    Summary

    *Part of a series but fine to read as a stand-alone.*

    Johanna Mason is 11 years old the first time she sees Finnick Odair. She’s watching TV with her cousin Eleanor – who is an idiot – and Eleanor’s friend Addison – who is an even bigger idiot. It’s the tribute interviews, mandatory viewing, but Johanna would have far preferred to watch alone at home rather than be subjected to Eleanor and Addison’s insufferable stream of commentary and giggles.

    Finnick Odair is 20 years old the first time he sees Johanna Mason. She’s a screaming, sobbing mess, having to be dragged up onto the stage by peacekeepers when her name is called at the reaping.

    OR

    Johanna and Finnick each watch the other's Games and think they have each other figured out. They will both come to realize that they were wrong.

    Summary

    He hates himself, he thinks. He's a Victor and he's meant to be anything other than this. Finnick should be more than this. He shouldn't be so useless.

    Finnick shuts his eyes, his face twisting up at the thoughts buzzing in his head. He shouldn't be, but he is. He's not a Victor in a way that matters. How can he be a Victor when he doesn't even know who he is anymore? When the body he resides in isn't his own? Finnick's name isn't even his own these days. Finnick Odair died the day they pulled him out of the Arena. Finnick Odair died the day they sold him.

    He takes a few shaking steps forwards, his whole body feeling like lead. Finnick almost feels like he has concrete tied to his legs, pulling him under the waves, forcing him to drown. He drags his feet along the floor, shuffling slowly to collapse on his knees directly at Mags's feet.

    Finnick doesn't trust her. Finnick doesn't know what to do with himself other than offer himself up.

    (or, a dive into finnick odair's relationship with the people who have kept him alive over the years)

    Summary

    After everything, once Finnick has survived the arena and the Capitol is clamoring for a glimpse of him, they’ll ask Adrian if he’d always been like that. So beautiful, so charming. So lethal. No, he’ll want to say. Of course not.

    But it’s been a long time since Adrian has known his brother, and he can’t say anything for certain.
