i have a headcanon about johanna and effie in the capitol prisons and i want you to read it. we all agree that johanna stood in front of effie always. she took the beatings, she fought them off and effie hated herself for being too scared in the moment to stand up for her. johanna was always brave too, she wouldn’t cry, she would shout and swear and spit in their faces. effie hated how crass she was but she envied her fire. effie took her fair share of beatings, she was strapped to tables and put through things she wouldn’t even conceive in her darkest nightmares. but she would cry. she would beg them to stop and the shame of it burned hot in her veins. johanna didn’t do that. johanna would never. however, sometimes, when they’d tortured johanna almost to the point of death, when they threw her back in the cell boneless and barely conscious, she would cry. she would curl up into a ball where she landed and she would sob so hard it would hurt her even more. when this happened, effie would go over, lay on the ground and press herself to johannas back. she would hum happy songs into her hair and hold her very tightly. they both pretended this didn’t happen.

when they’re both in thirteen johanna has some kind of ptsd episode and she’s lashing out and kicking and screaming when effie walks in. there are several soldiers pinning her to the ground and someone tried to hurry effie out the room but she ignores them and slips around to soldiers to press herself to johanna’s back again. she hums a happy song to her and she stops thrashing. effie holds her while she cries, and when she’s done they both get up and pretend it didn’t happen.
