    Summary

    Reaping Eve is a holiday in District 4, where no one enters the arena except by choice. The families of young children celebrate their safety; the Elites who will volunteer have been training for this moment all their lives. But on Reaping Eve of the 65th Hunger Games, there's an accident. On Reaping Day, there's a dare which prompts Finnick to volunteer against Mags' instructions. Somehow that's all it takes for the system to start breaking down, especially for the most prominent Elite family in Four: the Crestas. Watching from home as a newly minted celebrity demolishes the competition isn't what they'd planned on.

    Or: It's all well and good to live in a Career district and know someone will always volunteer. But someone has to be the person who's been told from birth that his highest calling is to be a human sacrifice.

    Shout out to CryptidGrimnoir137 as my sounding board, including prompting the original idea.

    Original story is 75k words and complete as of 2/1/25. Longer alternate ending compete as of 5/5/26.

    Summary

    Tony Stark met Steve Rogers in some dungeon basement in the middle of godforsaken nowhere.

    Sure he’d met Captain America before. They’d been working together for a while now, and had saved the world and a couple of large cities together. They were… collegial, maybe even friendly, but not much more.

    But Steve Rogers was someone new.
