Go To

This is a fanfic that details all 75 of the Hunger Games and then more games after that. Remember how rough the ones you know about were? The rest ain’t any better.

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.


  • Cashmere's story as told in this series. She deals with an arena worse than most Victors, she has to put up with an Ax-Crazy "ally" in her pack, she has a breakdown when it's announced that she's the Victor, and is later forced to become a Sex Slave afterwards.
  • The Happy Ending Override of basically everything in the setting after the events of the main book series. At the end of Mockingjay, the rebellion has succeeded despite the many losses. And though a revenge Hunger Games reaping Capitol children proposed by Alma Coin gets the popular vote among the surviving Victors, Katnis prevents it by assassinating Coin. Panem elects the more reasonable Paylor from district 8 as President. And Katniss, Peeta, Haymitch all go home with the former two starting a family. And most importantly, the Hunger Games are over. All of this is undone. First, security footage of a vote for the Capitol Hunger Games is leaked 2 years after the rebellion, which prompts demand to go through with those games. Eventual riots pressures Paylor to approve and Enobaria and Johanna are all too happy to do the reaping, having learned the wrong lesson from the Games. When one tribute kills herself they just replace her with another. The two vengeful Victors bully the Capitol tributes all the way through training. They even enter the games themselves midway through dressed as Peacekeepers to murder a handful of tributes, including Snow’s 14 year old granddaughter. This prompts an already fully formed group of Capitol loyalists to dismantle the new government structure so the districts have no choice but to resubmit loyalty to the Capitol regime, now run by Gaul. This includes agreeing to the reinstatement of the Hunger Games with the Quarter Quell every 25 years replaced by a Quinquennial Quell every FIVE years. Paylor is executed for the Capitol Games. Haymitch is killed trying to escape and the surviving Victors are given a choice be the tribute for the Reclamation Games or move to the Capitol. And unbeknownst to the Victors beforehand, those who choose to move to the Capitol will be replace by not one, but THREE children as tribute. When Annie finds this out after choosing to not enter the Games, she breaks down in guilt. Lastly Katniss, Peet’s, Enobaria and Johanna are forced to enter the games for a THIRD time. This time with no hope of rescue. No hope that they’ll all make it out. Most if not all of them will die. And the odds are not in their favor. Everything, EVERYTHING, Katniss, Peeta and Haymitch fought for crumbles in just a few years.
    • The deaths of the Victor Pack during the 76th Games. Peeta falls first to mutts, leaving Katniss in a catatonic shock. Then Enobaria turns against the others and Johanna kills her. Next, Ennius hits Johanna with a knife, leaving Katniss as the last one standing. With no more arrows, Katniss rushes him and gets a knife in the heart. The Mockingjay is dead and the Mellark children become orphans.
  • Anna's death during District 10's 100th Games. She and her thirteen year-old sister Clara are the last two female tributes. Anna tearfully tells Clara goodbye and orders her sister out of sight before allowing Tobe to kill her, giving Clara the victory.
  • Ismene and Florian's respective deaths during the District Two preliminaries for the 100th Hunger Games. Both of them were reaped and formed the non-volunteer pair, with both of them dying at the hands of Careers.
  • The Grand Final of the 100th Hunger Games in general. Unless it was Tritica, imagine being attached to a tribute just to see them die in the arena.
