    Summary

    “Haymitch,” greets Katniss as he approaches them, sparing an amused glance to the boy slumped next to her, buttering bread. “Up early for a change?”

    “Yeah, well. Didn’t want to miss the sunrise now did I, sweetheart?” he replies, a rare smile playing on his line-etched face.

    Or: a snippet of Haymitch's life as he learns how to breathe again.

    Summary

    "The page begins with the person's picture. A photo if we can find it. If not, a sketch or painting by Peeta. Then, in my most careful handwriting, come all the details it would be a crime to forget.

    Haymitch finally joins us, contributing twenty-three years of tributes he was forced to mentor."

     

    A look at the tributes from District 12 in the years after Haymitch won the 50th Hunger Games, and his own journey from victor to mentor to rebel.

    *Note: Canon-compliant with the original trilogy + Ballad, but not Sunrise on the Reaping as the first drafts of this are years old*

    Summary

    Haymitch felt confident that this was another punishment dictated by Snow. How many names in that bowl were Burdock’s? Was it all of them? He felt an overwhelming urge to find out. It would be easy. All he had to do was knock the bowl on the ground and watch it break into a million pieces, the Capitol’s regime shattering with it as everyone realized that there were no odds to be in favor of. The outcome of the Games was manipulated from the start.

    or

    When Haymitch first wakes up on the day of the reaping, his only goal is to make it through his first year as a mentor without falling apart. After his former best friend is selected to be that year's male tribute, however, his goal becomes to stop the 51st Hunger Games before they even begin.

    Summary

    *SOTR spoilers*

    the world sharpens painfully into clarity when he sees the hollowness of her cheeks, the taught skin over her wrists, and Burdocks hunting jacket pulled tight over her body. Her eyes have that hollow, glassy look starving seam kids get that tells him she's close to death. He knows it's not cold outside, a stark contrast to a couple days ago, the very last of the winter winds blowing softly through the trees. She shouldn't be cold.

    --
    or: how Haymitch finds out his best friend is dead.

    Summary

    "Because, maybe then it’ll stop,” he says, quietly. Katniss pauses, her fingers lingering on the bowstring.

    “What’ll stop?” She asks. Her voice is a rasp. Broken.

    “This thing inside me that wants to die.” He doesn’t look at her. She doesn’t look away from him. He stares at Thirteen’s gray walls. Listens to the unending song in his head.

    Katniss ties the bowstring. She plucks the taut string. The sound echoes between the walls.

    Summary

    Frodo froze. His face paled, lighthearted words disappearing in an instant. Sam spun around, hand reaching for a phantom hilt of a sword left far away in the armoury. For a moment, he didn’t see anything. Maybe Frodo was having one of his episodes again, though he couldn’t begin to fathom what could have caused it. Then he spotted it.

    A spider. Not gigantic, but… Big. Its spindly legs stretched out, poised to run but frozen in place. Sam felt his own breath hitch.

    “Sam.” Frodo’s voice was almost a whisper.

    “Yes, Mister Frodo,” Sam replied softly, his own voice shaking slightly.

    “There appears to be a situation.”

    “Yes, Mister Frodo.”

    “What do we do?”

     

    or: in the hour before Aragorn's coronation, Sam and Frodo find themselves trapped in Frodo's bedroom. the enemy blocking their exit? a slightly larger than average house spider. and their trauma too, they suppose.

    Summary

    The house hates him. The house is the only thing that’s capable of loving him. It won’t ever let him go. Haymitch doesn’t want to. There’s nothing Haymitch wants more than to run and never stop. He doesn’t even want to look over his shoulder. He wants to run, and run, and run—he wants to run like he ran from Gossamer, and Gossamer’s axe, and he wants to run until he collapses, and this time, every action doesn’t have an equal and opposite reaction; and if it does, it’s not an axe flinging itself back through the air.

    It’s a boy who decided that he was going to die, and it’s the wet mulch answering him in kind. Haymitch wants to crawl into the rat king that’s hissing at him from the basement and remember that this house has seen the worst of him, and it wants to keep him inside of it forever. Haymitch’s house will die with him.

     

    Haymitch Abernathy, and the house, and the relationships that haunt the house in four acts.

    Summary

    Haymitch, from the execution of his mother, brother, and girlfriend through the 51st Games.

    I have an apostrophe problem. According to the metal gates that guard my house, I live in Victors’ Village. It is supposed to belong to more than one victor. I grab a wrench and climb up the gates. They are decorated with metal vines that act as footholds. I cannot get an angle to knock down the apostrophe exclusively, so I end up bending the S as I lever the punctuation out of place. That does not matter. I wedge the wrought-iron apostrophe where it belongs, right after the R.

    I live in Victor’s Village.

    Alone.

    Note: This fic was written before SOTR, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that carries on two rather specific major thematic elements of SOTR (details in endnote). It does not contain SOTR spoilers.

    Summary

    “The Games were always vaguely unpolished when the Districts watched it live, some details cut away to, or cut from, when things got a little too far out of the Capitol’s desires. Some of the official death orders didn’t quite make sense. Some of the expressions stitched onto Haymitch’s face had been too undeniably painful for a boy who’d spent most of his days alone in a veritable paradise.”

    In a universe a little to the left, Clerk Carmine takes a second to tilt his head at Haymitch Abernathy, and at grief.
