Ahhhh.

See, here's the thing: I absolutely do not believe that anyone in the Capitol waited those two years. If you bought a solid gold trident for 14-year-old Finnick Odair... you want 14-year-old Finnick to "pay you back."

Also, for Finnick -- could the trauma of something like, say, having to kill a bunch of children bigger/stronger/older than you and then immediately being sold into sex slavery do something to impede his daemon's ability to settle normally? Because I almost feel like Finnick's daemon wouldn't settle until he was free and Annie was safe (like, at their wedding? AH, I WANT A FIC NOW OF FINNICK'S DAEMON FINALLY SETTLING AT THEIR WEDDING ALL THE THINGS!).

I also really love the idea of their daemons being companions or symbiotic creatures, but I like the idea of Annie's being bigger than Finnick's. I think Finnick's daemon would be something small and unobtrusive that he could always have touching him, even when other people were... touching him. Something that he could tuck onto his shoulder or around his wrist or snuggling up close to him to keep him "safe," you know?

And I think Annie's would have settled before her Games, and then the Games would have made it change again one last time into something terrible, since they were awful enough to give her PTSD (whether or not that PTSD was on top of a preexisting condition). But I do think that since Finnick was her mentor, whatever it changed into would have been something that reminded her of him -- obvious or not, you know? Maybe HERS is that sleek panther, since Finnick is all... sleek... and... panthery.

But I also feel like they'd have ocean-y daemons. I assume daemons can't be actual water creatures, because of like, land and air and that, but maybe they're like Ron and Hermione and have an otter and a cocker spaniel.

I LOVE FINNICK AND ANNIE SO MUCH.

OMG WHAT IS CINNA'S DAEMON? CAN IT BE SOMETHING SNEAKY AND BEAUTIFUL?

For some reason, when I thought Cinna, my brain went to cheetah. I can't even give a reason why, I just went to cheetah! :)

Also I love your thoughts on the daemons of Finnick and Annie. So want fic now!
