Prompt 1 - based on the movie “Belle” (2013)

England XVIII

This movie was inspired by the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle (Katniss Everdeen), the illegitimate mixed race daughter of Royal Navy Captain Sir John Lindsay (Mr.Everdeen). Raised together with her cousin Elizabeth Murray (Prim) by her aristocratic great-uncle Lord William Murray (Haymitch) , 1st Earl of Mansfield, his wife (Effie), and Belle's lineage affords her certain privileges, yet the color of her skin prevents her from fully participating in the traditions of her social standing. Left to wonder if she will ever find love, Belle falls for an idealistic young vicar's son bent on change (Peeta Mellark), who, with her help, shapes Lord Mansfield's role as Lord Chief Justice to end slavery in England.

Prompt 3- based on the book “Pride and Prejudice" (by Jane Austen) With a twist: Katniss and Peeta are Jane and Bingley, not Elizabeth and Darcy. [Submitted by@albinokittens300

P3 To be written by @rosegardeninwinter

Prompt 4 - Based on the movie "The Greatest Showman" (2017)

Option 1: Peeta is P.T. Barnum, Hugh Jackman's character (I feel like Peeta would make an excellent showman/ringmaster with his personality). Peeta is a humble baker but dreams of a more exciting life, and he makes promises to his childhood love, Katniss. After they're married Peeta chases his dreams, taking Katniss along with him. (You don't have to follow the plot of the movie exactly. Katniss and Peeta can have marital problems, due to his career and female attention, as long as there's no infidelity by Peeta and it's HEA Everlark).

Option 2: Peeta and Katniss are Phillip Carlylye the playwright and Anne Wheeler the trapeze artist (Zac Efron and Zendaya). He falls hard for her, and she for him, but at the time, it's not socially acceptable for them to be together/his parents don't approve (because of her skin color). Again, you can alter the plot as needed, but HEA Everlark, please.

Bonus for throwing in multiple THG characters as part of the show.[Submitted by @jhsgf82]

Prompt 5 - Based on the movie "Ever After: A Cinderella Story" (1998)

Katniss is Danielle (Cinderella) and Peeta is Prince Henry

Prompt 9 - Based on TV Show “Gran Hotel”

Gran Hotel was a Spanish drama/murder mystery about a family-owned hotel in the fictional coastal Spanish town of Cantaloa in 1905. This show is extremely dramatic and highly unrealistic at times with a lot of subplots, but the main story has to do with the characters of Julio, a guy who comes to the hotel and gets a job as a waiter but actually just wants to investigate his sister's disappearance (who previously worked as a maid there), and Alicia, the owner's unhappy daughter who's father somewhat recently passed away and who has to get married to a suitor her mother picked for her. They meet, fall in love and start an affair while she becomes the only person who will help him discover the truth about his sister's disappearance, while he helps her find out the real reason behind her father's death. I think this could work really well with everlark, but especially if the roles are reversed (not completely) - Julio has sort of a love at first sight moment and he is more open about his feelings, but then he's a different class compared to Alicia and then the only reason he came there is his sister, while Alicia is the youngest of three (if I remember correctly), slightly rebellious and also has a very controlling and borderline abusive mother. I feel like it would match better if they switched + there is the character Ayala, a detective that helps them with solving the murders, who I just think would be the perfect Haymitch. Anyway, I know it's unlikely anyone has seen it, but maybe someone will get inspired to write something similar.

Prompt 11 - Based on Movie “A League of Their Own”

with Katniss as Dottie, Prim as Kit, Haymitch as Jimmy and Peeta as Bob. A chance to expand on the Dottie & Bob (ahem Katniss and Peeta) relationship through letter writing. Baseball hijinks. The joys of figuring out who to cast as the other players on the team. ⚾️🏟🧢💕

Prompt 12 - Based on movies “Fast and Furios”

How about a story based on the Fast and the Furious series? It can be any of the characters and can be in any place in the world.

Peeta and Katniss both love fast cars. Family is the most important thing in life

Prompt 13: based on the myth “The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl”

A popular Chinese myth referenced to be the Chinese version of Valentine's day.

