-Friday style. Oblivious to Panem's way of life, she unknowingly interferes with the Games' events, then busts 4 tributes out of the arena. With the authorities looking for them, the giraffe must now get the tributes to safety—but first she'll have to help them trust each other.

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

In the arena, death is a dear friend. This is a lesson this year's 24 tributes will learn before their time is up. Will they emerge victorious? Or will they fall into her arms? [SYOT Open]

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.

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.)

The boy from the Seam is lucky. He doesn't know the true horrors of the world. Seam!Peeta Merchant!Katniss

Another Hunger Game is upon us, but this one is not like the rest. With a surgeon, an alcoholic, and a set of conjoined twins among our cast of tributes, these Games will be like none you've seen before.

It's cold in the Arena. Twenty-four go in. A sister, a brother. A star, a mistake. A mute, a singer. A psychopath, a wisher. An angel, a mother, a liar. All marked for death even if they survive, like many before, and many after. There's so many stories, so let's start with just a few. Let the Games begin.

"Omnis cum in tenebris praesertim vita laboret." / "Life is one long struggle in the dark." (Part I of the Post Tenebras Lux verse). SYOT.

"Fetch your battalions, open your war chests. Run the railroads, make your address. Protest for the fallen, make them confess. Caress her broken head in your arms; kill at their behest. Let the streets run red. It is not your deathbed yet. Let's not die now, for there is no rest for the dead." (Or, the makings of a revolution, from the perspectives of 13 individuals.)

{SYOT OPEN} The 25th Hunger Games was the first Quarter Quell, and the change to the games was that the tributes were voted in by their districts. Your tribute was voted in. Can they win?

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.

The 114th Hunger Games are fast approaching. Even in death, no one can escape the games, especially not the tributes that are about to enter the arena. The Victors know that better than anyone, but the game they play is almost as dangerous. The sun is rising. Who will be left once the day dawns? (SYOT open)

Twelve years and Victors ago, there was failure. Hearts have been poisoned by Fate's trickery. Now, a new demon controls the narrative, and tributes old and new will learn true suffering at the hands of the merciless. When the past has been altered, who fights for our future? The world will turn upside down, my dears. We can make a monster out of you all. [SYOT Closed!]
