Summary
“Yes, Haymitch please do keep up, I’m showing them how to flirt properly.”
Haymitch mutters something under his breath that Katniss finds unintelligible. Effie must hear him clearly though because she steps on his foot with a precision that Katniss knows can not possibly be a mistake.
or, our star crossed lovers get a lesson from Effie as they set out on their Victory Tour

Effie Trinket likes him.
And Haymitch Abernathy has never, in his life, been less prepared for anything.
━━━━━━━━━★
Set during the 75th Quarter Quell and later in Thirteen, a story about love confessions, bad timings, comfort in times of war, and Haymitch Abernathy realising that he can love again.
All it takes is a loud ━ but kind━ woman who stays, and a little help from his first love's ghost.

Summary
"A good thing,” Haymitch repeated hollowly, wishing he’d choked on his vomit back in his cell. A shaking hand lifted to the screen, as if to caress the bloodied face of Effie Trinket staring back at him.
In District Thirteen, Haymitch burns. In the Capitol, Effie endures. Fate has a different plan, though it is rarely kind to star-crossed lovers.
Note: rating has gone up to E as of chapter 5!!!

Death And The Maiden by incubationformadness

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).

Summary
As Effie prepares to start training to be games escort, she crosses paths with none other than Haymitch Abernathy. They might be opposites, but they have common interests, books being one, and a need to retreat from parties another. Despite their reservations about getting to know one another, fate has other ideas, pushing them together by making Effie the escort for District Twelve.
But Effie isn't stupid and she isn't naive, she knows what it will take to be the escort that the district needs. So, she offers Haymitch a deal. She will play the role of the perfect escort if he can keep himself just sober enough to train their tributes. He reluctantly agrees, not because he thinks it will work, but because Effie asked him. And for some reason he cannot understand, he tends to do as she asks.
-----
A look at the years in between, seeing two people that shouldn't get along become dependant on one another through the darkest of times. Years of games together. Losing tributes. A Quarter Quell. A War. Maybe one day they'll find the peace they were both searching for that first day they met in the gardens.
Inspired by the album 'The Tortured Poet's Department', I'm attempting to write a chapter per song.

Summary

Summary
Effie remembers sleep deprivation to feel partly like this, like how it’s getting harder and harder for her to sleep. Once upon a time, she would have reached for the bottle of sleeping pills in her bedside drawer. She would have swallowed one and waited for a few minutes for the effect to finally hit her. Once upon a time, she would have taken those pills as if they were water.
But it’s a different time now, and a lot of things have changed. Like the fact that Haymitch Abernathy was sleeping so soundly beside her without the excuse for sex. Sex was, afterall, the very foundation of this thing between them. Effie tried to remember when they had become too comfortable with this set up, when it was definitely okay for one of them to be sneaking up on their bed unannounced, to be entering their room as if they were lovers – which they certainly were not.

How that man had ever gotten elected to anything, never mind the highest position in the country, was beyond Effie Trinket. Haymitch Abernathy was a lot things – amongst them, she was forced to grant, a brilliant mind – but a public personality, he was not.

If you had told Plutarch Heavensbee that a mere escort from District 12 would be a key factor in the rebellion succeeding, he would have laughed.

Summary
“I don’t believe you,” she said again, wishing she had more to throw at him. “You cannot speak to people that way! He was - he was a sponsor! His money kept our tribute from dying of dehydra-”
“Boy’s dead now,” Haymitch broke in as he sifted through the bottles on the drink cart. “Turns out water purification tablets aren’t much protection against having your throat slit.”
“That’s no excuse for you to go around burning all our bridges!” Effie countered shrilly. “Honestly, Haymitch, I don’t even know what to say to you!”
He sighed. “And yet, somehow, your mouth is still moving.”
Haymitch and Effie deal with their feelings the only way they know how.

Summary
The ring that dangles from the thin chain around Effie’s neck catches the light as she moves, and Haymitch’s matching one is cool against his chest. Eight years. Eight years since the private toasting they’d shared at his hearth, Briony Everdeen and her husband as their witnesses. Eight years since Effie had agreed to be his wife, despite the potential consequences.
or simply put, the 'Haymitch and Effie have been married The Whole Time' AU.
