THE HUNGER GAMES DRABBLE MEME

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.

Katniss/Gale, "I don't want to hurt you, I don't want to make you sway"

"I hate how I can't lie to you," Finnick sighs. They're lying together in Cinna's bed after some less-than-innocent acts; Cinna is half on top of him, and Finnick is running a hand through his hair, the other hand behind his head. Cinna's fingers are tracing loopy patterns on Finnick's sunkissed chest.

"I don't mind it," Cinna responds quietly. "It makes things a bit easier, with us both having no choice but to be honest. That way we both know there are no strings."

"I can't help but think, though. If I could lie to you, you could love me."

"Finn. It's fine. No pressure, remember?" Cinna looks at him with guarded eyes.

"Yeah. No pressure," Finnick replies and looks away, trying to convince himself that this is best; but he can't help the nagging voice in his head telling him he wants the pressure.

"I know you miss him," Gale whispers in her ear. Katniss just hugs him tighter as he continues. "And I'm sorry."

"I just didn't. I didn't realize how much he meant to me until they took him."

Gale's heart skips a beat. So she does love him. "I'm sorry, it was my job to protect him, I should've done better."

Katniss pulls away, all sniffles and red eyes. "It's not your fault, Gale. I don't blame you."

"I know you don't. But I do." He sighs and rubs the back of his neck nervously. "Look, I. I never meant to hurt you. I never wanted to do anything that would hurt you or make you doubt anything you've been working for."

"I know, Gale. I'm sorry."

"For what? You know you can't do anything wrong when it comes to me, Catnip."

Katniss smiles sadly. "For not loving you back."
