latest upload: bittersweet symphony chapter 6. it’s finally here! chapter six of a multi-chapter Haymitch x tribute! reader story featuring looooots of angst & a pretend relationship
coming next: chapter seven of bittersweet symphony in june. when the sun hits, a fwb Haymitch x best friend! reader oneshot that showcases a darker side of Haymitch and a messy, complicated relationship also in june.
ugh, I just remembered that sweet, sweet period of time in between vol1 and vol2 of season 5 ... the field scene was EVERYWHERE as was the Sorcerer scene (for good reason!), people were analyzing Robin's speech, the Never be the same edit was everywhere, we were speculating about what would happen in vol2 (and coming up with far better storylines than whatever slop we got served), and in general we were just so fucking hopeful ...
like, this was THE time to be a Byler and Byler out with the fandom (granted, I've only been a somewhat active Byler fan since early fall of last year, but I've been lurking since the dark days of 2019, and that 4 week period was it if you ask me)
... life was good and we really could've had it all
GASP!!! i’m so so so so excited for next chapter!! i’ve been thinking about those two a lotttt 💓💓 i still replay the kiss scene in my mind all the time
as someone who’s also struggling through exam season and (finally) finishing her degree, i wish you all the luck!! and take your time, we’ll be here for (hopefully) a lot of summer updates 🤭🫶
hi anon, thank you so much for reaching out!! <3
thank you so much for your wishes! I also wish you all the luck, go and get that degree! <3
also, are you the same anon who reached out after I've uploaded chapter six & who asked me about their first kiss? If you want to, you could do an emoji anon thing (like always starting or ending your asks with a specific emoji) , so I know that it's you! but only if you want to, of course!
also, I felt like sharing another little snippet from chapter seven with you, so here we go :)
You’re so caught up in all the horrible, gruesome scenarios your anxious mind keeps coming up with that you almost miss the faint cough coming from Haymitch. But then his grey eyes find yours, and for just this moment, your mind stops spinning.
„S-sorry Princess“, Haymitch says, coughing weakly, „probably not my best look.“
„You idiot!“
Your hand moves of its own accord, faintly punching Haymitch in the shoulder, before your mind has caught up with the movement. Haymitch winces, and your lips are already forming an apology, but then he grins crookedly, causing you to glare at him.
„Haymitch, you can’t - you can’t just do something like that, I-“
You can feel your throat closing up. Your eyes are filling with tears, threatening to spill.
„You’re such an idiot, Haymitch“, you whisper, your voice strained, as you throw your arms around Haymitch, hugging him to you.
“There might be another option, though”, he says hesitantly. “I don’t know whether it’ll work, and you’re sure as hell not going to like it, Princess.”
You sigh, trying to brace yourself for the worst. “Just tell me.”
He laughs dryly, avoiding your gaze. “Well, we could get - you could marry me.”
Or: Eleven years after the second Quarter Quell, Haymitch Abernathy’s life takes a sudden turn for the unexpected when your name is drawn in the Reaping.
After weathering through a less than ideal start, you slowly start to realize that there’s more to Haymitch than just the drunk, cynical recluse you’ve always known him to be. And though he’d never wanted it to happen, Haymitch starts to feel the walls he’d built to keep everyone away crumbling whenever he’s around you as well.
But the Capitol, and especially President Snow is always watching, and soon enough Haymitch finds himself faced with an impossible choice …
contents & t.w.: mentions of canon-typical violence; angst!!, arranged marriage; slow-burn with a sprinkle of enemies to lovers; age gap! (Haymitch is in his late twenties, Reader is 18 at the start of the story); mentions & discussions of alcoholism; eventual smut in later parts; spoilers for SotR, minor original characters (mainly reader‘s father & two younger brothers and her best friend - while these characters will get some pagetime, the main focus of this story will absolutely be the relationship between Haymitch and reader!); mentions and discussions of grief, trauma and death
I try my best not to mention detailed descriptions of reader's physical appearance, but please lmk if I missed something!( though I can't resist reader having long enough hair for someone else (who could it be lol) to tuck strands of it behind her ear)

another little self-reblog to say that I've shared a little teaser for chapter seven!!
sorry that I've been MIA lately, but uni (and finishing my degree) has been extremely stressful during the last few weeks. Fortunately though, I finally have more writing time again and I've finally started writing chapter seven. I don't want to make any promises as to when I'll be able to finish it, but right now I'm aiming for a (late) June update & maybe I'll follow that up with chapter eight on Haymitch's birthday, but we'll have to see about that ...
Hi there! No mean to rush you, but just wondering if chapter 7 of bitersweet (probably spelt that wrong) harmony is coming out soon? Just asking cause I love it so much and was waiting all of may and was a bit confused! If not, don't worry, take your time, I mean, excellence takes time! K baiiiii!
Hi anon, thank you so much for reaching out!
sorry that I've been so MIA lately, but uni was super super stressful these last few weeks. However, I finally have time for writing again and I've already started working on chapter seven of bittersweet symphony! I'm going to share a teeny tiny teaser for the next chapter below :)

☆ finding magic | F.
⤷ the quarters in district 13 weren’t much—gray walls, stiff bedding, and a distinct lack of anything that could be called personal. everything was practical, assigned, and strictly regulated, from the meals to the uniforms to the way time itself seemed to tick by in rigid blocks. but somehow, you had made it feel like home.
@ssweeterthanfiction ——————————
☆ someday, one day | F.
⤷ a crush on your big brother’s best friend
I see so many people arguing about which couple(mostly booktok) owns the ‘knife to the throat’ trope and there are a lot of iconic ones but to me it’s just clato I’m so sorry
