Rather than let his son see him die brutally or become a killer, he approaches Brutus and Enobaria and respectfully asks them to kill him in a quick and dignified way at the start of the games, then calmly waits and lets them do so.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Emboldened by his victory, Brandon requests to President Thorn to give the agricultural workers in 9 more food and oil, so that they in turn can feed the nation. What they end up being given is the thankless, back-breaking labor of providing tesserae grain, while forcing children to increase their risks of going into the Games in exchange for food. It is noted that Thorn does this deliberately as a way of sadistically showing off his authority.

'''''Champion''''' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/4769394/Kiliflower Kiliflower]] is a re-imagining of ''Fanfic/TheVictorsProject'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/3394312/Oisin55 Oisin55]], featuring the former's own head-canon about Panem and its power plays, as well as the trials, tribulations and triumphs of the victors inside and outside of the arena. The story thus far gives a deeper, more emotional, philosophical angle to the life of each victor. It was originally published unfinished, subsequently deleted and republished with a largely new cast of victors. The link to the current incarnation of the fic can be found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13534643/1/Champion here]].
