    Summary

    "I’ll be by your side, always.”

    “Always?”

    “Always.”

    ===

    Fourteen-year-old Finnick Odair always imagined the Games as something far off—distant, inevitable, but not yet real. Then one ordinary day, he meets Annie Cresta. Suddenly, everything shifts. As Finnick grapples with feelings he's never faced before, the world around him lurches toward chaos. What happens when first love collides with the weight of everything to come?

    Events prior to Finnick's Games, but prior to the 74th Games.

    Summary

    His eyes are what they all say they are. Deep sea green with flecks of gold and notes of bronze like sunken treasure. The kind of eyes people write songs about.

    I shake it off.

    “You know what?” I stop and stand before him. “I don’t need you. In fact, I’m better off without you. So go ahead and sleep with whoever the fuck you want and forget about your mentoring responsibilities this year. If you’re not going to help, then I want nothing to do with you.”

    He flinches and something twists in his expression—hurt, maybe. But I don’t stop.

    “You’re not a hero, Odair. You’re just a coward with a pretty face and a lot of fans. And when he dies, that’ll be on you.”

    I don’t wait for a response.

    I turn on my heel and storm out, ignoring the burn in my chest and the image I can’t unsee—Finnick, still sitting there, silent and stunned, looking like I just gutted him.

    Summary

    My imagining of if Annie Cresta got her own prequel like Sunrise.

    Nobody likes a mad woman. And certainly, nobody could ever love one.
    When the reaping begins for the Seventieth Hunger Games, Annie Cresta volunteers. She's trained for this her whole life. She made the decision herself. It should be easy.
    But as the arena draws closer, Annie finds herself caught in a net. It's not just her reasons for volunteering threatening to unravel, but the impossible feelings growing for her mentor, Finnick Odair. Once, he called her a mermaid. Now he wants her to become one, at least in the eyes of the Capitol.
    Yet nothing can prepare her for what it means to watch children die up close, or what it takes to survive them. As Annie's grip on reality begins to fracture under the weight of Capitol spectacle, torture, and a rebellion that may or may not exist, she finds solace in the one person who will tell her what's real.
    Even if he's drowning in secrets of his own.

     

    - a slow-burn pre-canon Annie x Finnick prequel. Canon-compliant but inspired by ABOSAS and SOTR, things are open for different interpretation and explained by unreliable narration and Capitol propaganda in the trilogy.
