meme time

[trovia]

Well. I'm home from America. Which means my inner clock and I are having a little disagreement. It's ten in the morning. My brain is informing me that it should be the middle of the night instead.

Need to stay awake through the day, though, or I'll be fucked at work tomorrow.

Give me a scene from a fic that I wrote, and I'll meta?(also

Chapter 18: the scene where Finnick and Haymitch have sex and then talk, whereupon Haymitch suddenly gives Finnick a whole lot of information he wasn't expecting. There's a lot there, so feel free to talk about whatever you want. I am definitely curious as to why Haymitch was able to finally talk about stuff, and what he wanted or expected from Finnick when he told him about the escort. I also wanted to point out something that jumped out at me when I read it and I don't think anyone else commented on:

He paused for a moment, staring into space. “So she takes me to her room, tells me to do her hard, and I hit her. Don’t know why. Just hit her, can’t think of what else to do with that order, except it wasn’t an order, of course, she can’t give me any orders, not like this. She gets scared, but tells me to do it again, like she was being brave or something and like she thought this was, I don’t know, the celebrity kink thing of the season. So I fuck her, bent over her desk, and I just leave her there, after. His use of the word "order

There's a very short answer (and a very complex one of course, because I'm me :D) to why Haymitch was finally able to talk about the escort, and that's simply that a long enough time had passed and enough trust had been built. I myself keep being fascinated by how trust is this thing that just builds. You can't rush it. If you know a person long enough and you keep taking tiny steps and nothing goes wrong, suddenly, one day, it's okay to talk about new things. (I keep marveling at that with my therapist, currently. Why am I suddenly considering telling her things that I wouldn't have said a year ago? I knew that nothing bad would happen if I did a year ago, too

I don't know how you manage to toss off such long comments while you are doing so many other things. And English isn't even your first language! Are you some kind of cyborg? ;) Anyway, I hope you'll forgive my time lag. I finally have a few minutes and enough energy to actually write something, so I thought I'd make a start. I'm starting with the meta because I really appreciate that you still post this stuff to LJ sometimes. I have actually set up a tumblr page, but I'm not ready to take the plunge and use it. You are the person I am most interested in talking to anyway, and that seems to defeat the whole purpose of the medium. I do want to take the time to mention that I loved your meta on Haymitch/Effie, and I agreed 100%. Whenever I see descriptions of fic involving that pairing I want to run away because it's always such fluff. This may be the youngest fandom I have ever read fic in, judging from the quality of the stuff posted -- there is so much fluffy romance for every pairing, and I feel that most people are completely

If I was a cyborg, my first language would be C++! :D

Here's another one: Chapter 14 (AKA the part where Finnick gets to be happy for five minutes :)), the final scene where Finnick and Haymitch have sex for the first time. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever read, I just wanted to have you talk about something happy re: these two. Anything you want: what was going through your mind as you set it up, what you felt the most significant parts were, the headspace the characters were in, whatever.

I'm glad you had a good trip, BTW. I hope the jet lag doesn't kill you dead.

I'm gonna start with this one, because you just made me reread chapters 12 - 14 - kiss to sex. I've always been unsure about the kissing scene in the lake, but looking back with some distance, I'm starting to make out the bits that make it work.

It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever readOh wow, thank you

I'm gonna go on some because I know you probably won't mind
