Katniss and Peeta reclaiming their lost childhood postwar by doing things like taking bubble baths or playing hopscotch, Katniss and Peeta whispering soft little secrets under the covers because itās a good way to heal but it also feels fun and a little mischievous, Katniss and Peeta homeschooling themselves past tenth grade, Katniss and Peeta deciding to have an official first date, Peeta making Katniss her first ever birthday cake, and Katniss giving Peeta his first ever proper birthday present ā¦

in the last few days i read some other fics so i thought iād add them here
iāll tell you all the time - katniss takes care of peeta after a rainy day. also she is just like me (except for the fact that i donāt have a peeta šŖ)
we lay here for years or for hours / so long we become the flowers - letās just say this was devastating but in a good way
storms always pass (and this one will too) - katniss is sick and peeta takes care of her
just close your eyes, the sun is going down - especially chapters 3 and 4 (the others are more angsty, loved them as well cause i actually like a little angst, idk what this says about me lolllllš„²)
the last three fics have the same writer because whenever i find something i like, i read every single work of theirs oops
hi! iām pretty new to the fandom and would love to know if you have some fluffy fic recs LOL iāve read i think pretty much all (or most) of your work (which i am completely obsessed with) so anything that is similar works great! (:
Hi hello welcome! Iām so glad you like my fics thatās so sweet š„¹š
Soā¦Iām really terrible at tagging my bookmarks well so forgive me if my recommendations are a little all over the place.
Cookbooks from Effie
Angel Kisses
Morning Light
Into Night
Those are the ones off the top of my head that are fluff but Iām sure thereās more Iām missing. Thereās more of my favorite fics under my fic recs tag. Iād also highly recommend checking out @district12flufffest if you havenāt already!
If anyone else has everlark fluff recs feel free to add on (asking selfishly because I also want to read them šš)
#fic recs#i think iāll always use this post to add more so they are all in the same place (?)#i still donāt know how tumblr works iām sorry

For @triassictriserratops I didn't forget your request! Haymitch hugging Katniss after she wins the Games.
Fifty-one.
That's how many children he's seen Snow kill fromāor wearing the colors ofāDistrict 12. But not these two. Not his sweetheart or the boy.
Peeta has been practicing walking on his new leg, back and forth across the room, while asking Haymitch about Katniss, with a look that fluctuates between starry-eyed love and fierce protection. Haymitch supposes he'd once looked that way, too, long ago. The boy still thinks that everything will be okay now. He talks about having Haymitch over for dinner when the two kids move into Victor's Village. Like they'll all be one happy family.
No, we can't be a family, Haymitch thinks. Family is dangerous for a victor. They all know that. Every single one of them. Peeta, too, will have to learn the truth, in time. Until then, he can't bear to shatter the boy's hope.
Then came the surprise when the boy, balancing without the cane, grabs at Haymitch and hugs him. So young, even if he's larger than most of the men in Twelve. The old victor hugs him back, feeling the wall around his shriveled heart get a hefty chunk chipped off.
"Thanks, Haymitch," Peeta says. "For not giving up on me."
Haymitch pats his back, trying to bring his guard back up. They aren't home yet. They won't ever really be home. But he can't help it. For at least a little while, he's getting to keep them.
Next it's sweetheart's turn. He and Effie join Cinna in the chamber at the end of the medical ward's hallway, ready to go get the girl, when they see her already out of her room and looking around, an anxious tone in her voice as she calls out, "Peeta!"
"Katniss!" Effie trills, reaching up and waving her hand.
The girl turns toward the team, breaking into a smile and coming running down the hall. He's certain she's make for Cinna, who has been kind and formed a genuine bond with her, but instead, her feet are turned toward him and then she's hugging him, too.
Haymitch gave up ever thinking of being a father when he lost his love and his family. And he knows that Katniss had one of the best for her own father. But for a moment, hugging her close, forgetting about the Capitol and Plutarch's hinting of rebellion, and he can imagine this is what it would feel like, having a daughter.
"Nice job, sweetheart," he whispers against her dark hair, unable to muster any sarcasm or guard against the girl in that moment.
If Peeta chipped at the wall around his heart, then Katniss has cracked it. He will never be able to go back to the way it was.
Of course it will, Lenore Dove tells him. You weren't like this before. The walls of a person's heart are not impregnable, not if they have ever known love. You won't be able to hold them off.
He wants to. He wants to keep these two out, but he knows his love is right. He's already let these two into his shriveled old heart.

