There a lot of beginnings in life. The beginning of your life, your first step, your first word. For 23 children every year, the games are the beginning of the end. For one, it's the beginning of a new life. For the 96th hunger games, it's the beginning of something new - SYOT Closed, but readers are welcome.

Lucy Gray is a complex character. One of my favorites, ever, to be quite honest. This is my take on her story, and it is the Ballad from her perspective (from my perspective). PLEASE LEAVE CRITICISMS AND LIKES I PROMISE I WILL NOT BE UPSET. I highly value any comments and urge you to please leave them. Enjoy!

Rose Mellark has always been special, not only because of her parents' past, but because of her determination to be her own person. But, one night changes her life forever... (SYOT OPEN!) Please read instructions inside for submitting.

Formerly the home of career tributes, District 4 in now under tight security and now, any unauthorized weapon handing is illegal.

Madge Undersee survives the bombing of District 12. She's not sure that she should have. Or: a portrait in survivor's guilt. Written for Everywoman 2020.

What if Peeta had not joined Katniss in the second arena? What if Haymitch went in with her, died for his troubles, and our heroine, despite all odds being distinctly not in her favor, came out of the arena one more time? Well, I'll tell you. Everything has changed. And Snow has no idea what kind of fire he's playing with. CW: MENTIONS SEXUAL ABUSE LIKE FINNICK'S IN MOCKINGJAY

"Let's all congratulate Primrose Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, our female and male tributes for the 74th Hunger Games!" I feel my throat dry, still unbelieving of the situation, my eyes dart to the side towards where my mentors are, and lock eyes with Katniss' shocked watery stare as she realizes not even volunteering last year has saved her sister.

Following their victory in the 74th Annual Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark return home. Now the 'star-crossed lovers of District 12', they find their lives interwoven as they never were before. The games have changed everyone and everything, and so now is a time for reintroduction. Alternate storyline starting at the end of book 1.

"Ladies and gentlemen, winner of the 72nd Hunger Games : Ina Lancaster!" I manage to contort my lips into a weak smile. It had only been a few days and I was already being paraded for the many screens of Panem. I didn't imagine how weary I would be when I stepped into the games expecting my training to be enough, but at least I had found support in these misfits. (Finnick x OC)

18 year old Rue works at a bakery with her mother. She crushes hard on farmgirl Katniss Everdeen. With a little bit of magic her dreams could finally come true. Modern AU. Some smut and language. Story request. Might not be doing too many of those right now. This story will be limited to a few chapters.

Hello! This is the preview to katniss sick day! Im writing the full story right now so this is just to see if anyone is interested well hope everyone is having a nice day!

Effie can read you like a book. What does Coin say?

Safe. Calm. Those are the two words that I am repeating over and over, forcing them to flow in gentle, soothing circles within my mind. Those two words are somehow able to keep me sane and grounded on a day such as reaping day. A Cato Hadley / Original character story. The Hunger Games

Anwyn Cresta became the Mermaid of Panem when she won the 70th Hunger Games, but before that she was a simple happy girl from District 4 that was chosen to play in their games and fight for her life. Her beauty captivated Panem, her love belonged to her mentor, her triumph would mean losing everything. Before the Girl on Fire there was the Mermaid of Panem.

my own personal sequel to The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Maude Ivory is all grown up and teaching music at District 12's school when Tam Amber warns her about the 25th annual Hunger Games, which could endanger everyone including Vox Valentine, a student she deeply cares about, and the life she is carrying in her womb – Katniss Everdeen's father.

"It's a damn shame. They could've done so much, they could've been so much. But instead of growing and living and learning, they were sacrificed to feed the beast." Closed SYOT. Status: Day 8.

My take on the post - MJ, pre epilogue of the Hunger Games series. A story about rebuilding. A district, a bakery, a man and a woman.

When Annie Cresta moves from her all-girls private school to Panem Public High School her senior year, she doesn't know what to expect. She certainly doesn't expect to be paired with the school player, make friends with the well-know outcast, or get involved in all sorts of girl drama. Parties ensue, fires light, and these confused teenagers try to navigate their messy love lives.

Everyone knows the story of Cato and Clove, the ruthless careers of District 2. But what about Clove's sister, the one Cato loved most? What about the victor of the 72nd Hunger Games? What about Calida Harting?
