Lowkey considering starting on writing a TBOSAS horror AU where Gaul experiments on the dead tributes’ bodies and unexpectedly become eldritch monsters who put a stop to the games by brutally slaughtering Gaul after some (read: a shit tone of) psychological and physical torment as retribution for her actions. This gives the mentors a chance to make up for their behavior towards the tributes, but will the now terrifying kids accept it?
The eldritch tributes wreak some havoc and do some horror-movie esque shit to scare their city of tormentors before one of the better mentors figures out that this is their dead tributes’ doing. This happens before Sejanus is hung, so both he and Lucy Gray survive through eldritch interference. Not all the magical abilities the tributes get are horrifying on their own, but the way in which they can be used sure are. It ends by the Capitol’s arm being twisted into making life better for the districts for fear of the torture and death given to those who caused the tributes the most pain. I have some ideas for at least some of the tributes’ otherworldly abilities, so lmk if you want me to share those and/or possible plotlines (I already have a few good ones, hence me wanting to actually write it for once. Aside from it being good practice for my book that I’m writing).
