Wyatt Callow wasn't meant to survive the 50th Hunger Games. When he's rescued at the Cornucopia and taken to District 13, everyone starts to expect him to be something he's not: A leader. As he watches the rest of the Quarter Quell behind a screen, now riddled by loss and grief, he realizes that he must take action to stop the Games for good. That's when he develops his conniving, calculated drag persona: President Alma Coin. Now, instead of predicting who lives and who dies, he gets to decide it. | Word Count: 23,274 | #1 in wyattcallow {07/19/2025} #2 in maysileedonner {07/19/2025}

It was like fate was tempting her, because the next afternoon, Maysilee spots Wyatt Callow outside of the café for the first time. All the while, Haymitch's words can't stop ringing through her head: You miss one-hundred percent of the shots you don't take. Fortunately, he's sitting alone in the library, his face in a book as he furiously scribbles notes. Maysilee can't make out the subject, prays to god that he's not a smelly Computer Science major, and realizes that she still can't figure out a good way to approach him. Like, 'Hello, we've never really spoken outside of your workplace, but I think you're really pretty, and you should model for me.' Who says that? [or, maysilee is a frustrated fashion major in need of a model, wyatt is a barista, and haymitch quotes wayne gretsky] | Word Count: 9,584 |
