    Summary

    “My mum couldn’t take care of me, so she gave me to Canada.” Gem announced cheerily, swapping her red pencil for a yellow one, drawing what could only be a sun in the top corner of her page. “Then Canada found me a new mum.”

    Etho clicked his tongue. “Right.”

    “What about your mum?”

    “She uh, Couldn’t take care of me either. So I go to other people’s houses and they take care of me for her.”

     

    ;The story of siblings, who after all this time, are still chasing after each other.

    Summary

    They are children fighting a war. They shouldn’t have been — what an ugly cascade of death and coincidence it is, landing, at last, in the laps of four children, gathered around a little blue box, agreeing to so much more than they can possibly understand yet.

    Summary

    Tributes, victors, mentors, people who love them. Their lives, their deaths; who remembers, who doesn't.

    Character exploration, missing scenes and backstory for canon and original characters: how the District 2 Career Centre makes its tributes, how they win their Games and how their mentors put them back together. How some rebel, some don't and some never get the chance.

    We grew up in golden light
    Every chance to get it right
    What did we do with it?

    It’s gone, what I had back then is gone
    Can’t get it back again

    Sorry for the things we should have done
    Sorry for the kids we pushed too far
    Sorry now for all the lonely hearts who can’t move on because

    We waited

    For love, for dreams in the night
    For days to come when we’d be all right
    I can’t remember why I did the things I did
    I was just a kid

    All the lines we knew back then, they now are faded
    All the laws we once obeyed, they have betrayed us
    People that I used to hate, I hardly remember
    Forgive the children we once were
