Being a Hunger Games fanfiction, this story doesn't shy away from describing the horrible, violent deaths of tributes.
- The First Quarter Quell had multiple insane and violent tributes dubbed the "psychopath alliance" who delighted torturing, eating, and raping other tributes (plus even more). The districts are pretty much relieved a Career won instead just because the psychopaths were that horrible, especially when he Mercy Kills the other tributes to save them from slow, painful deaths. The Victor himself is left a broken shell of himself from the insanity he endured, having completely lost the will to live after his sane allies all die and only plays to win just so the psychopaths lose.
- Teff gets trapped in a deep, dark cave where she can't see anything, and she's deaf. Without any indicator of time passing (she can't hear the cannons to keep count), she's left to Go Mad from the Isolation.
- Snag's Games features exclusively just hand grenades and when a tribute drops one by accident, the explosion cause a chain reaction that leaves 16 tributes charred beyond recognition and the survivors (save for Snag who left as soon as he could) severely injured with burns and lost limbs.
- Lammy's traps result in the Career alliance dying very painful deaths. The District Four girl gets skewered by stakes. The District One boy get his face glued to a tree by sap and nearly suffocates, then dies after getting his face ripped off trying to break free. The District Two girl is caught in a bear trap and dropped into water, then Impaled with Extreme Prejudice from a sharp rock. The District One girl is incinerated by gasoline in the Cornucopia. The District Four boy is caught in a trap and dies from a broken neck when it's cut. And the last tribute, the boy from Two dies from at least 20 spikes on his back.
- Just about everything with Mascara. First she is born from Brother–Sister Incest as a last-ditch attempt to get a noble heir. From the get-go she is clearly unhinged, but all medications and diagnoses are thrown away by her power-hungry family eager for a Victor. Growing up, she displays a disturbing fascination with blood, even bathing in it. And her parents' response? To reward her. In her Games, she easily takes on all the tributes and Careers as a One-Woman Army and leaves them in pieces. Even the Grim, a high-profile assassin, ends up dying in a Mutual Kill with her.
- Tabbock's sadistic magic show. First, he slits the District Four boy's throat with a playing card. Then, he cuts the District Seven girl in half. He sends the District Ten boy into the air with balloons and brings him crashing down. The District Eight boy is blown up from being force-fed Coke and Mentos. His final opponent is trapped in a box and then set on fire, getting a piano dropped on him, and shot with poisonous darts.
- Mercy's Games had reapings that were rigged to exclusively pick 12-year-olds, save for the Careers who volunteered. Many of them end up as easy picks to the Career Pack (working without Mercy since she won't kill 12-year-olds), but then there is the psychotic District 8 tribute Lillian Barrows, who uses her helpless appearance to lure other tributes either wanting to help her or take easy pickings in and trapping them to peel off their skins.
- Ajax, a Capitolian Loony Fan who kidnaps several Capitol children, Vercingetorix, and Pliny to make his own Hunger Games. Why? Because he was a huge fan of Pliny and thought that she never had the chance to show her actual killing skills. And when the two Victors refuse to comply, he shoots at them, killing Vergingetorix and Duke, who found them and died by Taking the Bullet for Pliny.
- Logger hacking 12-year-old Bloom Nakamura to pieces until she was unrecognizable just to save his own skin, even after she saved him from dehydration.
- Finnick's chapter features several different times he was bought as a Sex Slave, starting at 14. Other occasions include his 16th birthday, a time when he was bought with both Crimson and a newly-won Numi, and being a prize at a card game. You can feel the misery and hell from his body being completely violated. Some of the secrets he reveals are disturbing as well. His first buyer slept with those even younger than him, including her niece, the man at his 16th birthday engaged in bestiality with his pets from his pet store, and a high-rank peacekeeper used cameras to spy on people in private places.
- Lothar from Ron's Games. A Serial Killer who made mocking messages of his victims' blood, he revels in the Hunger Games and slowly tortures his victims, enjoying every moment. His narration includes complaining about losing kills and his victims dying too fast, contemplating which body parts to cut off, and being thrilled from the torture.
