katniss/haymitch, implied katniss/peeta | to sleep, perchance to dream | part 1/2 | rating: t, maybe light light r
.
& this is how it starts
.
Tonight's the kind of night where she feels like crying the world a new lake. She really isn't one to waste tears but, see, her sister - dead. Her best friend - gone. Her lover - not real, not real, not even really here.
Morning is creeping closer and closer and the half moons underneath her eyes finally burn into her skin, intending to stay forever. The cold, ash-dirtied air is driving through her hair like icy fingers. And no, no, she can't stand the maddening silence of the twilight hour.
A sudden “hey you, fleeing from your little baker?” echoes across the blank street where the empty houses of victors are lined up like pale pale pearls on a necklace. A ditzy grin splashing Haymitch's features lazily follows. Drunk again. But this is what she's used to. Haymitch. Haymitch is familiar, never changed

& this is how he makes her forget

Three nights later, half eleven, she takes the steps to his house again, two at a time, even though she feels like death itself. She doesn't bother with closed doors or knocking. She's so full of shit, she doesn't really know what she's doing any more at all. But it's not like she's in love with him now. (This is no romantic tale of love and loss.) It's just a solution like any other to not go mad after all

Words cannot even describe how excited I am that someone filled this prompt. And this just so far exceeded my hopes! This is beautiful and desperate and so very them. Like this line
“Don't make me tell you twice.”
So very Katniss. Thank you SO much for writing this! :D
you're too nice :)) and i should thank you for posting this prompt. i never even heard of this pairing before, and i now feel a slight obsession with haymitch & katniss.
This fill is so perfect, even with me wincing over my poor Peeta (I am unhealthily attached to him). It has just enough bite to it to make it real for me. I am literally skimming over it again because your wording is so pretty! It's vague and has this soft sort of quality that I just love so much in writing. Lovely, lovely, lovely!
This was basically insane, flawless perfection and I'm kind of in awe. Your style is freaking brilliant, the wording and imagery and flow and the dynamic of them and the characterization and voice and and and
My favorite prompt-fill of this whole thing far. Holy cow, just SO good and unexpected and desperate and (REREADING FOREVER). <33333333
