Awesome / We Must Be Killers

• It is repeatedly mentioned that Phillips from Distirct 6 was an unassuming tribute whose minuscule chances of victory looked even less likely after his Addled Addict mentor sent him a rolling pin and glitter as a sponsor gift. But glitter can temporarily blind someone when you throw it in their eyes, and a rolling pin can be just as deadly as a baseball bat if you use it the right way, and so District 6 got another victor, their first to ever stay clean of drugs.
• Multiple characters recall future District 3 Victor Eibhlin being terrified at her reaping but still having the boldness and composure to loudly and sternly lecture the escort for mispronouncing her name as she climbed onto the stage.
• Nero and the other mentors trying to charge the gamemakers (who, regrettably, have a force field protecting them) for answers after the 3rd Quarter Quell arena blows up.
• In A District Upside Down: The War (which is a Fix Fic story, but this scene takes place before the point of divergence for Lyme and Claudius's arc and it presumably still happened to them), a bullying District 13 cafeteria worker won't serve Claudius lunch unless he says "I am a murderer," first. He goes along with it for a few days, but one day, he says that statement with a Death Glare and follows up with a detailed description of some of the people he has killed, and tells the server to remember that, hate him or not, they should remember that "Good people don't win a war." The next day, the man serves him without a word of mockery.
• In a simultaneously awesome and heartwarming moment from the Fix Fic A District Upside Down: The War, dozens of victors, most of them ones who die in canon, march on the city square to make Snow and his men surrender with a show of force. Then, when Coin tries to drop her parachute bombs like in canon, Beetee has found out what she is doing, hacked into the bombs, and makes them explode while they are too far from the ground to hurt anyone and are close enough to the hovercraft to damage it and make it land, whereupon a crowd of rebels promptly seize the crew and all the evidence they need to convict Coin of attempted mass murder.
• In "Down for the Count", Cecelia gets poison as her gift for a Cornucopia feast and sprinkles a little bit into the food in everyone else's backpacks before leaving her backpack behind as she runs away, so that whoever arrives next won't wonder why she didn't take their backpacks and suspect a trap.
