Hello, folks. Just one fic for this week, but it's a good one:Title: Nightly
Author: All.Makebelieve
Summary: Haymitch/Effie drabble. - "She'd feel his lips on her forehead, and she'd hear a ragged voice whisper, 'I'm here, sweetheart.'"
My Recommendation:
To find words to describe "Nightly", I'm going to need a thesaurus.
This Fanfiction brings the "Hurt/Comfort" genre-label on Fanfiction to a different level. Flashbacks that explain the present (and fill in some plot-holes of Mockingjay!) are integrated flawlessly, and always loop back around to what's going on "now". (And those flashbacks are nothing short of brilliant.) The style is unique and fascinating: you feel as if you're being shown just one scene in the "present" time, but it's really sort of showing a routine in story form.
Even more so, the night was always the same, as if her mind ran on a schedule.
That sort of illustrates the point.
Emotion, in this drabble, doesn't have to be told; it's just there, a part of every word. The same thing can be said for the romance.
Overall, "Nightly" is highly, highly recommended - a wonderful piece of work, with careful layers of different genres all tied in.
That's all for this post--more next week!
