Summary
Growing up in District 2 with the high-ranking Peacekeeper families, Alec joins the Career Program at age seven like his older brother Creed and their friend Selene. Creed and Alec want to make their parents proud: for Creed that means the Arena; for Alec it's becoming a Peacekeeper and never, ever questioning orders. Selene, meanwhile, wants to be the next Enobaria, which is cute at eight and a lot scarier at twelve.
Alec struggles to fit the Program mold while Creed and Selene flourish, but that just means he has to try harder. The Program's motto is 'Country before Self, Duty before Life', after all, and maybe if Alec works hard enough his father will smile at him the way he does at Creed. Meanwhile the Mockingjay is coming, and Panem is about to go to war ...

Summary
Reaping Eve is a holiday in District 4, where no one enters the arena except by choice. The families of young children celebrate their safety; the Elites who will volunteer have been training for this moment all their lives. But on Reaping Eve of the 65th Hunger Games, there's an accident. On Reaping Day, there's a dare. Equal parts cocky and compassionate, fourteen-year-old Finnick volunteers against Mags' instructions. Somehow that's all it takes for the system to start breaking down, especially for the most prominent Elite family in Four: the Crestas. Watching from home as a newly minted celebrity demolishes the competition isn't what they'd planned on.
Or: It's all well and good to live in a Career district and know someone will always volunteer. But someone has to be the person who's been told from birth that his highest calling is to be a human sacrifice.
Shout out to CryptidGrimnoir137 as my sounding board, including prompting the original idea.
Marked complete because the original ending is complete. Alternate ending is on hiatus/possibly abandoned.

A girl and her namesakes; the snake, the flower, the color. Remember, little girl - Red touch black, safe for Jack. Red touch yellow, kills a fellow.

Summary
“I was always the one to beat,” I tell him. “I’m sorry that you forgot.”
Eighteen-year-old Johanna Mason has what it takes to survive the Hunger Games, but she’s not going to let anyone know it. Least of all the audience, who she eyes with thinly veiled hatred. But to make it out of the arena in once piece, she’s going to have to put on the show of a lifetime.

Summary
After becoming District 12's escort at the age of twenty-two, Effie Trinket is forced to work alongside Haymitch Abernathy, the embittered sole survivor of the Second Quarter Quell. Both fractured by hidden traumas, their resentment of each other becomes complicated by their mutual longing for human connection.
Content: Most pivotal to this story is the theme of trauma. One significant plot point is Effie's backstory as a victim of childhood sexual abuse. This will never be shown graphically - however, allusions will be made to the nature of her abuse & how it continually affects her as an adult. There will be canon-typical violence, substance abuse, disordered eating, self harm, & dystopian atrocities. There will also be sexual content.
I also post about this fic on my Tumblr (incubationformadness).
