Bravo, am amazing story till the end. This story had me all over the place. My emotions were crazy, I wanted scream, cry, and than hide. I didn't think I could love character I figure I wouldn't like but in this story you prove me wrong. I even love a lot of the new characters.

I'm sure going to miss this story just so happy Peeta and Katniss finally have the happy ending they deserve...

Your an amazing writer am sure I will be buying your books in Barns n Noble one day...make sure you put a link when you do...

I have a story I would love to see on here The Better Part of Darkness (Book by Kelly Gay)...I think you would be amazing with these characters...

Take care cant wait for your next story..till than goodbye for now.

Thank you!

I somehow missed getting the notification for this. The ending was very good.

Loved this story! Please continue to write Everlark.

Wow, December 13, 2015 to March 15, 2020—it took you 4-1/4 years to write this. I'm not sure what to say about that.

Let me say a few words about the brilliance of your deuterology. Starting with just two changes—Gale volunteers for Peeta and an OC, Udo Donner, cleverly slanders Peeta—you have come up with a _very_ alternate Alternate Universe. It's the District 12 Reaping for the 76th Hunger Games that starts the Rebellion! Paylor gets turned into radioactive ions when Snow nukes D08! You did _not_ write one of those AUs that can be described as "Madge Undersee becomes the Mockingjay, but after this, it's like canon."

} [Haymitch said, during training for the 75th Hunger Games], "Boy, if you wanna stay alive, you gotta think outside the box." {{ I don't remember Haymitch saying anything like this.

Speri hooking up with Enobaria—I had not expected this, for several reasons. But on Enobaria's end, it's not especially surprising.

} with another Victors' baby." {{ should be Victor's

} "I'm not standing for re-election, Haymitch." {{ verb should be running. Standing is a Britishism.

} "Age before beauty, Haymitch." "Kiss my old ass, boy." {{ LOL!

} Meda running for Triad-district senator—I didn't see _that_ coming!

The scene of Meda rescuing her political rival Dogwood was harrowing. GREAT writing!

} when I first me her. {{ meT

I _really_ like how Meda got elected.

I liked the "Why does Mom still hunt?" scene between Peeta and Birch.

Part VII (Five Years Later)—Panem now has a VICE President?

} A paid of limousines {{ pair

Hm, I wonder in what district Mason City is at?

Panem now has a Chief Justice?

Was the country's name, under the days of Cory Snow, "Panem" or "the Republic of Panem"?

great story, thanks for writing it.

Wow it’s over. I’ve been reading this saga since I first found HG fanfic. I’ve reread Absolution so many times and recommend it to anybody who asked for favorite stories.
Take a bow! This is an amazing piece of work. Congratulations.

Such a wonderful story! I loved it! Loved the ending I thought it was perfect. Thank you so much!

Take a bow Bruce...

This chapter was absolutely amazing. Really, really amazing. I don't know if I'm a broken record or anything, but I'm honestly jealous at how your writing has the power to draw me in. As soon as I got the email after lulling asleep recently, I immediately woke up and read this from start to finish. I'm definitely taking notes on how to improve, we all are, and you are a constant source of inspiration. But you already know this.

What's next? I think you deserve your break, to my detriment.

Forgiveness and perseverance is a constant theme within Epiphany. Especially the Snow Family development, as well as the blackstones. After ruling for 25 years (canon?), in which all of those years were the source of misery and neglect, I'd be perplexed as to why or how another Snow gets elected again. But due to Meda's growth, she pulled through and eventually got to president. Enobaria and Speri, interesting couple. She's like...30 by the post-war and shes...22, and by the end Eno is like 40-50 something and Speri is 30 something to 40. Shower thought.

The oath was a nice touch. In one of my side stories, in which my protagonist-villan is sworn in after deposing the moderate president, I use Canada's oath of office with a mix of the one of the Mockingjay movie. You use the old fashioned American one. Seems fitting.

I like that the Peacekeepers are still standing. "Peacekeeper-Corporal" "Peacekeeper Sergeant"...Im gonna steal that. Nice way of address instead of Corporal so and so of the Peacekeepers.

I like the character of Dog. Here's hoping he's had a decent shake of things after that accident.

Another Shower thought, what do cars look like? Are they like OUR cars? Just curious. Like in my case, I tend to describe cars in my world as one's with 40's-60's design cues.

I just love endings. If you're strong enough of a writer, it all ends off with a pretty bow. Which you've done here.

Thank you Bruce. You are the GOAT. Truly a spectacular writer. It needs to be known and noted.

-Tyler.

Wooohooooo! Thank you and Congratulations!

I enjoyed this chapter with life after the rebellion. And I never would have thought of Finnick and Madge but I like it!

Thank you!

} His sister, Violet Rose Everdeen-Mellark, was two months old, and needed help with everything except messing her diaper. _That_ she was very skilled at doing. {{ LOL!

"A bed-warmer. That's what it's come to. Fit for nothing else."

"Not true. You also make wonderful cheese buns and blueberry pancakes." {{ LOL again.

So Madge is married to Finnick? _This_ is unexpected. And she's Mayor? LOL.

} Cashmere's son—named Gloss, after Cashmere's brother—was three, {{ I assume that "Dr. Joe" also was involved in the boy's conception.

Ya'll should be Y'all

The "District of Everdeen"? I _love_ this!

} "Again, what does that have to do with me." {{ Should be me?"

Peeta as Appointed-Senator Mellark from the Triad District? I love it.

} "Well, _that_ went well." "Zip it, Haymitch." {{ LOL!

This is such a sweet, fluffy chapter—"eventual EverLark" indeed! Quite a contrast to all the s**t that K&P have gone through, up till now, in "Absolution" and "Epiphany." It reads like the end of the story—in which case, you should put "The End" at the bottom.

District of Everdeen - perfect!
Senator Mellark
Mellark square

Thank you for a wonderful update!

Really glad to see an update.

In the paragraph near the end where you have Peeta say, "The Triad is our home now". In the next sentence you say, "Same with Doc and Glimmer". That should be Cashmere, shouldn't it?
