The people of Panem-the ones in the districts-know better than to think about death. Luck is a rare commodity, and tempting fate is an invitation to horrors that'll haunt you long after the Capitol forgets your name. Most kids, twelve to eighteen, already carry enough fear in their bones to fill the arena twice over. And now, with the 75th Hunger Games-the Quarter Quell-coming, their imaginations run wild with all the ways they might die. I thought I wouldn't leave that arena alive. Luck barely exists, and the odds? They've never been kind to me. And yet... I survived. Somehow. By the thinnest thread imaginable. This time, I doubt the odds will smile. Maybe I won't make it. And if I don't... I'll make sure they remember me. I'll go down screaming, thrashing, giving the Capitol exactly the spectacle they crave. Let them watch. Let them cheer. If I'm dying, it won't be quietly.

"District 4," Haymitch says, swirling his drink. "That's the one you'll need to keep an eye on." "Finnick Odair, right?" Peeta asks. Haymitch nods. "Yep. Won his Games at fourteen. Youngest victor ever. Extremely humble." Katniss raises an eyebrow. "You're kidding." "Yes," Haymitch says flatly. "I'm kidding. He's a peacock. Total preener. But the Capitol eats it up. Charming, smart, lethal in the arena-especially in water. He knows how to play them." "Any weaknesses?" Katniss asks. Haymitch hesitates, then sighs. "One. Eliza." "Eliza Ricci?" Peeta frowns. "Snow's victor?" "That's the one. Strong. Arrogant. Beautiful in that terrifying way. The Capitol worships her-half want to be her, the other half want to belong to her. Lived in the President's mansion for years. Been his weapon, his shadow, his warning shot." Katniss glances at Peeta. "And she's close to Finnick?" "Has a kind of love for him," Haymitch says. "The only person I've ever seen make her laugh. She's dangerous on her own-put them together, and you've got a storm you don't want to be in the middle of." Katniss leans back, thoughtful. "So what's the good news?" "Eliza seems to like you," Haymitch says, glancing her way. "Or at least she respects you." "And the bad?" Peeta asks. Haymitch smirks grimly. "She might want you dead." ~Extended summary inside~ Trigger Warning: Contains blood, gore, and violence Achievements: #1 in peacekeepers #1 in Panem #1 in lucygraybaird #1 in covey #1 in thecovey #1 in finnickodair #1 in thehungergames #2 in lenoredove #2 in thg #2 in lucygray #2 in mockingjay #3 in finnickxoc #3 in songbird

• pre-hunger games -> post-mockingjay pt 2 • Finnick Odair X female OC •I edit as I post the chapters (if I can be bothered) A story in which two victors find peace with each other, fitting together like puzzle pieces. As the world burns around them, they will always find their way back to each other.

"Now, if you want to even survive a millisecond in that arena, you need to pay attention," Haymitch Abernathy mutters. He jerks his chin toward a girl near the weapon racks. "Ivory Rose. District 4. Victor of the Sixty-Eighth Hunger Games." Katniss expects someone loud. Another Career. Another arrogant victor draped in Capitol beauty. Instead, Ivy Rose stands perfectly still. Dark green fabric wraps around her arms like vines, and there's something unsettling about the calm expression on her face. Not cold exactly. Controlled. "Capitol called her the Thorned Rose," Haymitch says. "Mostly because they needed something pretty to distract people from what she actually did in that arena." Peeta glances over. "Which was?" Haymitch lets out a dry laugh. "She poisoned half her competition before the bloodbath even ended." - (Finnick Odair x OC) Enemies to lovers