A young cowherd named Niulang (Chinese: 牛郎; pinyin: niú láng; literally "[the] cowherd"), came across seven fairy sisters bathing in a lake. Encouraged by his mischievous companion the ox, he stole their clothes and waited to see what would happen. The fairy sisters elected the youngest and most beautiful sister Zhinü (simplified Chinese: 织女; traditional Chinese: 織女; pinyin: zhī nǚ; literally "[the] weaver girl", the star Vega) to retrieve their clothing. She agreed to do so, but since Niulang had seen her naked, she agreed to his request for marriage. She proved to be a wonderful wife, and Niulang to be a good husband. They lived happily and had two children. But the Goddess of Heaven (or in some versions, Zhinü's mother) found out that Zhinü, a fairy girl, had married a mere mortal. The Goddess was furious and ordered Zhinü to return to heaven. (Alternatively, the Goddess forced the fairy back to her former duty of weaving colorful clouds, a task she neglected while living on earth with a mortal.) On Earth, Niulang was very upset that his wife had disappeared. Suddenly, his ox began to talk, telling him that if he killed it and put on its hide, he would be able to go up to Heaven to find his wife. Crying bitterly, he killed the ox, put on the skin, and carried his two beloved children off to Heaven to find Zhinü. The Goddess discovered this and was very angry. Taking out her hairpin, the Goddess scratched a wide river in the sky to separate the two lovers forever, thus forming the Milky Way between Altair and Vega.

Zhinü must sit forever on one side of the river, sadly weaving on her loom, while Niulang watches her from afar and takes care of their two children (his flanking stars β and γ Aquilae or by their Chinese names Hè Gu 1 and Hè Gu 3).

But once a year all the magpies in the world would take pity on them and fly up into heaven to form a bridge (鵲橋, "the bridge of magpies", Que Qiao) over the star Deneb in the Cygnus constellation so the lovers may be together for a single night, which is the seventh night of the seventh moon.

Prompt 14 - Based on the movie “The Mountain Between Us”

In the face of an incoming blizzard, while stuck in Salt Lake City International Airport, perfect strangers, free-spirited photojournalist, Alex Martin (Katniss Everdeen) and straight-laced brain surgeon, Dr Ben Bass (Peeta Mellark), charter a small plane to reach Denver. Instead, they find themselves injured, freezing, and stranded in a snow-covered ridge in the heart of the unforgiving High Uintas Wilderness, along with the pilot's golden retriever. Now, the lucky but utterly unprepared survivors have to brave the elements and work together to stand a fighting chance to live. However, amid cruel dilemmas, and when all hope seems lost, how do you trust someone you have just met?

They end up falling in love, but Ben (P) knows he can't be with Alex (K) since she reunites with her fiancee (Gale). Alex (K) misses Ben (P) and realizes she still loves him. They meet up again in New York City and give in to their feelings for each other.

Katniss as Alex and Peeta as Ben, but Peeta is the photographer and Katniss the Doctor…

Purple Hearts Ficlet

So, I recently watched Purple Hearts and really enjoyed it, and a few of us wanted to Everlark it. @daydreamsandcaffeine, @absnow

@absnow, you had some ideas for this fic but no time, and you gave the green light on this one. So anyway, I got inspired today and quickly wrote up the scene where they meet. I can’t say if/when I’ll continue, but I hope you enjoy. Tossing the Darius/Rue pairing in there was just a last minute impulse. And yes, due to a couple pieces of dialogue I put in, I will have to change something later on.

The Meeting

“Alright, sweetheart, one set,” drawls Haymitch, giving her a rare smile. “Go for it.”

Katniss smiles back and rushes giddily off to get Delly and the boys.

Once they’re set up, Katniss whips her braid over her shoulder and warms up her vocal chords with a cover of “Sweet Caroline.” Her voice starts off quiet, but after a few encouraging cheers from the audience, it builds. Midway through the song, her confidence is soaring on wings, and she’s belting out the lyrics back to back with her guitarist, Delly Cartwright. The crowd in the bar is clapping to the beat and singing along with the chorus.

She finishes strong and makes it part way through “Feel It Still.” She’s in the middle of singing ‘I’m a rebel just for kicks now’ when her vision begins to blur. The room starts to spin and darken, and her ears are buzzing.

“Kat!” she hears Delly call out just prior to feeling her arms wrap around her. Supporting her, Delly leads Katniss off the stage.

“Hey,” she says gently, looking into her eyes. “You okay?”

Katniss takes a shaky breath. “Y-yeah.”

Delly presses her lips together. “Why don’t you go take a breather and take your insulin.”

“O-okay.”

Delly releases her slowly and holds out her arms, just in case, as if she’s sending her off to walk for the first time, and Katniss goes for her purse. She makes her way outside to take her injection.

Katniss stares down at the bottle, noticing that it’s nearly empty. “Shit.” She sighs. Only two more doses. She’ll have to hit up the pharmacy first thing tomorrow. She hopes to God she can get a refill.

When she goes back inside, Katniss catches sight of Delly, who immediately heads over.

“You alright?” Delly places a hand on her shoulder.

“Great,” says Katniss, faking a smile.

“Do you want to sit this one out?” Delly asks.

“No. Let’s do this.”

