Summary
"I am going to give you a chance to explain yourself."
Haymitch swirled his glass with the air of someone deep in thought, taking a sip before setting it down slowly.
"Explanation… hmm." He took a contemplative breath. "Try: everything about that party was disgusting and everyone there the vilest scum on this planet."
It's the 53rd Hunger Games, and although this year's female tribute from Twelve made it past the bloodbath, Haymitch is not having a good time. The first year, he'd been too shellshocked. The second year, too scared. But he's at breaking point now, and when he's dragged to a party exemplifying everything he hates about the Capitol, it culminates in a heated argument between him and Effie.

Summary
A soft, slightly-eerily-emotionless Capitol voice filled the air. “It sounds like you’re interested in strategic dermal customisation. Would you like to view today’s featured arrangements?”
“Oh no,” Effie whispered. “It thinks we’re interested.”
A hologram bloomed just above the coffee table, displaying a smiling mannequin rotating slowly, skin adorned with unique constellations of freckles.
Haymitch watched in confusion.
Effie stared in horror.
Haymitch squinted at the hologram, pointing at a collection of freckles on its left buttock. “That one looks like a goose.”
“Would you like to save this design?” the voice prompted.
“We would not,” Effie said hurriedly.
Or, 'the one where Effie explains how freckles work to a tipsy (and possibly slightly high) Haymitch'.

Summary
There were so many things he could have said. So many things he’d fully intended on saying as he’d walked over to her room, hoping the words and courage would come to him once he was finally facing her – but he was a flawed, frightened man. So instead, as he searched her face for reassurance that perhaps she really was alright, he remarked on something safer, something he noticed hadn’t been there before.
“You have freckles.”
She wrinkled her nose slightly at the blunt observation, and that was the Effie he knew.
Effie's time in captivity deprived her of the modcons and creature comforts she's used to, relevantly a skincare product that evens skin tone and prevents pesky unwanted pigmentation (like freckles).

Summary
“I tried to telephone ahead, of course, but – well…” she gestured to where a telephone should’ve been, but a dent in the wall and exposed wire was all that remained.
“Anyway, I’m to–” she faltered for a fraction of a second, just long enough for Haymitch to notice “–stay here for the next two nights!”
To what now?
Entirely unseasonable weather brings the train forward, meaning Effie has to stay with Haymitch in the days leading up to the reaping. When one of her makeup bags (containing her “complexion enhancers”) goes missing, Haymitch makes a most interesting discovery (being that Effie has freckles).

Summary
"Remember that party with the wedding? Well, it turns out that the officiant was real... and you're my lawfully wedded husband."
The phone slipped from his hand, crashing loudly to the floor. He heard Effie's distant voice from somewhere around his feet, asking if he was still there. His ears were ringing as he pulled the receiver up by its kinked and coiled cord with numb hands and returned it to his ear.
"Sorry, I thought you just said 'husband.'"
...A take on the classic 'fake marriage' trope, inspired by The Parent Trap (1998)

Summary
“Yes, Haymitch please do keep up, I’m showing them how to flirt properly.”
Haymitch mutters something under his breath that Katniss finds unintelligible. Effie must hear him clearly though because she steps on his foot with a precision that Katniss knows can not possibly be a mistake.
or, our star crossed lovers get a lesson from Effie as they set out on their Victory Tour
