In the second of twelve districts, a girl exists.
She doesn't live, not anymore.
She just exists.
The girl's name is Aurora, and her father has been diagnosed with cancer for... maybe half a year now. She's not sure how long, exactly. She used to be known for her sharp memory, but now the days just blur into each other.
All she knows is that it's a losing battle.
And she must say goodbye.
Consumed by the solitary war that she has waged against depression since her father's diagnosis, Aurora yearns for an escape. For something to finally bring her slow spiral into the abyss to an end. What better way is there to make an exit that won't raise questions than to volunteer for the 60th annual Hunger Games?
Aurora plans to go down in the history books as one of the nameless tributes who dies in the bloodbath. Ironic, really, given that she's classic Career material. But then the currents shift, and suddenly, the only one standing between Aurora and her long-awaited end is Severus.

Hated and Unwanted (Sirus Black x OC) 2
Dakota never asked to be hated. She only wanted to be wanted. But, the moment she met the Marauders, she knew it will never be possible. Whether it's comenting on her weird hair, or picking on every single imperfection, the Marauders always found a way to make her cut herself that night. She doens't even know what she did to them. But, when the secrets of her list of disorders reaches the ears of the Marauders, they try to help her, along with her only friends, Lily Evans and Severous Snape, but she stays a broken, empty shell. The only thing that seems to be true at the moment, is that when someone is too far beyond repair, is when that person is truly lost. And it couldn't have been more truer. *Disclaimer* I do not own a lot of these characters, I only own Dakota, and plot, along with character's actions Warning!! There are triggers in this story!

The 136th Hunger Games
When Kira Blackwood's name is reaped, she knows she's screwed. How is she supposed to survive in a fight to death with twenty-three other tributes, all of whom want to get out alive as much as she does? Not to mention, the thought of killing somebody twists her stomach into all sorts of unnatural shapes. Despite secretly training for the Games in the cow pastures surrounding her home, and being pretty handy with a knife, Kira's kind heart may be the thing that holds her back the most. However, as she navigates through the opulent world of the Capitol, and then the arena itself, Kira starts to realize that maybe, just maybe, it's not the dead she should pity, but the Victor. After all, no one ever really wins the Hunger Games. Survives, sure. But wins? Never. ~~+~~ Please Note: This is set in a world where the 2nd Rebellion failed. All usurpers were executed (except those pesky star-crossed lovers, who knows where they ran off to), District 13 was destroyed for good (but District 12 was rebuilt, on the basis that the Capitol realized that it actually really needed coal), and the Hunger Games were reinstated. Disclaimer: I don't own any of the rights to the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, or to the Lionsgate adaptation of her books. (Obviously.) All characters of my creation are copyrighted. ~~+~~ Thank you so much for reading this, it really means so much to me!!! :) I hope you enjoy, and love it as much as I do! (Also sorry for the length, I sort have this thing for details... and long, run-on sentences... and long, run-on sentences stuffed with details...) Please note: This story is technically incomplete, bc I still want to write a few more scenes after the Games like the interviews and stuff, maybe of the Victory Tour, but I've marked it as complete bc...junior year of high school. Ain't no way that I'm finishing this anytime soon. Hopefully over Christmas break I'll get back around to it.Complete
Can't Catch Me Now (Finnick Odair X OC)
"Aurora or "Rory" Baird. Theres something about her Snow doesn't like. Ever since her name was picked he's been off about her it's strange." Haymitch says looking at Aurora on the screen "She won two years after her sweetheart won. She played a good game. Made the other tributes think she was weak, feeble, unable to play. She made herself look like an easy target. She made the Capitol think she was this sweet little songbird that would die within the first minute. Someone for them to put pity on." "But she obviously won." Peeta states "She won because of how brutal she really was. These are career kids. She was trained for this. She won by luring the other tributes to her and slicing them with just a hand knife. Slit throat, stomach to neck you name it. She's vicious, violent. And her aim is lethal." *.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.* On Reaping Day for the 67th Hunger Games, A Second Songbird Was Chosen. You'll See Her Face In Every Place But You Can't Catch Her Now.

Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince (Cato Hadley x OC)
{BEING SLIGHTLY REWRITTEN AND EDITED} I was going to die. I didn't want to, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I would. I feel myself reaching for Cato's hand and grab onto it, holding it tightly. He looks over at me. "Cato," I whisper, "I'm scared." He squeezes my hand. "Don't be. I'll be with you the whole time." When orphan Arya Ashsong from district six is reaped into the 74th annual Hunger Games, she believes she's as good as dead. What she doesn't believe are the feelings she feels for the tribute boy from district two, Cato, and that he feels the same way. Arya must figure out how to survive the deadly Hunger Games and find out if the world she once knew will ever be the same again. A whirlwind of action, tragedy, and romance, ladies, and gentlemen, I present you the 74th annual Hunger Games! May the odds be ever in your favor.... _____________________________________________________________________ this is something I started a while ago so I am sorry for the cringe if there is any. this story kinda follows both the books and movies. I also used Taylor Swift's song Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince as a guide to this book. So basically all the chapters with be lyrics from the song. I do not own the Hunger Games or any of the characters except for Arya. I also do not own anything from Taylor's song. Please enjoy!
