redbrunja | 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.

[ETA: this doesn't really fit your prompt, sorry.]

District 12's boy knows how to work the cameras. He smiles, half at Caesar, half at the audience. When he speaks, his voice is clear and low and intimate and Caesar feels the whole room leaning closer.

If this was an interview tape, he'd have Mellark hosting one of his networks double-handful of morning talk shows (that Cranberry girl was getting lame ratings these season anyway), ease him into commentary circuit, make him a household name within three years. But this wasn't an interview tape and like 96% of the people Caeser interviewed, Peeta wasn't going to live out the week. If Caeser was a betting man (which he wasn't; it was against contract), he'd place money on this golden-tongued boy dying in the first melee - probably about ten minutes after his Katniss.

It was a damn shame. Caesar could have made that boy famous.

wow, i really like this. peeta is so awesome, goddamn.

Peeta is goddamn awesome.

You may have done things differently from my exact prompt, but you still did exactly what I wanted. I love the appreciation Caesar has for Peeta's talent and the dissapointment that extends from the belief that he's going to die. Caesar struck me as a surprisingly decent person given his environment in the books, and I love seeing his POV explored, especially concerning Peeta.

Thank you! And yes, Caesar is in an interesting position - he's showing kindness even as he's an integral part of a system that is murdering these kids.

And I really like the idea of an AU where Peeta is a talkshow host.

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

Thank you!
