Moves & Countermoves (Part 18)
Prologue | One | Two | Three | Four | Five | Six | Seven | Eight | Nine | Ten | Eleven | Twelve | Thirteen | Fourteen | Fifteen | Sixteen | Seventeen
The room is silent, save for the children’s breathing and their own. Haymitch knows his wife is awake, as she toys softly with his fingers, draped over her waist.
It’s been two days since the propo, from eight, aired in the districts. There’s been riots in several of them.
“Katniss wants to go back to twelve.” Y/N tells him. “Show Peeta what Snow did to it.”
Haymitch sighs, “I figured.”
“After his last interview with Caesar…” she breaks off, “they’re gonna kill him, Haymitch. They’re gonna starve him, torture him to death.”
“We don’t know that.”
“You saw him, it’s only been a few weeks.” 
Haymitch settles a hand over her heart, soothing the ache. “Beetee’s working on getting into the Capitol’s communications system. Once he’s in, they’ll play one of your propos and people will be storming the mansion.”
“He can’t get past his own design.” Y/N shakes her head.
“He will,” Haymitch whispers, “give it time.”
“I don’t know what to do,” she mumbles. “I can’t just keep sitting here while he’s suffering.”
“I wish I had some divine wisdom to give you.” Haymitch tells her. “I can make something up. Or I can be honest; say that I’m here and I won’t leave. I will support whatever you decide and advise you as best I can. But right now there’s nothing else you can do.”
It is honest and raw, a truthfulness he’s so often shielded her from. It feels different. It feels good. “Thank you, for being honest.”
“From here on out, that’s how it’ll be.”
The words land like blows to her gut. “You still love me though?”
“I’ll always love you.” Haymitch says, without hesitation. “You didn’t always make it easy, but never once did I stop loving you. You’re it for me.”
She wriggles farther against him, melting into his arms with a smile. “I love you forever, Haymitch.”
“Mommy,” Arista’s little voice sounds, from the corner. “You’re talking in your sleep again.”
“No, baby. I’m talking to Daddy.”
“Can I talk too?” Arista perks up.
Haymitch chuckles, “come on. But you have to be quiet, your brother and sister are sleeping.”
Eventually sleep claims them all.
Y/N wakes in a tangle of arms and legs. Both of their older children have joined them.
Daisy begins to fuss, she needs to be changed and she’s hungry. So Y/N pries herself away, tending the baby and settling against the pillows of Everest’s empty bed to nurse her. She wails when Y/N pauses, mid feeding, to switch her to the opposite breast.
“I know,” Y/N cooes, “life’s hard, huh?”
Daisy pops open an eye to glare at her, as if she understands. Then latches on with a content sigh and stops kicking her little legs.
Y/N strokes a finger over the infant’s cheek. Unbidden tears well up in her eyes, swiped away before they fall. It is a blessing and a curse, to have pieces of your heart live outside your body.
When it comes time for breakfast, the five of them go together. They sit and try to enjoy this moment, enjoy their time together. Y/N and Haymitch walk Everest and Arista to school, in the lower levels.
The children introduce their parents to the few friends they’ve made. Only six other children reside here in thirteen, not including their own, or Prim. She’s working down in the hospital these days. Childhood has fleeted her.
Orders come, it’s time for Y/N to load up with Katniss and the others on the hovercraft. Haymitch walks her to the loading dock, Daisy sleeping in the wrap, against his chest.
“Soldier Abernathy,” Boggs greets her. “Glad you could join us.” He wasn’t thrilled with her performance in district eight. Following the mockingjay into harm’s way, without a second thought. Though she acted erratically, he sees now, there is no safer place for Katniss than by her side.
“Boggs,” she nods, in return. Then gives her husband a proper goodbye.
Haymitch smiles into the kiss. It is not hungry or desperate, but sweet, calming even.
“I’ll see you for dinner.” She waves as they separate.
“I’ll see you.”
————————————————————————
They break for lunch, after filming a propo in twelve. It’s mostly Gale, recounting what happened after Y/N’s warning was received.
Everything is gone, save for bones and rubble of what they once called home. The houses in Victor’s Village still stand, preserved from the attack. Y/N passes through her front door.
She ventures to Arista’s closet, opening one of the tubs at the bottom, full of clothing that no longer fits. The ones they saved, just in case. A white footed onesie that Everest and Arista wore as infants should be there. Eventually she gives up looking, it must’ve been moved. Perhaps something Haymitch dug out, in preparation and forgot to mention.
Y/N closes the door to Arista’s room, catching a whiff of something sweet, floral, from down the hallway. The room they’d hardly touched, meant for Daisy. She pushes the door open, the crib is assembled, the bedding in place, surrounded by a bed of crisp, white, roses. Lying against the mattress is the missing outfit.
Forever tainted by this memory. She takes it anyway, holding the soft fabric to her chest. It no longer smells of her sweet babies, or the soap she used to clean the onesie once they outgrew it.
Stuffing it into her bag to wash, Y/N takes their pictures, the baby books, as much as she can carry. She may never be back here, their memories are too important to lose.
When she meets Katniss and the others, down at the quarry, she’s not in the mood for small talk. Y/N takes a seat on the rocks, and chokes down her rations.
“What’s that?” Cressida nods toward the fabric peeking out of Y/N’s bag.
“Oh, it’s just um,” Y/N tucks it back in, “nothing.”
The director smiles. “Can I see?”
Y/N takes a deep breath, “sure.” She pulls the garment free, holding it up for inspection. “I’ve had it since my son was born, my oldest daughter wore it too, so I figured-”
