When Haymitch Abernathy’s alcoholism makes the prime time news, Finnick Odair is sent to live in District Twelve to pick up the pieces.

And it might become impossible once that friend decides to move hell and high water to bring two of his tributes home at once, even if it should cost him his own life.

How do I even begin to explain this fic?

What I love most about it, on top of the exploration of two of my favorite Hunger Games characters, is how thoughtful and in character it is. I  love that this fic doesn’t shy away from complex, unsolvable issues, I love that Finnick and Haymitch manage to make something good for themselves, I love the worldbuilding, which is subtle and organic and really on point –especially where the vocabulary is concerned. I love Haymitch’s Seam swear words.

There’s nothing I don’t love about this fic.

It’s well written and it made me laugh, and cry, and it surprised me in such a beautiful way that I want it to become a fandom classic. A must read, absolutely <3
