Fics like The Ocean Keep Our Brave

Brian shouts at us from his family’s boat several yards away, pointing to the red flag flying high over the lighthouse that says we should come in to shore. My brother and I don’t speak on the way in other than to maneuver away from other boats and the occasional sharp, Capitol-created rock dotting the harbor. I steer us very clear of these; rumor has it they’re poisoned to prevent water escapes on reaping days, and I’ve never wanted to test the theory. It takes an age and a half to sort out the nets once we’ve moved the fish, but I don’t mind. It’s soothing to have something to do with my hands. “Hey,” Brian says from over my shoulder. I feel him sit beside me and I relax, leaning against his side for the space of a heartbeat before righting myself. He nudges me back, reaching for the net. “Ready for today?” “Of course not,” I say back, and he laughs. It’s a tired beaten thing. He says, “When are we ever.” ________________ A TSR Hunger Games AU.
