Summary
Fjord Stone should be on the Tide’s Breath with Vandran, sailing the high seas. Instead, he’s the only 17 year old first year at the Soltryce Academy, trying to get a handle on this newfound magic in an unfamiliar world.
Bren Ermendrud should be at Master Ikithon’s summer home, finishing up his Volstrucker training. Instead, he’s spending a few weeks back at the Soltryce Academy with Astrid and Eadwulf, keeping up the illusion that the Volstrucker program does not exist.
Neither of them belong here. Both of them have secrets to hide.
………
Or: what if Fjord had been recruited by Vandran earlier? What if he’d made his deal with Ukatoa as a teenager? What if he’d actually enrolled in the Soltryce Academy to learn about his new magic, like he was planning on doing at the beginning of the campaign? And what if he’d ended up at the Academy at the same time as Caleb?

Migraine coming on. No painkillers. Fucking fuck. He shoved his hands back into his pockets, but he knew it was useless, he was out of Excedrin, didn’t have any Advil on him, and left his joints and whatever alcohol he currently had back at home. Fuck This.
Or: Ashton and Imogen meet swapping migraine medication on public transit, and things continue from there.

Summary
Finnick has always known he will be chosen to represent his district in the Hunger Games one day. He is unquestionably a prodigy, invited to train with the big kids at only thirteen years old.
He’s always been planning to volunteer one day, but when tragedy strikes his family, Finnick ends up volunteering years earlier than he was ever supposed to. Does a boy only fourteen years old really stand a chance of winning? Even one as exceptional as Finnick? It’s never happened before, not once in the history of the Games.
Finnick soon finds out that he not only stands a chance but is the overwhelming favorite to win. This is for reasons that have very little to do with his extensive training.
Follow along on Finnick's journey as he goes from overconfident but lovable kid to unwitting child star to Panem's most prominent sex symbol to the rebellion's most valuable spy — and he also falls in love somewhere along the way.

Summary
The ocean raised Finnick Odair. The Capitol claimed him. At fourteen he won the Sixty-Fifth Hunger Games and became Panem’s golden boy: sun-bleached hair, crooked grin, and a body the entire nation wanted to touch. What the cameras never show is the price of that victory: the nights that come after the galas, the smiles, and the screaming crowds.
Ten years later, Finnick is still drowning, long after the arena fell silent. Some debts are paid in silk sheets and stolen breath, and the waves keep calling him under.

This is Finnick's entire life story, from the day he was reaped onwards. Each phase of his life offers new challenges, but if there's one thing he can do, it is adapt.

Summary
How Johanna and Finnick first met.
A year after Johanna wins the 71st Games, she and Finnick are bought by the same client. They navigate a difficult appointment and its uneasy aftermath.
—
People are an anchor, Johanna thinks.
There's no covenant between Victors. They've all been plucked from their homes, thrown into the morass to fend for themselves. Still, she watches Finnick lift his arms so Lucet can peel away the straps of his shirt and asks herself what any of them owe each other. What survives if the answer is nothing.
