    Summary

    It is the reaping of the 25th Hunger Games. Like all years, two tributes will be taken to fight to the death. But this year, the first ever Quarter Quell, has a twist: the adults of the districts have voted for their tribute representatives.
    Amber Flamsteed, the daughter of the mayor of District 9, has always lived a comfortable life, not having nearly as much risk at the reaping as others due to never having to take tesserae. Patrick Dawnwheat works long days in the fields to help his struggling family get by. The duo's fates are inextricably intertwined when they are voted into the Games together.
    Who has been betrayed by their neighbors, and who will survive?

    Summary

    In the aftermath, a thousand and one deaths flash before his eyes, and Ares feels them all. Every sword. Every spear. Every knife.

    Over and over again, he breathes his last breath, sometimes at the hands of another soldier and sometimes at the hands of himself. He stares at his own face, caked in blood and viscera, and hates himself for loving it.

    War is his vice of choice. It is his lover. His best friend. His worst enemy. He hates to love it, but no matter how he tries, he can’t seem to escape its clutches.

    He’s not quite sure if he really wants to.

    - - -

    It’s ironic, isn’t it? Ares hates all of Poseidon’s children with a vengeful fury, and yet, in this new world of Christianity and Capitalism, Perseus Fucking Jackson is the closest thing he has to a priest.

    Trigger warning: child abuse, canon-typical violence. Rated M.
