    Summary

    As Effie strides over to the other glass bowl, I ask myself, for the millionth time, which is closer to my own personal hell? Watching whatever monsters Snow has designed in for arena rip the girl to shreds in real time, or on a screen in the Capitol?

    “The male tribute from District 12 is…”

    Effie’s breath hitches, and truly it feels like this moment will never end.

    “Peeta Mellark.”

     

    AU that Peeta's name is called at the Quarter Quell. Absolutely steeped in SOTR angst because I cannot wait for November.

    Summary

    Surviving the arena is not the same as being free of it. The fire just makes you easier to see in the dark.

    The seventy-fifth Hunger Games requires victors, and the math for District Twelve is absolute. There's only one living female victor. She's going back into the one place she thought she had escaped, carrying the memories of everything she barely survived the first time.

    What wasn't written in Snow's card: who walks to the stage beside her. What the arena does to a person the second time around, when they already know what it is. What's left of you when you come out the other side, and whether the people waiting for you will recognize what's left.

    Some things survive fire. Some things come out changed. Some things don't come out at all.

    This story contains all three.
