    Summary

    Haymitch Abernath was quick at math. Very quick.
    But in the Seam, that didn’t count for much. Numbers couldn’t put food on the table, help his mother’s weary hands, or keep the relentless cold from biting his brother's small body. So, this talent of his became little more than a parlor trick, a way to keep his mind busy, and the occasional weapon in a battle of wits.
    The odds of him getting picked were little less than 1%. Haymitch's calculations were right. It’s just that, even if his odds were small—they weren't in his favor.

    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. Equal parts cocky and compassionate, fourteen-year-old Finnick volunteers 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.

    Marked complete because the original ending is complete. Alternate ending updates occasionally.
