If you haven’t read this yet, you are totally missing out! I will definitely reread before Christmas. 💗

Wrapped in Red

Summary: Katniss is trying to be a good friend to her recently divorced pal. She really is. But this holiday season, fate, her own feelings, and Peeta’s daughter have other plans. An advent style Everlark story.

Rating: E for explicit sexual content, and explicit language.

A/N: It's been six years since I wrote and posted this story. Hard to believe how much has happened since then. 2024 marks ten years since I started posting fanfic, and I've always wanted to celebrate an anniversary like that with something special. So for the next thirteen months (December through December), I plan on featuring two of my finished fanfic stories per month. As part of that, I'm opening my inbox to prompts for outtakes/futuretakes etc, thoughts, or questions about those stories, and I'm kicking it off now with this story.

For those of you who haven't read it, Wrapped in Red is a 27 chapter, advent style Everlark story. The prologue takes place one year before Chapter 1. Each chapter thereafter is one day in the life of Everlark from Dec 1st to Dec 25th. The epilogue takes place on Dec 31st five years later.

Wrapped in Red is, far and away, my most read and popular fanfic, having sat in the top spot for both hits and kudos for at least two years at this point. Thank you to everyone who has already shown this story so much love and I hope anyone who is new to it enjoys my matchmaking, kiss demanding despot ninja (aka Peeta’s daughter, Karina) as much as I enjoyed dreaming her up and writing her.

You can read the whole story on AO3. Two future scenes can be found HERE and HERE. ❤️ kdnfb

Gorgeous!

Does that make any sense?..

My feet move soundlessly across the tiles. I’m only yard behind him when I say, “You should be getting some sleep.” He starts but doesn’t turn. I can see him give his head a slight shake. “I didn’t want to miss the party. It’s for us, after all.” I come up beside him and lean over the edge of the rail. The wide streets are full of dancing people. I squint to make out their tiny figures in more detail. “Are they in costumes?” “Who could tell?” Peeta answers. “With all the crazy clothes they wear here. Couldn’t sleep, either?” “Couldn’t turn my mind off,” I say. “Thinking about your family?” he asks. “No,” I admit a bit guiltily. “All I can do is wonder about tomorrow. Which is pointless, of course.” In the light from below, I can see his face now, the awkward way he holds his bandaged hands. “I really am sorry about your hands.” “It doesn’t matter, Katniss,” he says. “I’ve never been a contender in these Games anyway.” “That’s no way to be thinking,” I say. “Why not? It’s true. My best hope is to not disgrace myself and . . .” He hesitates. “And what?” I say. “I don’t know how to say it exactly. Only . . . I want to die as myself. Does that make any sense?” he asks. I shake my head. How could he die as anyone but himself? “I don’t want them to change me in there. Turn me into some kind of monster that I’m not.” / The Hunger Games, chapter 10

The Midnight Club - Season Two

I'm very disappointed that Netflix has decided not to pursue a second season of THE MIDNIGHT CLUB.

My biggest disappointment is that we left so many story threads open, holding them back for the hypothetical second season, which is always a gamble.

So I'm writing this blog as our official second season, so you can know what might have been, learn the fates of your favorite characters, and know the answers to those dangling story threads from the first season.

So for those of you who want to know what we were planning to do, here's a look at what would have been season 2!

AMESH Season 2 would open with Amesh, his glioblastoma advancing quickly. He would tell the first story of the season, but would be struggling to make it through. We'd focus on his love story with Natsuki for those first few episodes as it becomes clear that Amesh's death is imminent.

Meanwhile, Ilonka is trying to reconcile how she was fooled by Julia Jayne, all while falling further in love with Kevin, and she realizes he may be fading faster than he lets on.

Ilonka begins a serialized story in an effort to encourage him to "stay alive a little longer," like he did in season one. And the story she tells is... REMEMBER ME.

This was the thing I was most excited about for this season.

