| 𝟳𝘅 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 ·|| HUNGER GAMES x CINDER || ONC 2023 Honorable MentionAmidst the escalating unrest between the windborne utopian city of Lighthaven and its seedy, oppressed underbelly Fumedge, the Grand Duke of Lighthaven, Lucius Sextus, comes up with an ingenious solution.To provide much-wanted respite from the brewing conflict, and achieve the apparent-if-temporary unity, he organizes Gaslight Trials - a highly entertaining panem-et-circenses combat event in the Pits. The combatants may use all steam and thaumaturgy powered augmentations at their disposal, and there is only one rule: defeat, or be defeated.The reward for the last one standing? A chance to start their life anew. A brass key to the city of Lighthaven with a luxurious mansion to call their own within, as well as an aeroship to command.When eighteen-year-old Veda Igglesden steps forward to take her timeworn adoptive father's place in the fight, she might as well be signing her death-sentence. With her eyes fully set on the prize, act-first-think-later Veda must harness the power of technology to try and win for her Papa Otto. Decades of breathing in the toxic air of Fumedge did a number on the old inventor's lungs, and being able to live in the air-filtered Lighthaven would sure come in handy right about now.A high-flying adventure full of gadgetry and intrigue; a pleasing blend of steampunk and postapocalyptic.See Veda unravel the mysterious ploy behind the game's organization, and uncover the truth about her secret origins.Can she cope both with the trials of physical and intellectual prowess, as well as with the trials of life itself: those of love, loss and regret?© 2023 EvelynHailExclusively on WattpadBased on prompt 49!

Annalissa's world is perfect- except for that it's not. As a member of the lowest class of Dystopia, the Orphans, she has no say in her destiny. The government decides everything for her. Her only shot at upwards social mobility and maybe even autonomy is to be Chosen up into the Royal class- the top 1% of the population, to be trained as a leader in this corrupt futuristic world. Like that's ever going to happen. By some stroke of luck, Annalissa is Chosen up during the Choosing Day ritual on her sixteenth birthday, right into the Royal sect, along with three other of Dystopia's most perfect, most beautiful, most intelligent, and most amazing people. But when a cute boy from back home appears in her new life speaking of rebellion, what will Annalissa do? And what about Aidan, the mysterious son of the President, who seems to harbor secret affections for her? (Uh-oh, I smell a love triangle) As tensions rise in Dystopia, everyone looks to newly-Chosen Royal, Lady Annalissa Hunter, to lead the country in a rebellion. But is she really prepared to do so when inside she is faced with so much romantic conflict? Join a relatable teenage protagonist just like you and me on this futuristic journey through rebellion, oppressive government regimes, getting your first boyfriend, and all the other clichés of the YA Dystopian genre.------------------------------------------------------------*WARNING*There's minor swearing throughout, just in case that's a problem for you.ALSO:Although I allude to A LOT of Dystopian works, the actual plot and characters are mine.

Earth and the Eight realms are cut adrift from the network of realities and worlds that make up the expansive Universe, though time will tell if it is enough to stop the World Eater from getting what it wants from Lucifer. Only a few know the truth about what has happened and they struggle to maintain the secret long enough to make a difference in the battle to come. Life has continued, revolving around Lucifer's coffee shop and its menagerie of patrons and the efforts of the Council to keep Earth balanced between light and dark. The only thing reliable in this town is that Sinfully Delicious will be open and that eventually there may be a batch of sticky buns for eager patrons. There will be war. There will be love.

Minho would fight for her. Newt would die for her. Thomas would kill for her.Gally would burn the whole world to the ground for her. Follow the journey of Eleanor, the only female glader, as she struggles to adjust to her new life in the Glade that takes her on a journey of love, loss, and friendship. (Gally x OC)Some notes to add: The central romance plot is between Eleanor and Gally but there is a subplot of Newtmas obviously. The story is inspired by the movies only, because the lore of the books goes quite deep and I don't think I will be able to write up to a standard that honors James Dashner's amazing legacy. Also, Eleanor is named after Eleanor Roosevelt which sticks to the idea that all main characters are named after famous scientists, inventors, and activists. Finally, this will be a three-part book for each movie and just to clarify, no smut! (I don't really like writing it) Also, just acknowledging that the only original character here is Eleanor, everything else including the storyline (minus Gally x Eleanor's romance + other minor changes) is James Dashner's work :)Previous rankings...#1 in Mazerunner #1 in Gally#1 in Scorchtrials #1 in Adventure-Romance…
