Cato/Clove I'm ashamed that I'm barely human, and I'm ashamed that I don't have a heart you can break

Cato and Clove are assigned together when they are both twelve. Their parents say, you try to get along now, it might be useful to you. But also: not too much, though, arm's length and they are doomed right from the beginning, aren't they?

It goes like this:

When they first meet, on the mats of the Academy, Cato spits in her eye to distract her and pushes her to the ground. She is blushing furiously, rubbing her eye and spluttering because how dare heHe smirks and rolls off, says, "Oh, what? Little girls can't handle ( ... )

It begins. Clove is the first to make a kill. It is not like she expects, there is too much blood because, in her haste, she misses the artery and has to twist her knife around. It's great. The bitch from district 12 manages to escape, but it's alright for now.

When the boy, Peeta, tells them, "No, see, it was all--it was lies, I just needed to make Katniss think she was safe from me, to trust me" she is wary, but he will be of use anyway, so she pockets the small darts she has. She can kill him later ( ... )

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was trying something a bit different, so I'm still not sure if it worked.

(also: if you are also colfield on tumblr, well, I really like your blog. Cheers.)

WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT. This is one of my favorite Cato/Clove fics I have ever read. I don't know what to do with my hands. I love everything about it. That last line? Are you kidding me?!?!

And does it count as pulling pigtails if throwing knives are involved?

^HOLY SHIT that's fantastic

Ohgod, that last bit at the end just about killed me. I ship this with the fire of a thousand suns, and you have done it perfectly, hauntingly.
