    Summary

    “Do you know,” Lyonel said at last, studying her, “you stand as if the gods might take notes? Straight spine. Careful hands. As though the Seven will peer down and say yes, that one is behaving correctly.”

    The princess did not answer. Lord Baratheon noticed quite early that his lady wife was not much of a conversationalist. Not much of a dancer nor a drinker, either. Her eyes only flicked to him – cool and watchful.

    It made Lyonel smirk. “Maekar’s work”, he added lightly. Hammer it in early and it never cracks. Gods forbid she bends. Bending is how things break.

    She lifted her chin a fraction. Not defiance. Barely curiosity.

    He drank again, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand before stepping closer. “You don’t look when I expect it. You don’t laugh when I expect it. You don’t even speak when I expect it,” he said, almost accusing. “That is dangerous. Makes a man try harder.”

    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.

    Everything changes when they are mysteriously pulled into another reality. A world where Haymitch’s family never died and Lenore Dove is his loving wife.

    {When fate hands you everything you thought was gone forever, how do you decide what -or who- you’re willing to leave behind?}

    Summary

    He used to be the only person who could make her blood boil with a single remark, and she was the only one who could make him roll his eyes so hard they once got stuck — she’d had to smack the back of his head a few times to get them to return to their usual glaring.

    They were alive and loud. And now? Now they were boring.

    After all, the Capitol wouldn’t waste precious resources torturing their own, would they? Effie Trinket had nothing to do with any of his plans.

    He should have known better. Didn’t he know what they’d done to Cinna?