“Did you make it?”
“No.” Y/N lowers her gaze, “it was someone else.”
“Where are they now?” Cressida wonders.
“I don’t know,” Y/N lifts a shoulder. “I don’t know if they’re even alive, or…” dead. “Either way I don’t think we’ll see each other again.”
Cressida nods, “it smells like the Capitol.”
“Reeks,” Y/N agrees, “needs to be washed.”
————————————————————————
“Are you, are you, coming to the tree? Wear a necklace of hope, side by side with me.”
“That line used to be necklace of rope,” Plutarch informs the viewing room, as the newest propo of Katniss singing in district twelve, plays over the large screen. “I had it changed to necklace of hope.”
“Ah,” Haymitch raises his cup to the gamemaker. It’s full of nothing but water, still it feels familiar to have there. “You are a true wordsmith.”
“It’s a little on the nose, but of course, so is war.” Plutarch smiles.
“Every district is seeing this?” President Coin asks.
Gale’s message is strong, redeeming on Y/N’s behalf. It’s enough to win over the districts, without breaking whatever ties she holds with citizens of the Capitol.
“Yes, but not the Capitol.” Beetee frowns, “we’ll get there.”
Y/N nods. There was no time between supper with the kids and being called to this meeting in command.
Haymitch doesn’t know about the crib or the outfit, but he picked up the scent of roses from her bag. He knows something is off.
They are dismissed after a time. Again they wait, walking hand in hand to their living quarters. Haymitch moves for the touchpad to open the doors.
“Wait,” Y/N stops him. “There’s something I need to tell you…about the house. It’s still there.”
“I figured.” She wouldn’t have come back with things from inside if it was burnt to ash.
“Snow had the crib moved into Daisy’s room. He took the onesie Vanity made out of Arista’s closet and left it there.”
“That’s why it smells like that?”
“Yeah, the nursery was full of roses.”
“He doesn’t know,” Haymitch realizes.
“Know what?”
“If he knew her name was Daisy, he would’ve left daisies instead. He would want us to know that he knows. He’s fishing for information he doesn’t have.” Haymitch knows this game.
“So what do we do?” Y/N asks, turning worried eyes to her husband.
“We’re getting through to the districts, Y/N. We just have to wait him out.”
————————————————————————
Peeta’s final interview with Caesar does not air in the mess hall, like the others. Only higher ups in the command center are granted access. Y/N leaves the children with Madge. Rushing to meet Haymitch once the message reaches her.
The boy she once knew is broken, hollow. His eyes haunted by the horrors inflicted upon him. His voice trembles over each word. Oh, Peeta.
“Are you, are you, coming to the tree? Where they strung up a man, they say who murdered three.”
The image of Katniss cuts through his own.
“Katniss?” Peeta stammers, searching for her.
“He sees it.” Coin rejoices, “he sees our propo.”
“Katniss, are you there?”
Y/N moves closer to Haymitch, searching for his hand and finds it inching toward hers.
“Peeta.” Katniss whispers, a hand held to her belly as she crowds the screen. Desperate to offer a comfort she cannot give. I’m here.
“Peeta, please continue.” Caesar redirects him. “You were telling us about these savage attacks.”
Peeta nods, his thoughts clouded. Perhaps he had been seeing things, just imagining Katniss; the sound of her voice. “The attack on the dam was a callous and inhuman act of destruction.”
“The dead man called out…for his love to flee.”
Peeta sees her again, sitting up at the edge of his chair. He knows what he has to do. Even if they kill him for it. “Think about it. How will this end? What will be left? No one can survive this. No one is safe now. Not here in the Capitol, not in any of the districts.” He pauses, mustering the courage. “They’re coming, Katniss. They’re gonna kill everyone. And in district thirteen you’ll be dead by morning-”
The blow of Snow’s cane sends blood spattering across the screen. His features twisted in anger.
“That was a warning,” Haymitch says. President Coin is dense, he needs to be sure she understands.
Y/N rushes to Katniss, turning her away.
“They’re gonna kill him.” Katniss cries. “We have to get him out.”
“Shh,” Y/N hushes her. “We’re gonna get him.” She believes what she’s saying, she has to.
“Can you see anything?” Coin asks the patrol operator.
“Nothing on Doppler.”
“He was in the mansion, he could’ve overheard something.” The president reasons.
“Possibly,” Plutarch agrees.
“He wouldn’t just make it up,” Y/N snaps.
Alma mulls it over for a moment, “it’s time for an air raid drill.”
The alarms sound, immediately. “This is a code red alert, please remain calm and follow evacuation protocol. Proceed in an orderly fashion to the nearest stairwell and descend to level forty. Blast doors will be sealed in six minutes.”
Y/N is still holding Katniss as Haymitch closes the distance between them. “Take Katniss and I’ll meet you there.”
“Haymitch, no.” Y/N shakes her head. “I wanna come with you.”
Haymitch turns to Katniss, “Prim and your mom are down at the hospital, right?”
Katniss nods, tears welled up in her eyes and she cannot speak.
“Good, they’ll be waiting for you.” One less thing to worry about.
“Haymitch,” Y/N says again.
“Getting to Madge and the kids will take longer with three of us and you know it.” He’ll have to fight his way up through a crowd of people rushing down. “I need you to trust me.”
“I-” she wants to argue, but there’s no time. She has to trust him. “Ok.”
‘If you love something, you set it free or some bullshit like that.’
The furrow of his brow softens. The words come easier now, in the panic and the shouting; at the thought of losing her. “I love you.”
“I love you.” Y/N and Katniss go left, hands clasped together.
Haymitch turns right; and they lose each other in a sea of strangers.

