    Summary

    She has been condemned to death by hanging. A man
    may escape this death by becoming the hangman, a
    woman by marrying the hangman. But at the present
    time there is no hangman; thus there is no escape.
    There is only a death, indefinitely postponed. This is
    not fantasy, it is history.

     
    AU inspired by the poem Marrying the Hangman by Margaret Atwood

    Summary

    An alternate universe wherein Katniss and Peeta were reaped together for the 75th Hunger Games. This Quarter's Quell twist - two victors can emerge so long as they come from the same district.

    Without as stark a rebellion, life goes on for the victors as tragically normal as usual - until a surprise reaping changes things.

    Summary

    Jess made for the door, then turned back at the last minute.

    “This is okay, right?” He was frowning. “You don’t want anything more?”

    Lindsay was still drinking her coffee. Her friends had posted photos of their night out, and she was having an animated online discussion about whether the bartender was hot. “No,” she said serenely. “I’m just using you for sex.”

    Jess looked at her for a moment, impassive. Then a corner of his mouth twitched into a smile. “See you next time,” he said, and left.

    --

    Six months after her divorce, Lindsay meets Jess again.

    Summary

    “I just wanted to share you with the people I thought were important to me, in the way that I should’ve when we were dating. I wanted people to know I was proud of you and I didn’t know how. I couldn’t bring myself to see you, I couldn’t introduce people to you or start a conversation between you so they realised your brilliance. So, I forced them to read you instead.”

    Summary

    My uncle is the only living Victor in the District; as such, he is one of the few who never goes hungry. But, as I think about the mandatory Game to watch, I'm not envious of him. The Hunger Games is always bloody and horrific.
    But even though Haymitch would have plenty to give, my father never asked him for anything. Which Gale knows very well.
    'His brother' I correct Gale darkly. Whatever the conflict between my father and my uncle, my Dad considers him a full-fledged brother, even though their father is not shared. Which, again, Gale knows very well.

    Or, its a different universe, and Katniss's dad is alive. It helps some things, and some things are...dark as ever.

    Summary

    Haymitch is automatically reaped for the Quarter Quell and Katniss must mentor him, but first they must think how the Capitol thinks, and act as they act.

    The bond between a new mentor and their first tribute is special in the Capitol and surrounding districts. Here at Mentor’s College they learn to think and act as a cohesive unit. To not listen to your mentor is to die. But this bond is born of isolation and desperation to win. For though they cannot die yet, they’ll wish they had.

    Summary

    “Are there any volunteers?” Pomponia asked, the boredom in her voice obvious. She knew, from her years of being the escort for District Six, that there wouldn’t be.

    She was wrong.

    Her mind made up, Iris stepped out of her section. The girls around her watched her warily, eying the cuffs. Iris took a deep breath, before thrusting her hands in the air, stretching them over her head. The cuffs protested the movement, but she ignored the pain, held herself tall and proud. “I volunteer as tribute.”

    She wasn’t going to let anyone but herself choose her fate.

    ****

    She was more than just a Morphling, once.

    Summary

    Katniss Indigo Abernathy, half Covey, half Victor, is reaped for the 70th Annual Hunger Games. Singer by hobby and hunter by necessity, she might have the right toolkit to make it out alive.

    …Unfortunately, surviving the arena turns out to be the easiest of all her problems.

    Snow has his eyes on her, and he isn't the only one. Whispers of a rebellious colony are spreading, her Covey relatives are harbouring mysteries reaching as far as the Capitol, which will take years to untangle, and everyone seems to know her secrets before she does.

    Everyone is at risk. Everyone tells lies. Amidst power struggles and the slow path to nationwide resistance, the people of the Districts rise up, and they've already picked an unwilling leader.

    -

    Summary

    Cato has never been able to grasp the concept of love. He’s heard the word and its definition, and he could use it in a sentence if you ask him, but he’s never understood or known what it truly means. Until now.

    Summary

    If Katniss is honest with herself, she has spent a lot of time in the last six months or so thinking about what it would be like to kiss Gale. She can’t remember exactly what moment changed everything for her. Katniss never wanted a boyfriend, and marriage was off the table for her—that was what she’d told herself for years. What she told her mother too, on occasion, when she asked.

    And perhaps she’s being selfish, but with their bleak reality in the district, was it really wrong to hold on to the small glimpses of light?

    Or, the one where Prim is never reaped, Katniss and Gale let love in, and the rebellion finds them anyway.

    Summary

    The Hunger Games was stopped after the Second Quarter Quell that had changed the face of Panem forever. Still, two children are being taken away every year to the Capitol, never to return again.

    With the death of her mother, Katniss was forced to moved in to her rich grandmother's house and learn the trade with her uncle, District 12's only surviving Victor.

    In a world so different but equally as cruel, Katniss and Peeta still found one another.
