Descendants - [The Hunger Games AU]

Peace. Prosperity. Love. Health.

After the Mockinjay Revolution, Panem had restarted itself, rising from the ashes to create a stronger nation and an even stronger bond with its districts. The spoils of war and the delicate wounds from the violence had civilization softened with contentment and happiness. But of course, humans are complicated creatures with short memories and history was dumped under the rubble like the ruins of District 12. Welcome to the 25th Hunger Games.

May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Main character, Mixalis Yu, struggles to feed his family in the slums of the Seam. He has known pain. He has known despair. He has known sacrifice. But most importantly, he has known chaos. That afternoon when his brother's name was called out to the cameras in front of the entire country, he felt his heart drop to his hollow stomach as if time itself has stopped to grieve the loss of such a happy soul. Unable to stop himself, he became one of the first volunteers the Districts has seen since the Revolution and stood in the same place where Katniss Everdeen stood decades before. In the crowd, he spotted her and in a blink, she was next to him. They were doomed to die together. A dandelion in the spring.

Perhaps in the next life.
