    Summary

    Maysilee wakes up to find herself in the Capitol, and she's not sure what exactly she did so wrong as to end up in hell. Hell––this has to be––because she's wearing a fashion crime also known as a hospital gown, and she most certainly died.

    But she's not dead anymore.

    The 50th Hunger Games' Victor, Haymitch Abernathy, killed himself immediately upon winning. Desperate to rectify this blip, and unable to put the 1000 bits of Haymitch back together, the Gamemakers moved down the list of fallen tributes trying to resuscitate them one by one. Silka's brains were mush under Haymitch's axe. Lou Lou's brain was intact, but completely severed from the rest of her body. The rest of the tribute's bodies had long started to rot. Maysilee, despite the President's qualms with her murdering one of the Gamemakers, could be patched up with twelve stitches, a couple pints of donated blood, and some simple card-stacking of the Games' footage.

    Enter: Maysilee Donner, Victor of the second Quarter Quell!

    Summary

    In the palm of her wrinkled hands sat the aforementioned tape. Visually uninteresting, reminiscent of the seventy or so other tapes that currently sit in an archival storage vault in the Capitol. But apparently it was more than what it seemed.
    "I want you to have this, Katniss."
    ---
    Tigris gifts Katniss the tape of the tenth Hunger Games.

    Summary

    The idle thought at the back of Glinda’s mind is that Nessarose never talked about her sister as beautiful.

    She shakes herself to stop those thoughts, knowing she can’t have them, and instead gives Elphaba a smile. “Congratulations,” she says sweetly. “Nessarose never told me how talented you were.”

    “Thank you,” Elphaba says, and takes a sip of her champagne. “So kind of you to come over when there are still reporters watching.”

    “I...I didn’t-”

    Summary

    It was strange - knowing someone else’s body better than your own. It was stranger still, watching that body grow old and change while yours stayed almost exactly the same.... Then there was this change. This one was unexpected and sudden and something she could have stopped.
