...I don't WANT to like this, but I do.

[rodlox]

this. exactly so.

[fierceawakening]

Yes, exactly. The voice is just fantastic.

[downbythebay_4]

Thank you.

[rodlox]

that's one of the saddest closing lines I've ever seen.
much as I want to put a jacket on Clove and protect her, I know she'd kill me. (at the very least, I'd like to whisk her and Peeta away to live together away from it all)

this is a excellently-written fic. a reasonable choice of perspective and background for Clove.
but most of all, I like how she thinks, when she's not thinking in terms of rivalries or sponsors or death.

bravo on writing so well.

Thank you, I'm glad you found the emotion genuine.

I'm working on another piece right now in which Clove is very unhinged, but for this I tried to convey that she was more confused and hurt than anything else.

Thank you again for the vote of confidence.

[rodlox]

it felt a little like she was starting to come unhinged at/by the end of this fic...because of, as you say, confusion and hurt.

...or did you mean more like the unhingedness in the movie when Clove is telling Katniss who killed Rue?*

>vote of confidence.
You earned my vote. again, bravo!

* = just had an AU idea...Clove manages to keep Thresh from killing her (knifing him when he slams her against the Cornocopia), so she and Peeta are the last two survivors...
(maybe a sequel to this fic, maybe independent)

[downbythebay_4]

Unhinged as in, something is quite broken inside of her.

It would be interesting to see Peeta and Clove as the last two survivors. Perhaps you should write a little something; you're free to use this as a launching point if you'd like.

[downbythebay_4]

Thank you!

I am bad person for reading this and you may be a bad person for writing it, but I'm an even worse person for not wanting you to stop. =P

This is painful but so very good. Clove's odd mix of innocence and experience is very well done, and the first person was a surprising element that you pulled off well. I hope there will be more Careers-fic from you!

[downbythebay_4]

Thank you. I'm glad it was to your taste, whatever that says about us.

I'm working on a series of song-fic drabbles for Cato and Clove, but I'm hoping to either throw together a a bit of art, or solicit someone to do it for me. XD

Cohesion...I crave it.

Thank you again!

[flawlessglitch]

Thisssssss. This is exactly what I've been looking for. *flails happily* I come from a fandom where dirty kinky fic is the everyday norm and you can't find any of it from Hunger Games...until you. You flawless being you.

Fantastic stuff.

[downbythebay_4]

I'm glad you enjoyed it.
