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.

Finnick, the rumors he heard about the lovers from district 12, both disproved and confirmed.

He's pretty sure he's heard it all. Capitol parties aren't exactly known for their discretion or restraint (or their lack of pettiness in any regard, for that matter), and the gossip runs as freely as the booze. But District 12 on everyone's lips? Whispered words about Seam kids snapping with a thin line of electric excitement which whips haphazardly from one extreme to the next, reaching every corner of every room?

This is something new.

He hears their names long before he sees their faces for himself. Peeta Mellark. Katniss Everdeen. Tragic lovers? Game players extraordinaire? Victims? Movers and shakers in the Game?

They all look to him for insight, from the ridiculous Capitol girls spilling their drinks all over his arm to Caesar Flickerman, hoping for a sound bite, and he doesn't need to meet the kids from the coal district to know the answer is all of the above...without asking for any of it.

After all, Finnick should know.

Nice way to bring this ficlet around to who Finnick is at the end.

Love it. The last line is great.

Thank you! <3

Yes! Trust Finnick to totally get what's going on before he even meets the pair. I love how you convey that long before there was a girl on fire, there was a kid with a trident who took all the horrible things that were being done to him and turned them to his advantage as much as possible. Awesome! ♥
