A/N This story contains spoilers for all three of the Hunger Game books.
I started to read the Hunger Games books about 1 ½ months ago and I absolutely loved them! Love the new film too and I just can't stop thinking about what happens at the end of Mockingjay. So here's my take on how Katniss and Peeta grow back together at the end of Mockingjay. It will probably be a longish story, so I hope you continue to read. The prologue is a poem I wrote as a lead in to the story, which will start next chapter, on its way soon!
Prologue
Hope is like the Dandelion.
It's a persistent weed, difficult to kill even through the darkest and most painful of times
Its roots dig in deep, bound so tightly they're impossible to tear asunder
The seeds travel far, ever spreading and seeking new land to lay claim to
But this plant aims to kill
It's a double edged sword, providing both solace and sorrow to those who may find it
It purges and destroys that which competes against it as it seeks to flourish
Its survival is at the expense of others and its neighbours will seek its mercy
Yet hope is like the dandelion
It's also a promise of new life, a first sign of spring after the long and bitter winter
Its leaves and bright yellow flowers provide food and shelter to those who are seeking
Its colour and flavour bringing warmth and kindness to those who know how to gather
And so like the dandelion
Its presence is both a blessing and a curse, a sign of new life and also destruction.
And one cannot live without hope, without the promise of spring following winter
And hope, once it takes seed, is nearly impossible to destroy.
No matter how hard one may try to oppress it.
(Written by me, inspired by the ending of Mockingjay)
