I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[callmeonetrack]

Oh I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! YAY

Heeeee... I'm so glad you enjoyed.

I always knew I wanted to write that back story because it totally took over my mind. My friends and I had conversations about exactly how the games would've gone... it was everything else that took time in coming to me.

Yeah, I figure Kara'd be kinda bitter... almost like... perpetually stuck in the Scar mindspace after the games. Sort of what I was going for with that--guilt, shame, drinking. And I think that bitterness would carry over into Kara's opinion of Katniss.

Heee, the home moment. That was just for you bb :) I knew you'd like it.

I'm so glad you liked that line. I was rather fond of it myself.

And I'm glad the Gale dialogue worked. I have less of a handle on the HG dialogue so it was a bit of a struggle.

Also YAY SMOOCHIES.

So glad you liked it bb.

This was lovely -- and could very well fit into HC canon. I'd love to see both couples at the forefront of the Resistance and saving Peeta too!

I'm glad you liked it :)

Peeta's too nice to just let him die.

*SCREAMS*

OMFG.

*RUNS TO READ*

*flails around*

That was PERFECT. I just- I could hear them saying those lines.

This made me REALLY happy, with all the kissing (yay!) and rebellion and HAYMITCH. But god, I TOTALLY cried whenever Zak was mentioned. And the lighter! OMG, the lighter! *sobs*

I would say more, but I am on my iTouch, and it's hard to leave long comments using it. :)

[rayruz]

Heartstrings tugged? Check. Mission Accomplished.

Yeah, leaving comments with my iphone is a real pain in the ass. But I'm glad you liked it! :D The lighter was sort of a random add but I'm glad it worked.

Wow Ray, this is truly amazing. :D

All the characters seemed to belong in the same universe, I could totally see this happening, they saying those lines. Kara feeling guilty for Zak (*sobs*) and Lee being in love with her from the beginning, as it should be. :) And Gale... oh Gale! So wise. I loved that both Lee and Gale acted on their feelings. That's the way to go boys, well done.

AND YAY SMOOCHING! (OMG HOME! *melts*) You can never go wrong with all that smooching. :)

Wonderful job, Ray. Wonderful.

I wish there was a book about this story. Hee. ;)

[rayruz]

:D So glad you liked it bb! I only hope the other fics I'm working on turn out this well. lol.

I felt so mean when I knew I was including and killing off Zak, but I thought it was appropriate.

Wonderful job! Your characterizations of both 'verses are spot on.

[rayruz]

Thank you!
