The beef between Haymitch and Snow is so funny. The way Haymitch drank an entire pitcher of milk just so Snow wouldn't get any, so Snow kept supplying him milk throughout his entire stay in the Capitol after his victory... bro what are you doing you're the president of Panemđ

Birthdays were supposed to be a fun and special day. They were supposed to be a day all about you and spending the day how you wanted. Usually it was spent with friends and family who loved you as they celebrated you getting older. There was typically cake and presents and singing that stupid song. Ever since the Battle of Hogwarts, birthdays have taken a sadder turn for George Weasley.
April 1st used to be the best day of the year in Georgeâs eyes. Not only was it a day dedicated to jokes and pranks, but it was also the day he and his best friend got to celebrate another year of growing up but never maturing. In their younger years, they spent their birthday doing what they loved, causing mischief. One year they spent the whole day squawking like a bird at every hour; it was one of the more harmless years. On their first birthday after owning the joke shop, everything was a disaster. Well, it was for any poor soul that entered the shop with their guard down. Patrons left with bubblegum pink hair, duck bills for noses, temporarily in love with obscure objects, and even some believed they were invisible when they were in fact very visible.
Georgeâs first birthday after Fred died was one of the worst days of his life, second to only the day he lost his brother. The family walked on eggshells and made the mistake of trying to celebrate. When his mother brought out the cake after dinner, he stormed out of the room before she could even set the homemade dessert on the table. You followed him all the way up to the roof, the place he always went to be alone or away from everyone but you. He sat there crying and you held him, rubbing his back but saying nothing; there was nothing you could say to ease his pain.
âI never want to celebrate my birthday ever again Y/N. I donât want any cakes or presents or stupid songs. I donât want anyone to even mention it.â He choked out as he sobbed into his hands.
âYour mom was just trying to do something nice. I donât think she knew it would hurt this much.âÂ
âI know but I donât want anything. Promise me the end of the birthdays starts here.â
You didnât want to promise but you could see how much he needed this. âI promise.âÂ
You had been dating George since your Hogwarts years and you saw the pain everyone went through in the past year. You also saw how differently everyone reacted to the grief. Molly was liable to burst into tears every few minutes while Arthur threw himself into his tinkering with muggle items. Bill and Charlie spent a lot more time at home, doing things for their parents just to try and give them a break. Ron started helping George at the joke shop and he threw himself into the work there; he was a lot like his father much to his horror. Ginny spent a lot of time with George. She wasnât supposed to have favorite brothers but Fred and George easily were her favorites. As for Percy, he still blamed himself for the death of his brother and spent most of his time hating himself. George didnât know what to do. Everything he ever did, Fred was right there with him and he didnât know how to function without his other half.
George no longer lived above the joke shop and instead he lived in a small apartment with you. The mirrors were covered with paper and all reflective surfaces were hidden as best as you could. He couldnât stand to see himself because all he could see was Fred.
---
Since then, George had gotten his way and he hadnât had a birthday celebration for the past few years. The only time it was even mentioned was when someone asked how old he was. Other than that, no one spoke about April 1st. This year George was turning 25 and after discussing with Molly many times, you decided not to ignore his birthday this time.
You were terrified that he would be upset that you went against his wishes but 25 was quite a big deal. He was officially going to be in his mid 20s and that deserved a celebration. George deserved a day where the people that loved him showed him how much he meant to them. Ginny, who had also been in on your plans, suggested for this first year of breaking the no birthday promise it was just you who celebrated. If the whole family suddenly ignored Georgeâs wishes, he would probably feel betrayed. Not to mention out of everyone, he was more likely to be alright with his partner doing something special for him.
You spent all of February trying to think of something small enough to make sure he wouldnât be upset but something big and special enough to warrant breaking this promise. Unlike the first few birthdays you celebrated with him as a couple, candy wouldnât cut it this time. Soon February passed and before you knew it, it was the middle of March and you only had a couple weeks to go. You had to think of something fast
The answer came to you late at night one day in March. While George had been working late at the shop, you spent a lot of time stress cleaning the apartment and going through boxes. Wrapped up in old sweaters that didnât fit anymore was your camera. It had been a gift to your parents your first year of Hogwarts and while you were no professional photographer, you spent all of your years in school taking pictures.
Ginny once mentioned to you a gift Hagrid had given Harry his first year. Hagrid spent months contacting anyone that knew James and Lily to try and get photos to make a photo album for Harry. Ginny said he still had it and has been adding to it; he added pictures of the people that meant a lot to him and especially pictures of things he wished his parents had been around to see. Almost all of the pictures you had taken since you were 11 included Fred and George. That was what you would give George.
When George came home that night, it was horrible trying not to tell him but you knew if he knew, he would tell you not to bother. Despite your efforts, he knew right away something was up. As he climbed into bed he took one look at your face and frowned. âWhat are you so worried about?â Curse him for being so observant.
âNothing. I just hope you're not overworking yourself.â Before he could question you further, you kissed his cheek and rolled over, shutting off the light.

