Hi!!! Do you have any pre-reaping fic recs? Preferably canon compliant!
Btw ty for your work on this blog!!!
Sorry for the longer wait! Hopefully, these are new fics to you and fit the vibe you were going for! I tried to find Pre-THG works that would have still led to the canon events but they may not exactly fit
He wouldn't do anything-Deb1989 (ao3)
Summary: The men of the Mellark family had a cruel fate, at least he and his father: infatuated with women of the Everdeen family.
Home sweet… home?-0liveleaf2 (ao3)
Summary: My brothers’ curious eyes meet mine before hastily glancing elsewhere. Sometimes, I wish they would intervene, but I can’t blame them, I never intervene either. But this time felt different, as my mother’s fist collides with my eye, an unfamiliar lump forms in my throat and tears prick my eyes.
