In this block of cells at the Capitol, Annie screamed for Finnick and Peeta screamed for Katniss and Johanna had no one to scream for.

Ugh, this whole thing was just devastating, wasn't it? (I'm finding that keeps being the case for THG fic, and yet I won't stop reading it. Especially not when it's as good as this.)

Loved this take on two broken people coming together, in a much different way than we saw with our main protagonists in canon. I love that they don't forget Annie, either (and how could they?), but that it doesn't hang over every aspect of the two of them, and their own history together. Thanks for sharing it!

I really love the idea of this alternative scenario, and the voice you've given Johanna is so perfect.

This was painfully beautiful. I'm going to go sob quietly in a corner now.

(I loved this paragraph: When she kisses him this time, he tastes like the sugar cubes in his tea and something bigger, something different. Like promise. Well, the whole thing, really, but especially that.)

I love this so much- it's beautiful and heartbreaking and the characterization of Finnick and Johanna is so, so perfect. <3

Bittersweet but comfortable at the same time. I love it <3 But it's a kinda pity to me they don't have children.
