they were only children
fandom: the hunger games
pairing: glimmer/cashmere, glimmer/cato
warnings: mention of blood, violence

Death was natural in the Districts. It was something that would happen one way or another. Life could only be prolonged so far. It was natural and guaranteed, and they were weapons. They died young, but only after bringing death

This is wonderful. I love the Glimmer/Cashmere dynamic, and all of their personalities beyond the face. And the last two lines especially are so very perfect. Because it's so accurate, and it just encapsulates why they are the way they are... and that they aren't machines, they're human, and humans can't deal with everything these kids are thrown into. Humans break. And yes, love.
