Six months ago, Fleur Harlow and Peeta Mellark did the impossible. They survived the 74th Hunger Games together, becoming the first two Victors in the history of Panem. Now they live in Victor's Village, their families finally safe from starvation and poverty. For the first time in years, the Harlows have money again. But victory comes with a price. As the Victory Tour approaches, Fleur realizes that winning the Games did not make her free. If anything, she finally understands Haymitch Abernathy more than she ever wanted to. Because Victors belong to the Capitol forever. Soon, Fleur and Peeta will mentor District 12's tributes for the first time during the 75th Hunger Games - a Quarter Quell. A Games designed to punish. A Games designed to remind Panem that nobody is beyond the Capitol's reach. But before the reaping can even begin, another twist is announced: The tributes for the Third Quarter Quell will be chosen from the existing pool of Victors. As the only living female Victor from District 12, Fleur's fate is sealed the moment the announcement is read. Now Fleur Harlow is being forced back into the arena. This time alongside either Peeta Mellark or Haymitch Abernathy. And unlike the last Games, every tribute entering the arena this year is already a Victor. Already a survivor. Already dangerous

Seventeen-year-old Rose Everdeen has spent her life protecting her younger sisters. Katniss is strong, capable. Prim is gentle, kind... and far too innocent for the world they live in. So when Prim's name is called at the 74th Hunger Games, Rose doesn't hesitate. She volunteers. Thrown into the Capitol alongside her district partner, sixteen-year-old Peeta Mellark-a boy she's always found... intriguing-Rose must prepare for a fight where survival means killing everyone else. Including him. But the arena isn't the only battlefield. With cameras watching her every move and the Capitol hungry for a story, Rose must decide who she can trust... and how far she's willing to go to make it home. Even if it means losing herself. Disclaimer: The plot closely follows the first book, with changes to explore how Rose's presence affects the story. I do not own The Hunger Games or its characters-they belong to Suzanne Collins. I only own Rose Everdeen. This is a fan work created for entertainment purposes only.

Natalie "Nat" Hayes enlisted in the military at 18, where she met Tim Bradford and became his second-in-command. After leaving the Army together in 2007, the two joined the LAPD. Their shared background helped them advance quickly, and during their rookie year they began dating-marrying just two years later. By 2009, Tim had earned his promotion to Training Officer while Natalie was tapped for Detective, fast-tracked into Narcotics, and partnered with her Academy friend, Isabel Blake. But by 2019, everything had changed. Isabel's struggle with addiction began in 2016, and Nat had gone deep undercover in a cartel ring-six months in when a new wave of rookies joined the LAPD. Tim's life continued at the station, while Nat's path pulled her further into the shadows. Disclaimer: I don't own The Rookie-just Natalie "Nat" Hayes and her story.

Detective Parker Smith has spent the last four years working deep undercover. When she finally returns to regular detective work at Mid-Wilshire - the same station where she began as a rookie - she finds herself reunited with Officer Tim Bradford. Years ago, the two went undercover together, posing as a couple. What started as an act turned into something real, and they dated for six weeks before Parker transferred to North Hollywood. Life took them down different paths - Tim married Isabel, a narcotics detective - but now, with Tim recently divorced and Parker back in L.A., old sparks begin to resurface. Note: This story begins during Season 2, Episode 4: "Warriors and Guardians." It's my first time starting a story at the beginning of a different season, so this will be an interesting new approach. Disclaimer: I do not own The Rookie or any of its characters. Only Parker Smith and any other original characters belong to me.

Sixteen-year-old Fleur Harlow has never fit neatly into District 12's merchant class. Her father, Derrick Harlow, owns the butcher shop in town, but that doesn't mean the Harlows live comfortably. Most of the meat sold behind the counter is far too valuable to keep for themselves, and unless Fleur brings something home from the woods, dinner is often as thin as anyone else's in District 12. So at twelve years old, Fleur learned to hunt. Now she slips through the trees beside Katniss Everdeen and Gale Hawthorne as naturally as breathing, bow in hand and boots coated in forest mud. In the woods, titles like merchant and Seam stop mattering. Out there, survival is the only thing that counts. Still, Fleur walks between two different worlds. Her mother, Charlotte Auburn Baird, was born among the Covey - a once-travelling group known for music, storytelling, and wandering from place to place before the Peacekeepers forced them to settle in District 12. Raised in the Seam, Charlotte carried those songs and stories with her even after marrying Derrick and moving to the merchant side of town. Fleur inherited pieces of both her parents: the merchant name, the Seam instincts, and the restless Covey spirit that never quite learned how to stay still. But none of that matters on Reaping Day. Not when her little sister Etta stands trembling with the twelve-year-olds for the very first time. Not when Fleur's own name sits in the reaping bowl twenty times after years of taking tesserae to help feed her family. And not when the Seventy-Fourth Hunger Games are about to begin.
