Fell in Love with the Fire Long Ago: “Isn’t fall just the best time of year?” Madge says, looking up at the changing leaves on the trees as we walk into town. I’m not sure if it’s the type of question that warrants an answer, but I still give her a small smile in return.
(Re)liability: Rebirth. Restructure. Restore. Relearn. Rejoice. // Those are the Five Rs, the pillars of New Panem. President Paylor and her cabinet wasted no time sharing their plans for the country. Rebirth as a new nation.
Please Stay: Katniss. // Her name rang through his head, managing to break through the aggressive clicks from the beetles they were fighting.
Double Date: “What can I say? College football days should always be the best days of a man’s life. Now your best days can be listening to me talk about them.”
Muscle Memory: Baking came easily. // Dr. Aurelius ensured that Peeta’s kitchen was stocked for his return to Twelve.
Glances: His father points her out to him, an introduction paired with a story of a love once lost.
BONUS unreleased WIPs lines:
(all of these titles are what i refer to them as but not the real titles because i can’t name things until they’re done)
Your Apartment: “Dude! Are you almost ready or what?” Finnick yelled up the stairs of their shared house.
Meet Cutes: My best friend is a fool. She is kind and caring and smart and gentle and strong and brave, but she is a fool nonetheless.
Headphones: My name is Katniss Everdeen. I am seventeen years old. I should be dead. Why am I not dead?
Thank You: The boy and the girl. The girl and the boy. For a childless adult, Haymitch’s thoughts have been all too consumed with thoughts of the two teens he was assigned to mentor a little over a year ago.