REMEMBER ME is one of my all-time favorite Pike books - it tells the story of a teenage girl who is pushed off a balcony, and awakens as a ghost. She has to navigate being a spirit while trying to solve her own murder. We would have stretched this story out over 5 episodes. We were going to use it as a vehicle for Ilonka to try to come to terms with the fact that she is going to die, and to begin to trying to wrap her head around being a ghost... but this is the coolest part... the lead character of Ilonka's story wouldn't be played by Ilonka. She'd be played by...

Anya.

Because this is how we live on, isn't it? In the minds of those we leave behind. And Ilonka would use REMEMBER ME as a way to imagine her dear friend Anya, waking up as a ghost, navigating the afterlife. And this sets up one of the best mechanisms of the show - even if a character dies, as long as they're remembered by members of the club, they live on in their stories.

As the story starts to pick up steam, though, the group will have to deal with the death of Amesh, which he greets with grace and bravery.

In his final moments, he sees someone in his room - the Janitor from the first season, as played by Robert Longstreet, who says comforting things to Amesh even though he can't respond.

In his final, final moments, the SHADOW descends upon Amesh, and he is engulfed into it, which reinforces the idea that the Shadow is DEATH...

With Amesh's death comes something that upends the entire thing: a NEW PATIENT. We didn't work out too much about who this would be, but it would be a new roommate for Ilonka. Someone taking Anya's old bed. Ilonka would find herself being initially cold to her - just as Anya was when Ilonka arrived. Even feeling like this new girl shouldn't necessarily be ushered into the Club. But of course they would develop a beautiful friendship over the course of the season. The new girl joins the club, where something else exciting is happening - Cheri is telling a story. We hadn't decided which one, but I think it might have been MONSTER.

Natsuki would be the next to die, which would be heartbreaking. And again, she would talk to the janitor just before it happened... and again, the Shadow would come in the final moments.

For Spence, though, things would take a different turn.

The advancements in HIV treatment in the late 90's would come into play, and we'd see his prognosis change. The HIV cocktail came out in Dec 1995, and we really wanted to explore that.

Spence would ride the swell of antiviral advancements, and by the end of the season, he'd no longer be classified as terminal. In the finale of season 2, Spence would leave Brightcliffe just like Sandra did in Season 1, heading off to manage his disease and live the rest of his life.

But onto the BIG MYSTERIES of the season one... here are some answers: What is up with Dr. Stanton's tattoo and bald head? Well, a few things. First, Dr. Stanton is actually the daughter of the original Paragon cult leader, Aceso. Her nickname was Athena, she wrote the Paragon journal that Ilonka found in S1. She turned on her mother and helped the kids escape, but because she was part of the cult in her teenage years, she had the tattoo.

It was her initials that Ilonka found carved into the tree in season 1 (her maiden name was Georgina Ballard, hence the G.B. that Ilonka finds carved in the tree).

She hated what her mother became, and the atrocities of the cult. She reclaimed the property after her mom was gone, and wanted to change it into a place that celebrated life. She was trying to undo her mother's legacy and leave something behind that was beautiful. She is wearing a wig at the end of S1 not because of a sinister reason, but because she is undergoing chemo. Dr. Stanton has cancer. Having helped so many people deal with disease, she now has to deal with it herself.

Her treatment would be successful, and she'd go into remission, but having to face that - while caring for the terminal kids at Brightcliffe - was going to be a very introspective arc for Stanton.

What about the Living Shadow? It's Death, right? Well... no.

At the end of the season, Kevin will die... followed shortly by Ilonka. And as she is dying, two things will happen. First, she'll find herself talking to the Janitor, played by Robert Longstreet... and she'll make a discovery.

HE is Death. And nothing to be afraid of. It turns out no one else ever saw this character. Stanton has a cleaning service, and the Nurse practitioners make up the rooms - the only people who ever saw this mysterious Janitor were the patients. He is Death, and offers them kind words before they die. Then what was the Shadow?

This is an idea we take directly from the book REMEMBER ME, and we'll see it play out in the final moments of Ilona's final tale. In Pike's book, Shari is pursued by a dark entity called The Shadow. When it finally catches her, though, it turns out it is not a bad thing at all.

