was recently reading a hunger games au and got sad and thought about my old hunger games x jjk draft. and because i'm feeling sad, i'm going to post a passage from the first chapter of their reaping.
The Geisha pulls out the chosen slip agonizingly slowly. It gives Yuuji enough time to worry, to look around Megumi’s head, between the Peacekeepers, at Nobara. Her chin is held high and her shoulders are set. She stares daringly at the stage as if challenging it to pick her of all people.
Megumi grasps Itadori’s hand. His fingers are cold and his grip is deathly tight. It’s the same dance every year. Her pride sears through their chests.
Please, Yuuji begs, intertwining his fingers with Megumi’s. The comfort it provides is worth more than whatever implications the boys around him will make. Please don’t let it be her.
The Geisha gently opens the slip of paper. She smiles and reads: “Kugisaki Nobara.”
Everything comes into hyperfocus. Itadori can see the mud caking the edges of the stone town square, the soot in everyone’s hair, clothes, faces, and nails that simply won’t come out no matter how hard they scrub, the colorful Capitol banners that flutter in the wind and wealth in the face of the poorest district, and the breeze that pushes against the hairs on the back of his neck. Megumi’s hand goes limp and his breath hitches into a half-gasp, half-choke. Heads turn to find the girl that was reaped. The girls around her step away, as if Nobara has contracted a plague from becoming a tribute. 
Her luck has run out.
Nobody volunteers in her place. Of course they don’t. Nobody volunteers in the coal-mining district where half the population dies from starvation alone. Surviving is hard enough — winning the Culling Games is impossible.
She steps out of her row and doesn’t look back at her friends or her watching parents as she makes her way to the steps of the Capitol stage. She pushes away the Peacekeepers who try to corral her, wary of runaway attempts or violent outbursts. Her steps are as confident as her pride. 
When she stands next to the Geisha, she does not let her fear show. The Geisha has always made tributes look small and boring next to her power and color. Nobara does not appear small nor boring; she stands with a straight back, curled fists, and a perfectly stolid face staring dead-on at the cameras embedded into the wall parallel to the stage. It’s as if she’s challenging the other twenty-three tributes already, declaring her victory before she’s stepped a foot outside of her district.
It’s exactly as he imagined it over and over again this morning. He had hoped that his anxieties would remain just that: anxiety, a worry over something that could but will never happen.
He finds that it’s hard to breathe in the soot-infested air like he’s a Capitol citizen and not a boy raised by a grandfather and neighbors who worked in the mines his entire life. His gaze tracks the previous victors sitting in the back of the stage. Gojo's previous overjoyous malice has been replaced by a calculating head tilt. Okkotsu examines her just as closely, betraying very little in his expression.
They have to bring her home. They have to.
The Geisha gives Nobara a polite nod. His friend doesn’t turn to meet the gesture, doesn’t even spare a side-eye, a blatant show of disrespect that almost makes Itadori smile. Undeterred, the Geisha continues with the ceremony. “Now for the boys.”
Between the three of them, Megumi’s name is repeated the least amount of times. Being the ward of a famous victor, not just by district but by Capitol standards, means he has plenty of money and food. Tessera does not increase his chances of being picked. Itadori is twice as likely to be reaped, and he doesn’t even have any parents or siblings to care for. In comparison to the rest of the children, they are improbable tributes.
He holds onto this notion and Megumi’s hand tightly as the Geisha draws the slip from the bowl. She smiles, and his worst fear comes true.
“Fushiguro Megumi.”
He can’t lose them both.
“I volunteer as tribute!” Itadori shouts not a half second later, raising his hand high into the air to make his position known. He does it before anyone can turn their heads to the chosen boy, before he can see Gojo’s face fall into preemptive mourning, and before Megumi can step out of the row to greet his fate.
Megumi grabs Yuuji’s shoulders and jostles him. His green eyes are wide open and wild, and his lips are curled back with anger. “You can’t be doing this to me,” he says disbelievingly. “Take it back. Take it back right now.”
“Oh,” the Geisha says, surprised. “We have a volunteer.”
If he keeps holding him like that, he’s going to leave bruises. Itadori brushes him off as firmly as he can. “Please get out of my way,” he demands quietly.
It takes everything in him to not break down under Megumi’s betrayed, hurt face. His resolve to save his friends is strong; the resolve to not outwardly show it is far weaker.
for reference gojo and yuuta are both previous victors. when i tell you i have this entire au still in my head, i DO. there is so much to this and i had so much and i just can never write it because im SLOW and bad at writing anything EVER

