i'm something else when i see you

pairing: alma greene/mason word count: 560 rating: M; language and hints of spice at the end. note: i missed them 😌

The text came through minutes ago.

"Back from the airport in one piece! See you guys tomorrow?"

Not a text, really. An announcement, in Unit Bravo's group chat. It wasn't meant for Mason, specifically, but he's here at her door like a stray dog waiting to be fed.

He knocks, two quick thuds, and props himself against the frame of the door in the most fuckable pose he can manage.

It's been two weeks since they've hooked up. Two weeks since he's put his dick in more than his own hand. And sure, he could've created opportunities with one of the townies, but he's got a good thing going with Alma. His restraint is only going to make this reunion better for both of them.

He hears her milling around the apartment and knows exactly where she is by the familiar rhythm of her heart. She's not making her way to the door.

He knocks again, louder this time. And goddammit, this pose is stupid. He doesn't need to impress her. He opts to shove his hands in the pockets of his jacket. A casual slouch will do.

Half a minute later and Alma's steps shift in his direction. A little too fast.

"The fuck is knocking at this—"

If she finishes that sentence, he doesn't catch it.

Sight, smell, sound, even taste: Alma envelops his senses as soon as the door is open.

She's dressed in some god-awful sci-fi reference t-shirt, fuzzy socks, and a pair of his black briefs forgotten in some lonely corner of her apartment. He's not mad about it, they look good on her. She's fresh out of the shower, smelling like almond oil and sunflower, and her damp hair bleeds into her shirt. His mouth fills with the sweetness of the products she's doused in, but she's there under all of it, on his tongue.

At the sight of him, her heart races, and his own seems to match its pace. Shit.

"Mason."

Her lips seem to form the word in slow motion, and he could live in the space of her vowels. Two weeks without her voice (dandelion yellow, honey, sunshine in a sound and especially when she's calling him sunshine) and he wasn't prepared for his name to fall out of her mouth.

"Hey," he manages after a beat.

He could say he's just here to make sure her place is safe. A quick perimeter check.

Before he can say anything, she tugs him in by his jacket (rougher than she's ever handled him and the shiver that sends through his chest is something he can't ignore) and closes the door.

She stretches up to kiss him and now all the sensory bases are covered. Touch, and the low rumble of the tv drowns out to nothing. Touch and it makes sense why he doesn't want anyone else to touch him like this anymore. Touch and now he understands what it is to miss someone, but he feels it in the past tense.

He missed her, and she's here now.

They try to make it to the bedroom, undressing on the way. They must bang into every wall in the place. Perimeter check.

They settle on the wall just outside her bedroom door. Alma even reaches for the doorknob. But his mouth travels down her chest and it's forgotten.

"I missed you," she breathes as he slides his underwear down her legs.

Mason tells her the truth on his knees. "You too."

so excited for the tbosas movie!!!! hoping to include those characters in these hunger games tweets a little more in the future

[bramblrose]

“What must it be like, I wonder, to live in a world where food appears at the press of a button? How would I spend the hours I now commit to combing the woods for sustenance if it were so easy to come by? What do they do all day, these people in the Capitol, besides decorating their bodies and waiting around for a new shipment of tributes to rill in and die for their entertainment?”

Hunger Games

Against The Odds ↣ The Hunger Games fanfiction

She'd lost everybody she'd ever cared about. Katniss was the only family she had left. If Katniss died, she would follow. Two broken souls scarred with the wounds from their demons, playing a dangerous game of trust and love.

There is just one catch. If she embarks on this treacherous journey would she be able to handle the unlocked truths that could shatter the fragile balance of her world.

PROLOGUE

Chapter 1

[heavensbeehall]

"Mockingjay", Chapter 26

Part 3: The Assassin

Chapter 26: Paylor is still there. Katniss takes her rose and internally debates whether Snow is lying or not. She notes that most people she would trust with this matter are dead (Cinna, Boggs, Finnick and Prim). Peeta wouldn't know, and she can't ask Gale. So she turns to Haymitch. She goes to his room and throws water on him (like in CF!) but he hurts her feelings and she flees. The next day, she is bathed when once again Octavia yells "surprise!" The Preps have arrived (just like in CF!) and so has Effie (who we have not seen since CF). Then Gale who doesn't know if it was his and Beetee's bomb. Coin calls the meeting of the remaining Victors. Katniss votes yes and Haymitch votes "with the Mockingjay." Katniss shoots Coin.

-- Last chapter I didn't discuss the fact that Paylor's people (presumably from 8) were the ones to imprison Snow. Do we think that means they captured him? That they were the rebels on the front line? I am curious as to how many soldiers from 13 actually did anything. Certainly those in Squad 451 did. I just wonder if Coin held her troops back so they wouldn't be the ones risking as much since 13 is supposed to be small.

-- RIP to Lyme who must have died sometime between her appearance in 2 and here, or she would be at the meeting. I hope she died in some glorious battle. I imagine the people of 2 really respect military victories and it would suck if she just choked on a corn chip or something.

Children are precious to 13, or so it has always seemed. Well, not me, maybe. Once I had outlived my usefulness, I was expendable. Although I think it's been a long time since I've been considered a child in this war. 

But while I think Haymitch might gamble with my life in the arena, I don't think he'd rat me out to Coin.

One thing I have noticed in this reread is that Haymitch and Katniss are not tattletales. He eats her dinner when he first shows up and she says she's going to report him but doesn't, she doesn't report Johanna for stealing her drugs, so this reads as a bit of an acknowledgement of how similar they are.

“They say Plutarch and Haymitch had a hard time keeping her alive,” comments Venia under her breath. “She was imprisoned after your escape, so that helps.”

Effie is back. I wonder if she was held wherever Enobaria was held? It says all the Victors are wearing 13 jumpsuits which doesn't really make sense? Enobaria was never in 13 as far as we know. I guess Coin is making everyone wear them now? We should kill her for that alone. I don't look good in a jumpsuit; I'm too petite.

Lisa Snart's victory in the Fifty-Sixth Annual Hunger Games was only the beginning....

A sequel to "Cold Fire", that ridiculously long Flash/Hunger Games crossover I wrote.

It was supposed to be a short follow-up.

And it ended up being 30,000 words long.
