One of my fave Everlark scenes isn’t kissing or anything romantic. It’s when Peeta admits he painted Rue for the Gamemakers, and everyone is shocked so Katniss is like, “well I hung Seneca Crane whoopsie.” And then they just giggle because they are both so alike in some ways. Maybe Peeta is more artistic and intentional while and Katniss is more confrontational and reactionary, but they are in step with each other in a way that is truly impressive.

peeta: I said no, no boyfriends or girlfriends staying the night until you're 18

toast teenage girl: it's not fair!! You used to sleep in mum's bed every night!

peeta: do you want to end up 17 married and pregnant the face of a violent revolution?

toast teenage girl: ugh dad not real! Mum was not pregnant!

Katniss from the shadows: I could have been if not for the games though

toast teenage girl: ...

peeta: ...

toast teenage girl: what

peeta: what

Honestly the "but Peeta wanted kids so bad" line from the Mockingjay epilogue is really funny to me because for three books Katniss has been projecting her desire for children onto a guy who hasn't really ever verbally expressed any interest in having kids, so I do genuinely think the whole "kids vs. no kids" debate happened entirely internally for Katniss and one day she just went "ok, you win, let's have kids" and Peeta's at the kitchen table like"?????? Ok??????"

In all of Katniss’s fawning over how comforting Peeta’s arms are, it’s sometimes overlooked that they actually talked during those nights, too. This line here discussing nightmares and how that actually helped her—is most likely thanks to Peeta.

And this doesn’t just apply to bad dreams, here we have an example of Katniss sharing her good dreams with Peeta too.

I’m not giving them a medal for communication, but it is sweet to see how comfortable Katniss became with sharing all her thoughts with Peeta—and how she came away feeling better for having shared them.

Katniss got shot, knocked out, drugged up and had dreams of searching for Peeta and following his scent and cuddling with him even after she experienced the violent “evil mutt version” of him. She made out with a pearl because she missed kissing him. She comforted herself in the murder arena by falling asleep fantasizing about his babies. She canonically states that she held off from ending her own life after the war because she felt like she was “waiting for something”—for him to come home, because the moment he arrived back in 12 she was motivated to take a shower and leave her depression hole for the first time in months. And you think she just settled for him because she couldn’t get over Gale’s association with the bombings?

Summary: During his coronation circuit, Prince Peeta was eager to visit District 12 and find out if Rye is right. He shared a fleeting taste of what it’s like–could be like–with the struggling local writer.

oh this is so cute!!!🫶

10. “I would like my good morning kiss now.”

Please? I actually have a very clear idea of who's saying that, but I want to know if we're thinking about the same person. 🫢🩷

thanks for sending this in @youderly! @oolhan & an anon asked for the exact same one haha so here you guys go!

It happened slowly. As my mind and body started quieting down, no longer permanently poised to take flight or fight, I realised that all those early mornings I’d spent in the woods had gone against the grain of my circadian rhythm. I wasn’t the notoriously early-rising mockingjay after all, but instead a night owl. In a way, I felt this suited me better.

What I hadn’t anticipated, however, is that Peeta would be the same. Years and years in the bakery meant that a 3AM alarm clock wasn’t unusual. But, left to his own devices, he’d sit in front of his easel or kneading by the counter well into the wee hours.

As long as the other needed company, we’d be up alongside one another. And the best part was that it wasn’t because of nightmares that we were awake past midnight, but because we’d both gotten too carried away by adding entries to the memory book. Or poring over blueprints for the new bakery. Or becoming hopelessly tangled in bedsheets and hot breaths.

This, of course, meant our mornings would start later. And usually only after one of us had gone downstairs to prepare tea or hot chocolate to fortify us for the day ahead.

And usually that one of us would be Peeta.

And usually he would try to sneak away without waking me up, but his heavy tread would never allow him to get away with that.

So, every morning when he returns from the kitchen holding two steaming mugs in hand, I’m already sitting upright in our bed. Arms folded across my chest. Pretending to scowl, which makes him laugh. Ready to say, ‘If you don’t mind, I would like my good morning kiss now.’

[oolhan]

Katniss: We wouldn’t last two minutes without Peeta. Katniss: Katniss: Don’t tell him I said that.

I have a headcannon that Peeta's mother (or possibly both parents) is an alcoholic. This is based mainly on how Peeta interacts with Haymitch Abernathy in the books. There's a polite hostility in the first book, which makes me think he's talked with someone with substance abuse. In Catching Fire, he first showed up, making sure Haymitch was eating, giving him fresh baked bread, then the after the Quarter Quell was announced, he berated both Katniss and Haymitch for drinking and tells him that he had gone to Ripper to stop selling moonshine to him. The fact Peeta called Ripper by name tells me that he's been in her acquaintance in the Hob before, which makes Katniss nerves about taking Peeta to the Hob because a good boy from the market district will get eaten alive there, kinda hilarious.