The Shadow is THEMSELVES. It's the Unknown. As it engulfs someone, in the last moment of their life, it takes them through a place of understanding and catharsis, preparing them for the next step.

THIS is what happened to Anya in S1 when the Shadow finally reached her - that's why she fantasized a life beyond Brightcliffe, which ultimately let her find acceptance of her death. It looks different for everybody, depending on their mind-set - because it is simply an extension of themselves.

The Shadow is just the final catharsis, a return to our original form - it is a moment of true understanding, and once we experience it, we move on to the next place.

We see the Shadow in full effect when it finally comes for Kevin. KEVIN DIES with Ilonka at his side, and it leads to the biggest reveal of the season:

Who were the Mirror Man and the Cataract Woman?

They were Stanley Oscar Freelan and his wife, who built Brightcliffe (fun trivia, he is named after the real-life Freelan Oscar Stanley, who built my favorite hotel in America - the Stanley Hotel. The Stanley is also the inspiration for THE SHINING!).

But more than that... there's a reason that Ilonka only sees Stanley in the mirror, and sees the Cataract Woman whenever she looked at Kevin. This is something else we took from Pike's original book... these aren't ghosts, but glimpses of PAST LIVES.

Ilonka WAS Stanley Oscar Freelan, and Kevin WAS his wife. They've lived many lives this way, and are true SOUL MATES - they always find each other, and they always fall in love. In this life, they knew it would be a short one, so they agreed to find each other in the house they built. They've been "remembering" who they are, and glimpsing their former selves in reflections, and sometimes when they look at each other. This is also why Ilonka's very first words to Kevin in S1 were "Do I know you?" and why Kevin thought she was familiar as well. They are two souls who always find each other, again and again.

The story is this: Stanley was dying, and built this cliffside home hoping that the seaside air would help him. It did, and he far outlived his prognosis (this is also true of the real-life Freelan Stanley). However, his wife began to succumb to dementia.

She would wander the halls, looking for him ("Darling!") and would even forget to feed herself ("I'm starving...") and she eventually refused to leave the basement. Heartbroken for her, Stanley painted the walls to resemble the woodland view, and the ceiling to resemble the night sky, so that it would be a little more beautiful for her.

He also painted a labyrinth on the floor, which was a technique used to try to curb the effects of dementia. She'd walk the pattern of the maze and it was believed it could help her cognition. Eventually, she developed frightening cataracts, but Stanley loved her through it all.

They were soul mates.

So while they seemed scary in season 1, that was just how Ilonka and Kevin's mind were trying to remember their pasts. We even had their faces distorting in ways consistent with how memories degrade over time. When the Shadow comes for Ilonka, and gives her this understanding - this "remembering" - she realizes she has nothing to fear. She and Kevin will shed these personas and be reborn, and have the joy of finding each other another way. The Shadow comes for her, Death takes her gently, and Ilonka goes off with Kevin back into the cosmos, ready for their next incarnation. The series would end with Cheri telling this story to a whole new table of patients, including our new series leads. Most of our original cast now would exist as stories, a story told to the next "class" of storytellers at the table, all of whom we will have met by the end of the season. A story called "The Midnight Club."

Well, that's it... that was what we had in mind. It's a shame we won't get to make it, but it would be a bigger shame if you guys simply had to live with the unanswered questions and the cliffhanger ending. I loved making this show, and I am so proud of the cast and crew. Particularly our cast, who attacked this story with incredible spirit and bravery each and every day.

But for now, we'll put the fire out, and leave the library dark and quiet. To those before, and to those after. To us now, and to those beyond.

Seen or unseen, here but not here.

I'll always be grateful that I got to be part of this Club.

Also I’m very intrigued by the “twelve months” one, because “twelve months” is Russian (slavic?) fairy tale and one of my favorite from childhood. And I actually had plans to draw some Everlark based on this fairy tale (veeeeeeery loosely based), I even searched for references some time ago ;) wow. I need to check this fic.

