    Summary

    "Need anything else, Odair?”

    “As a matter of fact, I do, Abernathy, we have both had a busy few weeks. I think we can buy your kids a year.“

    Haymitch’s breath caught in his throat. He had gotten drunk and worried about them while they were both unconscious in recovery with a handful of other mentors. Haymitch didn’t think Finnick had been there. “How?”

    “Well, when the capital hasn’t been in need of me, I’ve been making calls and visits to other floors. Your kids have something and none of us have had before: a surviving partner from their arena. We want to give them a chance to learn each other’s bodies before the president demands them."

    Or, why the Capitol does not get to buy Katniss and Peeta between the 74th-75th games: victor solidarity

    Summary

    Haymitch meets the Victor of the 59th Hunger Games during her victory tour. The way the Capitol is drooling over her makes him feel sick, and this leads to a drunken argument with Effie.

    One night in Haymitch's mind, 9 years after his Games.

    !!! Please note: Lots of references to the forced prostitution/ sex trafficking the Victors face, including underage victors !!! It does not feature so it's not in archive warnings. Mild Hayffie but mostly (and could be read solely as) platonic.

    Summary

    “Burdock,” Haymitch says, still unsure if this is real or not. It’s been decades since they last spoke. Their final interaction had few words, with Burdock saying as little to him as possible after showing Haymitch where Lenore Dove had been buried.

    “I thought you were supposed to be visiting her,” is the first thing Haymitch thinks to say.

    Burdock, who is still catching his breath, scowls. “We just finished. I told Asterid to take Prim back to the house.”

    Haymitch frowns. “How was it?”

    Burdock glares at him. “Like I’m sending my baby girl off to be slaughtered on live TV.”

    Haymitch, unsure of what to say to that, only coughs.

    or, in an alternate world where Burdock survived the mine explosion, he and Haymitch have a talk after Katniss' Reaping.

    Summary

    “See how great of a team we could be if you… cut back… every once in a while?”
    Haymitch winced a bit at that comment. He knew there was no real malice there, never from Effie, but it didn’t stop the guilt from creeping in.
    Effie spotted the wince and frowned slightly, looking up at him. “I am curious though, what did make you cut back this year? You seem… more like yourself. What changed?”

    --

    A missing scene from before the 74th Hunger Games started, where Haymitch tells Effie about his past.

    Summary

    In a world where Maysilee is crowned Victor, Haymitchs loved one's must come to terms with the fact that their golden retriever lover boy is no longer in this world. They struggle with this.

    So far we have Burdock and Lenore Dove's initial reactions, in future, Maysilee, Sid and potentially Willamae will get chapters, plus a funeral chapter :D

    Summary

    Peeta had barely begun to step forward when Haymitch grabbed him from behind.

    “I volunteer as tribute,” came his gruff voice, echoing across the silent square.

    In a second everything changed. Peeta's even heartbeats exploded forward like the Capitals trains, Effie squeaked in shock, the crowd gasped, but none of it mattered. Because Katniss was smiling. Not the sweet fake smile she gave Snow, not the soft smile he had seen her give Prim, but a proud smile. The smile she’d worn when she’d drugged him in the first Games so she could go to the feast. The smile of a plan accomplished.

    “No!”

    Summary

    Haymitch meets Effie's teary eyes and knows she is hoping for his name. He might be offended if the alternative wasn't Peeta returning to the arena. Even with the planned rescue, the risks are too high.

    Effie's hand hesitates between the two slips of paper. She almost takes one, then grabs the other and unfolds it. Her voice cracks as she says, "The male tribute from District Twelve is Peeta Mellark."

    And Haymitch breathes relief because for once, the odds are in his favor. He steps forward before Peeta can move. "I volunteer."

    Summary

    On the seventy-fifth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that even the strongest among them cannot overcome the power of the Capitol, the male and female tributes will be taken from those who have already survived a Reaping.

    It comes as a relief to know that there will at least be one less tribute this year. District 12 has only one surviving victor. Rue doesn't understand President Snow's careful choice of words until later, when she's on a train barreling towards the Capitol, back into the Games. She watches the recap in her cabin, sees Haymitch Abernathy step up when his name is called, and then her heart stops because there is Katniss's sister standing beside him. "Those who have already survived a Reaping." It was because of Katniss that Primrose survived her reaping, and Katniss who sacrificed herself so that Rue could live. What will either of them do now without her?

    Summary

    Effie quickly strode back towards the microphone and read the name. "Declan Abernathy!"

