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.

Peeta pauses, buried up to his wrists in dough and flour, and glances bemusedly at the fair haired companion at his side.
It helps that Prim looks almost nothing like her sister - it’s easier to be around her if his heart isn’t constantly throbbing with betrayal and bitterness. But they’ve got the same smile and sometimes seeing that makes him hurt in ways competitors in the Hunger Games only wish they could think up. She’s not smiling now though, just watching him with her all too serious blue eyes.
“What makes you say that, Prim?” he replies, pulling his hands free and wiping them on his apron. He’s not going to deny the truth; he just wants to know how obvious he’s making his loneliness these days.
Prim shrugs, fiddling with the strings of her own apron.
“You’re always baking,” she says matter-of-factly. “It’s your excuse to visit people all the time so they won’t feel bad about turning you away, isn’t it?”
“Maybe,” he says, “Or maybe it’s just easier to talk to people when they have full bellies.”
“Well, whatever the reason,” Prim says, some of the Everdeen sass sneaking into her voice, “You should know that you don’t need an excuse to come visit us. Mom and I like it when you stop by, with or without baked goods.”
She doesn’t say anything about Katniss. They both know how she feels about his visits to the Everdeen’s new, shiny home in the Victor’s Village... if she’s there, that is.
Peeta has a clearer idea why Prim’s been coming to watch him bake in recent weeks, even if learning the craft herself was her primary goal. At her core, Prim’s a healer and when there’s someone in need of fixing, she doesn’t hesitate to go after them. She sees something that needs mending inside of him, something that can’t be mended as easily as she thinks it can.
“Then I won’t bring anything next time I stop by,” Peeta teases with an easy smile. “Although it sure would be a pity to waste all those ginger snaps in the oven right now. I guess I’ll have to eat them by myself...”
Prim’s eyes go wide at the mention of cookies and she quickly says, “You're making ginger snaps and you didn’t tell me? Peeta, I thought you liked me!”
Peeta laughs and Prim’s lips curve into a small smile, and even if she’s not the Everdeen girl he wants at his side, he’s grateful for her presence all the same.

Oh my god this is so deliciously precious!

Oh, Peeta!
This is exactly what I wanted to read. Fantastic job.

great ending to a great story. I Really mean it. Your story was well written and just perfect, not to mention it was filled with great little lines. like..
" At her core, Prim’s a healer and when there’s someone in need of fixing, she doesn’t hesitate to go after them"
the tidbit about the cookies and the fore-mentioned lines.
