The Sound Of The Woman Who Loved Her | Katniss Everdeen
Pairing: Katniss Everdeen x fem!reader (District11!reader)
Summary: Katniss needed to survive her games no matter the cost. So the new Capitol's darling does come in handy.
Warning/s: angst, betrayal, using someone for your own benefit, Capitol elite, kind of evil!Katniss, one sided love, lying, short fic (this is more like a blurb, honestly), possible grammar and spelling mistakes
Author's note: I can't edit the asks after I save them, so I copied the request like this. I'm dumb, sorry. 😅
Request: @f4riedimples -> I just rlly need Katniss admitting that she started out the relationship using (District 11) reader. Like say reader got treated like capitol after winning her games so after Katniss came back from the 74th they started dating. And just a night before the quarter quell she admitted that she used r?🤌
You were one of the unfortunate, unlucky, people of Panem. Being chosen for your games at 15 wasn't something that you ever wished for anyone including yourself.
But it seemed like your luck started to turn around as you won your games.
People that lived in the Capitol adored you. A young jewel from District 11. As you grew up so did the love of the Capitol's elite for you. You didn't like it one bit, but it did give you some advantages. Just like some disadvantages.
Katniss went into her games a year after you, so you were both 16 at the time. She was lucky she made it out, everyone agreed with that. But just as you got a little taste of luck in your life, everything started to shift around once you met the girl on fire from District 12.
She was desperate. Katniss new that. Since the year you won your games nobody ever stopped talking about you. You were the hot topic on everybody's tongue.
So when Katniss started her Victor's Tour and she realized in just how much trouble she was in, giving the spark of hope during her games, she knew that her family, friends and her needed protection. She was willing to do anything for it. No matter the cost.
Katniss Everdeen heard about you, how could she not? A shiny jewel from 11 that somehow ended up being treated as if she was from Capitol. As if she was one of them. She knew that if she had you not even president Snow, to whom you had become very indenting because of the love his granddaughter had for you, could bring any harm to her family.
She could remember that day as if was yesterday. You were standing behind her, looking gorgeous as ever. She still didn't truly understand how she pulled that act off. But by the end of the month you were officially her girlfriend.
Katniss noticed, as the time passed, that she gained more respect amongst the Capitol elite and for a moment it seemed as if they treated her as almost an equal, too.
Everything was going amazingly up until another party at the Capitol at which she was invited as your guest.
Perhaps it was her lack of self awareness.
Perhaps it was her idiocy at that moment.
Perhaps it was her recklessness.
Perhaps it was too much alcohol that she drank in hopes of drowning the everlasting guilt in the pit of her stomach that grew every single day.
Or perhaps it was the fact that she didn't love you like you loved her. She didn't love you at all. She only loved the benefits that came to her on a silver plate since she was dating you.
"Katniss," your angelic voice that usually sounded like the sweetest song caused by a bunch of little bells now, to her drunk mind, sounded piercing as it reached her ears. "Are you all right?"
"Y-ye-yeah." She slurred and felt herself flinch a little bit. She sounded just like Haymitch did when he drowned himself in alcohol all day back in District 12.
At that moment she noticed that she overdid it, and worst of all, you noticed it, too.
"I think it's time to call it quits," You offered her in, what almost was, a quiet whisper. "Hmm? How about I take you back to the penthouse?"
"N-no," Katniss drunkenly waved you off. "I'm f-fine."
"Katniss," You couldn't help but to let out a sigh that somehow escaped past your lips that were unnatural red color caused by some expensive Capitol's lipstick. "I'm just worried that-"
"Oh, you worry so much don't you!" Katniss snarled at you because, thankfully, she still had half the mind to know that if anyone heard you, you both would be in big trouble.
"Katniss, I love you and I just want to help-"
"Well guess what?" Katniss hissed, grabbing another glass that contained some sort of shiny liquid. "I don't love you."
Your world stopped for a moment as you froze, listening to her. You couldn't believe what was coming out of her mouth. You couldn't believe that this is the person you fell for. The person that you grew to know and love. But now, as you watched her and listened to her speak... perhaps you didn't know her at all.
"I don't love you at all!" She continued to mindlessly whisper to you, not caring about the amount hurt that she caused you at that moment. "I never loved you. But God..." she sighed for a moment, looking at the ground before she looked up at the night sky. "You were truly a jewel. So easy to use. So easy to manipulate into loving me even though I don't feel the same at all."
You were frozen. Nothing existed to you at that moment except for her, her words and one loose tear that rolled down your face as she whispered what you actually ment to her.
"Snow's precious victor. Capitol's little jewel..." she continued to rant, somehow not slurring anymore. "I despise you so much, but at least I got something useful from you. Useful. That's all you have ever been to me."
At that moment Katniss looked up, but you were gone. She would perhaps feel a bit bad about it the next day, she could easily say that she was drugged or something else caused her to say such lies. But they weren't lies and you knew it.
But there was something that Katniss didn't realize at the moment, but will later on.
She will never truly escape the sound of the woman who loved her.

So I’m pretty firmly against the idea that Madge was associated with any sort of organized rebel force in 12—though I would agree she and her family have anti-Capitol sentiments—because of the books’ emphasis in highlighting that Madge’s strength was a silent strength.
I think the main reason Madge gave Katniss the pin was because she cared about Katniss and wanted Katniss to know that, in the event of her death, she really cared about her and valued their relationship. I also wonder, though, if maybe Madge had a double motive. I wonder if part of the reason she insisted on giving Katniss the pin was because she knew Haymitch would recognize it.
Obviously, the books don’t say Haymitch and Madge know each other, but I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that they do. But even if they don’t know each other on a personal level, Madge knew he would see the pin and know that someone in Maysilee’s family gave it to Katniss. Katniss matters to them, enough for them to give her this object that holds such a profound amount of emotional weight. Perhaps Madge hoped this would embolden him to try and get Katniss home; to save the girl with the pin this time when he couldn’t before.
