mix: knives don't have your back (the hunger games)
Medium: Books/Films
Fandom: The Hunger Games
Subject/Pairing: Clove/Cato (Victors AU)
Title: knives don't have your back
Warnings: Slight spoilers for the first book/film, but diverges from canon around the middle.
Notes: Whoops, I made a mix. I just have a lot of feelings about these two. But then again, you know that.
1. ghost » voxtrot (cato)
i have no choice but to be vicious on my feet
i never sleep, i never eat
i am learning how to be lost completely
i am becoming a ghost of myself
oh i am becoming a ghost of myself
2. youth decay » sleater-kinney (clove)
close my mouth
was i born to accommodate
i'm so good at playing dead
words just don't seem to come out
am i rotting out
daddy says i got my mama's mouth
3. kiss with a fist » florence & the machine (cato/clove in district two, pre-games)
your slaps don't stick
your kicks don't hit
so we remain the same
but love hits, sweat sticks
break the locks if it don't fit
a kick in the teeth is good for some
and a kiss with a fist is better than none
4. anthems for a seventeen-year-old girl » broken social scene (in the capitol)
used to be one of the rotten ones
and i liked you for that
now you're all gone, got your makeup on
and you're not coming back
5. maps » yeah yeah yeahs (interviews)
wait
they don't love you like i love you
6. winning » emily haines & the soft skeleton (in the arena.)
knives don't have your back.
i wait and i count until the last breath we take.
what we made doesn't make sense.
what's a wolf without a pack?
open your chest and take the heart from it.
7. collapsing stars » the mountain goats (in the arena, part ii. also my theme song for them, actually.)
told you to load up on provisions, we wouldn't be back for a while
pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
turn toward the camera and smile, smile, smile
when we ditched the plan to poison all our enemies
stuck our weapons in a clearing and covered them with leaves
we are gonna come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaths one day
and we are on our way
you can look
but you won't find another love like ours
collasping stars
8. pink light » laura veirs (pulling away from each other to protect each other.)
sorry i was cruel, i was protecting myself
drifting along with my swords out flying
tattering my own sails and i tattered yours, too
took you and rocked you around me like a spell
oh, how now the cold seeps in, oh
oh, how now i cast you into the wind
9. never say die » sleigh bells (two winners can come from the same district; they still have a chance.)
i'd like to try to sit down beside you
but when i say dark, i don't mean the shade
well i'm prepared to fight and defend you
above it's their time, down here it's our time
never say die
10. girl with one eye » florence & the machine (this is where their luck begins to change. clove succeeds in killing the girl on fire.)
i said hey, girl with one eye
i'll cut your little heart out 'cause you made me cry
i said don't worry, it's not gonna hurt
all my reputation's kinda clouded with dirt
that's why you sleep with one eye open
that's the price you paid.
11. born to die » lana del rey (the gamemakers change the rules again. it was never meant for them. they should have known that from the start.)
come take a walk on the wild side
let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
you like your girls insane
choose your last words, this is the last time
cause you and i, we were born to die
12. start a war » the national (one of them has to die. there can only be one winner. they were never meant to change the world. yet they might find a way to beat the game after all.)
we expected something
something better than before.
we expected something more.
walk away now, and you're gonna start a war.
13. our hell » emily haines & the soft skeleton (this is victory.)
we’re paralyzed, we apologize; our hell is a good life.
last went wrong but where's my prize, under the lights?
there's a pattern in the system. there's a bullet in the gun.
i tried to save you but it can't be done.
it can't be done.
