    Summary

    Reaping Eve is a holiday in District 4, where no one enters the arena except by choice. The families of young children celebrate their safety; the Elites who will volunteer have been training for this moment all their lives. But on Reaping Eve of the 65th Hunger Games, there's an accident. On Reaping Day, there's a dare. Equal parts cocky and compassionate, fourteen-year-old Finnick volunteers against Mags' instructions. Somehow that's all it takes for the system to start breaking down, especially for the most prominent Elite family in Four: the Crestas. Watching from home as a newly minted celebrity demolishes the competition isn't what they'd planned on.

    Or: It's all well and good to live in a Career district and know someone will always volunteer. But someone has to be the person who's been told from birth that his highest calling is to be a human sacrifice.

    Shout out to CryptidGrimnoir137 as my sounding board, including prompting the original idea.

    Summary

    “You don't have to,” she said, “I’d forgive you.” She wasn't sure if they would kill her, if they'd keep her alive and just slaughter his family. She knew he'd blame himself, regardless of who died. So she had to let him know that she could never be angry with him.

    Finnick shook his head, “Don’t say that.” He turned around, and headed back upstairs to his room. Mags wondered for a moment if she could bribe him to eat with some coffee. They let him have it on his victory tour, and he had been begging for some ever since.
