Hidden beneath masks and glamours too intricate to unravel, the Sterling Nightingale's self bestowed mission is to smuggle prisoners out of the Capitol to District 13, much to President Snow's fury. He hunts the spy endlessly, only to be continuously outwitted. The reason? He is not looking in the right places. Silver Lamprey Cornelius is not your standard Victor, after all. Finnick has always seen Sil as a brainless fop with nothing but air floating around in her head. For a fellow Victor, she certainly doesn't act the part. He's never given her the time of day, until his fate gets entwined with hers and their President seems to think that it would be a good idea to change all of that. Almost overnight, Finnick and Sil go from being complete strangers to being wildly in love. Of course Finnick doesn't actually love her. He could never fall for an idiot like her... ...until he does, and suddenly he realizes that Silver Lamprey Cornelius is not the woman he always saw her as. She is so much more. Fate is a strange mistress, and it seems that he is about to be swept up in its storm. Finnick/OC pairing. Scarlet Pimpernel inspired.

Ptolemus Pierce was the youngest son of a family legacy, both his mother and father bringing pride to their District as Victors of the Hunger Games. It was only a matter of time before he would be expected to follow in their footsteps, and when the Sixty-Ninth Hunger Games came around, that would be his chance. However, the glory of being crowned Victor did not outweigh the gore and grief like his family promised. Now all he has left is his nightmarish memories and warlike rage. Sage Navarro hated gore. Living in District Ten where animals were raised to be slaughtered, one would think she had at least become indifferent. After winning the Seventy-Second Games, she had grown to despise it even more, wanting to hide away in the pastures of home with her horses. But before she could sneak away for good, she had caught the eye of not just the Capitol, but also a District Two Legacy. How the two fell in love is beyond most people. A Career bred to kill and a cunning girl from an outlying district should have never crossed paths. Their unlikely romance confused but captivated the Capitol citizens, rooting for Ptolemus and Sage's partnership to stand the test of time. It seemed like it might. Until the Third Quarter Quell. Now the two lovers are to be thrust back into the Arena, only one of them permitted to make it out alive. Ptolemus would do anything to protect her, and Sage would do the same. That's why she's so willing to take a gamble on another pair of star-crossed lovers from District Twelve. [CATCHING FIRE - MOCKINGJAY] OC x OC Rankings: #22 in #thehungergames 3/21/24

There are two kinds of people in the world, or at least in Pepper Buckley's small, one town, one district world. Those people are Leatherbacks and Horseshoes. She's a Leatherback. A street rat. A hood. A gangster. Did I say hood? She's been fighting since she was brought into the nasty world she lives in. When she's reaped for the 66th Annual Hunger Games and meets the stupidly praised Golden Boy from District Four, her life is turned into a hurricane of mess-ups. Poor Pepper Buckley.
