Summary
After the bombing of District Twelve, the Second Rebellion sputters to a slow stop. Years pass, and the Hunger Games remain.
The 100th Hunger Games is upon them - The Fourth Quarter Quell. This time, the Quell comes with a brutal twist: all participants must be the relatives of those who rebelled.
Harper Smith’s parents told her not to worry. The Smiths have been outstanding citizens for generations. They’re good friends with the peacekeepers. They took no part in the rebellion. They certainly aren’t related to anyone who did.
So then why did Harper receive a letter saying she was in the reaping pool for the Fourth Quarter Quell? That she’s related to Johanna Mason, a woman she’s never met?
Can she, a privileged merchant girl, even win this?
Story halfway written, will update on Saturdays

Summary
Thirteen years after the war ends, electricity returns to Sultana Belrose’s tenement. The workers arrive wearing dusty white coveralls. They bark in dialects too thick to understand and rip open the walls, revealing candy-pink insulation. Finally, in the common area of the complex, they install a strange black box with a bowed screen and extend two antennae.
The television flickers to life in a burst of static and sound. Verona, who does not remember a time before the war, gasps and bounds down the stairwell. Bubble-eyed and too-close, she takes in an incomprehensible commercial for laundry detergent.
What she does not understand immediately is the meaning of the gift. Capitol-funded electricity sweeps Panem. What had once been a privilege of the exceptionally rich becomes an expectation incumbent on all citizens. In their building, old Gustus the veteran will watch the Games play out, shoulder-to-shoulder with prissy little Verona, and she does not know which of them will take it harder.
***
Trying to protect her little sister, a teenage girl inadvertently creates a system where kids will volunteer for the privilege to fight and kill in the Hunger Games. -

Summary
Across a hundred years of Hunger Games, every district from One to Twelve had its own Victors.
One hundred Games, and District Six had five. One could sum them up as a Peacekeeper's son, a crazy genius, a painter, a selective mute, and an addict.
But, of course, there's more to it than that.

Summary
Annona Springwater was supposed to go home today. She was supposed to walk away from the Reaping and take comfort in knowing that today was the last day her name would have been entered into the glass bowl.
As soon as her name is chosen as a tribute for the 72nd Hunger Games, Annona doesn't know what to do. As the daughter of one of the most prominent farming families in District 9, she's just a field worker with a short fuse who thought she would age out of the reaping like everyone else. And when her district partner is a boy she's not sure is going to make it, she feels even more unprepared for the violence that awaits her in the arena.
In fact, the only thing she does know is that she has to win. Without killing.

The 72nd Victor (Original Version) by AnaSwift

Summary
Annona Springwater was so close to being able to walk away from the age group required by the Capitol to put their names into the reaping bowls of District 9. So close to being able to walk away from the Hunger Games and everything associated with them. Today was supposed to be the last time her name should have ever been entered into the glass bowl.
District 9 was nothing special and growing up as part of the most prominent wheat farmers of the grain district, Annona had her fair share of both labor and the fruits of it for as long as she can remember. Forced to do minimal schooling and tend to the fields during the harvesting seasons, her family became well-known for their work ethic and wealth as they became the main suppliers of wheat for the Capital and Peacekeepers.
As soon as her name is read aloud during the reaping for the 72nd Hunger Games and having to be reaped alongside a boy she's never talked to before, Annona decides that she will try to win the games without killing - even if the other tributes try to kill her first.

Summary
“I don’t just want perfection - I demand it.” He said calmly, leaning his weight onto his forearms resting on the ornate desk separating the two of you. “In the Capitol everything is of the highest quality, even down to the undergarments we receive from your District. You know this, yes?”
You nodded quickly, staring into his sharp blue eyes with a fear you hadn’t felt since your time in the arena.
“Then you must also know what happens when a product isn’t of the highest quality?”
“It’s thrown away, sir. Reworked until it’s perfect.”
“Very good. And what makes it perfect the second time around?”
There was a pause as confusion crossed your face. “President Snow, I-”
“It is free of loose threads. Every stitch is perfectly finished and neatly arranged. You, my dear, are a loose thread; one that I have no problem snipping to ensure the retained perfection of Panem.” He leaned back into his chair again, a relaxed sort of composure on his face. “Am I clear?”
“Yes, sir.”

Summary
18 year old Delphina "Del" Hollis is ripped from her loved ones when she's reaped as the female tribute from District 4 for the 53rd Hunger Games, along with her 12 year old district partner, Mako Caddel.

I'm new to AO3, and fanfic in general, so I'm sorry if I get any fic culture things wrong, tags, taboos, etc.
•
I'm releasing new content act by act, there are 3 acts.
•
This takes place during the 53rd Hunger Games, about 20 years before the first book. So the cannon characters (Mags, Ceaser, etc) are a lot younger. I also made a few choices that do not perfectly fit into cannon, but they're very small.
•
Read by my friend after I posted as I BEGGED him to stop over Discord, powerless.

Sorry it's taking so long! I'm in a play rn and I've been very busy, I've only got the last little bit of act 2 left! -

Happy Hunger Games. -

Summary
Ten years since District 10 had a victor. Ten slips of paper with her name. The Capitolites would probably call her being reaped fate or something else stupidly rosy. Nelly called it bullshit.

Across a hundred years of Hunger Games, every district from One to Twelve had its own Victors.
One hundred Games, and District Seven had six. One could sum them up as a joker, a lover, a shadow, a drunkard, a fighter, and a survivor.

Summary
When Sienah was younger, she never understood why some tributes left their platforms early. Surely, they must know by now that there are mines underneath. Now, as she looks at the haunting timer slowly changing its numbers, she understands it all too well, and it takes all her might to remain on the stand to stop herself from taking the shortcut home.
Summary: Sienah Willows only wants to back home to her family, but the moment she notices her fellow tribute, she realizes that she probably won't be able to. How could she ever kill such a child? A kid. Barely twelve years of age. And he's not the only child that's about to compete in a match of life and death.
She'll protect them. Sienah will gladly shield them from the death and gore at the cost of her own life. But mercy has its own cost as well, and Sienah is about to find out.

Summary
The 150th Hunger Games.
Juniper returns to the Capitol to mentor alongside her husband and fellow District 7 victor for what the Capitol anticipates to be the most financially successful Hunger Games in all history.

This is part of my alternate universe Hunger Games series. In general, there is no particular reading order. A recap of previous relevant events is given in Ch 2 of this work.

Summary
In all her time of being head gamemaker Aqua had never seen a bloodbath so calculated. So precise.
The Careers knew what they were doing. They knew what to do, who to kill, where to go.
They had secured the Cornucopia under their grasp in minutes. It contained the usual supplies. Aqua hadn’t focused her attention on the Cornucopia this year. There were plenty of other surprises to keep her tributes busy - the Capitol would be very pleased.The 68th Hunger Games, and the drama it caused.

Summary
"AS WATER FINDS ITS WAY BACK TO THE SEA... I WILL FIND A WAY BACK TO ME."
CORDELIA LOCH was written off as a "first day kill" the second her name was called at the reaping. Short and thin, with nimble fingers that were only good for tying knots. She had the lowest training score anyone had ever seen.
So how did she become the victor of the 68th annual Hunger Games?

Summary
Across a hundred years of Hunger Games, every district from One to Twelve had its own Victors.
One hundred Games, and District Five had, fittingly enough, only five. One could sum them up as an alcoholic, a climber, an introvert, an explorer, and a rebel who had once had a brother.
But, of course, there's more to it than that.
