    Summary

    “It’s your birthday, isn’t it?” Effie asks, mildly.

    “Lucky me,” Haymitch mutters back, turning his head to offer her his most award-winning grin. The roguish rascal he had turned into during his interview. Sharp teeth pulled back just barely short of a snarl.

    Effie seems unaffected, completely unbothered as she settles down across the table from him. She folds her hands over each other, resting them gently on the table. Her head tilts to the side, almost imperceivable, her eyes soft, just like the rest of her face. The look of sympathy she so often turns onto him is nothing new. Her eyes flit between his face, her mouth opening and closing for a handful of seconds as the time ticks away into nothingness, disappearing through both of their hands.

    “Save it,” Haymitch says, the first to speak. He twists his head back to the side, squeezing his eyes shut as the pounding headache he’s been nursing returns full force. “Don’t get a cake.”

    Effie makes a disapproving noise. “I’ll do you one better,” she says, and disappears from the corner of his eye like a ghost.

    Summary

    To a mock of luck, Haymitch Abernathy lived, beating the odds not in his favor and lost everything in the end. Now, he has to pay back the Capitol for his stunt, even when he had nothing left to give, as his soul was left being torn to shreds.
    Despite thinking that the worst days of his misery were far over, the Capitol never planned to let the Victors go.

    Before the 74th Hunger Games there were 23 more, and as he was rotting away in the smothering of alcohol and voices of the past mistakes, Haymitch Abernathy had to mentor 46 tributes all alone throughout his decaying life.

    And fail all of them.

    Summary

    “Here,” Haymitch says, but the gumdrop slips from his shaking fingers. They both laugh, but when he picks it back up, his smile falters. Huh. These aren’t the rainbow gumdrops he got for her. Instead, they're all just one color — red.

    “Now you’re home, I guess I can eat the others.” Lenore Dove tells him.

    "What others?"

    Summary

    Madge has always looked like her mother.

    When she was little, it meant being doted on and dressed like a doll, tucked in with kisses and stories, her shelves lined with toys and books, pockets full of candy.

    As she grows up, Madge still looks like her mother. Only now, her mother doesn't look at her.

    Summary

    Jackie Taylor died in 1996.

    She shouldn’t be here. Not now. Not in 2021.

    The world moved on without her. Her story ended in the snow, her name written into history as one of the lost. She was supposed to stay that way.

    Because the dead don’t come back.

    And yet—here she is.

    Summary

    Haymitch Abernathy and Effie Trinket have been inseparable best friends for twenty years, ever since a fire stripped Haymitch of everyone he ever loved and drove him from a small town in West Virginia to a quiet street in Denver.

    Summary

    This feeling that fogged up the room was exactly what Maysilee’s current look toward him signaled. Understanding.

    And that is enough for him to trust her.

    Summary

    It was like fate was tempting her, because the next afternoon, Maysilee spots Wyatt Callow outside of the café for the first time. All the while, Haymitch’s words can’t stop ringing through her head: You miss one-hundred percent of the shots you don’t take.

    Fortunately, he’s sitting alone in the library, his face in a book as he furiously scribbles notes. Maysilee can’t make out the subject, prays to god that he’s not a smelly Computer Science major, and realizes that she still can’t figure out a good way to approach him.

    Like, ‘Hello, we’ve never really spoken outside of your workplace, but I think you’re really pretty, and you should model for me.’ Who says that?

    [or, maysilee is a frustrated fashion major in need of a model, wyatt is a barista, and haymitch quotes wayne gretsky]

    Summary

    ‘Someone like you, just luckier’

     

    Wyatt Callow isn’t lucky. He’s realistic. An oddsmaker. A son of the Booker Boys. He’s good with numbers, and that’s pretty much all he’s got going for him. Which is how he knows, with pain-staking certainty, the moment his name gets pulled from that damn glass bowl, that he’s going to die. He’s done the math, run the percentages, and there’s no scenario where he walks out of this alive.

    He just didn’t factor the recklessness of Haymitch Abernathy into that equation. He probably should have, all things considered.

    .

    “Wait, so your big plan is to blow up the arena?” Wyatt repeats incredulously, and he can already feel his blood pressure rapidly rising.

    Haymitch has the audacity to grin. “Only the brain. We’re making a poster.”

    Whatever that means.

    Ever since she was very young, Lenore Dove has been slowly suffocating. Raised beneath the oppressive eye of her adoptive mother and trapped in an engagement to a self-absorbed aristocrat, she has been reduced to nothing more than a songbird in a gilded cage. But upon boarding the RMS Titanic for her maiden voyage, she finds a kindred spirit in a third-class passenger, Haymitch Abernathy, and the two of them find themselves inextricably drawn together.

    But when the ship collides with an iceberg in the North Atlantic, their budding romance is put to the test as their journey is twisted into a desperate race for survival.

    When you’re nearly immortal, you develop an eye for that kind of talent.
