fanmix: your harbor [finnick/annie] - the hunger games
fandom: the hunger games
characters: annie cresta & finnick odair
notes:spoilers for mockingjay
This is my first fanmix (other than some very casual private playlists) ! I am in no way a photoshop expert (having just gotten it tonight) so please excuse the simple graphics. One song has partially bolded lyrics - that's because I imagine that song to be a duet. The bold part is Finnick.
harbor - vienna teng
sail your sea
meet your storm
all i want is to be your harbor
the light in me will guide you home
all i want is to be your harbor
(finnick knows that he isn't the easiest person to love, sometimes. he feels it especially during the long months away in the capitol. he worries about the things people whisper and if it'll get back to her and worse, if she'll think that he actually loves any of these artificial capitol women. it's a ridiculous thing to worry about, given all that hangs over their heads, but he does so anyways.
she's there as soon as his feet pad against the wooden slats of their backyard, overlooking the ocean. when he kisses her he can taste the saltwater on her lips and the roar of the waves behind them and knows that this is a far better wonder than anything mankind could have manufactured.)
falling slowly - the swell season
take this sinking boat and point it home
we've still got time
raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
you'll make it now
falling slowly, eyes that know me
and i can't go back
moods that take me and erase me
and i'm painted black
you've suffered enough
and warred with yourself
it's time that you won
(there are moments when her nightmares overflow into the waking world, permeating through her current thoughts with ease. annie does the only thing she can in these situations; she grips the sides of her head, clutching at her hair until it hurts as she tries not to scream. and sees memories of a decapitated boy and a broken dam.
it's his hands that encircle her wrists, slackening her grip. his voice that tells her that it'll be alright. amongst the myriad numbers of people who have told her that since she was reaped for the games, he is the only person she always believes)
thief - our lady peace
someone help us understand who ordered
this disgusting arrangement, time and the end
as the world explodes we fall out of it
but we can't let go because this
will not go away
i can't see the thief that lives inside of your head
but i can be some courage at the side of your bed
i don't know what's happening but i can pretend
and i can be your, be your
(after 45 hours, they try to make him leave, but he won't budge. he sets his jaw and the look he gives them dares them to try again. no more suave capitol charm, not around her. he's there when she wakes up, bleary and disoriented. starving and thin from the arena. "i...swam?" she asks him, her voice fragile and almost hollow in a way that almost makes finnick want to cry as he grips her hand. "like a fish," he answers, putting on a brave smile instead.)
when you find me - joshua radin (+ maria taylor)
something is said, it sits my head
it's been there too long, it's killing me slow
it's rolling around, it's pushing me down
it's keeping a good part of me closed
can't you see that when i find you i find me?
my only weakness is knowing your secrets
holding them close, i'm holding them tight
i know the way to silently make you
smile with my eyes, when you're trying to fight
(as a living legend throughout all of panem, finnick odair has many faces. the most obvious, the physical, is coveted for being extraordinarily beautiful. yet there are others - his sensuous way of talking, the rumors of how many lovers he has. yhe carefree victor, attending party after party and taking the capitol by storm. all of these are false, last-ditch mechanisms built by a broken man.
he's never acted like anyone but himself around annie, though. he knows that she won't stand for any of it. the cross look she gives him is cute though, and sometimes he'll slip her a line just to see how she reacts.)
don't wake me up - the hush sound
don't wake me up, i am still sleeping
the story's undone, unravel at the seams
don't wake me up - death is misleading
and when i fall asleep, sleep with a ghost
the light had slipped through your window
the morning ripped you away, oh
(annie sleeps for hours after the war. as treacherous as her dreams are, they have become the only place where she can see finnick, if only for a few hours. sometimes his face intermingles with her terrors, but his presence mitigates them and she sleeps soundly despite everything. yet every day she wakes up to a cold and empty bed and wishes she were asleep again.
it's only when she feels the baby stirring inside of her does she truly wake up. he becomes her hope for the future: this boy with eyes the color of the sea.)
drive my soul - lights
you make the streetlights reappear
i feel bright when you stand near
i know who i am when you are here
my way becomes so clear
when you're gone, will i lose control?
you're the only road i know
you show me where to go
who will drive my soul?
(even in the highly regimented culture of district 13, where public displays of affection are frowned upon by the administrative brass, their hands never separate. his show the marks of callouses caused by the ropes, but the shell of a man tying them in the corner of the barracks is completely gone.
finnick, for his part, feels as though he could sing.)
anchor - lifehouse
i know that i will never be alone
you will never let me go
you are my anchor
hold my hand while i'm sinking in the sand
no one else could understand
you are my anchor
(she holds his head in her hands for what seems like the longest time and unlike everyone else, she doesn't talk at him. instead, annie tries something truly novel - she listens. he doesn't tell her everything, and there are some things she can never know because those with crueler hearts would manipulate that.
yet she sits quietly with him for hours, and finnick thinks that annie has patience enough to span the entirety of the churning seas.)
annie - our lady peace
something in the way that she explains to me
❝please be careful, i exist in someone else's head❞
something in the way that she makes believe
please be careful; annie dreams that everyone is dead.
(rumors abound.
they say that she's crazy. or stark raving mad. there are some that feel sympathy; they say that something broke in her during the games. others are not so generous - after all, there's nothing people like more than a good scandal.
finnick doesn't protest these rumors. in fact, he and mags started them. the less desirable annie looks to the people of the capitol, the better. he signed another contract the other week - double the amount of clients, if it means that she's safe.
but she's safe. he does it for her, and only her.
did you always love annie, finnick?
no, she crept up on me.)
