Summary
My uncle is the only living Victor in the District; as such, he is one of the few who never goes hungry. But, as I think about the mandatory Game to watch, I'm not envious of him. The Hunger Games is always bloody and horrific.
But even though Haymitch would have plenty to give, my father never asked him for anything. Which Gale knows very well.
'His brother' I correct Gale darkly. Whatever the conflict between my father and my uncle, my Dad considers him a full-fledged brother, even though their father is not shared. Which, again, Gale knows very well.Or, its a different universe, and Katniss's dad is alive. It helps some things, and some things are...dark as ever.

Summary
In the shadow of a haunted legacy, seventeen-year-old Hartley Abernathy has grown up watching his father's demons eat him alive. Haymitch Abernathy—Victor of the 50th Hunger Games, sarcastic mentor, and barely functioning alcoholic—is known across Panem for his defiance of the Capitol. But to Hartley, he’s just a broken man who never came home whole.
When Hartley’s name is drawn at the Reaping for the 69th Hunger Games, he becomes more than the son of a Victor—he becomes a tribute in a brutal arena designed to punish, entertain, and remind the districts who holds power.
With no allies, a distant mentor who can barely look him in the eye, and the ghost of his father’s past hanging over him, Hartley must decide if he will follow in Haymitch's footsteps—or forge a path of his own. But surviving the Games means more than just staying alive. It means confronting the truth about the Capitol, his father, and himself.
The 69th Hunger Games will change everything.

Summary
Only three people from District 12 have ever won the Hunger Games. One is dead, the second is a dysfunctional alcoholic, and the third is you, a District reject beloved by the Capitol. Like clockwork, the two of you send a boy and a girl to their death every year.
You expect the 74th Hunger Games to be no different until Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark literally spark the Capitol's attention. Now, you have to navigate both keeping your tributes alive during the Games and your complicated relationship with your co-mentor. And all that focus on District 12 love doesn't help with keeping down the feelings you've tried to bury.
Based on a mix of book and movie canon. The events of this will go up to the end of Catching Fire/beginning of Mockingjay.

Summary
The games can't be won. They can only be survived.
One year ago, Haymitch promised he wouldn't let them happen again.
Today, they resume.Nobody taught him how to be a mentor, but two horrified tributes rely on him now. Two tributes that likely have no chance of making it past the first ten minutes.
Thrown back into the Capitol, Haymitch forces himself to endure his trauma all over again, despite knowing there is no true happy ending for anyone. How is he supposed to teach them to live if he doesn't even want to live himself?

Summary
The Capitol wanted only one victor. Wouldn’t it be easier to tell the public that Peeta tragically succumbed to blood loss before anyone could save him?
As the 75th games quickly approached, Katniss and Haymitch were guaranteed to be reaped in the third quarter quell. With no Peeta to protect, they only have each other to look out for. All while simultaneously fueling the growing spark of the ever looming rebellion.
Haymitch Abernathy, who lit the spark in his own games 25 years prior, now has Katniss to fuel the flame he had always wished to spread. He just hoped it would work in his favour this time.

Summary
“Listen. Get yourselves in the survival stations, don’t worry about the big guys. Nothing you can do against them anyway, right?”
Haymitch intended it as good advice. All it’s done is make even little Sandy look glum.
He leaves. He’s got to stop before he gets attached.
(Haymitch watches Finnick's games.)

Summary
It had been weeks since Haymitch won and weeks more since Burdock showed him Lenore Dove’s grave. Long enough for the leaves to look like blood and the trees to die with summer.
It was the first school year Haymitch would not attend, not because he wasn’t allowed to but because he knew that in less than a year, when the world had life again, he’d be leading two of his old classmates to their deaths.

Summary
“It’s a memory book.” Peeta begins. “Katniss will write down things about them, and if there aren’t any pictures, then I’ll draw them.” He says solemnly, and my hand caresses the corner of the page. I can remember Sid’s silver eyes gazing up into the stars. I bite the inside of my lower lip and look at Peeta.
“It’s a good idea.” I mumble. Ghosts of my past appear everywhere around me. Constantly, I remember. No, I don’t want anything to do with this book.Haymitch is introduced to the memory book. He feels conflicted.
