    Summary

    Good evening. This is President Paylor,” the figure on the screen announces, and Effie feels anxiety prickle across her skin at the formality of the woman’s voice. Hardwired to worry about the worst, her shoulders tense, and it is only Katniss’s hand on hers, loosening her fingers from where they had begun to gouge into her palm, that forces her to relax. “Tonight, I bring a formal announce on a decision the council and I have made, for the better of the entirety of Panem. To strength us as a nation.

    “I don’t like the sound of that,” Katniss frowns, and her grip on Effie’s hand tightens.

    It did not matter how many years had passed since the Games- always, their first instinct was to presume the worst.

    Summary

    When Effie opened her mouth, what she ended up asking was one of those types of questions Haymitch couldn't ever prepare yourself for.
    Not in a million years' time.
    Maybe not ever.
    And it was probably the one question he thought would never come from Effie trinket.
    “Where are my children?”

    Effie Trinket has children.

    Effie Is a mother.

    And he never knew, she never told him.

    She knows everything about his family, not that there is much to know about - not after he won the games he was supposed to die in, and by defying Snow's request - brought death upon them.
    He didn’t even know she had a partner, let alone a family of her own.

    I’m her family, and she is mine.

    The urgency of that thought alarmed him so much that he could feel his hands shaking more than they should have now that he was sober. He couldn’t think like that – everything he touched turn into ashes – except Effie.

    And you had to risk it, didn’t you?

    Summary

    “So you are drinking again.” Katniss stated flatly.

    His silence acted as confirmation enough.

    “Is this because of what happened to Effie?” she pushed.

    Still he had nothing to say. He hoped the subject would be dropped if he just kept on walking and refused to acknowledge her.

    “If she were here, she would be disappointed to know–”

    He stopped dead in his tracks, unable to hold his tongue any longer.

    “Well that’s the goddamn point! She’s not here!” he shouted.

    His hands clenched into fists so tight he was sure blood had been drawn.

    “She should be nagging me to clean the house, or to paint the bedroom her favorite shade of purple, or make room in my closet for all of her ridiculous outfits!”

    He looked up for a moment at the clouds overhead, still grey, still threatening to pour down upon them at any moment without mercy.

    “It’s supposed to be her job to go out in the rain and talk about boy problems. She should be here. She should have survived, not me! But just like every woman I ever..."

    He hesitated.

    "Like every woman I ever loved, she had to go and die. So yeah I reached for the bottle again… I let everyone down… again.."

    Summary

    What if Penelope reacted differently when Colin accused her of trapping him?

    Penelope ran away from the Ton, giving Colin what she thought he desperately wanted: his freedom. She loves him too much to allow him to be trapped in a loveless marriage with her.
    Colin never expected to lose Penelope; his anger towards her pushed her to leave him, promising he would never have to see her again.

    Thanks to the money she made as Lady Whisteldown, she fled to Greece, passing as a young widow named Anne Bridges. She is set to be a single mother and raise her child away from a society that never cared for her and from a father who would think the child is only a product of her "plan entrapment".

    Thanks to the help of his brothers, Colin will do even the impossible to get his Pen back.
