"As I sat on the toilet, I realized how badass I was being. First of all, I (kind of) broke into Walmart; Second, I was (kind of) plotting to steal toilet paper; and third, I was doing all this while a hurricane was brewing outside." Ellie wanted a quick trip to Walmart to buy some toilet paper for her mom. A minute in, a minute out. Instead, she got locked in. With her secret love, of course.

74 years. 74 years this has continued, 74 years children have been sent to the slaughter. But it all ends here. The tributes for the 74th Games have been selected. The Star-Crossed lovers, the evasive red-haired scavenger, the sweet and innocent, and the vicious and bloodthirsty Careers. But something is amiss this year, and the tributes are about to be swept into a war much bigger than themselves. Not everything is as it seems, or as you may remember it. Now it's up to all the tributes to stop the Capitol, or die trying. Told from the perspective of Clove, Eleanor (District 4's tribute), Athena (Foxface), and Katniss. (Alternate Ending, Under Construction.)

THIS STORY HAS BEEN REWRITTEN. Please read the new version, which has been posted on my page under the same title. "Why don't you fly anymore, Max?" "Because when I fly, I remember." After witnessing the destruction of her entire flock at the hands of the School, a bruised and battered Maximum Ride is dumped unceremoniously onto SHIELD's front doorstep and into the lap of Director Nick Fury. Fury wants to use her, to make her part of the Avengers, but Max just doesn't have the will to move on. She won't fly, she won't fight, hell, it took them eight hours before she would even eat. But a new wave of super villain is rising in the New York underground, and the team might not have much time left before it devours them all. [WitherVerse]
