bishova hunger games au thoughts…

the games have changed their ages of competition after capitol outcry, raising the minimum to 15 and the oldest to 22

rumored that district 1 and 2 snatch children from other districts to compete instead of their own kids - raise them in the red academy

natasha was the favored winner for her games - but died saving a boy (clint) from an outlying district who became winner

kate’s family is capitol (her father is bureaucratic and her mother has a successful business empire) but they are moved to the districts as a punishment after her father makes too many enemies (kate is about 7/8). kate and her mother are sent separately from her father and he never arrives at their new home.

the capitol assigns eleanor as the district’s mayor and she quickly applies her business tactics to increase the economic output of the district to try and win the capitols favor.

the district she’s sent to is clint’s. they have a chance meeting - kate is ten and she’s always in the wrong place at the wrong time. a fight breaks out and she’s got nowhere to go as the peacekeepers bear down on the crowd, it’s clint that plucks her out of it and shoves her down an alley to make an break for it. she’s obsessed ever since.

after her father’s disappearance she had started watching the hunger games with an intensity her mother worried about. kate had never known loss before her father, and the games fed into that void. after running into clint she was enthralled with his and natasha’s games. the way two strangers formed an unlikely bond against all odds. the way natasha was ripped from him.

after a heated argument with her mother before the reaping ceremony, kate volunteers as tribute when a girl barely 15 is chosen. it will be the first time a capitol-born child will compete. clint is the only mentor for her district.

yelena is a district 2 red academy tribute. they had begun experimentation after natasha’s games for mind control. she’s trained under the control until the reaping (would be considered “cheating” otherwise)

there’s lead up to the games - stolen glances in the training room, constant sparring with each other (kate isn’t convinced that yelena doesn’t purposefully line herself up so that they’re always partners), kate desperately trying to say hi, yelena never giving her the time of day but making offhanded comments during her interview that sounds very pointed at kate, “clint! that’s the girl! that’s the one i’ve been asking you about, who is she beyond district 2?”and then yelena does a whistle on stage and clint stiffens, his face pale and says, “kid, that’s your number one enemy in that arena.”

except in that arena, when kate has a clear shot after yelena’s finished district 10, yelena looks at her and does the slightest shake of her head. kate fumbles. in her hesitation, yelena scrambles on the terrain and knocks kate down the side of the rocky cliff. and she thinks this is it. except a wire goes taut and suddenly her body stops falling. by the time she makes it back over the cliffside, there’s another body.