So many fantasy/fairy tale fics, that are your favorite? ;)

[quadwife]

Love this Drabble! 💗

Well the story I was trying to work on will not happen but I read THIS post yesterday and I could not get the Everlark out of my head. So I drabbled it from my brain.

Oh for fuck’s sake.

I look up at the sound of soft voices and footsteps, as the door to the diner eases closed. Who decides they need mediocre food that is eighty percent grease ten minutes to close? I can only make out three heads in varying shades of blonde that all sit atop mountains of shoulder. Then I push my way back into the kitchen.

Today has been shitty. Like wake up late, speeding ticket, car overheating all before my shift started shitty and it has just carried on from there. Rent’s due, tips have been meager and apparently dumping orange juice on some redneck for grabbing my ass was not acceptable retribution. My feet hurt and my eyes want to cross. That table full of assholes are probably drunk and now I’m not going to get home until after two if I’m lucky.

I could growl if that was an actual thing. Who growls? Oh right, all those well muscled alpha male protagonists that make me want to scream in every smutty book I’ve read lately. Yes. I am also frustrated with my New Adult Kindle selection. Where are the sensitive intelligent men that are happy to let me lead, but also want to go down on me like they would be happy to die between my thighs? Oh and who then make me pancakes.

Shit. I need a man who can make pancakes.

Pinching the bridge of my nose I admit to myself the whole between my thighs things would also be nice. How long has it been? Oh no, that is way too depressing I am not even going there.

Okay. I can survive an hour, and hopefully coerce these douche bags to eat quick and then it is me and a date with my shower…hell and my showerhead it has been a stressful day.

With a deep breath I set my shoulders and a pinched smile on my face and make my way out to their booth.

“Hey guys, welcome to Sae’s. What can I get you tonight?”

I don’t really make eye contact at first, just set rolled silverware in the middle of the table before grabbing menus that I tucked into the back of my apron. With a tug they come free but in doing so knock a blue and white walking stick or something to the floor that was propped next to the booth.

Rolling my eyes, I mutter under my breath and stoop to pick it back up and then start shoving menus into the hands of these blonde strangers. One, two, and after a couple tries finally the guy closest to me grips it. Pay attention asshole. Oh you’ve got to be kidding me? When I look at him he has on sunglasses. Nice. Hungover and wasting my time.

With a huff I grab my notepad and without looking up I take their drink orders.

Scribbling them down and anxiously clicking my pen I ask, “Okay the menu is pretty small do  you guys see anything you like?”

At their silence I look up to see two of the men staring at me with open mouths, but also kind of glancing at the youngest one, the one closest to me near my hip. I just stare back until I hear him chuckle softly to my left which gets my attention.

Keep reading

Amen!

Not even a little bit sorry but if there wasn’t a love story in the hunger games then I wouldn’t have liked it at all. I know a lot of people look down on those who read or watched a story about war and capitalism and decided what they liked most about it was the romance but the love story was the counterpoint to an otherwise incredibly bleak look at humanity. Suzanne Collins showed us exactly what humans are capable of doing to each other on both ends of the spectrum. We can hold so much hatred in our hearts that it leads us to hate and kill people we don’t even know, but we also can love and knowingly put ourselves in harms way for the sake of our loved ones and we can have and raise children to hold love in their hearts too. Without the romance, it wouldn’t have been a full picture and there wouldn’t have been the hopeful note and directive that she leaves us with to be kind to others and let love fill our hearts instead of hate.

Beautiful as always! 💗

It is ridiculous how gorgeous this is!! @little-lynx your work is phenomenal!

UNFORGIVING

I can't help catching glimpses of us on the huge screens along the route, and we are not just beautiful, we are dark and powerful. No, more. We star-crossed lovers from District 12, who suffered so much and enjoyed so little the rewards of our victory, do not seek the fans' favor, grace them with our smiles, or catch their kisses. We are unforgiving. And I love it. // Catching Fire, chapter 15

P.S. I’m finally back guys ;)

Beautiful! 💗

prompt katniss brings home a puppy without telling peeta first

Ever since Lila was born, I've had a soft spot for all things baby.

