"On the 25th anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that their children were dying because of their choice to initiate violence, every district was made to hold an election and vote on the tributes that who would represent it."
Twenty-five years have passed since the rebellion, yet the price is still being paid by the Districts. Even though most people alive today had no part in the fight, they suffer the consequences of the Capitol's anger. The harsh reality of the Capitol's cruelty is revealed every year on July 4th, Reaping Day. On this day, two children from each of the 12 districts are randomly chosen to fight to the death in an arena until only a lone victor remains. Parents hold their children close and hope it isn't their child who will be ripped away from them, knowing that there is nothing they can do to stop it.
However, this year is different. This year marks the very first Quarter Quell, and parents don't have to worry about whether their children might be taken away because, for this once-in-a-lifetime event, they get to choose who goes into the arena. But there's no doubt in anyone's mind who's going in when the mayor has a child of his own - me.
Now it's my turn to play a true game of life or death. May the odds be ever in my favor

A special friend in very special places. I met Creon when you were 12 years old at a dinner party my Uncle Keyon had brought me to in the Capitol. Maybe it was the fact that I was very obviously District or maybe it was something else entirely, but from that night forward, Creon and I have had an intense and strange relationship. And now they stand before me assuring me that with them as a mentor, everything will be alright. How they managed to get themselves as a mentor they won't tell me, but honestly, in the end, does it matter?
♤Creon is gender selectable by the player♤
Romance Route: Red flag of all red flags, forbidden love, different worlds, insta love (at least on Creons part)
Aurelius/Aurelia Weaver ♧ The District Partner ♧ RO ♧ 18
My district partner. I don't know them that well, especially after they dropped out of school at 16 to work full-time in the factories. I'm not entirely sure what I did to them to warrant the looks of pure disgust and anger they throw my way after that, but now things have changed. They asked to be the other tribute for District 8, and now standing in front of them and looking into their eyes, all I can see is a predator looking at its prey. They are going to kill me, and they're going to enjoy it.
♧ Aurel is always the opposite gender of Mc ♧
Romance Route: Enemies to Lovers, Doomed Love, potential unrequited love, perhaps unrequited but actually requited love😏
Asher "Ash" Fairchild ♡ The Childhood Bestfriend ♡ 16
Ash was the first and only real friend I've had my entire life. They were practically the embodiment of everything good in the world. Everyone loved Ash, and when they had their name called for the 23rd reaping the shock and sorrow was felt throughout the entire District. Even walking up to the stage, they moved like a petal dancing through the wind. Their memory has haunted me every day for the past two years, and now I get to experience the same terror they felt in their final moments.
♡ There will be an option to be in a relationship with Ash before their games. Ash is also gender selectable by the player ♡
Romance Route: First love, childhood friends to lovers, soulmates
Soren Vesper ◇ The Mayor ◇ 46
The mayor of District 8, and my Father. A very stern man who prefers things to be done his way. I've never seen his mask of the harsh mayor who does everything the Capitol request ever break, that is until the announcement of the Quarter Quell. The change happened so fast that it scared me. A once mighty man who didn't care about the people of his district now begging them to choose anyone but his child to go into the games. At least I get to know my Father does care for me before I die.
Tribute and Other Profiles TBA

What are your thoughts about Sunrise on the Reaping? 👀 Also so glad you're back. This IF has been on my mind since you first mentioned it on the Shadows of the Gun blog 🫣 Thanks for single handedly reigniting my childhood Hunger Games obsession lol. I'm looking forward to everything you've got planned for your IFs! I love them all so much
oh, im SO EXCITED. just when i thought i was finally starting to move out of my thg obsession sotr new dropped, and i was dragged right back in lmao. i honestly really hope that the main character of the book isn't haymitch. like i love him and think he's interesting, but with the info we have about the book, one of the key elements of the story is how propaganda affects the population. saur im hoping the main character is someone from the capitol:3
anyways Twitter literally exploded that day, and these are my favorite tweets from it (yes, most are mine, idc)
Your cozy life in New Orleans is about to come crashing down.
You are the child and heir to the illustrious Almonáster y Roxás family, infamous for their monopoly on all dealings with the supernatural in 1890s Louisiana. Your youth was spent wanting for nothing— being waited on hand and foot, and kneeling among the reeds of New Orleans’ swamps, catching dragonflies.
But, as you would quickly come to realize, with the shimmery end to the Gilded Age comes the death of that languid, idyllic childhood. The threat of that great expanse beyond your youth skirts ahead of you, cloaked in shadow… alongside the many dreadful and mundane responsibilities that often accompany coming of age.
Preparing to continue your father’s business, even as he chooses to keep you and your family in the dark about the nature of his work.
Navigating the bustling streets of London, where you are to meet your fiancée at the altar.
Contending forces pull you in every direction, as you learn to navigate adulthood, all while representing your house built of cards, the one that splinters beneath its own weight. You may approach the hurdles that face you on your path with the diplomacy that befits your father’s trade, or you may choose to fight the current that takes you.
As you grow and come into your own as a young noble in London, you begin to unfurl your wings for the first time. But leaving the nest comes with problems of its own, some of which may destroy the carefully constructed peace you seek to preserve.
A semi customizable MC (choose your hair type and color, eye color, pronouns, sexuality, etc.)
Choose between four romance options: your fiancée, your secret lover, your fiancée's adoptive sibling, and one of your family's servants. (one male RO, one female RO, and two gender selectable ROs)
Deal with your family issues, all while having to deal with the law constantly making your life worse
Experience the supernatural world of London and decide how you really feel about your family's work with them
Have mommy issues and overall be the messiest person you can be <3

