Summary
She’s so tiny. Her hair is cut close to her head, coiled tight and smattered, and when she smiles up at him lines crinkle outward from the corner of her eyes and disappear into the soft divots of her dark temples. When she leans in close, she smells like fresh pie.
“It says here you’re a ex-vet,” She’s got a bit of a snaggletooth. Unseemly for a Viltrumite, but she’s no Viltrumite. Conquest feels his tongue prod at where the gaps in his teeth used to be. Her excitement blossoms into a rich flower. “Don’t need’ta worry, honey. We don’t bite here.”

Mags-verse by thankyoufinnick (mildred_of_midgard)
Fandom Hunger Games Series - All Media Types, Hunger Games Trilogy - Suzanne Collins
05 Nov 2017
Summary
This is my canon-divergent District Four-centric universe.
It ignores everything about Mockingjay. Plot-wise, it takes the 75th Hunger Games as its point of departure, but since it ignores the backstory provided by Mockingjay, characterization also looks different.
Major departures include:
* Mags is a strategic mastermind who's been plotting a rebellion in District Four for decades.
* The forced prostitution is a lot more limited in scope.
* District Thirteen is much less organized, and there is no President Coin.Mags' Weapon is set when the rebellion is still being planned. Chapters 4 and 5 were rewritten on June 10, 2017. You'll want to reread them if you read this fic before then.
Mags' War is the sequel, an AU to Mockingjay.

Summary
The universe where Finnick moved to live in District Twelve, found love in a really unlikely place, challenged everything Haymitch thought he knew about himself, and caused a lot of things to turn out just a little differently.

Summary
“You could’ve scored the winner,” his dad says, and suddenly he’s right in front of Jamie and cuffing him around the head. Jamie doesn’t say anything, doesn’t do anything, is not even sure he’s breathing anymore, and he’s just thinking that this numbness is sort of nice, when the door opens and in walks Roy Kent.
“What the fuck is going on here?” Roy barks, and Jamie flinches again, but then he realises that Roy’s not looking at him. He’s looking at his dad, and he seems fucking pissed.
*
After Richmond gets relegated, it's Roy who spots Jamie's dad yelling at him. Unlike Ted, he doesn't walk past.

Summary
“Well alright,” Ted says from where he’s stood on the stage, emceeing this year’s gala. “Sold, to Roy Kent, for ten thousand dollars. Pounds. Y’all know what I mean.”
Next to Ted, Jamie’s face is doing something rubbery and cartoonish. Next to Roy, Keeley starts laughing.
There’s a beat, and then another, and Roy’s brain catches up to speed. “Fucking what?”
