Coping With Fears - Part 2

Johanna

- She is afraid of water (of course, I mean it's cannon, so ...)

- You help her to overcome her fear slowly but surely

- At first it is about taking showers again

- She follows your advice to start with her lower body first and try to achieve more with every shower to get used to it

- Then you two are taking walks in the rain together, holding your hand calms her down, although at the beginning your hand is bruised after your walks (not really relaxing for either of you)

- After the war you visit Annie from time to time to help her out with her son

- You actually get Johanna to approach the sea more and more every time, not leaving her side

- But it takes years for her until she finally starts swimming again

- It might sound a bit ridiculous but you are scared of bright lights

- Basically it reminds you of every cruel experience you have made at the Capitol

- The interviews before and after your Games and the torture later on, the bright light has accompanied you all the time and due to being close to Katniss and having knowledge on the rebellion your torture has been even worse than Johanna's

- So when you are triggered by bright light Johanna immediately shields you with her body to keep the light away

- Most of the time that is enough to calm you down again, but sometimes it is not

- Although Johanna hates it she helps you through your panic attacks and becomes excellent at it over time

- The fear unfortunately does not vanish, but you calm down quicker over the years

Katniss

- Honestly after everything you endured both of you have a lot of fears

- You never leave the other without telling where you are going

- Darkness reminds you of the mutations and Finnick's death, so that is kept away efficiently

- Loud noises that resemble explosions are especially bad reminding you of Katniss almost dying and her of Prim actually dying

- Surprises in general are despised

- Every little noise startles both of you

- You call your family every day to make sure they are fine as you accompanied Katniss to district 12 after the war

- Honestly it is hard to imagine the two of you outside of your safe bubble you created in the abandoned district 12

Cressida

- She does not have one specific fear, but is paranoid on bad days

- One wrong step and she feels like she is going to activate a pod

- People whispering remind her of the mutts

- Turning on light makes her fear that she might die

- Those days decrease over time, but sometimes she just gets easily startled and you are the only one able to soothe her

- You are afraid of grain fields (I know it sounds strange, but hear me out)

- The grain fields inside the arena have actually been essential for you to survive your Games

- As you are from district 9 you have grown up surrounded by the fields together with working inside the factories

- While others see the vast beauty when they look at a grain field you are on guard waiting for danger to pop out of it

- Luckily this does not bother you in your every day life at the Capitol
