Why This Must Be Read: Johanna and Finnick flirt with rebellion, and learn that the Capitol has teeth. Oh, my god. This fic is so well written, and the premise gives you chills but you can't look away. It enraptures you. Johanna gets called for the so-called "duty" that Snow foists upon her after she becomes a victor, and the friendship that springs up with Finnick is wonderful and deep and honest, and my personal canon. It isn't a true romance/pairing fic, because Finnick and Johanna truly see each other as just best friends. But the way the Capital tugs and pulls at them - oh, just read it. It's really good.
