Preludes to the Nights to Come (The Hunger Games, Finnick/Annie)

[puella_nerdii]

I ended up starting a lot of things for Porn Battle and only finishing one, thanks to real life deciding to kick in while PB ran, but I am rather fond of this one. (I plan to finish up the Nathan/Kelly and Katniss/Johanna and Finnick/Johanna things I started soon, but one thing at a time

I'm glad you finally write for a fandom I like. <3 (And yes, I read those books just because of your recommendation... I don't regret it!).

Well, this was... hot and heartbreaking and dkfhdkd. There were a lot of wonderful metaphors in this, but I think this line stood out to me:

And he always comes back after that, sits on the shore with her and cradles her in his arms and waits for the tide to wash them both clean.

Btw, would you give me the link to this porn battle? I never heard of it but it sounds interesting... I tried to google it, but google tells me I can't search for naughty words like 'porn' and I don't know how to switch it off and -- aaargh.

Sorry for being annoying ^^"

[puella_nerdii]

Not annoying at all! Here is everything you need to know ever about Porn Battle, with links to all relevant posts and a masterlist of fics written for it. Have fun!

I. Um. Kind of fell down a gay-country-shaped hole for two years. *cough* But I have crawled back out of it, and I'm glad I'm writing for this fandom, too! And given how ridiculously in love I am with Finnick and Annie and so many of the other characters, I don't expect that to change anytime soon.

The line you pointed out was one of my favorites to write -- I have all these images in my head of Finnick after he gets back from the Capitol, how he and Annie go off together and hold each other for hours until he really feels like he's back again.

Thanks so much for reading this, and I'm glad my recommendation worked out!

I'm kind of glad you are in THG fandom now cos fics!! Have to admit i didn't even know fics for THG exists until you started recommending and writing. orz

[puella_nerdii]

Many fics. Many fics.

...or at least really freaking long fics. Oh god, I haven't done longform like this in -- maybe ever. (My girlfriend, as always, is a freaking fic machine and I am just like HOW DO YOU DO IT.)

Thanks for reading, and I hope you like all the stuff that's yet to come, too!

[lassarina]

aaaaaaah. Oh. Them. Yes.

[puella_nerdii]

NOT!SPOILER: THEY ARE MY FAVORITES. PRETTY MUCH FOREVER.

Puel said I could step in on this one since I keep the list in my head!

Finnickiad Part 3, or what Finnick is up to during the 74th games - that's me and Puel together, just like S&C.

Annie and Johanna post-Mockingjay - I don't know which of us is doing this.

The epic thing in which Haymitch walks a lot and gets shoved into a wall by Coin, who is like thirty years old - me and Gileonnen.

District Eleven wins the Games, the world burns - me.

Johanna/Katniss epic of hot and funny - Puel.

Johanna backstory - Puel.

An Elegy for Cinna - Linden, but it's in the same 'verse as my and Puel's stuff.

A sequel to that Elegy for Cinna, in which a lot of stylists die - me.

The BDSM Club AU - me and Puel.

And odds are we're going to get plotbunnied for any number of other things. And we've both signed up for Panem et Fabulae as well.

Even Annie/Finnick PWOP is bittersweet. There isn't enough fic with them, even with all the stuff you've written.

[puella_nerdii]

Then I guess I'll just have to write more, won't I? *grins*

And yeah, I don't think you can get these two without a little bit of bittersweetness. They're still beautiful, though.