    Haymitch felt his whole body stiffen and his breathing sped up. This couldn't be a coincidence, could it? Or maybe it was. He didn't have time to think about it. Without waiting another second, he started to move with fast strides. He didn't say anything, but everyone moved out of his way without question. In his periphery, he could see Peeta following in his step, but he didn't acknowledge him.

    He reached the center path before Declan had even reached the row of sixteen-year-olds. "Shall I wait for the official protocol to be called, or can I just volunteer?" he called out, aiming his words straight at Metal, staring her in the eyes from where he stood. "I could also wait if you wish me to, but personally, I'd rather be past it if you don't mind."

    OR

    Haymitch Abernathy isn't just Katniss Everdeen's mentor, but her fellow tribute in the 74th Hunger Games. Two volunteers from District 12, each saving their own sibling.

    Summary

    "I've never had a strawberry," she says quietly. "Daddy said he would try to get me some for my birthday. He said that they'd be covered in chocolate. But he's dead." Not for the first time, Haymitch wishes he were someone else. Someone who would know how to respond to what Katniss just said. Someone who, currently, wasn't trying to figure out if the nausea building up in his throat was from his new situation or the hangover that he'd ignored because of it. Someone like Burdock.

    "I could get you strawberries and chocolate for your birthday," Haymitch says. 

    She tears her eyes away from the table, and once again, her cool grey eyes meet his. She nods slowly. In a whisper so low he has to strain his ears to hear her, she says "You're not my daddy."

    His throat closes, and he thinks he feels tears sting his eyes. Haymitch runs a hand through his long hair and lets out a shaky breath. "I know. But I'm here," he responds.

     OR

    AU where Katniss is five when both her parents die, leaving her and Prim with no other choice but to live with Haymitch.

    Summary

    “And one more thing,” Dean Highbottom cuts through Coriolanus’s thoughts. “This year we will be implementing a new monitoring system that will ensure the mentors are able to more closely follow their tributes’ progress in the arena.” His gaze cuts sideways and Coriolanus feels a chill as it settles unerringly on him. “Something a little more personal.”

    What? A nervous buzz travels through the students. What on earth could that mean?

    “Dr. Gaul and I have…collaborated…on a neural networking device that will allow the mentors to be physically aware of their tribute’s wellbeing as you prepare them for the arena. And after.” Highbottom tips his head speculatively. “Tests indicate that this should only be minimally painful.”

    --

    Coryo gets saddled with a psychic link to his tribute, proving once and for all that if you can't produce your own understanding of the inherent worth of other human beings, store bought is fine.

    Summary

    As the title suggests, a series of unrelated fics that take place between the end of Mockingjay and the Mockingjay Epilogue, but with everything (flashback of the PAIN Suzanne Collins put us through) from Sunrise on the Reaping playing a big role.

    These are all Haymitch-centric, at least for now; so far they are all also character studies, and plots focus on Haymitch's dynamic with Katniss and Peeta. There's some mild hurt/comfort, and many, many internal monologues of a depressing variety which I enjoy writing perhaps a little more than I strictly should.

    Hope you like it!

    Something in him shrivels. He has enough to do today; he's trying to focus on keeping Katniss alive. He looks up anyways, because he's a hopeless, loving fool. But this time, this time-

    His fork clatters to the table. He freezes. He knows, somewhere out there, watching him, Snow is laughing.

    Summary

    While Haymitch is recovering from the injuries he suffered during his Games, he considers the drug pump in his chest a blessing. At least it takes away the pain and dampens his horror.

    After his injuries are healed, though, he discovers that helping him recover was only part of the pump’s purpose. The Capitol continues using it to keep him in check, like they did with Lou Lou. And, furthering the similarities between her and him, the Capitol also took the liberty of implanting an audio transmitter in his ear. Their surveillance of him is far from over.

    He has made himself an enemy of the Capitol and will be treated as such.

    (In which Haymitch scares the Capitol a bit too much during his Games, and the Capitol takes measures to make sure he will never defy them again.)

    Summary

    Haymitch felt confident that this was another punishment dictated by Snow. How many names in that bowl were Burdock’s? Was it all of them? He felt an overwhelming urge to find out. It would be easy. All he had to do was knock the bowl on the ground and watch it break into a million pieces, the Capitol’s regime shattering with it as everyone realized that there were no odds to be in favor of. The outcome of the Games was manipulated from the start.

    or

    When Haymitch first wakes up on the day of the reaping, his only goal is to make it through his first year as a mentor without falling apart. After his former best friend is selected to be that year's male tribute, however, his goal becomes to stop the 51st Hunger Games before they even begin.
