    Summary

    "You know what they called me in the 72nd Hunger Games?"

    "The Oncoming Storm."

    "No. That's what they call me now. They didn't call me anything, because they never thought I would win."

     

    The Hunger Games are an honour. A reminder to the Districts that rebellion will only lead to devastation. Entertainment for Capitol socialites, to bet and wager upon their favourite tributes. Each year, every year, 24 children will be required to participate. 23 will die. Only 1 will survive, to live forevermore in riches, fame and safety. The Ultimate Victory.

    Lilith Silverwood never had a chance.

    Summary

    'Of course, some would say it's because he's a Victor, but that's not true. People in District 12 think that Haymitch Abernathy - our other living Victor - drinks too much, but they don't despise him like they do Gale.
    It is because Gale Hawthorne - my best friend, my hunting partner, the boy who strains to keep me alive - killed his district partner in the Game.'

    Or - Gale goes to the Arena, and Katniss and Peeta never does, but they end up together, anyway. Some things are different, yes, and some things maybe darker for it - but the important things, like Katniss and Peeta and Haymitch... they are the same.

    Summary

    I wasn’t supposed to survive. Not the Games, not District 12, not the Capitol’s gaze. But I did. I clawed my way out of the arena with blood on my hands and too many ghosts in my head. I came home changed—harder, quieter, angrier. They called me a victor like it meant something golden, but all it really meant was I got to keep breathing while better people didn’t.

    And then there was Haymitch. Sharp-tongued, half-drunk, and somehow the only person who ever really saw me. We didn’t fall in love the way normal people do. We fought it. We bled for it. But in the silence between disasters, we found something real. Something worth staying alive for. The Capitol can take everything else—it already has. But it doesn’t get this. It doesn’t get him. It doesn’t get me. I’ve survived the worst of them, and I’ll survive what’s next. Because I’ve learned one thing: love is not weakness. It’s warpaint. And I wear it proudly.

    Summary

    A modern high school hunger games AU with Haymitch being a history teacher and Effie being a drama teacher.

    You should probably read the one before this in the series but you don't have to I guess.

     

    Oh, and Haymitch adopted Katniss in Prim in this Au. After Asterid gave up parental rights. (I'll do a one shot on this soon enough)

    Summary

    When Effie opened her mouth, what she ended up asking was one of those types of questions Haymitch couldn't ever prepare yourself for.
    Not in a million years' time.
    Maybe not ever.
    And it was probably the one question he thought would never come from Effie trinket.
    “Where are my children?”

    Effie Trinket has children.

    Effie Is a mother.

    And he never knew, she never told him.

    She knows everything about his family, not that there is much to know about - not after he won the games he was supposed to die in, and by defying Snow's request - brought death upon them.
    He didn’t even know she had a partner, let alone a family of her own.

    I’m her family, and she is mine.

    The urgency of that thought alarmed him so much that he could feel his hands shaking more than they should have now that he was sober. He couldn’t think like that – everything he touched turn into ashes – except Effie.

    And you had to risk it, didn’t you?

    Summary

    She was known by many in various ways: the secret project of District 13, Everdeen's adopted sister, the girl who performed with the covey, the victor's wife, the bloodletting of District 12, Snow's prostitute, a rebel, and the future leader of Panem.
    But before all that, she was a hungry girl who robbed the house of the richest man in District 12 and took with her a box containing letters all addressed to Lenore Dove.

    "I love you like all-fire."

    And little by little she falls in love with a man who never spoke and decides to get closer to him, but he was now a bitter and broken man, not the young man who seemed to love the girl from the letters.

    Summary

    Haymitch groans at the knock at his door. He takes another couple swigs of bourbon, hoping the sound will stop, but of course it doesn’t. Oh well. At least the liquor will numb the reality of lying to yet another scared kid the night before he sends them to die.

    He readies a scowl as he pulls open the door, but he falters when he sees who’s on the other side. It’s a kid. It’s not the right kid.

    Finnick Odair is trembling in his doorway.

    Summary

    “The Victory Tour will be a bit different this year. You will go about it as usual with one difference. When you get to the Capital you will be staying there as honored guests of mine.”

    Katniss’ mouth dropped open. “What? No. For how long?”

    He enjoyed her distress. “For as long as necessary.” He stood up and before leaving, pushed a button on the projector on the desk. Katniss sucked in a breath and made a noise of distress. Footage of her and Gale kissing just an hour before played in front of her. Snow walked around the desk, pausing in back of her. His hand slid heavy over her shoulder, squeezing just a little. “For your loved one’s sakes, I hope you understand what is expected of you, Miss Everdeen.”

    Tears blinded her. She didn’t even think about shrugging his hand off. “What? What is expected of me?”

    He stooped just a little. “Why, to do whatever I want you to do, of course. You’re mine. You belong to me now. Your life… your body… your soul… and the lives of everyone you love… all belong to me now. Do you understand?”

    Summary

    "You got what you wanted, you know."

    "I got what I expected," he corrects, and wonders if that makes it worse.

    There is a story that says a flock of geese once saved a city. Haymitch remembers it the second it becomes clear he'll have to return to the wreckage of his home.

    Summary

    There's no victor glory. The Games are war, they're never fair, and there's no amount of money or fame that can make up for it.

    But maybe there's solace on finding an equally broken soul.

    Summary

    Living life as a Victor is… well, it's just sort of strange.

    This morning, Maysilee had woken up screaming. She'd jerked up from her pillows like a rope had gone taut, and she'd let out a cry so loud and pained that it had apparently made Haymitch drop and shatter a glass bowl downstairs in the kitchen. By the time Lenore Dove had run up the stairs and into Maysilee's bedroom, Maysilee was curled up against the headboard, one hand covering her throat, the other swiping furiously at candy-pink birds that only she could see as she gasped for breath that never came.

    Much of life as a Victor was miserable. Nightmares and grief and a rising sense of panic, always rising, never providing any kind of real relief.

    And then other times, it was stupid stuff like this. It was sitting across a coffee table from Haymitch, arguing over a stupid game of Jenga.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or: An AU where Maysilee, Haymitch, and Lenore Dove all live, and they end up moving in together.
