Maze’s Victory outfit from Chapter 16 of Unto the Labyrinth!!! Commissioned from @maitaitiu ❤️
Unto the Labyrinth: Chapter 16 (Victory: Part 2) is now up!
“So, Maze,” Caesar began once everyone was situated, “How does it feel, being back in the Capitol and knowing you’re the Victor of the 57th Hunger Games?”
“I…” Maze began. Everyone was silent, clinging on to her every word. “It…it doesn’t quite feel real. Like a dream.”
It was the truth. Nothing quite felt real anymore.
“You’re living the dreams of many people, Miss Donahue,” Caesar replied. “I hope you realize that.”
“It’s more of a nightmare, really.”

Summary: “Maze Donahue always thought she would be lonely forever. No one wanted to be friends with a troublesome orphan with a penchant for pranks. But when the unthinkable happens and she is Reaped for the 57th Hunger Games, she is shocked to find people taking an interest in her for the first time ever - the Capitol, her mentor Beetee, and even other tributes. She must deal with the impermanence of this social support, including the deaths of her allies, and try to survive the horrors of the Hunger Games and all that comes afterwards.
But no matter what, she won’t ever be alone again.”
Unto the Labyrinth: Chapter 15 is posted!!!
The world in front of her was so blurry that she couldn't see Beetee's facial expression. “I'm sorry, Maze.”
“I can't do it.” Her voice broke. “I don't want to—I can't—be the Victor!”
There. She said it. The V word, in reference to herself.
Beetee's words softened even more. “I'm so sorry.”

WE ARE SAVED
So, upon reading Sunrise on the Reaping, I’d like to congratulate Unto the Labyrinth for officially now being canon-divergent and an AU.
I’m a little pissed that SotR messed up UtL’s story trajectory so bad, especially with Beetee, but whatever.
I’ll release an official statement when I post the next chapter of Unto the Labyrinth

⚡️Unto the labryinth from the WIP Game
Here, you get a brief excerpt of next chapter!
As they turned a corner, another familiar voice rang out.
“Here she is! Our shining star herself!”
Philomena stood at the end of the corridor, a giddy grin on her face, next to Harmonia, Troy, and the members of Maze’s prep team. Philomena was unchanged, donning her usual skintight bodysuit and pink pigtails, as was Harmonia.
Philomena rushed forward and engulfed Maze in a hug. “Maze! Oh, I can’t believe it! Victor of the 57th Hunger Games!” It might have been the lighting, but Maze swore she saw tears in Philomena’s made-up eyes. “Congratulations, dear.”

Quiz: Which “Unto the Labyrinth” Character Are You?
I created a fun little personality quiz based on the characters from my fic Unto the Labyrinth!
No need to have read it to take it! Let me know who you all get :)
Unto the Labyrinth: Chapter 7
Soon, the plate beneath Maze’s feet began rising, taking her with it. The tunnel plunged Maze into darkness, and she gulped, nausea clenching her stomach.
This was it.
Thirty seconds later — which felt like an eternity to Maze; the launch room must have been deep underground— she emerged into bright light. She blinked a few times, before taking in the sight of the arena before her.

So I kinda forgot about Tumblr for a while and now I have a backlog of Unto the Labyrinth chapters to post. Whoops.
I’ll be queuing those up for the next couple of days
Haven’t been on here in a while, anyways here’s plush Maze from my fic Unto the Labyrinth
Unto the Labyrinth Chapter 6 is up!
Anxiety overtook Maze. She thumbed her ring, fingers trembling.
She was up.
Finally, the applause for the District 2 boy began dying down, and someone wearing all black at the side of the stage motioned to Maze, indicating she was next.
She sat up straight and prepared to stand up, moving her thumb over her ring one last time. Her heart pounded in her chest.
“And now, for someone who we’ve been curious about since her Reaping, and even more curious about since the tribute parade,” Caesar announced. “The one and only, Maze Donahue, from District 3!”
Maze took a deep breath, stood up, and walked out onto the stage to thunderous applause.

Unto the Labyrinth Chapter 5 is now up!
Beetee’s hollow, despaired eyes at his final interview would not leave her mind. The eyes of a man — no, a boy — who had just witnessed an entire week full of horrors. The eyes of a boy who knew that out of the twenty-four sent into the arena, he was the sole survivor. The eyes of a boy who had to live with the fact that he had murdered six other teenagers.
Now, across the table, a calm, collected man sat and ate his dinner. There was no trace of the despair he once had anywhere on him.
Maze wondered just how Beetee had learned to live with it all. How he managed to compartmentalize his negative emotions and memories from the Games. Or if he hadn’t and just learned to mask it well.
She wanted to know what made him tick.

Unto the Labyrinth Chapter 4 is now up!
Her head was still in her hands when she stepped out of the elevator, causing her to nearly run into Beetee. He had been waiting for her at the elevator.
“How did it go?”
“I followed the plan,” Maze replied, not even trying to mask the despair in her voice. “But then I messed it all up.”
“Oh? What happened?”
Maze bit her lip. “I gave the dummy a stupid voice.”
Beetee raised an eyebrow.
“You gave the dummy a…stupid voice?” He couldn’t hide the astonishment in his own voice.

Here, have a snippet from Unto the Labyrinth, my Hunger Games OC fic
The cameras cut to Maze posing and acting cute, as well as some of the crowd’s reactions to her. They seemed enthralled by Maze’s actions.
Caesar chortled. “Ho ho, the crowd is just eating Miss Donahue up! And she’s eating them up, it seems. Adorable! I cannot believe this is the same girl who was yelling and cursing at her Reaping. She did a complete one-eighty!”
“I don’t know, Caesar,” Melia replied, clicking her tongue. “She’s posing and acting like you’d expect from someone from a Career district. District 3 tributes are not nearly prestigious enough to show off like that. Like, come on, you’re District 3. They’ve only had like what, four Victors in fifty-seven years? It’s cringeworthy, in my opinion. This girl obviously thinks she’s much hotter shit than she actually is, excuse my language.”
Maze, biting into a giant fried animal leg, let out an indignant noise.
That bitch!
Troy laughed. “Ha! Told you so!”
Caesar looked taken aback. He gave his co-host a side-eyed glance. “Well, that’s certainly an opinion.”
The two commentators moved on as District 4’s chariot appeared on-screen.
“I never liked Melia Ferrero,” Philomena commented, cutting up her meat with her knife and fork. “She always has something negative to say about everybody and everything. People like her are absolutely exhausting.”
She glanced pointedly at Troy as she said that. He didn’t seem to notice, jovially continuing to scarf down his food.
Sorry for the absence, both here and on AO3! Artfight has been taking up most of my creative energy
I am halfway through Chapter 4 of Unto the Labyrinth, so expect that soon!
Happy birthday to Maze Donahue from Unto the Labyrinth!
So apparently for the 2-3 weeks it’s been up, Unto the Labyrinth had a glaring typo in its summary that’s now been fixed. So sorry about that!
Unto the Labyrinth: Chapter 3 is up!
