Fics like Chocolate Strawberries

"I've never had a strawberry," she says quietly. "Daddy said he would try to get me some for my birthday. He said that they'd be covered in chocolate. But he's dead." Not for the first time, Haymitch wishes he were someone else. Someone who would know how to respond to what Katniss just said. Someone who, currently, wasn't trying to figure out if the nausea building up in his throat was from his new situation or the hangover that he'd ignored because of it. Someone like Burdock. "I could get you strawberries and chocolate for your birthday," Haymitch says. She tears her eyes away from the table, and once again, her cool grey eyes meet his. She nods slowly. In a whisper so low he has to strain his ears to hear her, she says "You're not my daddy." His throat closes, and he thinks he feels tears sting his eyes. Haymitch runs a hand through his long hair and lets out a shaky breath. "I know. But I'm here," he responds. OR AU where Katniss is five when both her parents die, leaving her and Prim with no other choice but to live with Haymitch.
