!SPOILERS FOR SUNRISE ON THE REAPING!
UPDATE ON PROGRESS: don't worry, I haven't left this story unfinished! I'm currently at uni and have about ten assignments so I'll be back to finish this story in seven weeks-let's call it part 2 😊
The 51st Hunger Games fast approaches.
District 12 has changed since their lone surviving victor returned at the expense of 49 other children. People now realise surviving the games comes with a cost.
Hazel Wren struggles to stay afloat as her mother's sickness worsens. She can't imagine life without her, but has been forced to step into her role as a seamstress to help keep her family, including her three little siblings, afloat.
When the worst happens, Hazel is ripped from the arms of her family, without the promise of seeing them again. She's forced into an increasingly fake world alongside her fellow tribute Tommy Peetrie-the boy built like an ox-and the drunken yet charming Haymitch who sloppily mentors them towards their fates.
When the odds aren't suddenly stacked against them, is there room for Hazel to hope? More importantly, will she remain loyal to Tommy, or will their alliance fall?
And will Hazel pay the ultimate price?

Eighteen-year-old Nixie Marlow never wanted glory. Reaped from District Four and thrown into a brutal arena sculpted for collapse, she quickly learns the Games are less about strength and more about what you're willing to lose.

The Scent of Roses || Coriolanus Snow
You're in your senior year at the Academy when Doctor Gaul decides alongside her gamemakers that the mentorship program should be reinstated. You're tasked with making the Capitol fall in love with your tribute during the 15th Annual Hunger Games. After your tribute claims victory, as well as captures the hearts of the Capitol and your own, Professor Gaul calls you into her office. She's seen your promise as a student and invites you to take on an internship underneath her. The catch is you just work closely with Coriolanus Snow, one of her newest apprentice gamemakers. Something about him upon first glance forms a deep pit inside your stomach; there's something off about that man. While the intention to put you alongside him was to help advance your studies, it's clear he has something else in mind. He wasn't lying when he said, "I'll teach you everything." Set 5 years after the events in "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes." Story is for mature audiences only. *WARNING: SMUT* *WARNING: Coriolanus Snow is a manipulative man!* DISCLAIMER: I do not own these characters, outside of OC's, nor anything to do with the Hunger Games universe. I will try my best to follow the original plot but there's a lot of gaps that need to be filled.Complete
The Life of A Victor || Finnick Odair
❝Welcome to hell! Tell me, how does it feel to be Snow's new puppets?❞ ➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳ A Victor's child is probably the most prestigious title anyone could have in the Capitol's opinion. Maybe even for the Districts. But the reality wasn't as great as they made it look. Dove Ogilvy, the youngest out of the three adoptive children of Librae Ogilvy, came to realise this at a very young age. The Hunger Games, the tributes, the deaths, even the Victors were all part of a massive show for the Capitol. No one could escape it. And for Victor's children, the reaping was just a formality. None had achieved to escape fate. Everyone knew they would get reaped eventually. And in District Four's case, they were thrilled for that to happen to the Ogilvy family. Dove was determined to volunteer. Angelique Ogilvy, her older sister, had all the odds to be reaped for the 66th Hunger Games. But she wouldn't let that happen. Volunteering at the age of thirteen wouldn't be smart, but she couldn't let her sister die for someone's corrupted show. However, President Coriolanus Snow had other plans for her. She didn't know, but her games started way before the voice of Claudius Templesmith declared the countdown. Let hell begin, and may the odds be ever in your favour. ➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳➳ (Pre-Hunger Games-Mockingjay) I do not own the Hunger Games or any of the characters, except the Ogilvy kids and some side characters. DISCLAIMER ➳➳➳ This was my first fanfic, so the writing isn't exactly top-notch. A rewrite is already in motion and being slowly published separately from the original.Complete
