This has been in my inbox for a long time and I am just now remembering to answer/having the energy to haha. I LOVE receiving asks i am just sometimes bad at remembering to answer them <3

I headcanon that they are carefree little rascals who love singing, painting, swimming, playing imaginary games, and going outside. They are raised in a loving environment, and I think they are really lovely, sweet kids who have been taught resilience and emotional intelligence from Katniss and Peeta. Who I know would make wonderful parents, though I think they'd both sometimes worry that they were messing up somehow.

Katniss would get advice from her mom because before her dad died there was a point where her parents were stable, happy, and had very good parenting methods. I think this would be a way Katniss would get closer with her mom. I also think that Haymitch would be a grandpa/uncle figure to the kids, and would grow to really like spending time with them and watching them.

If Katniss is around 18 by the end of mockingjay, then she'd be 33/34 when she had her daughter cause it was 15 years later that they chose to have a kid.

I'd say the kids are 5 years apart because I once read the epilogue is 20 years in the future? Not sure if that is confirmed, but it is what I headcanon. So their daughter would be 5, and their son would be a baby as Katniss was holding him in a blanket at the end (in my imagination at least).

For their names I have different headcanons than a lot of the fandom. I don't like the commonly used names for the toast babies. Well, I like the girl's name but not the boy's personally.

I imagine they are named Willow and River. I love the name Willow and it's connection to the song Katniss sung to Rue and Prim, and I like how River sounds. I like to imagine that maybe Katniss found a river out in the woods when she was pregnant with him, and would sit by it with Peeta. I think they'd name their kids meaningful names based on experiences and songs.

I also think that Katniss and Peeta would maybe take the Everdeen last name instead of the Mellark one. Katniss had a strong connection to her family and she was very close with them, Peeta was even close with her family too. I think Peeta would maybe go with Peeta Everdeen because it was so important to Katniss to keep her last name going, and I think Peeta would maybe enjoy being disconnected from the last name that he had while he was experiencing so much pain, neglect, and abuse. The last name that those abusing him also had. Even though I'm sure he'd still have complex, conflicting thoughts and feelings about his family.

However, I am also into the idea that they both chose a new last name for their future. Only I don't know what that last name would be as I have not thought too hard about it yet.

I think both of the children like singing and painting, but I like to think that their son really stuck with singing and music, and their daughter advanced in painting. I think they both learned quite a few different art related activities to keep them occupied.

Bonus: I unfortunately have yet to read a lot of post-mockingjay fics though I really want to soon! but I do know some of my lovely mutuals who write a lot of hunger games fanfic. @thesweetnessofspring and @mollywog ! <3
