Why this must be read:
This is another of the 'what if' fics that I talked about early on, based on the premise that Katniss does not kill Coin, but sticks to the plan of killing Snow, and they go ahead with the Hunger Games choosing all Capitol children.jacyevans has fantastic writing style, paints an extremely compelling portrait even of characters that are hard to like, is smart as all get out about how this scenario would play out, and somehow manages to end the story with the same kind of hope that Collins' imbued her ending with.
The reaping is broadcasted live to every household in Panem, twenty-six children from the Capitol between the ages of twelve and eighteen, to remind those in power that they will be held accountable for the crimes they have committed against the districts. There is no prize for the victor, no house in a Victor’s Village or promise of wealth and glory.
They are allowed to live. That is enough.
The last name pulled from the reaping ball brings a smirk to Johanna’s lips. “Skylark Snow,” Coin calls out into the crowd, and it’s absolutely impossible to miss the satisfaction she takes in watching the former President’s granddaughter walk slowly to an almost certain doom.
Annie and Beetee look on in silence, but Johanna shares in Coin’s sadistic glee, lips pulling into a smile.
“May the odds be ever in your favor,” Johanna sings sweetly as young Skylark takes the stage. She watches the girl’s eyes widen with fear and hatred, cackles loudly and maniacally even as Plutarch has her removed.
