Okay, first off: they kissed~! Heee! <3

The majority of victors knew how to swim; there actually was a group who joined up during Games every year to use the opportunity of visiting the plush Capitol facilities. <- This is very interesting! I'd wondered about this in light of the 3rd Quarter Quell

This is the best comment

Thank you! I had sooo much fun! XD

Eeee! What Lorata said!!

I mean, this is brilliant. The way you mix the perfectly mundane with "no sounds for days, he might be dead" (I'd been thinking Haymitch's surveillance person must have been thinking that a lot) And Kelvin having that episode out of nowhere, then covering it up, but the Capitol knows all. Even though they don' get it.

(this is getting me thinking on the routines of the surveillance people and how they must just record everything, then "jump to next sound" button and scroll through it before moving on to the next victor. And getting bored and not recording things because they get distracted by the pretty girl one booth over.)

I also adore your version of the swimming lessons trope. I would love the fuck out of that story

Hee, thank you! I'm glad you liked it! Haymitch and Hamlet's surveillance people probably commiserate a bit ("What did your drunk do this week?"). At least there are other victors in Five who will make sure he's not dead
