Victor, Mentor, Mockingjay: Mutts: The rebels managed to do the impossible. They broke the arena. They got Katniss Everdeen, their Mockingjay out alive! But they left behind Peeta Mellark, and they are about to realize what a crucial mistake that might just be!
In the aftermath of the Quell our Victors are left to pick up the pieces of all they've had stolen from them. To force themselves to live and fight another day. To lean on the few remaining people they can trust in this snake den of vipers set on manipulating them, on remaking them, on turning them into pieces on the chessboard of this entirely new game they have no choice but to play. // A Mentor!Everlark Rewrite of Mockingjay
Those too stiff District 13 boots carry me up every step, down the hall, and straight to a very specific threshold. I push the door open and step inside. All breath flees my lungs because…because he's everywhere. In the faint smell of cinnamon and wood I've become so fond of. In the careful way his bed is made, just like always. In the haphazard stack of sketchbooks on his dresser. The leather case of fine pencils I gifted him for his birthday, left reverently on top. Before I know it, I'm all the way across the room. Shoving every notebook I can into my bag. I ignore the flying paws attacking my hands as I do and the ones that don't fit I force into the deep pockets of my father's jacket. I can't leave them behind. These precious bits and pieces of Peeta's heart and mind can't be condemned to this graveyard of ash and misery.