As Katniss finishes an old favorite song of hers, “The Valley Song,” she notices a raucous group of guys off in the corner; they’re applauding, cheering, and whooping loudly, and it brings the briefest of smiles.

“Well, back to work,” says Katniss to herself, heading over to the bar. She notices Delly is taking the guys’ drink order, even though they’re in her section. Probably trying to help her out, which is unnecessary. She decides to go and take over.

When she gets closer to the group, Katniss notes that the one in the middle looks familiar, very familiar. It couldn’t be…

It is.

A smile spreads across her face. She hasn’t seen this boy in quite some time. No, not a boy anymore. He’s a man now.

“Darius?” For the most part, he looks the same, only he’s taller now, more muscular, and his once thick head of red hair is buzzed short.

He sees her, and his mouth drops open. “Katniss?!”

Smiling, she makes her way over to him and throws her arms out. He catches her around the waist and spins her, grinning and laughing.

“It’s been too long,” he exclaims, setting her on her feet. Then he turns to his buddies and motions between them and Katniss. “Can you believe this girl was my babysitter?!”

“Okay, now you’re just making me feel old.” Katniss ruffles his barely-there ginger hair‒it’s so fuzzy and soft.

“Nah, Kat, you were the youngest, prettiest babysitter ever, and I think you’ve only gotten more beautiful.”

“You flatterer.” She gives his still-slightly-chubby cheek a playful smack.

Darius chuckles. “You know, I had a major crush on you back then.”

The group of guys reacts to this, a combination of oohs and laughter.

Katniss’s gaze then flickers across the group of men, her eyes landing on a stocky blond off to the right; he’s flashing her a pearly smile, and he’s got the bluest eyes she’s ever seen.

She snaps her eyes away and looks back at Darius. “I had a feeling.” She smirks, ignoring the pair of blue eyes trained on her.

“Really?” Darius laughs. “Oh man, I’ll bet I was so subtle.”

The other guys laugh, too, and the blond guy with the blue eyes pats him on the shoulder.

“I thought you were the most beautiful girl in the world,” Darius goes on to say. Katniss flushes lightly. “‘Course, I can’t say that anymore, since I’m engaged, but you still come in second.”

The other guys holler and cheer.

“You’re engaged?” Katniss’s eyes widen with delight. “Who’s the lucky girl?”

“Oh,” Darius’s cheeks go bright red. “Rue is her name. She’s great. I’m so lucky. Well, actually, we’re not engaged yet, but I have the ring, and I think she’ll say yes… I’m hopeful, anyway.”

“She’s gonna say yes, for sure,” says the blond guy, and a copper-haired guy gives Darius a shoulder squeeze and chimes in with a ‘definitely.’ One of the other guys starts talking about those great benefits military spouses get.

Darius laughs, and he’s wearing that boyish grin of his that’s never changed. “So, uh, these are the guys from my unit,” he tells her.

“Hi.” Katniss holds up a hand in a static wave, and the guys give her an enthusiastic group greeting.

“So, what can I get you boys?” They’re amused by her calling them boys, and the tall, dark-haired one in the back is quick to correct her, saying they’re ‘men,’ not boys. “Alright, men, what’ll it be?”

They give her their orders; most of them want beer (and she’s pretty sure she’s gonna have to card at least one or two of them); the guy in the back wants a whiskey sour, and oddly enough, Blue Eyes wants sugarless tea.

“Oh, my kinda guy,” she flirts, though she doesn’t know why. The handsome blond just grins.

She leaves to get their drinks. When she returns, she overhears Delly telling them that Katniss just loves military men. That gets them pretty excited.

For crying out loud, Dells.

Katniss shoots her a glare‒she hates when her friend tries to fix her up‒and Delly quickly changes her story. “Actually, I was just kidding. Katniss has a strict no soldiers policy.”

“But we’re Marines!” one of them shouts out.

They all stare at her expectantly, as if they want her to up and choose one of them right now like this is the military version of The Bachelorette‒a show she doesn’t watch but hears waay too much about from her little sister, Prim.

Katniss shakes her head. “Sorry.” And she starts handing them their drinks off the tray.

“Come on, baby,” the one in the back, who definitely gives her the strongest asshole vibe, cajoles with full-on pouty lips.

“No,” she says flatly.

His pout fades away into a grimace. “Oh, I see, so we’re good enough to fight for your ass but not allowed to touch it.”

“Excuse me?”

“Oh, you’re excused. This time,” the dick says.

Katniss glares at him a moment, then spins on her heel to leave. As she’s speed-walking off, empty tray knocking against her thigh, she hears the guys talking.

“What the hell is your problem?” one of them says. “I’m gonna go talk to her.”

Another one replies, “Good luck. Behave yourself, baby boy. Don’t do what he did.”

