    Summary

    My uncle is the only living Victor in the District; as such, he is one of the few who never goes hungry. But, as I think about the mandatory Game to watch, I'm not envious of him. The Hunger Games is always bloody and horrific.
    But even though Haymitch would have plenty to give, my father never asked him for anything. Which Gale knows very well.
    'His brother' I correct Gale darkly. Whatever the conflict between my father and my uncle, my Dad considers him a full-fledged brother, even though their father is not shared. Which, again, Gale knows very well.

    Or, its a different universe, and Katniss's dad is alive. It helps some things, and some things are...dark as ever.

    Summary

    After becoming District 12's escort at the age of twenty-two, Effie Trinket is forced to work alongside Haymitch Abernathy, the embittered sole survivor of the Second Quarter Quell. Both fractured by hidden traumas, their resentment of each other becomes complicated by their mutual longing for human connection.

    Content: Most pivotal to this story is the theme of trauma. One significant plot point is Effie's backstory as a victim of childhood sexual abuse. This will never be shown graphically - however, allusions will be made to the nature of her abuse & how it continually affects her as an adult. There will be canon-typical violence, substance abuse, disordered eating, self harm, & dystopian atrocities. There will also be sexual content.

    I also post about this fic on my Tumblr (incubationformadness).

    “Peeta Mellark.” The name echoes around the silent town square.
    Well, that’s my death sentence signed, Haymitch thinks.

    Peeta is reaped for the Quarter Quell, Haymitch volunteers.

    Summary

    When they'd told Haymitch they were going to make his daughter, who was fighting for her life in the Hunger Games, the face of the rebellion, he'd laughed in their faces. "My Katniss? She's twelve."

    To that, Plutarch had replied with a grin, "Exactly."
    -
    OR:An AU where Haymitch is Katniss's biological father. It changes nothing. (It changes a lot).

    -

    Slowburn longfic with an emphasis on anti-fascist allegory. Will delve into themes of how a fascist government operates. Each chapter has warnings describing the contents.
