I'm seeing so much Haymitch/Katniss around lately and it's a great development in my opinion.

And I really loved this -- excellent characterization and the imagery really made it real. I can see how this relationship would be unhealthy, and yet also possibly irresistible because in some ways they're alike.

Random comment is random, but could you link some other Haymitch/Katniss fic you've seen? I'm not hip to this fandom yet.

I love this fic. A LOT. It has everything a girl needs in a Hunger Games fic; aching pain, darkness, great imagery...oh, and Katniss/Haymitch. It is the only Hunger Games pairing imo.

Great job! ♥

Yes! This is brilliant. My life needs more Haymitch/Katniss exactly like this.

"Don't go don't go, please, don't go. She could never say it out loud. Then again, there's no need to spell it out."

This line to me encapsulates their dynamic. So much unspoken between them. Love it.

This fic is soso pretty, sweetling! I'm not sure if I commented over a the Girl on Fire ficathon, so I'll do it again. This is lovely and you have this sort of ethereal quality to your writing that is just perfect, especially with the subject matter. You portrayed the dreaminess of it all.

I want to write so much Haymitch/Katniss right now, but plotting is such an issue for me! I'm sure inspiration will hit you again. Don't fret!
