War is Canceled AU
TWHHA - D13
- Canon Diverges after the QQ rescue (before Peeta’s interview with Caesar maybe? (Definitely before the hijacking) But with enough time that Katniss and Finnick can physically recover a little bit)
- Coin and Snow (and his cabinet)
listen, I haven’t read TBOSAS so idk how the government in Panem works, but all the political bad guys are dead, okay?are assassinated simultaneously - All of Panem is in mass confusion - Peacekeepers flee the Districts and the Districts cut off access and resources to the Capital. The Capital is in chaos - no leader, no power, no water, no food.
- Katniss and Finnick are in the hospital wing together and realize they need to go save Peeta, Annie, and Jo. They escape the hospital in the shuffle and find and free Haymitch. Gale gets wind of the plan and joins (because he’s resigned himself to Katniss’s feeling for Peeta after the beach kiss and is here to be a good BFF in this fic)
- They find Boggs in the hovercraft hanger. Katniss and Finnick plead with him to let them go to the Capital to rescue their loved ones while Haymitch heckles them over what a dumb plan this is, until Gale shows up with a gun in an attempt to ‘muscle’ Boggs into compliance.
- Boggs looks between the four of them (Finnick and Katniss are still in hospital gowns), then looks to the sky, closing his eyes and shaking his head before relenting, *seemingly allowing himself to be their hostage and commandeering a hovercraft. (*In actuality Boggs sees the merit in their mission and realizes that these 4 are
emotionally childrenuntrained civilians who are desperately in need ofadult supervisiontactical assistance.)
Meanwhile in the Capital….
Also adding in:
- Cressida is with Gale when Finnick and Katniss run into him in their initial dash. Cressida convinces them to let her and her crew tag along: as former Capitol citizens they can help navigate the city.
