Everlark: The Classics #5

Enemy by HGRomance

Published: 2014 Chapters: 8 | Complete

okay so since tons of you love waterlily so much, here's another masterpiece from HGR and I doubt any old fan never read this before (if so then shame on you jk). Where do I begin? just the fact that Katniss is Snow's granddaughter here is intriguing enough. Peeta as the mockingjay? come on man you're missing a lot.

Although the story is compact into eight chapters, Enemy is one of the most popular fic HGR had published. It follows Katniss taken hostage by the rebels and her breakthrough from becoming the youngest and most lethal gamemaker to the most delicate and misunderstood child. With Peeta's help, she slowly accepted her vulnerability and denied childhood. From there, their story is, like Waterlily, tangled and untangled into intricate weaves of red strings. Once again, HGR's writing never fails to bring out my manic love for katniss and peeta and I hope the same for you guys. This is devastatingly good. It's a short read so it's like, you can binge it again and again. The angst, the build up, the fragility of Katniss' character and her experienced pressure from being a family to the president is felt so deeply I just want to hug her. Not to mention the single memory plotline makes it more heartbreaking and the ending is so, so unique. This is a classic. Read it now, I meant now!

Sorry to bother you but do you know of any fics where Peeta is the mockingjay instead of Katniss?

This blog is so helpful, thank you.

Hello Anon!

You are no bother at all! Sorry it took a while to answer this, I've been busier than anticipated with life and had to do some deep dives to find Mockingjay!Peeta.

Hopefully these are new to you (and actually fit the request):

Becoming the Mockingjay-dinosinspace (ao3)

Summary: What if there was a point of view change at the end of Catching Fire? Peeta is rescued while Katniss is taken by the Capitol and miraculously survives. How does the boy with the bread react to Katniss being taken by the one thing she tried so hard to escape? What does Peeta have to overcome as the Mockingjay?

Fire is Catching-Melusine11 (ao3)

Summary: "If you'd been taken by the Capitol, and hijacked, and then tried to kill Peeta, is this the way he would be treating you?" What if Katniss hadn't been the one lifted out of the arena of the 75th hunger games by the Rebellion. Role reversal told from (mostly) Peeta's point of view. incomplete and on indefinite hiatus - 3/11/19

Phoenix-lunalark (ao3)

Summary: Mockingjay AU. " If you’d been taken by the Capitol, and hijacked, and then tried to kill Peeta, is this the way he would be treating you?" Peeta is rescued from the Quell, and Katniss is taken by the Capitol. With Peeta as the new symbol, does the Rebellion survive?

The Fire and Her Fuel-mem0rieslikeweap0ns (ao3)

Summary: An alternate version of Mockingjay where Peeta is saved by the rebels in the Quarter Quell (bc I love Peeta Mellark and I need him safe and happy and in love with Katniss)

The MockingJay (Peeta’s Version)-isitcrow (ao3)

Summary: Mockingjay, but Peeta is the chosen mockingjay and Katniss is taken to the captiol and hijacked.

Vox Libertas-ForFutureReference (ao3)

Summary: A chain of events in the final minutes of the Quarter Quell causes the victor rescue to go a bit differently than expected. Will Peeta be able to handle his role as the face of the Rebellion? And how will this effect the course of the war and beyond? Canon-divergent "Mockingjay" and Peeta POV.

Hope you enjoy! If I stumble on more I'll update this post!

As always, let me know if you have any questions, comments, or recommendations for authors or fics to add!

No but the Hunger Games really said "what do you hate more- the atrocities or the people who commit them against you? Because like it or not there IS a difference. If you hate the people who commit acts of pure evil more than you hate the acts themselves, what will stop you from becoming just like your enemies in your pursuit of justice? What will keep you from commiting those very same acts against THEM when the opportunity arises? And what then? The cycle of pain and suffering will never stop. Round and round it'll go. Nothing will ever change. But. BUT. If you hate the atrocities. If you hate the vile, senseless acts MORE than you hate the people who did them to you. If you are able to see that evil is evil regardless of who does it... The cycle ends with you. No, you may never get justice. But you will never be responsible for making others, even your enemies, suffer the same crimes you have. The atrocities will never be committed by you, never by your hand. And that's the way you change the world. It's the ONLY way" and that's why I am sure it will never stop being one of the most relevant works of fiction ever created

[peetapie]

Just a reminder that we don’t know all the good things Katniss does/did for her community, because Katniss wouldn’t tell us unless it was relevant to what was going on.

In Catching fire, she doesn’t tell us that she’s being going around and bringing food to poor children in the seam until she needs to explain why she had a bag of food and why her mother wouldn’t find that odd.

In the first book, when she’s telling Peeta about the story of how she got Prims goat, she refuses to admit that this wasn’t a selfish move so she could get money out of that goat. (You could also argue that this is her refusing to be vulnerable in front of Peeta and all of Pamen though. I think it’s both, because she doesn’t even admit that she did this purely for her sister in her internal dialogue.)

And in Mockingjay, she never tells us that she’s the one that got Haymitch the goose eggs to help him heal after the games. All she says in the epilogue is that Haymitch raises geese when the liquor runs out. And we would never know otherwise if Haymitch didn’t mention that SHE was the one who got him the geese in sotr.

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

His first real birthday

[tenaciousmoneymuffinzine]

Comparing Haymitch and Katniss' narrative styles is so funny to me because he's a yapper and she's a gatekeeper. He drops more lore on D12 in the first two chapters of SOTR than she does in the entire trilogy.

