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/Katniss, we are basic lies

it is, after all, nothing new. he loves her. she does not love him.

it's how half the stories go. (the ones with the tragic endings, or the ones where he is a secondary character.)

she says, i love you.

he says, i can live without you.

lately, all they can do is lie to each other.

sometimes he thinks of himself as a creature of habit, wonders if he is running on that; if that is the only reason he has not listened to his better angels and let go. he sometimes thinks he is a badly-fired clay shape, with one phrase echoing around his head to define him, i love katniss everdeen.

the thing is: they fit together, too well. they can finish each other's movements if not sentences; he knows when she is feinting, when she is shooting. he knows when to duck.

this is how he feels the faintest flinch as he is kissing her.

this is how she feels him tighten his grip, before he lets go.

both of them are running on this: things they do not say, things both of know. truths that stick in both of their chests.

he wonders if one of these days he will be brave, if he will say, everything i do is because i love you. he wonders if she will say, you and i do not fit together.

somehow, he doesn't think so. he has gotten much better at lying, since he started to understand her.

DSBFHBDSGHREG THIS IS SO GREAT, BB.

Because I am a sook (to the max, seriously), I was tearing up by the end. It was so true and full of little observations that, if the fic wasn't already made by the raw emotion, would have done just so.

(Also, I love Peeta's lie in the first part. And him being a badly-fired clay shape, and what he wonders Katniss might say. HBDSFHDBSGF IT'S JUST ALL AMAZING.)
