    Summary

    “So you are drinking again.” Katniss stated flatly.

    His silence acted as confirmation enough.

    “Is this because of what happened to Effie?” she pushed.

    Still he had nothing to say. He hoped the subject would be dropped if he just kept on walking and refused to acknowledge her.

    “If she were here, she would be disappointed to know–”

    He stopped dead in his tracks, unable to hold his tongue any longer.

    “Well that’s the goddamn point! She’s not here!” he shouted.

    His hands clenched into fists so tight he was sure blood had been drawn.

    “She should be nagging me to clean the house, or to paint the bedroom her favorite shade of purple, or make room in my closet for all of her ridiculous outfits!”

    He looked up for a moment at the clouds overhead, still grey, still threatening to pour down upon them at any moment without mercy.

    “It’s supposed to be her job to go out in the rain and talk about boy problems. She should be here. She should have survived, not me! But just like every woman I ever..."

    He hesitated.

    "Like every woman I ever loved, she had to go and die. So yeah I reached for the bottle again… I let everyone down… again.."

    Summary

    Effie spends her first years in Twelve, wondering how different her life would have been in the Capitol. Certainly, her hands would still be smooth and free of callouses, but she knows there would be invisible blood staining her palms and coating her soul the longer she had stayed.

    Haymitch wonders if it would have been easier to fade into obscurity as Twelve's only victor finding solace at the bottom of the bottle or in a bed not his own. The arrival of the Capitol girl ruins his plans to fade away.

    Loneliness is a dangerous disease that infects them by tearing away their skin and leaving them raw for years.

    Summary

    In a universe where Peeta and Katniss were never reaped, they slowly fall in love.

    Or

    When I was young, I didn't understand. I thought it was a useless whim of people with too much money to spend. Today I know why they apply the ointment precisely on their necks. It is because that's where boys' noses go when they hug you. At least Peeta’s does, every time. He puts his arms around my back and breathes a long sigh into my neck every time we meet again. I remember that I will see him today.

     

    My fingers glide over the petals damp with dew. They are extremely delicate and soft to the touch, they almost seem to fall apart with my rough fingers. For some reason, I have the urge to feel the soft sensation with my lips, so I touch the petals gently to my mouth. It's so velvety. For the same reason that I picked the strawberries early, I want to pick the lavender. There's a hole in my stomach and it needs to be filled. Lavender really does smell divine and he would probably love the smell too. So I pluck a branch and put it in my bag
