“The only person I wanted to talk to tonight was you.”

Because even if it hadn’t been true twenty—ten, heck, two—years ago, it was the truth now. It was. He could feel it.

"I... I'm so sorry," said Effie quietly. Not for the affair, exactly. Perhaps a little. But for the rest of it too. For everything. For the life they were all living in tandem. For the train they were all trapped on.

Bookmarker's Notes
Eyes that Effie had loved, and that had loved her—for a time—and the way he was looking at her now made her think that maybe he could love her again. Maybe he had never stopped. Funnily enough, he nodded. As if to answer the one question she was scared to ask.

Summary
Effie made a very important promise to a very important man when she was only a little girl. And although she didn't know it at the time, she would spend the rest of her life wishing he had looked the other way.

Summary
After becoming District 12's escort at the age of twenty-two, Effie Trinket is forced to work alongside Haymitch Abernathy, the embittered sole survivor of the Second Quarter Quell. Both fractured by hidden traumas, their resentment of each other becomes complicated by their mutual longing for human connection.
Content: Most pivotal to this story is the theme of trauma. One significant plot point is Effie's backstory as a victim of childhood sexual abuse. This will never be shown graphically - however, allusions will be made to the nature of her abuse & how it continually affects her as an adult. There will be canon-typical violence, substance abuse, disordered eating, self harm, & dystopian atrocities. There will also be sexual content.
I also post about this fic on my Tumblr (incubationformadness).

And maybe he could tell her something.
Not everything, but something. That there could be a world better than this one. That maybe they wouldn't have to always be bound by pain and dead children. He wonders what it would be liked to know her in wintertime, whether she likes the snow.

Summary
“We are never going to win, are we?”
It was so clear now that she had put it into words. Voiced it to existence.
She saw it plain and simple in Vera’s dark eyes. The eyeliner rimming them wasn’t even smudged, but the hollowness in their depths was impossible to miss.
If you bothered to look.
“We are escorts, Euphemia.” Vera said as though that settled it. “Victors are the ones that win the Games. Not us. I always thought you knew the difference.”
She was going to have to learn now, wasn’t she?
(Alternatively: The multifaceted relationship between Effie and the other escorts, inspired by "The Lucky One" by Taylor Swift)

Haymitch was not apart of her days anymore. At least, that is what Effie told herself. He was a shadow on the wall. A momentary flicker in the long story of her happy, happy, happy—well, wasn’t it?—life.

"Don't know what Crane sees in you, because all I see is…" Haymitch smirked viciously as his eyes deliberately ran over her in slow motion. "Well, it isn't much, sweetheart."

It is a well-known fact at Panem Academy boarding school that perfect, popular Effie Trinket and crass, burnout Haymitch Abernathy despise each other. When the two are forced to spend time together as punishment, they might just find out there's a fine line between love and hate. And Effie Trinket might just learn that there's something insidious behind the altruistic veneer of Panem Academy. Highschool AU. Hayffie endgame. Seneffie.

Summary
Effie spends her first years in Twelve, wondering how different her life would have been in the Capitol. Certainly, her hands would still be smooth and free of calluses, but she knows there would be bloody stains on her soul the longer she had stayed.
Haymitch wonders if it would have been easier to fade into obscurity as Twelve's only victor finding solace at the bottom of the bottle or in a bed not his own. The arrival of the Capitol girl ruins his plans to fade away.
Loneliness is a dangerous disease that infects them both, but time somehow finds a way to weave them together.