That morning as soon as he left for work, you began searching through more and more boxes of your things. Some pictures were hung up when you lived above the store but since moving, George didnât want many pictures hung up at all. Tucked away in the closet was a small box with âpicturesâ written on the side. âBingo.â
As soon as you opened the box you had tears in your eyes. Right on top was a picture you had taken of the boys the day they bought the building. It was pretty worn down and needed quite a bit of work but Fred and George stood in front of the door, arms thrown around each other with wide smiles. As the picture moved, Fred and George turned to look over their shoulder at the building and gave each other a high five.
The next photo was much older and if you had to guess, Fred and George were only 12 or 13 in this picture. They were on the Quidditch Pitch, soaking wet and covered in mud but they couldnât be happier. The boys had just tried out for the beater positions on the Gryffindor team and despite slipping and falling many times, they made the team. In the picture after only a second of smiling, Fred hip checked George and sent him flying into a mud puddle, landing right on his butt. Fred laughed until George kicked him on the back of the knee and made him fall face first into the mud next to him. The picture didnât catch it but you remember after Fred got to his knees, the twins started wrestling and it took three people to separate them. Neither was mad at the other but more so they couldnât stand to be outdone by their twin.
Many pictures were similar to those. One was taken of the twins while in detention with you. How you snuck the camera into the dungeons you couldnât remember but the picture of Fred pretending to be Snape while George laughed and the real Snape rounded the corner was priceless. Another was taken when poor Ron had first started Hogwarts. You told the first year you simply wanted a photo of him and George to send home to his mother when in reality, Fred was behind him holding a fake spider. The picture captured the terror on Ronâs face as the toy came into his field of view while Fred and George rolled on the floor laughing.
Perhaps one of your favorites was taken during the Yule Ball. Katie Bell managed to take a picture of you and George slow dancing while Fred and Lee Jordan tried to do the worm in the background. Neither of them were very good and Fred wormed his way under Malfoyâs legs and sent the blonde crashing to the floor.
You had even a few pictures of the whole family. At Bill and Fleurâs wedding before the Death Eaters came, you gathered the whole Weasley clan and shoved everyone together to take a picture. Harry, disguised as a random Weasley cousin, and Hermione were included. The picture captured George coaxing you into frame with him as Remus took the camera from you. You squeezed in between Fred and George as your boys wrapped their arms around you.
There were many others, some far more normal than others but most of them George had never seen. After taking them, the pictures made their way into your trunk and never came out until after you had gone home. Besides, George always claimed he would never need to see them as he and Fred would continue to make more memories as they aged.
The last picture in the box was of them was the night George lost his ear. Fred had never been the serious type but seeing his twin brother lying on the couch drenched in his own blood changed something. All of you, but mostly Fred, realized no one was invincible. Fred pulled you aside and asked you to take a picture of them as soon as George was able to sit up and didnât look too beat up. It was a moment you would never forget.
âI just need a picture of us Y/N. Seeing George there on the couch like that⌠I need something of us. This is a war and thereâs no guarantee that both of us will make it. If that happens and he dies,â Fred rubbed his eyes with his sleeve and took a deep breath, âI need some reminder of him and I together in case.â
You grabbed his hand and gave it a small squeeze. âOf course Freddie.â
An hour later it was just the three of you awake and George was feeling well enough to sit up and drink some water. Fred sat next to him on the couch and glanced over at you. âGeorge, I want to take a picture.â
âNow? Iâm still a little crusty and my bandage needs to be changed.â George sat the glass of water on the ground and carefully turned his head to look at his twin. âMaybe we can wait until tomorrow so I can clean up a bit?â
Fred shook his head and beckoned you over. âNo way. I donât want to wait for this one. Please?â
With a confused glance at you, George shrugged and wrapped his arm around Fredâs shoulders. âMake sure you get my good side.â He said with a small laugh as he turned to show off his one remaining ear.
The boys smiled for the photo but Fred looked like he was holding back tears. You took a second one and held back your own tears as Fred pulled George in for a hug. âLove ya Georgie.â
âLove you too Freddie.â
Over the next couple of weeks you spent any time George was in the shop working on his present. You spent countless hours arranging the pictures into the photo album and adding little notes next to each one. You tried your best to remember the year it was taken so the book was in some sort of order.
Along with the photos, you went through your old notebooks and various other scraps of paper that you had saved. On so many of them the twins had written notes in the margins. On one note page, the boys were having a written conversation about their plans for a store. They had no reason to write it on your paper except for the fact that they felt like it. While in school, it used to bother you when they would mess around and write notes or doodle on your papers but now, you were beyond grateful for these dumb little messages.
You took the notebook page and added it to the book next to the picture of the boys in front of their shop. On the next you stuck in the page with the rather horrible self portrait Fred had drawn.
There were more than a few times you had to catch your falling tears so they wouldnât ruin the pictures but finally after weeks, it was done.

