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.

"Go on," Johanna said grimly. "Tell me more."
"I ran into two of his minions, the big muscle-y one and the blonde girl. Cato and… Clover? I don't think they even knew I was there- they just wanted to hunt."
"Clove." Rue had knelt beside the couch, and her voice was barely audible; Johanna could smell her fear, like rotting apples. An embarrassing surge of quasi-maternal pity overtook her. She bent down to scoop up the younger vampire, setting her on her lap.
"We're just exiting the building when I see Katniss go down with a knife in her forehead. Prim screams, and Cato steps from the darkness, picking her up by the back of her shirt. 'Wonderful,' he says, chuckling. 'A midnight snack.' He starts drinking, and I can tell he's going to drain her dry, because she loses consciousness after barely a second.
'Prim!' Katniss screams, and launches herself at him- but Clove's faster, and leaps at Katniss, knocking her to the ground. I charge Cato, he drops Prim, and we fight for a few seconds- that's how I got this." He indicated the scratch on his leg, which was already beginning to heal. "Cato's got me in a headlock, but suddenly an enormous shadowy figure swoops from the shadows.
'Cato!' Clove screeches, flailing against an unseen hand. 'Help me-' and then she's gone.
With a cry of rage, Cato runs after her. I drag myself to my feet and hurry towards Katniss. She's covered in blood- it's all I can do not to lap it up- and her heartbeat is so faint, I can barely hear it. Her sister's isn't much better. I can tell that neither of them have more than a few minutes left to live. So… I decide to do what I can."
Johanna looked at the dark- haired figure sprawled in an armchair. Even as the vampire poison oozed through her veins, she was silent, her arms locked around the whimpering Primrose in a protective hold.
"I just hope I don't get you in trouble," Peeta said. "I mean, Coin isn't going to be happy about this."
"Happy? When is she ever?" Johanna deadpanned, faking nonchalance, and felt Rue giggle, albeit with another waft of rotting apples accompanying it. The leader of the rogue vampires could be notoriously strict.
Coin or no Coin, though, Johanna couldn't help wondering how this was going to play out.
Because Peeta Mellark was hopelessly in love with Katniss Everdeen.
And when Katniss woke up, she was going to be pissed.

The second chapter should probably be up by the end of the week- it's basically gratuitous Cato/Clove before returning to the main plot. ^__^
