I swear that tableau at the end was heartbreaking to write. Finnick's two great loves! Except he doesn't love one of them yet...

(Finnick's a little bit slow with these things sometimes.)

This is all just so beautiful and sad and heartbreaking. Looking forward to the next part. :)

Mith's described Finnick's arc -- in our heads, at least -- as a Parsifal arc, and I think she's right; Finnick wasn't necessarily an innocent, but he was unselfconscious, and it's hard for him to go back to that after all he's been through. If he even can, now that he knows what it means to be him.

His story breaks my heart the more I think about it, I swear.

Johanna drinks hers black. “This is ridiculous.”

“Which part?”

“The part where it’s any more of a waste than usual,” she says.

OH GOD. I love Johanna.
