a/n: this is for jackie, who asked for an everlark one shot and is generally perfect. i kinda went wild with this but i had a lot of fun writing it as an au, so sorry not sorry for the length and happy christmas! the title is taken from the mariah carey song (i’m shameless) which should be required christmas listening for everyone on the planet.
enjoy!

I MISS YOU MOST AT CHRISTMAS TIME
Of all the things that Katniss has inherited from her father, this is what she’s been dreading the most.
This…hike across the globe to give people their goddamn Christmas presents.
Ho fucking ho, she thinks grimly as she peers into what she thinks is at least the seventy millionth chimney of the night. Prim should do this, she tells herself, sitting gingerly on the roof and throwing her legs over the edge of the chimney. Then again, Prim probably wouldn’t get through even the first chimney unscathed. Her younger sister had inherited several flattering qualities from their father, but his dexterity was not one of them.
No, that was all left to Katniss. As was all the goddamn responsibility.
How beautifully ironic, she continues her inner monologue as she jumps through the chimney and lands in the fireplace near-silently. Saint Nicholas’ daughter hating Christmas.
