Kindling

by Theswimmergirlonfire

Katniss was the spark behind the rebellion, but sparks don't appear out of the blue. They come form kindling. Cinna started the fire that ate Panem alive. This is his story.

Call me strange, but I could always see a Cinna/Katniss story. I know it's strange, but humor me. Please review! Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Chapter 1: Gathering Fuel

Cinna always was a different boy. He was quiet, and did not associate with other Capitol citizens much, regardless of his social stature. While his college age peers were concerned with the latest scandals and (he thought privately) propaganda, he belonged to a different world. Cinna lived in the fashion world.

Now he was obsessed with it, but not the ridiculous things his few friends were. Putrid yellow and stale green with crinkly fabric that felt course between his very fingers were not appealing. Cinna was into fashion as art, as works of beauty. The sketches in his book were detailed; hours could be spent on him trying to get a curve just so. These were not to be worn with extensive makeup, hideously disfihuring the face. This was meant to emphizie beauty, and make people into legends.

Someone should be a different person in something he designed, someone worth remembering.
