A/N: Thank you for all the feedback! I love you guys! It's overwhelming and humbling to see so many people actually excited about my updates. I love seeing that you guys enjoy them. It means a lot. Can I just say, if you haven't read it yet, please check out my story The Early Years. It's gonna be a series following the books but I'm currently pre-THG. I updated it today. :)

Now, onto business! NCISfanatical made a request, and I stay true to my word. Here is how I imagine Katniss discovered Hayffie (after the rebellion). Now, I imagine she had always had a hunch, but in Catching Fire and Mockingjay she was a little out of touch with others and distracted by the Games and the Rebellion. This is post-mockingjay, and Effie has just come to 12 to see them all (but she goes to Haymitch first! :D). So, Katniss doesn't know she's here yet, and she decides to visit her mentor at a very awkward time.

Enjoy and please review with any more prompts. I enjoy hearing what you guys want to see, and I hope I can deliver something you enjoy from your suggestions.

P.S. Dear NCISfanatical, I shall write Cinna's discovery in another chapter. :D

This is in Katniss' POV.

-Ellie.

"Peeta, what time is Effie meant to be here?" I yell up the stairs to him. He's in the study painting, as usual.

"Erm... I'm supposed to go meet her in about an hour. Why?"

"Oh. I was just wondering. I thought if you were still painting then I'd go."

"Okay. That's nice of you, but I really don't mind. I'll be done by then anyways."

"Alright. Look, I'm gonna go see Haymitch. Invite him for dinner with us. I don't know when he last saw Effie. I'll be back soon."

"Sure. That sounds good. See you later."

I leave my house and make my way across the road to my ex-mentor's house. I don't bother knocking. We've all gotten to the point where we don't feel the need to anymore, and none of us lock our doors anyway. We're the closest any of us have to a family. I walk into the house and begin to look for him. There's no point shouting. He's probably asleep somewhere. I check the kitchen and the lounge, but he's not downstairs. I assume he's probably in bed, so I make my way up the stairs, humming to myself. What I find when I open the door to his bedroom shocks, horrifies and amuses me all the same time.

"Hay- oh!" I freeze in the doorway, unable to look away from the sight in front of me.

"What the fuck kid!?"

"Oh my goodness!"

Haymitch quickly rolls to the side, off of the woman he's currently naked in bed with. She gasps and pulls the duvet up to cover herself and save her dignity. My eyes widen.

"Effie?" She pulls the duvet up to cover her now-bright-red face, and murmurs through the thick material.

"Hello Katniss." I'm stunned, in shock, but the only thing my mind can manage to make me do is burst out laughing. I cover my mouth, trying to control my shocked laughter.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't realize you were here! I certainly didn't realize that you and Haymitch were-"

"GET THE FUCK OUT KATNISS!" His loud voice finally allows my body to move. I cover my eyes and turn around.

"I'm so sorry!" I move to exit the room, but before I close the door, I remember why I originally came here.

"So... I know this is a little awkward right now, but Peeta and I wanted to invite you to dinner with us this evening... Oh and Effie, I'll let him know you've... arrived."

"Thank you Katniss." She murmurs, still clutching the duvet to her face but allowing her eyes to peer over at me. I smile at her, but struggle to not allow it to turn into a wide grin or laugh.

"We'll be there. Now get the fuck out of my house!" I nod and continue apologizing as I back out of the door and pull it closed behind me.

I lean against the wall for a moment, trying to register what the hell I've just witnessed. Those two are practically parents to me! Thinking back though, I realize that I've always been suspicious of their "mutual hatred". For two people who barely tolerated each other, they certainly knew each other well. They shared a sense of humor, private jokes, always shared little looks with each other, and how the hell did he know she wore a corset!? It was so clear! I stand there, stunned, for a second at the realization it's been going on for years. When I hear Effie giggle from inside the room, I know it's time to make a hasty exit. I run down the stairs and across the street back to my house, allowing myself to laugh again when I am safe behind my closed front door. Peeta comes to the top of the stairs, looking concerned. He's probably wondering what the commotion is.

"Something funny?" He smirks at me laughing. Even I'll admit it's rare since the rebellion.

"I... Urm... So, you don't need to go pick Effie up anymore."

"Oh. Is she not coming?" I laugh harder.

"She's already here."

"Oh?" He looks confused.

"She's with Haymitch... I, urm... Let's just say, I picked a bad time to go over there." His expression changes from confused to understanding, before turning to an absolute look of shock and horror.

"You mean they...? Oh my God! What happened!?" His face turns to amusement and he runs down the stairs to me, leading me to the sofa.

"Tell me!" His eyes are lit up with amusement, and I can't refuse. I decide I'll miss out the gory details to save them a little dignity.

"I went over there and he wasn't downstairs. I assumed he was in bed, and... I guess I was kinda right."

"Were they together!?" He's grinning as if I'm telling him the funniest thing ever.

"They were... well, it's a good job the duvet was there, put it that way."

He bursts into laughter and I find myself laughing with him. After we calm down, he reaches up to caress my cheek, smiling.

"It's so good to hear you laugh again." I smile at him.

"Who'd have guessed THAT would be the reason behind it?" We both chuckle.

"Haymitch and Effie, huh? Who'd have thought it?"

"Well it certainly shocked me." We both laugh lightly again at this and he gently kisses me on the lips. I kiss him back softly, smiling. He grins at me.

"So... dinner's gonna be pretty awkward tonight."
