AAAAAaaaah I have no words for this
This Fanfiction was written so well, I want to make it canon (But seriously, everyone has thought that while reading this at one point, right? Just me?)Everything was really well-developed overall, even the little details. I think their relationship was glossed over a bit in the novels and in the movies, and you did such a great job with it! (I keep saying this over and over, but I really mean it.) I think that it was great that Annie was depicted as someone besides the mad, tortured girl that the fandom usually depicts her as. Their backstory as neighbors with their respective struggles and him referring to her in the beginning as his "neighbor-girl" broke my heart and then put it back together. (It was so freaking sweet and aaaaa I'm drowning) I didn't want Finnick to die, but your explanation of why you "killed" him completely made up for it. Yes, I want our golden boy to see his son, but his bad memories might keep him from being there for his kid. Finnick's depiction as just as tortured as Annie was also important; there are so many sides in his personality, but we're usually shown the tough-guy side. In conclusion, great job on everything, this is now canon, and have a snazzy day!

This makes me so sad. Like all of it. Like low key gonna start crying over here

This was such an incredibly beautiful story, I read the whole thing in two days. There were some sentences that were simply perfect. I'm glad that if Finnick had to die, you skipped the actual scene-I don't think I would have been able to get through that chapter. I was beyond happy to hear Fletcher survived, so at least Annie will have him and his family to remind her of Finnick, and of course hers and Finnick's own son. Thanks for such a wonderful story.

Beautiful first chapter!

love this story very much~although I will always rooting happy ending for Finnick and Annie. thanks for this amazing story!

This story was beautiful and i wish Suzanne Collins would write the other victors stories just like you did, but i'm so mad Finnick died, because he was one of that was hurt the most!

Sooo good! And your writing is amazing too! I can't tell you how refreshing it is to red well written, grammatically correct fanfic! The dialogue stays true to Collins' characters and makes your backstory totally believable, and thus totally enjoyable to read. Thank you!

this is really great!

this is really great!

this is my second time reading it and it's just as lovely as before. this is literally perfect, exactly how i'd want it written and how i'd want it to go. how are u so good at this? i really wish you'd write more.

My parents like to watch movies years after they come out, and so I found myself with a host of Finnick/Annie feelings and a desperate need for their story. To be honest, I haven't found much that I've liked. I'm picky and close tabs methodically.

The second I finish this review, I am opening up every work you've posted.

This was the most poignant, tragically beautiful story I've read in years. All of my tears earned through the skill of your writing and deep understanding and care for the characters, rather than trite lines that so many favor. Finnick and Annie, and Mags, Fletcher, Roscoe, and Johanna, were profoundly real and fleshed out.

The mechanics of the Capitol's abuse were what most worried me when I started reading, but you earned my trust with the earlier chapters, and sure enough, you handled the delicate and disgusting nature of forced prostitution well.

You are an incredibly gifted writer, and I only hope that this is not your only fic. The world would be a poorer place if it was.

I don't know what to say, but wow. I wish I had reviewed every chapter, but I was in a mad rush to finish the story. I marathon-ed it and I have to say, I cried so much! Your words were so beautiful, and the story was so lovely and detailed; I can certainly believe it to be the canon tale of Finnick and Annie.

I loved this couple almost as much as Katniss and Peeta. Having known so little about them, yet still feel so much gut-wrenching loss and heartache over their love, makes me such a sucker for Knotted. It's also why I find it so perfect.

Thank you for weaving such a beautiful narrative that made me laugh, cry, and cry some more, especially the Epilogue. Although I would have loved nothing more than for Finnick to live out his days with Annie and their son in District 4, his love, passing, and commitment to Annie is cemented by his death. I really wish it wasn't so. He, like many other tributes, deserved so much. But the impact of the Hunger Games trilogy is in the cruel and unforgiving world where it takes place. A world that I don't doubt our own world can become if we're not careful.

I loved your interpretation of how Annie "crept up" on Finnick. I also appreciated how you painted her 'madness' and made it all too clear how any living victor can easily be just as unhinged.

So delighted to have come across this. Thank you for sharing, for completing it, and leaving it here for the rest of us to enjoy.

Cheers.

This story is brilliant. I just finished it, and I'm crying as I type this. The characterization and writing style is beautiful, and everything is so heartfelt. I love this story. Keep writing; you're brilliant.
Have a great day!

Loved your story , now favourited!

omg i've got to say that is this what i was looking for when i came in for a finnick story. i've read others about finnick's life story, and nothing fits his personality like this one. i just wanted to thank you so much and i hope more people find this gorgeous work of art.
