Title: Be Careful What You Wish For
Rating: R
Length: 1,589 words
Character: Finnick Odair
Warnings: Rape and character death
Author notes: Originally written for and posted to fan_flashworks. The challenge was to write something for the theme/prompt "anywhere but here." Thank you so much to deathmallow for the beta and to azelmaroark for helping me to narrow down the million and one times Finnick wished he was "anywhere but here" to just five.
Summary: Five times Finnick Odair wished he was someplace else...

While the other kids seem engrossed in the lesson, Finnick watches the clouds drift by, cottony white against the blue, blue sky beyond the window.

mockingjay: from earth to air, fire to water

A Hunger Games series mix, encompassing all three books (therefore potentially spoilery for those who have not read the entire trilogy).

Includes songs by Horse Feathers, Florence + the Machine, Nickel Creek, Bob Dylan, Radiohead, the Kills, Beach House, and more.

Title: Each Time You Try To Live
Warnings: Spoilers
This is a fanmix spanning all three books in the series, plus an interlude and epilogue.  Katniss-centric, but with songs for Rue, Prim, Finnick & Annie, and of course Peeta and Gale. 17 tracks.

RICOCHET
chapter 15: from the same mold

rating: most likely PG-13. nothing worse than what's in the books.
genre: adventure/suspense/drama/romance... again, pretty much what's in the books.
pairings: peeta/katniss, rory/prim... and probably others. you'll see soon.
canon/timeline: same-context AU-- this fic still happens in the same world as THG, but the actual events in the books never happened. i'm adding about five years to the characters from the age they were at the beginning of the hunger games. katniss is 21.
disclaimer: yeah, just let me go get my transfer laser and switch bodies with suzanne collins. until i find it in the mess that is my room, anything you can recognize belongs to her.

note: i've never really tried this before (and i'm sure it will eventually come back and bite me in the behind), but each chapter will be from the PoV of a different character. you should be able to tell whose PoV it is fairly easily, though.

summary: "primrose everdeen." this can't be happening, katniss thought. she desperately pushed through the crowd. i volunteer!, she wanted to scream. i volunteer as tribute! but she couldn't, because she wasn't eligible for the reaping anymore. there was nothing she could do.


CHAPTER 15 @ FF.NET_ HERE.

----------

Title: We Didn't Start the Fire
Rating: M (violence, language, child abuse, character deaths, disturbing themes, sexual content, implied forced prostitution in later chapters)
Characters/Pairings: mainly soulmates!Cato/Clove, brief non-con Cato/Finnick, Annie/Finnick, past Katniss/Peeta
Summary: Clove and Cato survive the Arena and become the first dual victors in the history of the Hunger Games. President Snow is keen on using them as anti-Mockingjays for the Capitol, but what happens when rebellion inevitably hits Panem anyway? This is the story of how two trained Careers go along with the Capitol’s plans… and how they don’t.
Notes: My computer is still broken. This is sad. But you have a new chapter, which (hopefully) isn't sad! Thanks to lorata and sabaceanbabe for their ever-present help with this fic.

Chapter One
Chapter Two
Chapter Three

Chapter Four: Prey

( The President’s eyes sharpen around the edges. 'What’s this? You kneel before a bunch of common Games attendants, and I get a salute?' )
