Summary: When Sam Campbell is chosen as a tribute for the Games—an annual fight to the death between twenty-four of New Eden's unlucky children—his older brother Dean volunteers to take his place. Dean fully expects to die so that Sam can live, but once he enters the arena, Dean discovers that what's at stake in the Games is far more complicated than simple life and death, and nothing and no one is what they seem. (An AU based on Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games.)

Notes: I am indebted, first and foremost, to Suzanne Collins, whose wonderful young adult series inspired this story. [livejournal.com profile] fishandcustard listened very patiently while I ironed out early ideas for this adaptation, and bribed me with macarons; [livejournal.com profile] bauble worked clean-up shift and helped fix many of the story's lingering problems. [livejournal.com profile] siriaeve knows she is always my first and best soundingboard. And the amazing [livejournal.com profile] aesc—artist, writer, and jumpin' Jupiter, road buddy extraordinaire—inspired me with her beautiful work and was invaluable in shaping the final product. Thank you all so much!

Thank you so much for writing this (and thank aesc for the lovely art), it's definitively one of my favorite works from this BG.
For some reasons, it reminded me of a novel by Orson Scott Card (not the Ender trilogy, I don't remember the name of the book right now though). And anything reminding me of something written by Orson Scott Card is totally, utterly, absolutely (etc.) good. But the truth is, having read some of your other works, I'm not that surprised that I like it so much.