She's three now, but her baby days are still fresh in my mind. I think about my daughter when she was tiny and helpless, then my mind wanders and I start thinking of Peeta as a baby - thoughts which I've been known to shed a tear over. It doesn't help that I'm almost five months along with our son, Grayer, and feeling every emotion tenfold.

I have babies on the mind all day, every day. So, there was really no question whether or not the stray shepherd puppy we found in the square today, looking lost and sullen, would come home with us.

She's black and brown with pointy ears and a long snout. If her paws tell me anything, she's not going to stay little for long, but as of right now, it doesn't seem like she should even be apart from her mother yet.

Lila named her Sunday, after today - the day we rescued her.

I carted Sunday home in my arms and Lila held onto my skirt the whole way there. We washed her in the basin in the basement, scrubbed all of the dirt and grime that homelessness left on her, and fed her a bowl of chicken and rice. Now, she and Lila are gleefully chasing each other in circles around the kitchen.

While watching them, I glance out the window and see Peeta coming up the front walk. I widen my eyes, cursing myself for not being prepared for him to come home. There was no time to get him to weigh in on bringing Sunday home. She needed saving. I couldn't have left her in the square to beg for scraps - or worse, starve.

I hurry out the front door and meet him on the steps. "Hey, you," he says, leaning in to kiss me with one hand on my belly. "Where's Lila May?"

"Inside," I say. I rest my hand on his chest and hold him in place. "Listen, I have to tell you something."

Before I can start explaining what happened today, the front door opens and Lila and Sunday come bounding out.

"Daddy!" Lila says, crashing into Peeta's legs to give him a hug. "Look what we got. A puppy!"

Peeta stares at Sunday, who's sitting politely and looking up like she can't wait to be introduced. With her little tail wagging, it's almost like she's smiling at him.

Peeta doesn't smile back, though. Instead, he looks at me with a confused, muddled expression. "A dog?" he says.

"We found her," I say. "She was abandoned in the square, all alone. You should've seen how hungry she was."

"Her name is Sunday!" Lila says, throwing her arms around the puppy's neck to give the dog a hug. "She's so cute. Right, Daddy?"

Peeta takes a deep breath and runs his hands through his hair. Instead of looking at the puppy, he looks at the ceiling and exhales slowly. "A new baby in four months and a new puppy," he says, walking inside and taking off his shoes. "Katniss... come on."

"I know," I say. "I know. But it'll be okay. She needed a home."

"But our home?" he says, following Lila and the dog with his eyes as they run around the couch. "Dogs are a lot of work, Katniss."

"I know, Peeta," I say, snapping a bit.

"I would've appreciated a heads-up before you jumped into this," he says, glancing over as Lila and Sunday clumsily start wrestling on the rug. "I need to clear my head, alright?"

"Sure," I say, crossing my arms and feeling disheartened.

Lila and I spend time outside with Sunday, running around to get her energy out. By the time the sun has begun to set, both my daughter and the puppy are dragging their feet - clearly ready for bed.

"Bath time for little girls," I say, carrying Lila on my hip as we go up the stairs. Sunday follows close behind, tripping over her big feet along the way. As I fill up the tub and help my daughter disrobe, Sunday lays on the bathroom rug and chews on a piece of cardboard.

"Where's Daddy?" Lila asks once she's sitting in the sudsy water. "Did he got mad?"

"Not mad," I say, getting her hair wet. "He was just surprised."

"Surprises are fun!" Lila says, lifting her arms and spraying bubbles in an arc.

"Not always," I say. "Sunday needed a home - she needed us, but Daddy would've liked to know about her first."

"Oh," Lila says, peering over the edge of the tub. She and Sunday meet eyes, the dog's little eyebrows quirking up from where she lies. "She's still my doggie, right?"

"Right," I say. "Now, tip your head back so Mommy can rinse you."

...

While I brush out Lila's curls, Sunday sits at my daughter's feet and licks water droplets off her ankles. As I tuck Lila under the covers, Sunday hops onto the bed and gets comfortable like this is something she's done all her life.

