The Hunger Games: Where the Vines Cling Crimson by ghostie

FANDOM: The Hunger Games
FIC LINK: Where the Vines Cling Crimson
AUTHOR LINK: [archiveofourown.org profile] ghostie
RATING/WARNING(S): Teen +
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete / 1402 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Rue and Foxface

FIC SUMMARY: As you step through a hole in the fence you can almost hear the roar of the crowds, the wet choke of tendons snapping, the clink of blood dripping onto dark leaves.

There is no blood now, only flowers.


RECCER'S NOTES: This fic is just so haunting. The fairy tale-esque voice matches the premise of the fic perfectly, and it's an amazing example of just how effective second person can be when executed well. It's creepy as hell, which comes from the exact right mix of the horrible things that happen in canon and the supernatural elements added by the author.
