#hayfie

Scenario where Effie can’t settle into the new Panem government because she was too involved in the games to hold any substantial power and is seen as too much of a rebel sympathizer to stay in anywhere Capitol-heavy so she joins everyone in D12. Please believe me that this does totally happen.

Reason:

a few months after haymitch, katniss and peeta go back to 12, effie realizes she’s no longer happy in the capitol so she goes to 12 to move in with haymitch. it would take her awhile to adjust to living there, but she would slowly get used to it. effie’s style would change to something less capitol-y and i imagine she’d wear dresses inspired by older dress designs (like the 50s-60s maybe) with pretty colors and patterns on them. she would also tone down her makeup to be more natural looking but she would definitely add a pop of color. Her blonde hair would have streaks of white in it after she stopped dying it, and she would wear in fancy braids, buns, curl it, ect…Her skin would become freckled after being outside with haymitch and the geese, (which she hated at first, but they made haymitch happy so that was all that mattered.) She would start to find happiness in the little things, like watching the sunrise on the front porch with haymitch after a night of not being able to sleep, or having lunch out by the lake with katniss and peeta, and then pretending to be mad at haymitch when he throws her in the water. She found herself again with them. Because they were a team. They were a family.
