“Sir. Free. Sex.”

Geez, I don’t know if to laugh to cry.

Woah, I love the complicated character of his father! He’s spoken only a handful of sentences, but I feel like he already has such a deep personality that has a lot of meaning to Finnick

Brooooo, this is so good! The style is very fitting, and your writing is seriously quality—which I appreciate more than you might imagine. Loving it so far

Wow, wow and wow again!
This story just took me by storm. I was swept away under the force of your Finnick and how very true to his character he felt.
You've truly managed to capture his essence - his devotion, his disgust with the capitol, his personas. I was awed with how You've built the world before the rebellion, and how it came to be.
Thank you for such an amazing story!

Hiiii, so a little late huh?anyway wanted to let you know that this story is beautifully written. Would love to see a part two where they continue traveling and then later announce Finnicks survival to, at least Katniss

I honestly loved this story. I loved how it explained how Finnick loved Annie even though she was considered “mad” and I loved how you’ve captured the personality of Finnick. My favorite parts are in the middle between the phase of Finnick meeting Annie all the way up to the quarter quell. I also love that you chose to save Finnick rather than let him die in the sewer sequence. I always hated how Finnick died a couple of weeks/months after regaining Annie. Thank you for writing such an amazing story.

Really, you should make some money off this. This is the best fanfic I've ever read

This is the BEST fan fiction I have ever read. If you haven't all ready, could you do a Johanna Mason story?
I would really like to see one of those:) Thanks

Wow! This story was incredible; at some point I caught up to the story in Catching Fire, and as I was rereading it, I kind of read them side by side, and the parallel is very well done, even exact lines. It definitely agree that Finnick (also my favorite) deserved a better fate, and his death never really made sense or had a point. Really awesome writing, I loved reading this, and I was hooked the whole time. Great job!

This is an incredible story! I just finished reading it and I think it is the perfect addition to the Hunger Games trilogy. You should publish this properly, it's amazing!
I totally agree about Finnick's death. With most of the characters, their death is written on the page and you know that its the end of their story. But I definitely think Finnick's story was not complete and he deserved a happy ending as much as Katniss and Peeta deserved theirs.
Keep on writing!

Amazing written chapter. Finnick is my favourite character in Hunger Games, I'm looking forward to reading your interpretation of him. I'm so glad I found this, thanks for writing!

Hi! I know this story is several years old, but it was so good that I'm reviewing anyway!

I re-watched Catching Fire recently, and I thought hm, I'd wonder what Finnick's life was like before the Games (of course, I had read the series when the books first came out, but since they were from Katniss' perspective I didn't know much about Finnick). Needless to say, this fic was exactly what I was looking for. I love how you kept it as close to the books as possible but still expanded on things that weren't really addressed. And oh, how I wish this was Finnick's ending. (Maybe it is like you said and he's secretly alive. One can only dream.)

Thank you for sharing this story with us!

Oh my god. I spent an entire day reading this and I could not tear my eyes away from this story. I’ve already reread it and I’m looking forward to reading it again. The author makes the characters seem so real that I forgot some of them aren’t part of the original Hunger Games, and I got attached to all of them. I feel like this should be part of the actual series, it’s that good. To the author, thank you so much for spending countless hours making this because it’s absolutely amazing.

Let me just say I loved this story. I can't imagine the effort it took to write this. Thank you for your time. As a stay at home dad, I keep myself busy writing for the occasional blog and I could never come up with anything like this. You have a talent, thank you for sharing it.
