Hey, thanks for the question!
🔎 What detail(s) in the story are you particularly captivated with? Is there any behind the scenes info or backstory?
There are a few details in Fire in the Sky, but most of them haven't had their pay off yet, which is why I won't reveal them. (Although my dms are always open if anyone wants to ask, I love to yap about my fic!)
There's the whole graffiti subplot, but if you've read the fic, you know that one has already been revealed. I hinted at who the culprit was veeery subtly, but nobody truly guessed it.
Another one that I felt very strongly about is this one, set in Katniss' old house in the Seam:
But there's an essence of home to this place that the new house will never have. The notches in the door frame where my father tracked our growth. I kept them going for Prim as she grew, after he died.
[...]
“Katniss”, he says, the tone in his voice a bit exasperated, but there’s a hint of amusement in it. He is inspecting the door frame, his fingertip brushes the top notch. I can’t see it from here, but I know what I wrote next to it. Prim, age 12. “I like it.”
It's kind of in the text, but I still confirmed it later on, when I posted Peeta's POV of that chapter:
I look around the room, now that I can see better, and notice the notches in the door frame. The highest one reads Prim, Age 12. I can tell it’s her handwriting. We spent so many hours over that plant book, I would recognise it anywhere. But there are no notches with her name above the age of 11. So she kept them going for Prim, but there was nobody there to make new ones for her.
I have quite a few more of these little pieces of foreshadowing planted, andone of them will finally come to fruition next chapter!
Thanks so much for playing!
