Laced by the Noose (A Finnick Odair x Reader Fanfiction)

A Finnick Odair x Reader Fanfiction ---

When Annie Cresta's name is called, y/n steps forward.
Not to win. Not to survive.

Just to spare someone else the pain.
She enters the arena already laced with grief, already tied to a fate she doesn't intend to escape.
But the Capitol doesn't let you die quietly.
It makes survival a spectacle-and a sentence.

Finnick Odair sees her unraveling.
He's lived it.
And in her, he finds a mirror of his own brokenness.
Together, they learn that sometimes the noose doesn't tighten-it binds.
And sometimes, love is the only thing strong enough to hold you together when everything else is falling apart.