Loren Bennet ◇ The Secret Lover ◇ 19 | RO
Loren Bennet, your childhood best friend and the love of your life. You both met when you were a child, and they had moved to New Orleans. Originally, it was three of you, but after Anika returned home to France, the two of you had grown closer. Far closer than you ever should have, and now it's all been ruined. Loren is heartbroken over the fact that they won't be the one to marry you. Despite the fact that you were all once friends, once you can see their resentment towards Anika building, you're not really sure what will happen the day it becomes too much for them to handle.
Loren is gender selectable
Anika L'Amoreux ♡ The Betrothed ♡ 18 | RO
Anika L'Amoreux, your fiancée. Once, you two were best friends, but now she's more a stranger than anything else, and the fact that she refuses to admit that you two don't know each other anymore causes more issues than it prevents. Anika has no idea about your relationship with Loren, and is insistent on trying to rebuild your friendship. She's sweet and kind, but that kindness seems to just be causing more problems. You're not quite sure how exactly you're going to get through this engagement, let alone an entire marriage.
Anika is gender locked female, but that doesn't mean your sexuality is locked. How your MC feels about Anika is totally and completely the player’s choice.
Claude/Claudette L'Amoreux □ The Failure □ 19 | RO
Seen as the failure of the L'Amoreux family, C's life hasn't been the easiest. Adopted when they were 6, their new family assumed they'd practically rule the world only for them to fall into the wrong crowds and almost cost their family everything. C is desperately trying to make up for what they've done and prove to their family that they've changed, but nobody truly listens. Now, with Anika seen as the star of the L'Amoreux house, C is left to do nothing but follow her around and live in her shadow.
C is gender selectable
Jasper Moore ○ The Servant ○ 18 | RO
Jasper Moore has been a staple in your life for almost as long as you can remember. His family came to work for yours when you were young, and Jasper assigned himself the role of your personal attendee since the beginning. Despite having him so close most of your life, you really don't know much about him. You have no idea how he feels about your situation either, but when you found out about the betrothal, he was one of the first ones to comfort you, promising that he would be there the entire way through. Even if you're sure of nothing else, you can be sure that Jasper will always be there to lend a hand when you're in need.
Jasper is gender locked male
Philippe ‘Pip’ Almonáster y Róxas ☆ The Brother ☆ 10
Pip has been inseparable from your side almost his entire life. Your mother and sister left your life around the same time, and the hurt from that only drove him closer. You're his hero, and he admires you in every way possible. Surprisingly, Pip seemed to take the news of you leaving New Orleans well, but later that night, he had crawled into your bed and cried himself to sleep next to you. Your heart aches at the thought of having to leave him behind.
Flora Almonáster y Róxas ♧ The Sister ♧ 23
You and Flora were close once, but when she turned 18 and got married, that bond withered rather quickly. Only speaking through an occasional letter and a rare visit, you can't say you know Flora all that well anymore. She did, however, come home specifically to offer you support after hearing the news of your engagement, but you're still unsure of how to feel about her.
Andreas Almonáster y Róxas □ The Father □ 48
You have an odd relationship with your father. You've never been particularly close, but you never imagined he'd be putting together a marriage for you behind your back. You and your father may have been distant from each other, but you still trusted him. Now, that trust is broken, and it leaves you to wonder what else he could possibly be hiding from you.

THE CAREFREE ROMANCE
"Is it sin to love?"
Arthur/Aria, a people-pleaser mixed with a warm heart, is the perfect actor for the counterpart lead in a movie that ends in the happiest way of all. Many would categorize them as a golden retriever, always filled with energy and a happy aura. They walked through those stage doors, immediately greeting everybody with respect and smiles on their face.
THE TRAGIC ROMANCE
"For the wounded and the lost."
Corin/Carrie, a cold demeanor mixed with a frozen heart, is the perfect actor for the counterpart lead in a movie that ends in heartbreak. You swore they were throwing daggers at you through the whole reading of the script. The directors say they can feel a connection brewing beneath their harsh exterior, but you can't seem to spot it.
THE THRILLER ROMANCE
"The vanity of existence."
Kenley/Kaylee, a mixture of both cold and warm, you don't actually know if they'd be the perfect actor at all. They're all over the place, left and right, backward and forwards, you can't ever seem to spot them in one place for more than five minutes. The directors are starting to wonder if you two will even be able to progress through these scenes with their attention being constantly stolen, but hey, who knows, it might work!
they're a little a lot upset about how much more significant Ash is in Mcs life. They believe that compared to Ash, they're nothing more than a chapter, while Ash is mcs future, and they hate them for it
