THE HUNGER GAMES DRABBLE MEME

[redbrunja]

With the release of the finale book of The Hunger Games Trilogy imminent, it seems like an excellent time for a comment meme to whet fandom's appetite. (Plus I just finished my third reread of the first two books and yet still want more!)

So I present.....

THE HUNGER GAMES DRABBLE MEME

How To Play
1. Place a prompt as a comment.
2. Comment with as many prompts as you want. Seriously. Don’t be shy.
3. Reply to a prompt comment with corresponding story! This is a “drabble meme,” so no pressure to write anything more than 500 words. But I doubt any lucky OP would receive an unexpected epic with anger, right? So write whatsha want.
4. Feel free to pimp out this meme to all the communities you can think of + your flist! The more the merrier!

Prompt Examples
A lyric or quote! Katniss/Peeta, "Lend me a helping hand ‘cause I’ve been treating your heaven like a one night stand."
A word! Gale, patient.
A kink! Madge/Katniss, blindfold.
A bit of dialogue! Finnick/Annie, "I just miss you when you're gone."
An action! Prim, mending clothes.
A situation! Johanna/Haymitch, killing time at the Capital.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Peeta is goddamn awesome.

More like I couldn't contain my sense of awesome.

This is awesome. Foxface is one of my favorite minor characters in the series and this realy does her justice.

So, while I'm not a big Peeta/Katniss fan, and I'm even less of a Prim fan, I really enjoyed your piece. I think you've convinced me that I like interactions between Peeta and Prim better than anything with Katniss involved :) Love it!

*flails*

Oh my god this is so deliciously precious!

It helps that Prim looks almost nothing like her sister - it’s easier to be around her if his heart isn’t constantly throbbing with betrayal and bitterness. But they’ve got the same smile and sometimes seeing that makes him hurt in ways competitors in the Hunger Games only wish they could think up.

Oh, Peeta!

This is exactly what I wanted to read. Fantastic job.

Oh my, this is so perfect.

[rosegilmore.livejournal.com]

this was great

Re: mockingjay

[rosegilmore.livejournal.com]

This was so sad and so perfect. Great job.

[electrumqueen.livejournal.com]

okay, this... ended up being sort of long. and potentially not really what you wanted, sorry :/

She does not tell it like a tragedy; after a while, genre lines start to blur. This could be a comedy, after all. (http://electrumqueen.livejournal.com/240090.html#cutid1)

[rosegilmore.livejournal.com]

oh my goodness. this is really perfect.

I can totally imagine this happening. Amazing.


_{Just finished the two books, so i'm reading through all these drabbles!! :)}

[rosegilmore.livejournal.com]

this made my heart break. fantastic job.

[rosegilmore.livejournal.com]

this is so sad, yet i think its totally true.

the hunger games take such a mental toll on the victors.

[rosegilmore.livejournal.com]

this is really heartbreaking

makes me not hate Gale as much. haha

Katniss/Peeta - The nights they dream they question if there is a place, where everything will be all right

Rue, at the District 11 reaping

Oh, thank you :) It's pretty difficult for me to write in English, so it's nice to know that you liked the drabble.

Katniss thinking about the difference between Gale and Peeta...

[rosegilmore.livejournal.com]

_{Written quickly, first fanfic of this genre....not sure if this is what you were looking for...}

I stare at Gale's face, his scared hands, and think he is so unlike Peeta. My brows crease at this thought. I still do not know if he is alive. I hope he is alive. I need him to be alive.
The kiss back in the arena, changed everything for me. I couldn't sleep last night, and woke up to the ear piercing sound of someone screaming-me. Gale came right to my side-telling me something, something that might of calmed me down if this was just a nightmare, but this is my life.

Gale is not the same as Peeta.

I whisper to Gale, in jagged breaths, that I will be ok, that he can leave now. He doesn't.
There is no way to tell him my nightmare, tell him how tonight, I saw myself as a mutt from my first games. And I was killing everyone I was every attached to. My mother, Prim, Rue, Madge, Thresh, Gale, my District 12 family, Cinna...and Peeta. I can still hear him cry out in pain.
I had lost myself in the games. Turned into some cannibalistic monster. The very thing Peeta was worried about so long ago.
Gale has drifted off to sleep in a chair by my bed. I am finally let alone with my thoughts.

The thin blanket that covers my body doesn't conceal my perturbing ribs.

I do not look pregnant.

And for the first I wish I was.
It would mean I had finally gotten over my confusion between Gale and Peeta. Mean that we had happy times together, and that there a was a time we thought we had a future.

I start biting my nails. I must find Peeta, he has to know I am alive--and that I Love him. He had to know, wherever he his, that him being alive means that I can live also. He is the only one who can protect me and keeps the nightmares at bay. I want him by my side, forever. I know that now.

Gale and I were once two birds of a feather-but I am different now. The things in the games change you. Gale and I fit once, but now I am an
entirely different shape-one that has jagged edges and doesn't know if she is good or what to do sometimes. But Peeta does, his edges are rough, they were torn during the games-but he matches me. And he has the insane ability to know right and wrong, and what to do and how to talk. He is so pure, and we fit. Peeta and I.

I wish I had realized this sooner, he needs to know I love him, and somewhere deep down I think i have always loved him.

* big cheers*

"and even if she’s not the Everdeen girl he wants at his side, he’s grateful for her presence all the same."
great ending to a great story. I Really mean it. Your story was well written and just perfect, not to mention it was filled with great little lines. like..
" At her core, Prim’s a healer and when there’s someone in need of fixing, she doesn’t hesitate to go after them"
the tidbit about the cookies and the fore-mentioned lines.

ahhhhhh,,,*long sigh*

[andystar101.livejournal.com]

I just loved this.
"he has to know that I am alive...and that I love him"
it's so..Katniss to figure out that she loves Peeta once he is gone.

Thank you for reading!

I think it fits the prompt really well! Great job!

[abundance39.livejournal.com]

this is really great. :) thx
i love the part about the future. Its just so true. The capital owns so much of them, they had no future under their rule

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

Thank you! The idea of Prim/Peeta started to grow on me while I was writing this, so I'm glad you liked it!

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the fun prompt! :)
