Fics like hope is the thing with feathers

On the morning of my fortieth birthday, I wake up shivering against the morning dew, curled up like a baby on the gray rock of Lenore Dove’s gravestone. I don’t often find myself this far into the woods anymore – torn between my desperation to forget and my need to remember – but when I do, it’s under the haze of rotgut, which has an uncanny ability to draw out the deepest hurts and shove them back into my face once I return to consciousness. Often, I won’t know what pain is haunting me during the daylight hours until I wake up the next morning on Louella’s old doorstep, or the meadow where Lenore Dove raised her geese, or the vacant lot where the Abernathy house used to be. I’m a recluse in the day, only to become a wandering ghost in the night, haunted by the past I’m unable to forget. OR My take on an epilogue before the epilogue in Sunrise on the Reaping - Haymitch's perspective of witnessing the Reaping for the 74th Hunger Games. For those who just finished the book and wanted a bit more of interaction between Haymitch, Katniss, and Peeta: this one's for you. ❤️
