SILENCE THE SONGBIRD. SECURE THE PEACE.
Two years after Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark defied the Capitol with a handful of berries, Panem is a darker, crueller place. The Mockingjay is broken, paraded on Capitol screens as the Caged Songbird-a silent warning to all who dare dream of rebellion.
Eighteen-year-old Mackenzie Kaiko has always known her place in District Four. She swims, teaches, and stays quiet, hoping never to catch the Capitol's eye. But when her name echoes through the square on reaping day-and no volunteers step forward-her fragile peace shatters instantly. Chosen for the 76th Hunger Games, Mackenzie is thrust into a twisted nightmare where surviving isn't victory; it's merely the beginning.
Now, trapped between ruthless Careers, fragile alliances, and tributes desperate for glory, Mackenzie faces an impossible choice: will she drown quietly beneath the Capitol's tide, or fight to breathe in a world desperate to silence her?
In this arena, survival means more than staying alive-it means refusing to let your voice die.
Because in Panem, songs aren't just silenced. They're erased.

.Forest Fire (Johanna Mason X F.OC).
Life for victors is still hard. Nobody wins the game; there are only survivors. Johanna knows that well since her win in the 68th game and her family suffering the consequence of her not bending the knee to the Capitol. She grew cold, distant, and snappy more than before, an angry woman, sending off two tributes to die each year, having stopped caring about anything since there was no one left to hurt to get to her. That was until the 71st group of tributes showed up, a boy and a girl born into the wrong district, to the wrong fate. And finally, there was a chance for District 7 to gain another winner in its small ranks. Finally, there was a chance for Johanna to open up to the world of feelings again.

I Was The First Mockingjay (Finnick Odair)
Before Katniss there was me. Before The Girl on Fire there was The Girl Alive. Before the District 12 volunteer there was a stupid little tribute from 10.Before the 74th Hunger Games there was the 69th. My Hunger Games.My name is Aria Moulson and I won the 69th Hunger Games 6 years ago. I was the first Mockingjay. Trust me I never wanted to be. I never wanted to start a rebellion I just wanted to get in and out. But, the people of Panem had a different idea. They saw me as the light in the darkness. They saw me as their way out of President Snow's wrath. They saw me as their Mockingjay. Why they saw me as the Mockingjay? It was because I was the first tribute to ever speak out about the Capitol's tyranny. A moment of weakness in the games and it cost me a lifetime of pain and suffering. But now I'm going back for the 3rd Quarter Quell and this time, I'm taking the Capitol down with me. I'll give them a show. I'll give the people something to fight for.Complete

FAILURE TO COMPLY β f. odair
The day snow fell upon Victor's Village, everything changed. There was no excitement, no joy, only the cold stare of scrutinising eyes into a child's wounded soul. She was not the girl on fire. She could not set a nation ablaze. Calypso Silva only wanted to survive. But she, with her Capitol blood tainted by the districts, was the legacy so many had fought for. She would be the legacy that so many would die for. She was the rebirth of love, the death of hate. The death of him. - finnick odair x oc following the events of the 72nd hunger games (origins), catching fire, mockingjay pt.1, mockingjay pt.2.Complete
