Just an idea I had a couple months ago and finally got round to writing it! I have a playlist of songs on my iPod that remind me of Haymitch and Effie's 'relationship'. I decided I would write one-shots based on some of the songs. The individual stories probably wont be long, but there's gonna be a load of chapters anyway :) and if you have any Hayffie song requests, leave them in a review and I'll research the song and write it up :)

The first one is based on 'Stay' by Rihanna.


Stay

Haymitch felt Effie's grip on his arm tighten as she fought to escape the nightmare she was experiencing.

Effie was in District 12 on one of her monthly visits. She wasn't legally obliged to travel to the district, she just felt it her duty to check up on Katniss and Peeta to make sure they were okay. She also made an effort to keep Haymitch right for a few days. He welcomed her to stay in his home. Loathe as he was to admit it, he liked her company.

However, in her 6 most recent visits, she always seemed to find her way into his bed. She said he helped her with the nightmares. She always tried to sleep in her own bed, but Haymitch would hear a light tap on his door at 2 or 3am every night and Effie would appear in his doorway, fear evident in her eyes. He'd move over to make room for her but somehow she'd end up curled right by his side. After the first few times she did this, Haymitch admitted defeat and slung his arms around her.

Haymitch soon came to realize he only ever slept while she was there. She knew he helped with her nightmares. Little did she know, she helped with his too.

Over time, they realised they were as broken as each other. So when Haymitch asked her to stay, she didn't hesitate in answering 'yes'.