not only is āpeeta is uselessā fundamentally untrue to katnissās character:
āI do,ā I say. āI need you.ā
But from a basal level, Peeta represents something crucial to long-term survival:
That what I need to survive is not Gale's fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that.
To unpack this, letās explore the general symbolism of fire in a survival literature. Letās turn to Lord of the Flies.
In Lord of the Flies, the fire is a motif used to symbolize the decay of the relationship between the survivors. At first, the fire is controlled. It is beneficial. It is a source of warmth, light, and community. They gather around the fire. They cook on the fire. Their hope for rescue resides in the fire.
When they fall out with one another, the fire grows out of control. It blazes beyond the camp. It destroys. It raises everything to ashes.
That is Peeta. Then that is Gale.
You do not need a complex understanding of The Hunger Games to read Katnissās own words in the conclusion of Mockingjay. You do not even have to know that Peeta is a āwhiz with firesā.
The most iconic line from the franchise provides enough context to understand this notion alone:
If we burn, you burn with us.
It is true that when the Capitol sets fires, it destroys the nation. However, the inverse is also true. With Galeās uncontrolled fire, everything burns. Everything is destroyed.
There is no world in which Gale and Katniss successfully run off without Peeta. They could survive physically, but they would burn on each otherās fire. They would fuel each other until it became irreparable. Eventually, there would be no fuel left.
They needed Peeta. They both needed Peeta.
And you donāt have to have an in-depth understanding of Hunger Games lore and meta to understand this. Just an idea of what fire represents across media.

Haymitch loves both of his grandchildren deeply, but there's something special about him finally getting to watch a little brother grow up in a world without a reaping.

Katniss: Iām not sure how I feel about you except I am willing to die for you and I will try to do so even though you told me not to and I really donāt want to marry you except I resent any implication of other people saying our engagement or love is fake and also I donāt want to have children except one of the only good dreams I have is one where you are a father and also Iām not sure if I enjoy kissing you but I get mad that you donāt kiss me and I canāt really handle romance but I think youāre so hot that if the world was different I would be pregnant right now and also I will truly crash out if youāre not around
Peeta: ā¦. Ok! Friends forever!

i honestly think it's really funny that katniss and peeta are usually reffered to as a couple that breaks so many gender norms because like you think manipulation and lying are more feminine skills? have you ever met any man? like ever? a girl having walls and being emotionally closed of is so shocking to you? why? that's just my mom.

Katniss scratched Haymitch's face and damaged his eye when she found out what happened to Peeta at the end of CF and somehow there are people still thinking she settled for that boy. Hmm.

I try to imagine that world, somewhere in the future, with no Games, no Capitol. A place like the meadow in the song I sang to Rue as she died. Where Peetaās child could be safe.
Fortune forever smiles upon me to be the humble recipient of yet another @smallpapers master work. I would call it perfect timing since they sent me this as I was just listening to The Katniss Chronicles' epilogue. But anytime is perfect timing to receive a piece of most glorious work as this! Thank you so, so much to the Great Papers of Tumblr! Forever in adoration of this along with everything else in your portfolio.

first kiss

last (described) kiss

and itās for the same reasons; she impulsively kisses him, commanding that he not die, that he not leave her, and, of course, he promises he wonāt ⦠they never did leave that arena, and the rule revocation is still in effect, and theyāre still refusing to comply