Haymitch is like "Yeah, so this person is related to this person who's related to this person and things are this way because of this and this thing actually came from here and this person is actually my best friend and also here's this extra tidbit of random info cause all my lore dropping comes with it's own additional bonus content and all my unnecessary commentary."

And Katniss is over here like "Tf do I care for if y'all know all the lore of District 12? I'm talking about my beautiful husband's beautiful eyelashes."

[whenthewallfell]

I'll add it to the list of words I use to try to figure you out

[evermarch]

so you’re telling me that after what happened to louella/lou lou haymitch had to watch peeta come back from the capitol as a “mutt version of himself” and question whether the shell of a human with peeta’s face was even peeta at all

and he had to do all that SOBER???

[gurl-i-just-want-none-to-find-me]

Not Haymitch being the legal guardian of Katniss in Capitol and District 13.

In mockingjay,

Haymitch is annoyed about Katniss ripping off her earpiece, and he is showing her different PERMANENT earpiece option as a threat.

He specifically says, " I will AUTHORIZE them to surgically implant this transmitter into your ear".

Authorize, not ask them or tell them but AUTHORIZE.

That imples he has had to NOT authorize previous District 13 demands. Just like in the Capitol with breast enhancement surgery.

Few pages back, Asterid says how she didn't know Katniss was going to 8 till she was already gone. And Katniss goes, I'm sorry I'll ask them to clear everything with you.

And asterid replies, "Katniss no one clears anything from me".

Asterid is not Katniss' Legal Guardian anymore, Haymitch is. He has been running around for god knows how long keeping her safe and sane.

The I wonder is he the reason Katniss got discharged from the hospital while Finnick stays in a drug haze?

Is he the reason they leave her be when she doesn't follow schedule?

Is he the reason they let her hide in pipes and closets?

And I'm reminded of lil Haymitch taking care of even littler children during his games. Wondering why they all come to him. And he's fails to keep any one of them alive.

Except Katniss. That's a daughter thrusted to him. And he's trying so fucking hard to not let her die too.

I'm gonna go cry now

"It's just that I didn't understand when I met you. After your first Games, I thought the whole romance was an act on your part. We all expected you'd continue that strategy. But it wasn't until Peeta hit the force field and nearly died that I—" Finnick hesitates. I think back to the arena. How I sobbed when Finnick revived Peeta. The quizzical look on Finnick's face. The way he excused my behavior, blaming it on my pretend pregnancy. "That you what?" "That I knew I'd misjudged you. That you do love him. I'm not saying in what way. Maybe you don't know yourself. But anyone paying attention could see how much you care about him," he says gently.

saw someone say "plutarch heavensbee they could never make me form a solid opinion on you" and I felt that.

[district-thirteen-intern]

Everyone in the Capitol: Peeta is so romantic!

Peeta, trauma-painting the arena floor with blood and flowers: I’m weaponizing love as a form of resistance, but go off.

[bakedgoodsforbucky]

Thinking about tbosas from the other perspective is so funny to me because imagine you’re Lucy Gray and the way you make a living is by singing and being a charming, charismatic performer. The people in your district love you, you have a nice family, sure your parents are dead but things aren’t so bad.

Then you get Reaped because your boyfriend cheated on you - so now you have to fight for your life in an arena.

When you get to the Capitol you’re met by a guy around your age who says his job is to take care of you in the arena, so you figure you should probably use some of those charms you live by on him so you have a better chance at survival. So you flirt with him a little, save his life etc. It works! He helps you! Now you’ve won the Hunger Games! You get to go home and see your family! Thank you random Capitol guy for your help, bye bye now.

And then you’re singing on stage, with your family who you literally killed people to see again, thrilled to be alive and this fuckin Capitol guy has followed you home.

Oh and also he’s a peacekeeper now so is legally allowed a gun.

And now he kind of won’t leave you alone - the charm worked too well and he’s obsessed with you. Brilliant. But you’re a survivor. So you let him get closer, just enough to feel safe. And as you get to know him better, maybe you’re thinking, hey this guy isn’t so bad, he’s kind of cute with his buzzcut and he seems to really like you, maybe this could be something. Also it might be useful to have a peacekeeper on side - everything in your district is about survival.

Things are going well, you write a song about him, he cries, your little cousin loves him.

And then he murders someone in front of you and you’re like oh shit he crazy. And THEN you realise that because of the person he murdered, the mayor is now out for your blood and you’re probably gonna die so you have to get out of there ASAP so you say bye to this guy and he INVITES HIMSELF TO YOUR ESCAPE PLAN and you have to be like “oh sure, that’s super news, would absolutely love to have you along with me, I’m so glad you asked.” So now you’re stuck with him again.

And THEN you’re in the middle of escaping and he fuckin tells you he’s murdered an extra person you didn’t know about and when you ask him who, he says his old self and now you’re thinking oh shit he CRAZY crazy. And THEN he finds the gun he used and you realise that if he destroys that evidence then you’re the only loose end and he has a kind of crazy look in his eye so you’re like, okay time to nip this in the bud, I’m outta here gotta go pick some katniss. So you run away from him and THEN he follows you again and fuckin shoots at you so you run FASTER and now you’ve disappeared and no one will ever find out what happened to you which drives him absolutely crazy for 60+ years.

Oh and also they’re going to erase all footage of your Games so no one will remember you and he’s going to become a tyrannical dictator who has personal beef with three different sixteen year olds from your district over the years, all because you hurt his feelings one time.
