So I'm a little late to the party on this, but I just wanted to let you know that after I finished reading this, I literally wailed aloud. Thank god the coffee shop I work at was empty, because I don't think I would have been able to stop myself. Actual tears, actual wailing.

Probably my favorite moment (out of the many thousand I could choose from) was when Thresh asked Foxface how he'd find her sister, followed closely by District Five's gift of bread. I love it when people come together, when people show what they can do *for* each other and not against each other. Basically the whole scene with Thresh and Foxface was brilliant.

I could go on and on, but I won't. Just know that this is one of my favorite fics ever, in any fandom. Well done.

Aaaand I just realized that Thresh wasn't talking about Foxface's sister when he asked "How will I find her?" Reading comprehension, I have none when weeping, apparently. Either way, #9 is still my favorite section. Sunflowers on her eyes. Amazing.

WOw.
Just wow.
What a clever, well thought of AU. Wow. I love this fic! I would never have thought to write Thresh and Rue winning and Rue becoming the Mockingjay.
Peeta and Katniss dying was sooo sad though. I liked the bits where you put in what's happening in other districts and that rebellions were starting all over.
This is great stuff!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you reading and commenting. :)

This basically destroyed me jsyk. I love this so much I can't even describe it.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you reading and commenting. :)

oh my Godddd this is so beautiful.

Katniss curls closer to Peeta, the wound in her stomach ripping open and red blood flowing like a crushed rose over the dark of her tunic, and the last thing Katniss or Peeta do is smile against the other’s mouth.

I want to leave an essay comment saying how much I love this, but I'm just speechless.

Finnick's parts break my heart, especially that implication that the Capitol people want Rue to win so they can...do that to her. it makes me want to throw up too. And what Foxface did - :'(

“What do you wish, Rue?” Peeta asks softly, coaxing her along. He knows that she doesn’t understand yet what’s happening. Katniss does, though, and kisses his cheek. Thank you.

“I wish we could be friends when we’re old,” Rue whispers.

I love the whole part where Katniss says things to Peeta through her kisses and strokes of her fingers. That's how I picture their love - beyond words.

and the parts when Rue wishes that they could grow old together...*CRYING FOREVER*

I just love this so much and I still have to leave a comment on your Five Desserts fic (I want to marry that, omg). You're just such an amazing writer.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you reading and commenting. :) This comment is really lovely and I REALLY appreciate you quoting the bits you liked best!