Katniss is leaning against the bar, waiting for Haymitch to bring back the drinks for one of her tables, when she sees Blondie approaching. She exhales heavily and stares out straight ahead, ignoring him.

“Hey,” he says, leaning against the bar a couple feet away from her.

“Hey,” she deadpans, resting her cheek in her hand, glimpsing him out of the corner of her eye.

“You know, I think Darius was wrong.”

“What?” She turns slightly to look at him.

“About you being the second prettiest girl,” he says. “I’ve seen his girlfriend, and while she’s super cute, you’ve definitely got her beat.”

“Oh? Well, I’m sure D would just love to hear that. Why don’t you go say that to him?” She waves him off with a hand.

“Look,” the guy sighs, “I really just came over here to apologize. Marvel can be a real asshole sometimes, but we’re not all like him.”

“His name is Marvel?” She rolls her eyes, then turns to face Blondie, one hand on her hip. “Well, your friend, Marvel, was just talking about his right to touch my ass, and apparently you also think you’re entitled to do so.”

“That’s not what this is,” he defends.

“Oh? Then what is it?”

He sighs again. “We meant no harm; we’re just here blowing off some steam. It’s our last night on leave, and we ship out to Iraq in two weeks, so we’re a little geared up.”

“Yeah, well, that’s really no excuse for casual misogyny.”

He opens his mouth to speak, then shuts it. “You’re right, it’s not. But I’m hoping you’ll let that go. When guys get together in a group we can get pretty stupid.”

“I’ll say.” She huffs. “We done here?”

“Not yet. We haven’t even been properly introduced. I’m Peeta.” He sticks out his hand. When she doesn’t take it, only stares down at it, he slaps it against the side of his jeans. “And you are?” He raises his brow.

“Your waitress/bartender,” she dismisses. “Excuse me.” She moves past him, but he jogs backwards until he’s blocking her path, and suddenly, she’s staring at a wall of broad chest draped in a snug-fitting green tee.

Katniss stops short and scowls at him. “Look, let’s get this out of the way right now. I’m not interested in you.”

“Why not? Because of what my friend said?”

“No, because I know your type.”

“What’s my type?” Peeta persists.

“Well, let’s see… You’re cute and all too aware of it. You’ve got those boy-next-door good looks, and you’re a soldier, so you probably have the girls lined up. You were probably super popular in high school, too. Prom king? Captain of the football team‒?”

“Wrestling team, actually,” he interjects.

“Same thing.”

“Not actually.”

Katniss raises her eyes to the ceiling and huffs. “Anyway,” she rolls her eyes, “you’re nice enough; you compliment women and hold doors for them, and you’re able to charm your way into the pants of most women you meet.”

“You’re being extremely complimentary of a guy you’re shooting down, you know?”

“Oh, you think I’m paying you compliments?” she snarks.

“Sounds like it,” he snarks right back.

He clears his throat. “I know your type, too, you know,” he adds after a moment.

“Oh, do you?”

“Yep. You’re strong and stubborn. Closed-off. You hate macho, asshole guys‒”

“Who doesn’t?” she cuts in.

“But the nice guys don’t stand a chance, either,” he continues. “Because you keep most people at arms’ length.”

Katniss scoffs.

“Am I close?”

She folds her arms and looks away, and he keeps going.

“You don’t date soldiers because you don’t agree with what we’re out there doing. You’re a pacifist, aren’t you?”

“Actually, I’m quite deadly with a bow. And my best friend enjoys making homemade explosive devices in his garage.”

Peeta gapes, and she smirks satisfactorily at shutting his mouth. “That’s not funny,” he says.

For a moment, at least.

“There’s nothing wrong with pacifism, but there comes a point when it no longer works. You can complain about the government and Tweet about people’s rights all you want, but that doesn’t change what’s going on in the world, or how serious the situation we’re in really is.”

Katniss scoffs. “Ugh, do you have a Ph.D. in mansplaining?”

“Sorry, but am I wrong? Sometimes you have to stand up and fight, you know. Turn around and face what wants you dead.”

Fed up, Katniss turns her back on him.

“Hey, you have a tattoo on your lower back. Peace dove?”

She turns around to glare at him over her shoulder. He’s smirking at her. “Actually, it’s on my ass, which you can’t touch, but you can kiss.”

*** (this happens later on)

“Let’s get matching tattoos or something to seal our…marriage.”

“Peace doves?” he teases.

Katniss smirks. “Actually, I was thinking dandelions. They symbolize rebirth, abundant strength and power. Also, hope.”

Peeta smiles. “I like that. Let’s do it.”

…

“Where’d you get yours?” he asks.

“Wait and see.” She grins back at him.
