I’ve been thinking about this moment a lot and how to interpret it, so I want to see what Tumblr thinks. Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comment section or reblogs if you would like to elaborate!
Snow gives his lover a rose and then kills her, fast forward years later, he gives Katniss roses to tell her he’s going to kill her lover. Suzanne is a genius.
all of me changed like midnight (all the love we unravel)
“Good evening. This is President Paylor,” the figure on the screen announces, and Effie feels anxiety prickle across her skin at the formality of the woman’s voice. Hardwired to worry about the worst, her shoulders tense, and it is only Katniss’s hand on hers, loosening her fingers from where they had begun to gouge into her palm, that forces her to relax. “Tonight, I bring a formal announce on a decision the council and I have made, for the better of the entirety of Panem. To strength us as a nation.”
“I don’t like the sound of that,” Katniss frowns, and her grip on Effie’s hand tightens.
It did not matter how many years had passed since the Games- always, their first instinct was to presume the worst.
A Haymitch/Effie + Katniss/Peeta marriage law au, with minor Gale/Madge and Annie/Jo. Rated E. Chapter one.
My favourite hunger games ships and their rating- a very unnecessary yet necessary post
Peeta ♥️ katniss
10/10- do I even need to say anything?
Rye ♥️ delly
11/10- I love the fandom for making this a thing. Rye being all flirtatious and teasing and sarcastic and delly being delly and the whole best friends brother trope it so perfect. Also I just like the idea of delly being part of the mellark family. I also really like the idea of how given ryes personality everyone just assumes he’ll be playing around but then he falls in love with the sweetest girl out there and that just leaves everyone shocked so yeah
Bannock (the eldest mellark, don’t fight me on this his name is bannock argue with the wall) ♥️ Johanna
9/10-I don’t think I’ve read a lot of fanfics on this but I love love love the ones that I have. I picture bannock as someone super mature and calm and collected and then there’s Johanna and how different they are and like her going crazy and him just standing there silently behind her showing 100% support is *chefs kiss*
Gale 🩷 madge
6/10- I know a lot of people love this ship but I just really don’t like gale so I spend as little time thinking about him as possible but madges amazing tho 🫶
Prim ♥️ Rory
7/10- cute ship, high school trope, quite couple that no one really knows about. Not very exciting but works for me
Mr mellark ♥️mrs mellark
8/10- this is definitely a little weird given how mrs mellark is described in the books but @little-lynx ‘s work just made it impossible not to love them or at least love the potential they had
Mr Everdeen ♥️ mrs Everdeen
7/10- I’m disappointed in myself for this but for some reason their story just didn’t do much for me. I know it was very sweet and then heartbreaking but it just felt too basic still (oops)
Annie ♥️ Finnick
9/10- don’t hate me for this but I feel like finnick dying just added sooooo much more depth to their story. I’m sure that they had a very moving story but we didn’t really get it and I haven’t read any major fanfics at least not canon complement that made me go like dang they good. But after finnick died my heart really broke for Annie and her son
I wake up in a cold sweat. My body tingling and my eyes full of tears. My family’s dead corpses are engraved in my mind.
“Mom? Prim? Dad?” I call out wanting this to all be a horrible dream.
I hear running foot steps and sigh deeply. It was just a nightmare.
“Kat? Are you okay?” Prim. My darling Prim stands in the doorway. I give her a small sad smile and she grins back at me, “Love you, Kat. Nightmare again?” She asks going from happy to worried in an instant.
“I’m fine, Little Duck. Just a bad dream. Nothing to worry about,” I try to act calm and collected, for her, and she seems to believe me. Good.
My father enters the room next, “Well good morning to you too my little mockingjay!” My smile grows. He is the only one that can fix my mood when I’m down. I love him and Prim more than anything.
As my mother joins us, my smile falters. I love my mom, but she doesn’t try to calm me or make me feel better after an episode or bad nights.
“What was this one Katniss?” I wince at her harsh tone.
“You… You all were… Well-”
“Well what?! Talk!” She’s not a great person at night, after I wake her up. She can be kind in the day though. When I’m not engulfed in a panic attack, that is.
“WELL! As I was saying… You all died… and Finnick, Annie, Madge, Gale too,” I start to tear up, but my mother just stares at me until she decides that it’s enough, and leaves my room.
I sigh, thinking about how she used to be kind, caring even. That is until the bullies at school got worse. She doesn’t like that I am ‘mentally unstable’ as the doctor says.
I smile at Dad and Prim, then drift back into an uneasy sleep.
