wise men say (you'll never figure out real love)
haymitch/the girl back home, johanna, maysilee, snow (katniss/peeta)

this is not a story about fire.

a) i am getting so much anonymous spam on dw, what the fuck. i should probably turn off anon commenting (nobody cares what you think anna!) but i'm too lazy

b) examssssss oh my god. i have two, one on the 23rd and one on the 26th but i actually need to do well so i need to start studying

c) professor asked me if i wanted to have coffee, after marking up my essay. i feel unclean in all the ways.

d) no summer plans. (well like, vague volunteer shit here.) but i really really want to go home i am so homesick i might burst. i need to immediately email every ngo in auckland/wellington because just HOME.

e) i am writing ALL THE FIC these days i even started on katnissspawn (ariel mellark, for anyone who remembers) + johanna the other night. ugh thg i don't even understand how i adore you.

f) somehow i am into indie games, it started with choice of zombies, progressed to rebuild 2, and now i'm addicted to emily short, who writes AMAZING interactive fiction. guys alabaster is so flawless, it's like a conversation between the woodsman and snow white and there are eighteen diff. endings and it's 3am because i stayed up to get all of them. seriously it is like. i want to write fic for at least three of the endings. PLEASE PLAY IT SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT. the prose is lovely and sparse and achey and i love the concept to pieces and it's just. so great.

everybody told me love was blind (then i saw your face and you blew my mind)
clove, gale. (cato, katniss, foxface, finnick, johanna; various permutations thereof.)
2,025 words. pg-13. warnings for implied sex, implied violence, and clove's head. plus i mucked around with timelines a little, and this is mostly movie!canon, if there's a real difference.
"the 74th games get interrupted instead of the 75th and the aforementioned characters are all part of the rebellion. cato and clove LOVE gale, and still hate katniss and peeta, but tolerate/don't kill them because of gale."

you taught me that it was good to be crazy )

the unlocking and the lift away
primrose everdeen (gale, katniss, haymitch, peeta, ocs, etc)
for "oh the demons come, they can subside" but this isn't really prim/gale, not where it counts.
pg. 1,716 words. title from bon iver. character death, underage sexuality, no caps, second person.


you arrived home, victorious. the pictures of you show your crown, gleaming and beautiful, nested in your beautiful hair. they do not show any of the scars. the scars were never yours to keep.

your sister pressed her fingers to her mouth and could not meet your eyes.

it's all right. you couldn't look at peeta mellark's brother.

even now, when you close your eyes you see his blood.

set in the same universe as ready to suffer, ready to hope. basically, cut out your heart if you love somebody; if you're lucky, they'll love you back.

this you can keep
pg. spoilers through mockingjay. 1511 words
katniss/peeta. (kat/gale, finnick/annie, johanna, cinna, haymitch, prim.)
peeta gives katniss his heart. usually this is the end of a love story; for them, it is the beginning.


i'd promised you a heart, you'd promise to keep )

with a whimper (not a bang)
katniss everdeen/gale hawthorne. (rory, prim, posy, etc)
pg. 1,577 words. character death, sadfacing.
au; the 74th games do not reap primrose everdeen. this is what happens instead; it's kind of a love story.




She says, Will you run away with me?

He says, yes.

There is a tree above them and a rock underneath them and the air is clean, clear, the fresh taste that comes after the rain thick in their mouths.

She leans forward and presses her mouth to his. This is going to be an adventure, she says.

There is no one else I'd rather be with, he says, smiling with his eyes.



(She is twenty-five and he is twenty-eight and (almost) all their children are grown up and their mothers are settled and now, now, finally they can be free. Freedom comes with a price and they know it; but it has already been paid.)

There's something to be said for habits it's hard to break. Johanna, after the war.

i'm lucky that you picked up, lucky that you stayed on; i need someone to put this weight on. )
