Finnick is introduced in Catching Fire, the second book of The Hunger Games trilogy.

Fandom

Shipping

Finnick is usually shipped in his canon relationship with Annie Cresta (sometimes called Odesta). Other het pairings are also common, mainly Finnick/Johanna and Katniss/Finnick (Katnnick). Stories with female Reader-Inserts and original characters are also popular, particularly on Wattpad.

Finnick is less frequently slashed. Peeta/Finnick is likely the most popular. Cinna/Finnick, Finnick Odair/Gale Hawthorne, and Haymitch/Finnick standout as well.

Tropes and Fanon

  • Dub-con, Non-Con, and Forced Prostitution: Many stories fill in the details of the story Finnick tells in Mockingjay. It's also common for Finnick to feature as a guide to new Victors about to face forced prostitution.
  • Finnick Odair Lives: Stories where Finnick survives Mockingjay and continues his life with Annie.
  • Pre-Canon stories are common. Fans vary on whether to interpret Finnick as a Career volunteer or an unlucky teenager who got reaped.
