I can't really say anything apart from this is sad. Not overwhelmingly sad, but the kind that presses into your chest and makes you feel heavy and weary inside. That's one of the worst kinds of sad, but also the best, because it gets me right there where it matters.

*ahem* Anyway, great job on this one. You should write more Hunger Games fics. :D

Oh that was really quite heartbreaking. But beautiful also...

I hope to come back at some point and give a proper review, but until I can, let me just say this was spectacular. The idea of setting traps being less honorable than shooting arrows is one I'm going to mull over for days.
