Claire Wrotworth has grown up lucky. At least, that's what her dad always told her - a lucky girl with a lucky life in lucky District Seven.
Growing up in District Seven taught her to be tough, but nothing could prepare her for the brutal reality of the 74th Hunger Games. Determined to protect the person who matters most, Claire navigates deadly alliances and dangerous attention from Cato, the lethal tribute from District Two. As the Games unravel, Claire realizes that survival isn't just about strength - it's about sacrifice - and the Capitol's twisted rules are designed to break them all.
This is a Cato x OC fanfic, the romance is a sub-plot that grows (we all love a good slow burn), my main focus is on the brutality and inhumanity of the Games and our desired nature to survive.
This fanfic follows the Hunger Games trilogy made by Suzanne Collins. Although I took many creative liberties, the storyline and worldbuilding are almost entirely hers. I hope you enjoy!

Thirteen-year-old Desiree Draven never thought she'd be chosen for the Hunger Games. She was too young, too small, too unprepared. But when her name is called at the reaping for the 72nd Hunger Games, her world shatters. Leaving behind her grieving mother, her protective older brother, and the boy she loves, Desiree is thrust into a world of glittering deception and brutal survival. Under the guidance of her mentor, Finnick Odair, she must transform from a quiet fishergirl into a competitor worthy of the Capitol's attention, and the Gamemakers' mercy. But Desiree isn't alone. There's Koen Billingsley, her cold and formidable fellow tribute from District 4. With danger lurking behind every alliance and the odds stacked against her, Desiree will have to fight for more than just survival, she'll have to fight to prove she's not just another forgotten tribute. She promised Caspian she'd come home. But in a game where only one can survive, promises are impossible to keep....

She survived once. She never wanted to again. Nine years after Caelia Thorn won the Hunger Games, she's built a quiet life among the only people who understand her- fellow victors of District Seven. But when the Quarter Quell is announced and former champions are sent back into the arena, everything she's held onto begins to unravel. Faced with the terrifying prospect of losing her best friend, Caelia does the unthinkable: she volunteers to take her place. Now, with the Capitol watching closer than ever and old ghosts rising in the shadows, Caelia must step back into a world she barely escaped once- and this time, it's not just survival on the line. It's loyalty, love, and the truth about what the Games truly took from her. - ALL UNORIGINAL CHARACTERS BELONG TO SUZANNE COLLINS.
