where do you go when you can't go back? (post-games fic.)

"Peeta closed his eyes, his throat aching. "I don't deserve you." Katniss let out a soft, breathy laugh, one that held no amusement—just exhaustion and love. "And I don't care."

"That one day, when I meet them again, I can say that I didn't let it consume me. There are going to be days ahead where I know, will challenge me and the ghosts of the past will weigh so heavy that I will second guess in letting it collapse me once again but when I look at Peeta. I'm reassured that I have a chance at being okay. That life can be a little kinder."

In a broken Panemian society, one that has been cowed back into place under the Capitol after the Second Rebellion, death is everywhere.

What would you sacrifice for a shot at glory? (S.Y.O.T.)

In the heart of an ancient forest, where the trees stood like silent sentinels, their branches interwoven in a canopy of emerald, green, the soft patter of rain began to fall. Beneath this arboreal cathedral, two young lovers found refuge. He, with eyes that sparkled like the morning dew, and she, with laughter as melodious as the songbirds that heralded the dawn.

It's the 25th Annual Hunger Games, the First Quarter Quell, and the districts have to choose the tributes this year. Some are volunteers, determined to save their people from the Capitol's plan to divide the districts from within, others volunteered because they're determined to win, and some are there simply because they're victims of fate. As always, the last one standing wins...

The Hunger Games went on for 74 years, and claimed 1,725 lives. 75 children survived, a handful would say they won. Some by skill, some by wit, some by strategy. None by chance
