Blind And Able To Follow Her. Wow!

Blind and able to follow her. Wow!

(insp)

When you give a family heirloom to your best female friend to inspire her to fight for her life, kiss her on the cheek, play piano for her, and help her get info on the Capitol through your father’s political connections, and you hear that Haymitch Abernathy is telling people you have a crush on Gale:

field trips through the years with the mellark children because @rosegardeninwinter put me into a mood and this ended up much longer than intended oops

Willow Mellark is four the first time her preschool class is led outside of their colorful brick building and told to prepare for an adventure.

She squints her eyes against the bright morning sun, surveying her surroundings carefully. Mama tells her it’s important to always be aware of what’s around you. Her eyes land on the faded mural flanking the sides of the school’s entrance; a dandelion field, with children of all ages zooming through the yellow blooms. Papa painted this, she remembers. A long time ago. Before mama even had any babies.

A hand curling around her back shakes her from her thoughts and she snaps her head up. “Mama!”

“Are you excited for your field trip, love?”

She crinkles her nose. “I don’t want to go to a field. Can we go back inside and read a story?”

Katniss merely laughs, grabbing her daughter’s hand to follow the rest of the group.

After a few minutes of walking, a familiar storefront comes into view with its dark green facade and large picture windows showcasing various cakes. Willow points her fingers and shrieks excitedly. “It’s Papa’s store! Mama, can we go say hi?”

Her mother smiles down at her. “Of course we can.”

Just in case anyone is looking for more canonverse New Year’s reading fodder and doesn’t mind reading pairings other than/in addition to Everlark, here’s my New Year’s content in chronological order: 

True North (young Mr. Everdeen/Mrs. Mellark, nods to young Mr. Mellark/Mrs. Everdeen)

When the Moon - Ch 11 (Everlark, Pollux/Lavinia)

Torchlight (Marko/Prim, Mr. Mellark/Mrs. Everdeen)

When the Moon - Chs 12-13 (Everlark, Pollux/Lavinia)

Six Months to Strawberry Time - Chs 1-2 (Gale/Madge, Marko/Prim, nods to Mr. Mellark/Mrs. Everdeen and Mr. Everdeen/Mrs. Mellark)

All but the first are technically set in the WtMooniverse, but that’s still canon Panem (diverging at the reaping for the 74th Games, but that hasn’t substantially shifted the culture of that world as yet). 

Thanks and Happy New Year. ♥
