Suddenly, everything that kept her going is torn away from her. There is no more war. No more children being killed. No more bombs going off. No more victors. No more Mockingjay. Or Katniss loses everything and tries to make it out alive.

A series of short drabbles for SunnyJustice's Careertober. Title from RWBY's Volume 2 intro song

Even after decades of the Hunger Games, a revolution can only stop the people for so long. After they get rid of everything in their way, the Hunger Games will find a way to continue, no matter the cost or damage. (Closed SYOT)

While Tackle Auger mentors his surrogate sister, he's distracted by the taunt of a dead man's final words. He's buried a secret for decades. Instead of finding closure from the death, he is only left with questions. Mali Cypress fears after the events of last year's Games, the Capitol won't be keen to let a career District become victorious. Has her life's work been for nothing?

You better leave or hang on to yourself. The Judge, who only seeks truth, pure and untouched by lies. The Jury, who's hung up on his own decisions- to stay or go? The Executioner, who's finally had enough- they're ready to burn the nation down just to feel the fire's warmth. (The 212th Hunger Games are out of their hands. The fate of the world is still up to them to decide.)

The story of Cashmere and Gloss. Because they were victims too. Rated for descriptions of injuries and mention of what happens to the "desirable" victors.

It's about to get SILLY in here! Full SYOT

Calidus: The 98th Games takes place in a relentless desert where heat distorts reality and survival is a battle against the land itself. Shifting sands conceal deadly traps, and water is a cruel illusion. The SYOT is open, info on profile. Who will endure, and who will be buried?

In the coal-black depths of District 12, Clementine's life was a stark, colourless existence—until the Capitol's dazzling Effie Trinket became her one bright spot. Now, hiding in District 13, torn between duty and forbidden love, Clementine must navigate a perilous bond in a world where love is as deadly as the flames of revolution.

How terrifying, survival can be. A fight for your life, only concluded by the end of twenty three others. It will be your survival, or it will be theirs. No matter who you are, that is all you want. To live. To win. And in doing so, perhaps you become much more horrifying than whatever lurks in the arena you crawled out from. SYOT CLOSED! Thank you for the submissions!

A quiet birthday night filled with smooches and smirks.

The 97th Hunger Games. Twenty-two years after the failure of the Second Rebellion, the Districts never fully recovered - yet the Hunger Games remain strong and constant, rearing its head once a year to claim two dozen more. (SYOT OPEN)

When Coin survives Katniss' assassination attempt and Snow escapes, Katniss must track down the former president and escort her prisoner across the wilds of Appalachia to assist the rebels. Surviving together in the wilderness, the two develop an unlikely bond. But when Katniss has to choose between the rebellion and Snow, where will her loyalties lie? (Snow/Katniss)

When Eliza is forced to leave the Seam to take refuge in District 13, things take an unexpected turn for the better.

Peeta Mellark is a well beloved nurse in District 12, caring for the critically sick and injured. When a familiar face becomes his patient, feelings from the past begin to flood, and the terror of life and death reveal itself. Post Mockingjay, AU. Please follow and review!

A different ending to the hunger games after the first book.

AU. Coriolanus Snow & Lucy Grey Baird escape from Panem & stumble upon one of Dr. Gaul's top secret projects: a device for inter dimensional travel. Coryo & Lucy Grey get caught in the experiment & are flung to a new world that is so much like ours.

"From District 10, your victor for the 54th Annual Hunger Games: Maesus Ovejas!" Twenty years before the flight of the Mockingjay, a sixteen year old beauty won the hearts of the Capitol and gave up every piece of herself to survive the life of a victor. Love, loss, longing, & the impossible search for peace; an ode to womanhood in Panem. ( *eventual* Haymitch Abernathy X fem!OC )

Even if you forget about the cameras, somebody's always watching. Who wouldn't want to tune into the Centurial Clash? [SYOT]

Millie Van Stahl had a good job, a secure family and a calm existence. Hardly the archetype for a tribute who, five weeks after the Reaping, would be seen prising a boy's fingers off the edge of a cliff, watching him fall. This is the story of the girl who caught lightning in a bottle. This is the story of the 67th Hunger Games.

Seneca Crane is a little smarter, and the girl-on-fire doesn't survive. However, the story is not over yet. Seneca wants an unforgettable tale of his creation and has one last chance to succeed. Welcome to the 75th Hunger Games!
