   Summary

   As Finnick once said, 'It takes ten times as long to put yourself back together as it does to fall apart.' we had three books breaking them, and one paragraph of them healing?

   I really really love the books so so much! But did not have time for their story at the end, so hopefully I can finish this. M rated, because it's the Hunger Games. Long-ish chapters, like 4,000 words. I already did another one of these, but I felt it did not fit right. So I'm doing it again. But you could check that out!

   I don't post with a strict schedule and I write when I can. Comments and Kudos always appreciated.

   Also, English isn't actually my first language, not that it truly matters at this point, and I use British English spelling. So if any grammar or spelling confuses you, it'll be that.

   As you already know, all the characters and their trauma belong to the amazing Suzanne Collins.
