    Summary

    When her mother and Prim head out into the Seam late one evening to help folks after a small fire in the Hob, Katniss finds herself alone in her house. After waking from a nightmare, she decides to do something about it.

    Set in my Victor, Mentor, Mockingjay Universe as a prequel to the first fic (takes place the spring before Owen and Mira's Games)! But in theory could be read as a canon-compliant stand-alone One Shot set between the Victory Tour and the Quarter Quell Announcement!

    Summary

    I let the warmth that Peeta has set loose in me take hold and without planning to, a sigh of satisfaction escapes my lips. My body sags against his own, and I revel in the closeness that I’ve gone so long without.
    --
    When Katniss and Peeta meet in the television room on the train, she realizes that the reason he feels so good and she missed him so much is because she loves him. She tells Peeta what she wants. (It's him.)

    Summary

    They always said Peeta had a silver tongue—capable of stirring hearts or rousing a mob to bloodlust with a single breath. She had never understood the true weight of that gift, not really, until the day those soft, honeyed words she once clung to were stripped of their warmth and reforged into blades.

    Blades meant for her.

    And as they cut, clean and merciless, she realized that nothing in the arena had ever hurt her as much as hearing the boy with the bread turn his voice—the gentlest thing she’d ever known—into something that could destroy her.

    Summary

    Peeta Mellark has always noticed things.

    A flinch. A held breath. A girl shrinking into herself.

    He learned early how to read storms before they broke—how to survive the kind of home where you keep your voice down and your guard up.

    Maybe that’s why Katniss Everdeen stood out to him from the very beginning.

    This story follows Peeta as he grows up alongside (and often just behind) Katniss: the young woman he’d do anything to protect—but will never push.

    A companion piece to He Would Respect Her Choice, told entirely through Peeta’s eyes.

    A study in gentleness, trauma-informed love, and the long, quiet work of choosing respect over possession.

    Summary

    She hated the Games. She hated the Capitol. But in moments like this—small, quiet, cruel moments—she hated District 12 almost as much.
