It's you or me, not both - Phan

What if that whole thing with Katniss and Peeta never happened? What if, instead, the Hunger Games followed two boys that we all know, love and adore?

Meet Dan and Phil, two ordinary kids in Panem with polar-opposite backgrounds; Dan belonging to District 12, used to the poor living conditions but with a loving family and skilled with a knife since he was about 10 for self defence as well as entertainment, Phil belonging to District 1, used to living in luxury but with a family that doesn't love him as much as he tells himself, no matter how many times he tells himself they love him, and never being any good with fighting in preparation for the slight chance that he went into the Games, leading to his teachers giving up all hope on him. When Dan is chosen as a tribute for the 74th Hunger Games and he first lays eyes on the raven haired boy from District 1, he knows the games will suddenly be a hell lot harder. Especially when Phil wants to team up in the arena.

Trigger warning: All the stuff you'd expect from The Hunger Games, abuse, mentions/suggestions of suicidal thoughts and self harm.