Falling Slowly-JHsgf82 (ao3) Summary: Modern AU. Meet-Cute. Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark keep running into each other everywhere they go; it's gotta be more than coincidence, right? As they learn more about one another, they discover a mutual love for music and begin to fall in love with each other. When opportunity comes calling, will they take it? Or will they be content with a life and a family together? Feel the Beat, Always-JHsgf82 (ao3) Summary: AU. Based on Feel the Beat (Netflix 2020). After dancer Katniss fudges up her shot at a big Broadaway production and is evicted from her New York City apartment, she moves back to her small hometown for a while.

When Katniss discovers who the celebrity judge of the dance competition is, she agrees to teach the young girls all she knows and hopefully, take them all the way.

Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity...Congeniality?-JHsgf82 (ao3) Summary: AU. Crossover. F.B.I. Agent Katniss Everdeen isn't exactly Miss Congeniality, but she's damn good at her job. If only the rest of the Bureau could see that, especially her tough-as-nails, by-the-book boss, Deputy Director Boggs, who sees her as nothing more than a screw-up. But when she goes rogue, she's just following her instincts and saving lives, not disobeying orders (not exactly). Katniss's good friend at the Bureau, Agent Peeta Mellark, on the other hand, can do no wrong; he's Boggs' Golden Boy. But she doesn't hold a grudge. If only he'd stop showing her up, and of course, flirting and casually dating right under her nose. No, she's not jealous. So what if she feels funny when he looks at her with that stupid, handsome face and bright blue eyes and smiles at her with that ridiculous boyish grin?

maybe my favorite song ever is the dock boggs version of "the bright sunny south" it kills me every time. "dear mother, dear mother for me do not weep, for a mother's kind voice I forever will keep, you have taught me to be brave from boy to a man and I'm going in defense of our own native land." a second would be "the warfare is a raging" which I heard on some random comp of traditional music. from the perspective of a woman whose boyfriend or husband is going to war and, again, it just kills me. "the warfare is a raging and Johnny you must fight, I want to be with you from morning til night, I want to be with you that's what grieves my heart so, oh can I come with you? 'no my love, no.'" and then later in the song she says something like "I'll cover my hair and men's clothing I'll put on, and I'll go marching with you as you go marching on, as you go marching on that's what grieves my heart so, oh can I come with you? 'no my love, no.'" it kills me.

In 1952, Folkways Records released Anthology of American Folk Music, which prompted tremendous interest in the raw, rural sounds of the banjo. The Anthology was a set of six long-playing records that compiled eighty-four songs initially released on old-time and race record lines in the 1920s and 30s. The collection became popular with urban college students and inspired many young musicians, including Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Jerry Garcia.
Realizing the recordings were made only a few decades earlier, disciples of the Anthology began seeking out some of the performers. Old-time banjo players Clarence Ashley and Dock Boggs enjoyed new opportunities to record and perform on stage at folk festivals, coffeehouses, and college campuses.
