    Summary

    As she tries to rebuild her fractured life from the ashes, Katniss starts to question everything she thought she knew about love. Her relationship with Peeta had been a performance dictated by necessity, by survival, by what Snow had wanted the world to see. But now, with the dust settling, she starts to feel something else. Something that sneaks up on her in shared silences and sharp words, and reluctant cups of hot chocolate.
    And for the first time, her heart pulls in a direction no one scripted. Not toward Peeta. Toward Haymitch. Gruff, bitter, infuriating Haymitch, who somehow knows her better than anyone, maybe even better than she knows herself.
    But maybe, just maybe, he needs her, too.

    A post-revolution slow-burn Hayniss tale.
