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, something about how he dealt/his reaction to losing his leg.

Losing a limb doesn't really compare to losing a life

Peeta is not sure who was the last person to clip the toenails of his left foot. It was someone from his prep team, but Peeta can't remember which one. Somehow it feels like the final intrusion of his privacy. His leg is probably in some bio-hazard bag in the Capitol, or maybe they have put it in a museum. He doesn't know, and he can't even remember who was the last person to clip his toenails.

The artificial leg is not that bad. He has some phantom pain, but he also has a phantom girlfriend now, so it doesn't matter. They balance each other out. He barely notices the other.

At least Peeta knows for sure who was the last person to hurt his leg while it was still attached. It was Katniss with her silver arrow and too-tight tourniquet. It seems to be Katniss's job to save him by causing him pain.

(oh dear. don't know where this came from. don't even remember which one of peeta's legs got amputated. still, the idea of peeta's leg on some museum shelf cracks me up. the capitol folk might just be crazy enough to do it.)
