This is my favourite Hunger Games fanfic, it’s just absolutely incredible and I love how all of your characters are very distinct, fleshed out people, and I just adore going back to reread them!

just so so amazing
i'm back to rereading again and im always so captivated by the world you expanded on.

i love seeing ty as he is here and how we see him in the future

I wanted Cecelia and Brutus to end up together. I think they suit each other. Complement each other. I don't even mind the slight age difference. As someone who is so used to being desired for her physical beauty, Cecelia needs and deserves to have a partner with whom she can share emotional intimacy. Who else can possibly be do that but a fellow Victor? And it's clear that Brutus, as sweet as he is, sees past her flaws and split personality disorder in a way that, while awkward, yes, is so heart-meltingly sincere. These are two people who can and do understand each other. I wish Cecelia had let Brutus kiss her and make love to her, bed her, as herself and not as Victoria. Hell, I wish they had gotten married. A forbidden love, almost, between a Career and an outlier tribute, would have been sweet and beautiful.

That said, I thought her treatment of him at the 66th was awful and also illogical - Cecelia clearly cares for Brutus, if she named their baby after his dead brother. Unfortunately, even when Cecelia, she is accustomed to using the men in her life - she did it with Tanni; she did it with Brutus. Pretty much the only people she loves without using them are her children and her husband, Bert.

i just reread this story. i have a book that i kept notes in the first-time i read this. i did it again. i cant figure out what happened to Barty. Did i miss it? was he alive or dead at the end? also Chevy is my other question.. his chapter mentions a wife a kids and that he fade from the spot light. did he survive the purge of Victors? those are the only two i dont have a definitive answer for. any incite you can give me?
thank you again for sharing this wonderful story.

This whole fic was beautiful. Thank you so much for writing it. You wrote the victors in such a way that I got truly attached to them all, and the different formats between chapters were so interesting, and made the story of every victor seem so new.

I will definitely keep this fic in my heart. It's my canon, for now.

Now how did this go from a funny chapter with the funniest head canon to one of the most shocking and important plot-wise chapters don't ask me. Oh, and I loved the conversation better Katniss and Johanna. I've never seen that aspect again.

This was extremely funny. And I really liked it because it's a break from the heavy stuff

I loved this chapter. But I did for the wrong reasons. I loved it because I hated Ben. He reminds me too much of the Careers. And I bet that was his goal. And that's what you wanted to convey. And I loved this chapter because I find Ben Cooper more insufferable than Bouniccia (I think that's her name? Idk if I am spelling it right)

Honestly I really love her, she isn't very memorable but still

The last paragraph says "he wasn't the first to kill their District partner. But he was the first to make it out alive". But didn't Platinum kill Ruby in the 5th?

i just wanted to leave a review and say that i've been reading this fic for a long time, constantly revisiting it. these characters are so deeply woven into my perception of the hunger games series; this story is incredible in how it develops the world and these new characters.
hopefully i can come back with a much longer review (just writing this on my lunch break)

also i went through the reviews and i genuinely get upset on your behalf when i read the unnecessary criticism and comments. ugh! you're amazing for writing this and allowing us to read this
still holding out hope that you cross post this story in ao3, it deserves as many people as possible to read it! (plus i think ao3 readers are much more positive in their comments, i am not used to )

“the odds are never in our favor.”- district 11

god ive read this fic at least four times and this chapter will never ever stop breaking my heart

I haven’t read a fanfic this long this fast in a while but the late nights reading chapter after chapter were worth it! I saw a recommendation for this fic in the comments of an instagram post and genuinely this is one of the best fics I’ve ever read. Please tell me you’ve published some original work because I will gladly buy all of your books. I now plan on reading the other fics you have posted here and sending this one to my dad as his first fanfiction (I kept talking about it to him and he was interested).

this was brilliant, and very possibly my favorite chapter yet… your brutus is headcanon for me now and i am absolutely thrilled about it 3