A Hunger Games au where a small population of Americans somehow managed to live underground.
They hold onto the democratic system as some ancestor stole a copy of or the actual constitution of the Untied States.
They have a hoard of American history textbooks though they are not regularly handled by anyone other than teachers.
They are underground somewhere in the wild area, a handful leave with the express purpose of finding food least they run out. Scouts often use this time to keep tabs on Panem but mostly stay out of their affairs.
The Americans know about the games vaguely but do not know specifics. They stay out of it to avoid drawing attention to themselves.
They have an aviary, primarily made up of bald eagles named after the presidents from the history books. And the presidents they elect.
First aid still uses the Red Cross (may be irrelevant though. I can’t remember if they do in the movies and books or not so)
The star spangled banner is more of a folk song at this point in time. They sing it as a way to raise morale and at weddings. It is thought to bring good luck and prosperity.
Anyway, I was just toying with the idea because the 4th has been feeling very patriotic.

Covey highschool school au:
Barb: is litrerally mom vibes, will take all the kids to their classes. If they don't have enough money for lunch she'd buy them lunch or share her lunch with them. Cares about her grades but her babies mean more to her 🩷
Tam Amber: surprisingly popular. The kindest, sweetest boy to everyone. Gets like B and C's but nothing amazing. Prob does at least a sport or is probably in a band/ drama club 😭
Lucy Gray: theater kid, litrerally look at her 😭 I think she doesn't really mind if she gets good grades. She cares more about acting. Would probably back chat a rude teacher but usually pretty chill 😭
Cc: Massive trouble maker (usually with Maude) He always has candy with him and he shares with literally everyone in every one of his classes. Just a sweetie 😭😭😭😭
Maude: terrified freshman at all time 😭 will get lost 90% of the time. Barb takes her to her classes and makes sure that no teachers give her any trouble 😭. Will probably skip a few classes at least onceeeee 😭😭😭

HG AU ShiraZumi?
He shudders, opened and sweet, his neck bared to your anger, to your pain, and you can't help but think that if he's so desperate to martyr himself, maybe he should do so in the arena, and bite harder and hate yourself for it.

It's said in the books that the children of victors are reaped at much higher numbers than regular kids which is what made me think of Sarah in game. She'd hardly be unusual or stand out as the child of a victor, and worse would probably have playmates who's parents also had to survive like her dad.
yep! i know from the books that that’s likely how sarah would be killed in this au. i doubt she’d have any friends whose parents would’ve survived the games too, though, because joel (and lucy grey or her tlou equivalent) would be the only district 12 victor and i doubt she would’ve spent time outside 12
the only reason i didn’t immediately gravitate towards this outcome is because i can definitely see joel doing anything and everything snow asks of him to make sure sarah is never reaped. maybe something happens that changes this—snow makes a bargain joel has to refuse, or maybe snow tries and fails to get information out of joel on tess, who is maybe suspected but never not yet confirmed to be rebellion, i don’t know. either way, the result is either sarah getting reaped or sarah being “tragically killed” in some “accidential” way that was totally not planned by the capital as joel’s punishment.
i especially like the latter option because it keeps the capital looking clean and innocent to the public, whereas reaping sarah could be seen as cruel. in this au the capital citizens’ would’ve literally known her since she was a baby, so putting her into the games could backfire for them. but claiming there was a rebel attack in 12 and the victor’s only remaining child, innocent capital- darling sarah miller, was killed in the crossfire??????? when in reality she was shot by peacekeepers assigned to do so???? definitely some shit the capital would do

“She draped him [Apollo] in a light blue fabric she called a “chiton.” It was light and flowy and hung in a way that (thank the gods) showed off his chest. It stopped just above the knee, and underneath he wore soft, silken pants of the same color, trimmed halfway up the thigh with jewels. He expected them to be heavy, but to his pleasant surprise he could barely feel them. It was finished off with golden sandals.”
“Rachel led him down to the stables and they met Meg and her stylist… His gremlin of an ally complimented him well. She wore a lavender chiton that came down to the floor with an underskirt of jewels. Her glasses had been removed (which she grumbled about very loudly), but the rhinestones on them had been replicated by small diamonds on the corner of her lids. They both wore matching jewelry, but her bob was crowned by a circlet of jewels.”
The sketch of the tribute parade costumes from my Hunger Games AU I promised! I don’t have the iPad to digitize it but I will when I do!
@ukelele-boy @xxqueenofdragonsxx since I know y’all read it

I’ve been going a little insane thinking about death note hunger games au and I’m very stuck in between Light either being a full on capital game maker or a career tribute. I do know L was an absolute monster in his game but went completely unnoticed for most of his game and somehow has disappeared within the capital since he won
