Title: Treading Water (Part III - The Arena)
Chapter Title: Slaves to the Beat
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 5,270
Betas: mrsdrjackson and pinkfinity (all mistakes and missteps are my own), and a special thanks to azelmaroark for her help with all the swimming stuff.
Focus: Annie Cresta/Finnick Odair
Characters: Finnick Odair, Katniss Everdeen, Annie Cresta, Haymitch Abernathy, Peeta Mellark
Summary: Just like that, Finnick is in the arena, surrounded by blue-green water and brilliant pink sky...
Author's note: Just FYI - I played around with distances in the arena a little, just because Katniss' estimation of things seems a little small. Also, I'm not even going to try to keep this to a once-a-week posting schedule, because that was just plain EXHAUSTING, so it'll probably be closer to a new chapter every two weeks. Thirty-three total chapters is what I have blocked out, so that should be good unless I get blindsided again, like I did with chapter 14 (it took me two chapters to recover from that one, which is why I still have a question mark after the chapter count). Eventually, I'll get a soundtrack up for The Arena, too, but know that the chapter title comes from "Fire Escape" by Civil Twilight.

The platform rises and the relative darkness of the Launch Room gives way to light so intense it’s a physical pressure on his skin.

I drew more Peeta + Katniss, I hope you like it!

I'm in such a HG mood that it's hard to think it'll take over a year to watch the next film.

title: the farther you are, the stronger i am
rating: pg, there's mention of alcohol(ism) but nothing graphic
characters: katniss, haymitch-centric
spoilers: none, outright. but it does cover the latter part of catching fire with vague descriptions/references
a/n: so katniss and haymitch's relationship goes to crap in the books when he lies to her and that always makes me sad because i loved them together. and i always felt like haymitch cared more about katniss than to simply lie to her and have it at that, like in the book. so in a moment of weakness, i conjured something up that kind of soothes that wound because i luff him. my heart will go on. and on. and oooooooon. (p.s. the time line is flexible, just go with it.)

(you can't lose something you never had)
