@ctdestiny thank you for replying!! and I can totally see how you got that impression.
I agree that my fic is a bit tropey and there
are definitely some weak chapters in part 2. I think the weakest part is in the beginning of part 2 (if you remember lol) is where Edith doesn't realise that the rumours finnick is spreading is to save her from desirable work. At that point she's still learning how to trust her own judgement with her grief of the Games, but I don't think I brought enough focus to that for it to be believeable. And as for Finnick in that situation, I wrote it so that he didn't want to reveal that to her for her own safety, but idk how well that came across either. In part 2 before they get together they're both still learning to trust one another, and I think that isn't as believable because finnick already tells her about what snow puts him through the night before her games. (And my justification for that is explained with Edith not really trusting her own memory from the time around the games, and the situation earlier described strains their friendship - which once again lol I should've focused more on and will adjust in the edit.)
anyway this was a long rant lol, but I'm so grateful that you actually replied back with what you think. I appreciate it so much!!
if you keep reading let me know what you think, but I'd say you might not like the rest based on your current opinions :')
I tried to write finnick as a version of himself from 5 years before he appears in catching fire, but the best and worst part of fanfics is that people have different interpretations of canon characters and it really just depends on how it comes across in writing and I probably could've done it better.
Anyway thanks again for the feedback ♡♡
