Author: fernwithy
Rating: R
Characters/Pairings: Haymitch Abernathy, Multiple Characters, OCs, Gen
Fandom: Hunger Games
Summary: The story of Haymitch's Games, told in five parts. Individual summaries under the cut.
The End of the World
Sixteen-year-old Haymitch Abernathy has plenty to worry about - a sick mother, a decrepit house, an empty larder. The last thing he's worried about is the Capitol's choice to double the number of Games tributes in a Quell year…
The Rites of Fall
Dannel Mellark sees his friend Haymitch through the aftermath of the Quarter Quell, and the surge of fury in District Twelve that follows it... but he doesn't see a big part of of his own life starting to slip away. (First section connects to the final chapter of "The End of the World.")
The Hanging Tree
Haymitch's life continues to deteriorate between the Victory Tour and his first Games as mentor.
These Are The Names
Effie Trinket becomes the District 12 escort, and works with Haymitch through fourteen years before his last tributes come along.
The Last Tribute
Twenty-four years after winning his Games, Haymitch Abernathy is deeply embroiled in the rebellion, his relationship with Effie Trinket has deteriorated badly, and he has lost whatever marginal control he had over alcohol. When Katniss Everdeen volunteers for District Twelve, he realizes that he needs to straighten out, because he might just have a victor on his hands.
Why you should read this …
fernwithy's series expands the original canon world beautifully, creating a detailed and multi-faceted backstory that fleshes out the Hunger Games universe. The setting of Panem truly comes to life through her subtle narrative. The series creates scenes and theories behind one-off mentions in the books and weaves them in so expertly that it becomes hard to believe this story isn't the actual backstory to THG.
