“You really think someone could help me?”

Eli gave me a flat look. “No, Aja. I’m telling you this damn story because I think you’re broken and unfixable.”

I gave a humorless laugh. “Sometimes I think I might be.”

“Sometimes I think I might be too,” He said. “But I guess that’s just a part of growing up.”

***

Aja and Krel had a golden childhood. Loving parents, old family friends as caretakers, and endless amounts of trouble to get away with. But that all vanished in a single day, the day IAAN became known in their household. With newfound, terrifying abilities, the siblings are thrown into an unforgiving world with only their 'almost' grandpa to protect them. But they can do anything as long as they're together, right?

Far from their parents and far from their home, the two must learn to survive in a game stacked against them, and all the horrors that come with it. Fighting sacrifice against betrayal. Friendship against revenge. And rehabilitation camps against terrorists. The two learn time and time again that family means everything, come what may. And they will do anything to protect each other.

Even if it means trading one life for another.

Reccing this because of how engaging it was to read. Despite the tags, this is not a crossover but a fusion. There is a sequel to this fic. In addition, there was originally supposed to have been a third fic, but the series hasn’t been updated since 2019. I have put some warnings under the cut for things that happen and have not been warned for by the author:

No, don’t feel bad for sending in so many, it makes me feel appreciated! (and yes I’m doing these out of order)

So, this AU is going to take place in the same universe as just as you cry for slaughter, which is a fic where Aja, Krel, and Douxie are all from District 3.

Eli (16) and Davaros (little Akiridion girl who Aja saved in canon, 13) were both from District 5. Davaros ended up teaming up Aja (almost 18) and Douxie (18).

Steve (18) is a reluctant but skilled Career from District 2. His dad pushed him into the games, and he was mentored by Coach Lawrence. He teamed up with the other career tributes, including District 1 tribute Seamus (18). However, the way the other careers are so glib about killing Davaros causes Steve to kill the District 4 tribute Logan (18) and join up with Aja and Douxie. Douxie is suspicious of Steve, though Aja ends up in a romantic relationship with Steve. Neither of them is fully sure if their relationship is caused by actual feelings or adrenaline from the Arena (it’s adrenaline).

Eli teamed up with District 8 tribute Toby (almost 17), District 6 tribute Claire (17), and District 10 tribute Jim (17).

This arena isn’t that well built. There’s a weak point in the force field. Eli’s and Aja’s teams discover this at the same time, and the seven of them form an alliance. Seven canons go off.

Seamus is this year’s winner of the Hunger Games. He doesn’t know there are seven tributes left standing, albeit all injured from the explosion that allowed them to escape the arena.
