#otp: loosen your corset and have a drink

[bradfordchens]

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.

hEY KIDS we're revisiting THIS sketch

leave me alone i really ship it and i hated the original sketch mainly cause haymitch's torso/legs were ALL WRONG this is still off but it's better so

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.

chapter one now posted!

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.

heYYY doodles and junk

"they shoulda just called him 'sarcasm-man' jesus christ"

“Yes,” hisses Effie Trinket. “How odd you two find it amusing. you know your mentor is your lifeline to the world in these Games. The one who advises you, lines up your sponsors, and dictates the presentation of any gifts. Haymitch can well be the difference between your life and your death!” Just then, Haymitch staggers into the compartment. “I miss supper?” he says in a slurred voice. Then he vomits all over the expensive carpet and falls in the mess.  “So laugh away!” says Effie Trinket. She hops in her pointy shoes around the pool of vomit and flees the room.

What does Effie Trinket look like with her hair down? (and/or with her wig off?)
