She didn't have time to feel sorry.
She was already late.
The reaping bell was tolling. It echoed over the fields like the chime of a dinner triangle, only nobody was eating today.
Everybody was waiting to see who'd be fed to the wolves.

In District 10, blood comes easy-on the hands, in the soil, behind the eyes. Lassie was born to the slaughterhouse, sharp of tongue and sharper of blade, but when the Reaping comes, it ain't the cows who go under the knife.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
They were promised peace. After surviving the horrors of the 49th Hunger Games, Akira Yamazaki and Albedo Kriedeprinz returned to District 12 as shattered victors-haunted by the bodies they buried and the choices they can't undo. Their days in Victor's Village, shared with fellow survivors Xiao, Ganyu, and Aether, are quiet and cold, steeped in the kind of silence only trauma can create. But peace is a lie in Panem. As the 50th Hunger Games approaches, whispers of the Quarter Quell ripple through the districts like a cold wind. No one knows what the Capitol has planned-until President Silas Grinn steps onto the screen with a twisted smile and a card sealed in gold. "To remind the districts that even the strongest are never safe... the 50th Hunger Games will call forth not two, but four tributes from each district: two victors... and two children." Forty-eight tributes. Twice the blood. Twice the spectacle. For Akira and Albedo, the nightmare isn't over. It's just beginning. Forced to confront the Capitol once more, they must navigate deadly alliances, protect the innocent, and decide what they're willing to become in order to survive-again. But in a game designed to break even the strongest minds, victory may not mean survival this time. Because in the Capitol's eyes, nobody is ever truly free.Complete
⟡ The girl of glass ⟡
In the 68th Hunger Games, no one expected Sofia Wren Flores to survive-let alone win. She was hardly seventeen, soft-spoken, and far too gentle for the Capitol's arena, she volunteered for her older sister and vanished into a battlefield of mirrored trees and illusion, where the sky was always beneath your feet and nothing was ever what it seemed. They only clearly saw her twice. Once, holding the dying boy from her district, singing a song no Capitol camera could forget. And once at the end, alive. Victorious. No one knows how she survived-not even the Capitol. She was called the girl of glass-the glass victor. And no one ever caught her. Because Sofía Flores had already gotten away. And none of them knew how to catch their very own reflection.
The Great War.
I've never faltered in my convictions, but one fateful day, the ground shifted beneath me, and I came crashing down like a crumbling castle meeting its end. The promises that once guided me turned out to be mere illusions, designed to deceive and weaken me. Yet, I followed them blindly, as the rage inside me grew stronger and stronger, until I felt ready to stand there and watch them all burn. •Inspired by The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins •Content Warning: This work is rated Mature for depictions of violence. •Copyright Notice: Unauthorized reproduction or adaptation of this work is strictly prohibited. •Editing Status: This manuscript is currently undergoing revisions.

The 55th Hunger Games
As the 55th Hunger Games return for another year, Taslim Moor of District 7 anxiously awaits his fourth reaping. And when - to his horror - his name is drawn out of the reaping bowl, he must accept that he is going to certain death, because Taslim knows something about himself that no one else does. He will not be able to kill anyone. No one in the history of the Hunger Games has ever won without killing, so Taslim knows he will not come back alive, but he must at least try. He may not be strong, but he has other skills and a burning desire to stay alive for as long as he can. Not even the most blood thirsty gamemaker in the Capitol could predict what's in store for this year's tributes. The moment Taslim's name is pulled out of the reaping bowl his dark fate will be set in firm motion. In the games he will discover who he truly is and the illusion of normality previously cast around him will be shattered as he learns that things are not as they appear to be. Terrible discoveries await Taslim in the Hunger Games.Complete
