WHAT IF?

What if Annie didn't survive her games and win the heart of Finnick Odair? What if Finnick sees something in Katniss that not many can? What if Finnick was determined to meet our secretly terrified spark? How will the Girl On Fire react to the infamous Finnick Odair offers his advice? And if he ignites something inside her that sets everyone around the world ablaze?

How will all of this effect the story we all know? How can any of us know that any bit of this will somehow work out? Can Finnick really find a way to get her inner flames to billow out and touch us all? And what about the little shit call Peeta? Will he throw a wrench into what ever plan Finnick has cooked up in his head? Will Finnick just duck tape him to a chair and glue his lips shut to keep him from messing with his Firefly's head? Who knows. Although we're all hoping he does!

WAR.

The Girl On Fire. Well that's a title now isn't it? The thing is that she hated it with a "burning" passion. See what I did there? No? Okay, moving on then. But my Firefly hated the title the world labeled her with, reminded her entirely to much of her first games that she narrowly escaped with that shit stain Peeta. She merely tolerated it for years till the war was over. After that good luck calling her that and getting away.

War. It changed everyone. Me. Hay. Jo. Cash. Beets. Gale. But nothing compared to Kat's. My little Bug wasn't fazed by anything nearing the end of it all. She just made sure everything that was done during war was done for a purpose. At least as much as she could control. What she couldn't control was what got to her most. She always felt she was responsible for every and anything that happened. It wasn't true of course, but she's so damn stubborn.

Everone thought that every loss and backfire made her weaker and more fragile. They couldn't have been more wrong. Snow took her camera captured cry as a symbol of her giving up and rolling over. But the tears he took as sadness were actually tears of rage and fury. To be honest if Prim wasn't reaped all those years ago the games would have went on for even more years. Without the Everdeens we'd still be living with our heads bowed and our tails between our legs.

HIS LOVE.

My Everdeens are magically beautiful people. Prim is just adorable and sweet inside and out, and she knew it. Katniss on the other hand still doesn't see it. Didn't see how she held the Capitol's attention because of her simplistic beauty. Her innocence she once held within her made her even more of a beautiful person. She went to hell for vacations, that's how much my Firefly has been through. I wish I could have saved her from it all. Wish I could have kept her and Prim from the hellish nightmare they've lived through.

But the second little Prim was reaped there was nothing I could do, even though their nightmare began well before that. I could only help my Everdeens by silently guiding Kat.

But more of this later. I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Finnick Odair. My love, life, and wife used to be known as Katniss Everdeen. She, our children, and my adopted daughter Primrose now wear my last name with pride and love.

Let me tell you how all of this came to be. It's quite the story to tell your grandchildren.
