Oh God.

Trinityofone on LJ wrote a Hunger Games AU called Birds of Paradise that’s absolutely amazing!

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.)

Even if you aren’t familiar with the Hunger Games series, you should definitely check this fic out! It’s really well written and a wonderful read. ...I cried. A lot.
