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.

He says, "What are we doing?"

She bites her lip. "Hell if I know."

He wants to say, do you miss him. He wants to say, why did you choose him, in the end?

The irony of it kind of chokes him; Peeta won, in the end; it is Peeta who she wanted. But it is Gale who made it out. Now everything is fucked up.
She is kissing him, hard and fast and fierce. Her hands are behind her back, so the only place they are touching is their mouths.

He thinks it is to shut him up.

Her eyes are closed; he can see every eyelash, dark and separate against her skin. He knows she is thinking about Peeta, knows it deep in his heart. It makes him wish he had been there, to take the bullet.

When I read the last line, I literally had to wave my hands in the air.