On the morning of his birthday, George laid in bed well past the normal time he usually woke up. Ron had been the only one working at the store on Georgeâs birthday for the past few years. At first George refused but as more and more people talked about April Foolâs Day, he relented and let Ron take over. When George finally emerged from the bedroom, he went straight to the couch and sat next to you. He didnât say anything for a while until he finally turned to look at you. âWhatâs for breakfast?â
âI can make some eggs.â You gave him a quick peck on the lips before you went to the kitchen, preparing to make his breakfast.
On the coffee table you left the photo album which you had wrapped and added a small tag with his name on it. âY/N? What is this?â He stared at the box as if he was expecting it to come alive and bite him.
âItâs just a little something for you. Why donât you open it?â
George sighed and grabbed the box, moving into the kitchen with you. âI thought I said I didnât want birthdays anymore. What happened to that promise?â At first you thought maybe he was hurt by your action but he just looked drained.
You set the uncracked eggs on the counter and put your hand over his. âI know you did but youâre 25 and I think youâll like this one.â When he didnât move to open the gift, you crossed your arms over your chest. âGeorge, humor me just this time. If you hate it and still want nothing to do with birthdays then this will be the last mention of it, I swear.â
Satisfied with your terms, George carefully tore off the paper and opened the box. âYou broke my promise to get me a book?â The cover of the album was just a simple brown leather with nothing to indicate what was on the inside.
âOpen the book.â
Following your instructions, George flipped open to the first page and froze. He stared at the picture while 11-year-old Fred and George smiled up at him. George didnât move for a long time and just when you were starting to get worried, he flipped to the next page. He watched that one for a while too before he moved on to the next. He did this until he got to the last picture. He watched as Fred in the picture hugged him and he read the words written below the picture as Fred mouthed them. âLove ya Georgie.â
Without a word George moved next to you and wrapped his arms around you and pulled you into his chest, burying his head in your shoulder. George held you tight as sobs tore through him. âI miss him so much. I wish he was here.â
âI do too.â You rubbed his back as he continued to cry. Once his sobs finally turned into sniffles, you slowly moved his head off of your shoulder so you could look him in the eyes. âGeorge, why donât you want to celebrate your birthdays?â
He sighed and used his sleeve to wipe his eyes, just like Fred always did. âIt feels wrong to do anything without him, especially this.â George wasnât sure how to articulate what he was feeling for years until this moment. âWe used to do everything together and I donât know how to do anything without him.â
âOh George.â You pulled him in for another hug, running your fingers through his hair. âFred wouldnât want this. He would want you to be happy and love your life and cause enough mischief for the both of you. He would want you to celebrate your birthday, not pretend it doesnât happen.â
âI know but why does it all feel so wrong?â
âBecause heâs not where you can see him. Heâs here and heâs with you every day in everything you do but you canât see him. You canât hear his laugh and itâs horrible but George, he is here. I see him in your smile and I hear him in your jokes and not just because youâre identical. I know itâs hard but I promise you, he would want you to be happy. Itâs ok to try the things you did together without him.â This time George pulled his own head away so he could look at you as you brushed the hair out of his eyes and kissed his cheek.
âIâll try.â That was all you could ever ask of him. âThank you for the book and for caring enough to break your promise. I love you.â
âI love you too George.â He kissed you softly and as you pulled away, you smiled. âIs it too early to invite the whole family over to celebrate?â
George smiled and nodded. âA bit. Letâs just get through this year and then we can talk about bringing everyone else.â
It would be a few years until George was ready to celebrate his birthday with everyone else again but when his mom brought out the cake and everyone sang that stupid song, he could have sworn Fred was right there with him.

You know what would have been a great ending for Finnick?
The mutts viciously attack him in the sewers. It looks like he's not gonna make it, but Katniss and Peeta refuse to leave him behind.
He's done so much to save them and look out for them and they know what happens to people who are left behind. But GALE (FUCKING GALE) goes all soldier and shuts the door on him, claiming he's too far gone.
Then, either during the bombing or slightly before they're arguing with Gale. Peeta looks like himself again, kind and determined to save his friends. It's familiar to Katniss. As they argue, they see a man hole cover open and who emerges bloody and battered? Finnick.
OR they find him at Snows mansion because the Mutts didn't kill him. They dragged him back all the way through the sewers to return Snows Toy.
Finnick is alive but BADLY scarred. On his chest, arms, face. Maybe even missing a finger or two. One of his eyes has gone a little cloudy and a streak of his hair haa turned a platnium white from the fear and trauma.
Finally, they're all safe. Haymitch makes a joke about "what's it like not being pretty anymore? No better than the rest of us."
Katniss later apologisea for this joke but Finnick tells her he's right.
"My body has never been my own. The capital had always had final say. They took away every scar and blemish. All the nicks I'd ever gotten from learning how to make hooks. Every callous in my hands, every scratch they left down my back.
I know it's bad, people can't stop staring at me, but hey, I'm used to that, right?... I was afraid of what Annie might think, but I know she still loves me. And if looking like this means that she's the only person who will ever want to touch me again, then it's a blessing.
We're free, Katniss."
I think Finnick having his "beauty taken away" by scars and wounds is something he would find so comforting. His beauty had been a curse, but now he has agency again.
