I wrote this long before Ashton and Fearne became A Thing, pinky promise!!
This old fic of mine has been getting a lot more attention lately, which is odd considering I posted it a year and a half ago, but I’m not gonna complain!! I’m still very proud of this one honestly, it’s by no means perfect and there are plenty of things I would change if I had written this more recently, but even still, for a 6.6k word, almost entirely fluff, fanfic? It does it’s job well, and I’m proud of it
Anyway. I’m reposting it again because it’s been getting a lot more attention. If it continues to get more and more attention, maybe I’ll start writing and posting again <3

Just some hcs re her og games
Johanna's name is called and her world goes white. A peacekeeper has to pull her onstage and I personally see Jo's "image" as her plain dissociating through the entire process. It never really stopped. She was 3 months from being 18.
Aspen Ridley, who at 16 was already working with the best of their district's lumberjacks, is called next and he goes for the opposite. He aims for brawn but years later Johanna will just see a veneer of it over terror. They never get along and she never quite mourns him. It is very complicated.
The idea of playing meek came to her when she heard Aspen telling Blight he wanted to work alone. It made everything more "real" and that she was alone. Why not use it to her advantages?
The interview with Caesar was bad. She barely speaks louder than a mumble and when Caesar tries to prod her about her family she clams up and ends up walking off stage.
Aspen goes to court careers, she keeps to herself, and their fates seem sealed when he gets a 9 and she a 2 after faking being incapable of throwing an axe. They cheer to Aspen and Johanna goes up to her room. The two tributes never speak again.
The Cornucopia was infamous because there was barely any supplies besides weapons. It ended up being one of the goriest bloodbaths in the game's history as people picked up on something was up.
Aesthetic was a large redwood forest with massive trees. Quickly people learned the twist as the forest itself was rotted with the water having a metallic taste and the few animals weak and starving. Any food taken from them not worth whatever was lost hunting them. Once whatever came from the cornucopia was gone that was it.
Johanna's first kill was a D6 male who she bumped into a few days into the competition while looking for food and water. It was a very her or him moment and well, it was her. She took his supplies and realized then what they expected them to do.
Next a D4 boy who fell asleep under her tree one night. His scream alerted Careers to her and she barely got away with her life and only a 1/3 of hid things. Aspen promised to hunt her and kill her but himself is killed after failing to do so...Johanna was only a few feet away. He did track her down. She stole his axe.
Next is a girl from 11 ; she's getting better. She starts to trail the Careers staying to the trees picking off what she could.
Blight sends her nothing as he realizes that if she wants to play this stealthy then he can't risk a supply drop giving her away...not to mention removing her desperation to survive that is making her kill.
End game a crater splits the arena and forces her and the girl from 2 to confront each other. It is a brutal and quickly turns into a hand to hand deseprate fight to survive. She breaks one of Johanna's ribs and Johanna manages to end it with a rock.
For it, they wrap her in leather and rebrand her; Johanna Mason, Victor.
