#otp: loosen your corset and have a drink

[jessicawhitlys]

i'd live and die for moments that we stole

The ring that dangles from the thin chain around Effie’s neck catches the light as she moves, and Haymitch’s matching one is cool against his chest. Eight years. Eight years since the private toasting they’d shared at his hearth, Briony Everdeen and her husband as their witnesses. Eight years since Effie had agreed to be his wife, despite the potential consequences. or simply put, the 'Haymitch and Effie have been married The Whole Time' AU.

all of me changed like midnight (all the love we unravel)

“Good evening. This is President Paylor,” the figure on the screen announces, and Effie feels anxiety prickle across her skin at the formality of the woman’s voice. Hardwired to worry about the worst, her shoulders tense, and it is only Katniss’s hand on hers, loosening her fingers from where they had begun to gouge into her palm, that forces her to relax. “Tonight, I bring a formal announce on a decision the council and I have made, for the better of the entirety of Panem. To strength us as a nation.” “I don’t like the sound of that,” Katniss frowns, and her grip on Effie’s hand tightens. It did not matter how many years had passed since the Games- always, their first instinct was to presume the worst.

A Haymitch/Effie + Katniss/Peeta marriage law au, with minor Gale/Madge and Annie/Jo. Rated E. Chapter one.

evergreen.

Upon arrival in District 13 and undergoing their required medical scan, Effie learns she's pregnant. Unable to stomach the idea of losing Haymitch if she tells him the truth, she hides it from him, which has its own set of consequences. A Mockingjay AU set within District 13.

Fandom: The Hunger Games

Rating: T

Pairing: Haymitch Abernathy/Effie Trinket

Summary: “I see. They believe 15 is the age to begin teaching about Panem’s past,” Effie lets out an inelegant snort, and Haymitch’s face darkens.

“Doesn’t change the fact that Poppy and I are nothing more than part of a plan to repopulate the country,” Hera snipes, and Haymitch feels the way Effie flinches beside him at the words.

or, Effie and Haymitch sit their daughters down to explain some things about Panem in the years following the Rebellion.

Notes: It's been a number of years since I touched THG fic, but I've been toying with marriage laws fic- and I wanted to write a little something dealing with the aftereffects of one, because I wholeheartedly believe some kind of law would have come to be in Panem post-Rebellion, even if it was eventually dissolved. Also, I just really love Hera and Poppy Abernathy. Title is from Glitter in the Air by P!nk.