"My doggie," Lila says, resting a hand on Sunday's side. "My doggie."

Her eyes have just fully closed when I sense Peeta behind me. I turn around, still stroking Lila's damp hair, and give him a soft, tentative smile.

"Hi," I whisper.

He studies the pair of them - his daughter and her new puppy - for a long time. A few moments pass before he walks into the room and sits beside me on the edge of Lila's bed.

"I wanted a puppy when I was little," he says. "Lila's age. Real little." He blinks slowly and rests his elbows on his knees. "I would draw pictures of them all day long. I had a raggedy stuffed dog that I loved. The best thing I could imagine was having a real one of my own." He shakes his head. "I guess my mom got tired of hearing me beg. One birthday, when I asked for a puppy, she slapped me across the face so hard that I fell to the floor. I was four years old, and I remember it like yesterday."

He sits up straight and meets my eyes. The apples of his cheeks are flushed red, but not in a good way - instead, in a way that makes my stomach twist.

"I'm sorry for how I reacted," he says. "My mind went back there. I couldn't stop it."

"I'm sorry for not asking you," I say, "or telling you."

He nods and leans forward again, and I wrap an arm around the broad expanse of his back. He rests against my side, one hand on my round belly, and relaxes significantly.

"I always wanted to give our kids everything I didn't have," he says, rubbing my thigh in a steady, soothing rhythm. "And I see now that Sunday is the perfect way to do it."

I’m dying!! 💗

oooo could we get something soft and warm and snuggly before the toastbabies come along?

Seeing Katniss pregnant has done something to my brain. I can't look at her and her round little belly without feeling powerful emotion course through me, knowing that something - someone - that we made is growing inside her.

She's six months along and getting used to her body and all of its new quirks. For one, she's always hot - and that was never the case before. Right now, it's the dead of winter and she's on the couch with her shirt pulled up, belly exposed, wearing shorts and no socks.

Another thing is that she is always hungry, and she'll cry at the drop of a hat. And it's almost guaranteed that when she gets comfortable somewhere, she'll end up falling asleep.

She's asleep right now, in front of the low-burning fire. She's surrounded by pillows - one supporting her back, one sandwiched between her knees, and another tucked under her head. The apples of her cheeks are a bit flushed, but she seems cozy.

I can see our little daughter kicking from the inside if I look hard enough. Once in a while, I'll see the shape of a tiny foot press against Katniss's stomach like our baby is trying to get my attention.

We decided that her name will be Jade. Jade Ivory, which is an old family name of Katniss's.

On Katniss's lap is a book much like the plant book that we've come close to finishing. This book is a little different, though. The cover is a soft pink, hand-painted by me, and on the pages are carefully written memories and anecdotes from throughout Katniss's pregnancy so far. This is Jade's baby book. We don't want to forget anything, and we want to share it all with her - every moment.

I save it from falling to the floor, as it's begun to slip from Katniss's grip. I pick it up and look at the page she'd been writing on, finding a small paragraph that reads:

"Having you in my belly makes me so sleepy. You like to be awake at night and quiet during the day, except when you get the hiccups. You like it when I eat pears, but we found out you're not a fan of red or green peppers. You spin and spin when you hear mine or your dada's voice, and you love it when we sing. We think you know it's us who's talking. We can't wait to meet you... we're counting down the days, sweet Jade."

I smile as I read the words that she wrote, then shut the book and tie it with the attached ribbon. I slip behind Katniss on the couch, as she's left plenty of room for me, then pull her close with an arm wrapped around her middle - my hand flat over her swollen belly.

I close my eyes and press my lips to the back of her shoulder, cherishing the feeling of having her so close, so warm, breathing evenly and deeply, comfortable and safe.

Jade twirls under my hand and I stroke Katniss's stomach with my thumb, hoping that our baby can feel it in the same way I know her mother can.

"I sure do love you," I whisper, then kiss the side of my wife's neck and fall asleep while holding my two favorite people close.
