The Road Ahead (More Hindsight AU)

Orignal Hindsight AU

A/N- Orignal warning apply. This is not friendly to Peeta, please enjoy your day/night by continueing on if that is not to your likeing. FOR REAL, please don't torture yourself if your a Peeta fan, skip this. I would absoulutly be with you if my mind would stop wanting the angst. This one is through Peeta's PoV so I promise this is argueably worse than the OG one. Upside is I got to write some Delly! Which helped to make it worth it. Hope those craveing the angst enjoy this. And with luck this will be the end of this plot bunny/alternate universe for me.

This idea came to me I think, octorber of last year so as much as it makes me want to cry I am glad to have finally finished it.

Also yes: I did tag everthorne and Gale for a reason. Avoid like the plague if you have a problem with it. They are not the focus here, but they are presant and portrayed as happy here. So my everthrone antis can also continue on your day without reading this better off for it, too.

Delly's footsteps slow their pattern of hitting the dirt ground and she gently grabs his hand with hers.

"Peeta, I'm glad you are letting me hang around while rebuilding the bakery. Spending time with you after so long has been nice. Really nice."

Knowing anything he says could give a wrong impression, Peeta smiles politely and nods to agree. Delly decides to throw all of her cards on the table and leans into him for a kiss which Peeta gently steps back from. Putting a gentle hand on her shoulders to make his message unmistakable.

For her part, Delly doesn't seem upset. Disappointment shades her features but not any anger or sadness. It relieves him a bit, seeing she didn't take it too harshly. Even if there is no small amount of guilt pooling in his gut. Still, it was nice to see she wasn't terribly hurt. That was the last thing he wanted.

"Sorry. I just- I had to try. Only once, tell you before I moved on." Delly explains.

"No, no don't be. Delly if I could just feel the same way you do I would. If it were up to me, I promise you it'd be different. Please know you are amazing, alright? Don't let me not being able to get my head out of my rear end make you think otherwise." Peeta explains.

A smile is flashed at him, and they continue to walk through the path covered with the forests downed leaves. For a moment he thinks he couldn't get more lucky to have Delly as his closest friend. Peeta wishes it were as simple, as easy to forget he'd already given his heart away and to be with her instead. It isn't, and he has tried and tried hard to let himself fall into something with her. To pretend otherwise would be a lie. Delly deserved much, much better than that.

Katniss Everdeen did exist, and even though she had chosen Gale, he couldn't love anyone like he had loved her no matter how much he wanted to or tried. Despite truly trying in the last few weeks to let this time with Delly grow something it was fruitless. Peeta wished it was as easy as choosing her.

"Peeta, can I say one last thing? Then we can talk about anything you want, forget this ever happened?" She asks, and he nods. She meets her eyes with his. "Katniss…she's happy, Peeta. And I wish that you could be that way too. I know you are content, and at peace with how things are. But you've earned more than that, whether I'm involved or not. Just think about it, okay? Maybe start looking at the road ahead of you. Deciding what you want it to look like."

He can't stop himself. Peeta doesn't want to make these promises cause he doesn't feel confident in fulfilling them. But Peeta decides, he is trying. Reopening the bakery is the start even if doesn't feel as successful as he'd hoped. "I promise, Dells."

Inside he knows, as usual, she is right. Katniss, for the last few weeks as far as he understands, has been on an extended hunting trip with Gale, thoroughly enjoying herself and filled with life if the look she had while smiling as they packed their gear the morning they left was any indication. She's never been more where is meant to be. Somehow she'd scratched something pleasant for herself after it all. With that, it would be logical to make an effort to have something like that for himself.

Peeta was sure he wouldn't get that far. Though he's trying, Katniss could be confident in choosing what she wanted, or at least not be affected by his reaction. And that Delly wouldn't worry about him sulking himself to an early grave.

"Good!" Delly trills, loosely taking his arm. When he stays silent, she offers more chatting to continue and lighten the conversation. "Is this rumor about a new cinnamon roll recipe I am hearing about true? If so, I volunteer as a taste tester."

It's really nice to see the hunger games fans passionately hate Gale. At least majority

“Sweetheart. You're silly.”

|——————————— ⸆⸉ ———————————|

The bedroom was dimly lit, and the sound of the fan humming to send gentle winds across your skin were all you could hear, aside from the tv show Taylor was watching.

"Glasses are stupid..." you murmur, your voice holding frustration. You've been cuddling with Taylor for the past few minutes, resting the side of your head against her.

Taylor looks down, blinking at you. "Why, baby?" she whispers with a chuckle, raising her eyebrow. "They help you see, you know," she adds, smiling softly.

You sigh softly, leaning more into her. "Yeah, but I can't...bury my face and be comfortable with you unless its, like, bedtime..." you murmured, your voice sounding oh, so defeated. Even the way it rested on the bridge of your nose felt uncomfortable.

Her features soften, but she resists to laugh, stifling it by pursing her lips.

"Sweetheart..." she starts, her arms gently pulling you closer. You melt into her, as if she was one of your plushies.

"Why don't you just get contacts?" she suggests, her mind wandering. But then she feels you tense slightly, hugging her further.

"Contacts are scary," you mumbled, pouting ever so slightly. This time, she couldn't resist at least a chuckle getting breathed out.

"Because they go in your eyes?" she whispers, leaning forward and tilting her head down ever so slightly, wanting to see your pout.

You nod gently, taking in a deep breath. "Yeah, and because some things happen to people who wear them," you whisper out, nearly hiding into her side the best you could.

She could understand it now, what you meant. But with her having gotten one herself before, she would at least want to urge you to, considering she was fine.

"Its not all the time though," she reassures, her hand soothingly going in a slow up and down motion on your arm.

You look up at her, pouting even deeper, possibly. "Still scary." You slump your shoulders, your glasses shining in even in the dim light.

She smiles softly at you, seeing how upset you were. "Here," she murmurs, her hand reaching up to your glasses.

"Just take it off..." She slips them off your ears carefully, then folded them, setting them at the side, where the nightstand was.

"But I can't see your gorgeous face," you mumbled. She blushes, but now giggled softly, her arms returning to wrap around you once more.

"Baby, shh...we're close enough, just kiss me all over or something if you want to be closer," she said, leaning in to sweetly kiss your cheek.

A smile replaces your pout now, and you return the kiss, but on her lips. "I love you," you breathed out against her lips.

Her smile turned even wider, and she kisses you back, with just as much affection.

"I love you, too," she whispers. You bury your face into her finally, cuddling closer. Her heart melts at the gesture, and she pulls you even more against her.

[sabrinasfeather]

Also sorry for spamming but I wanna hear your thoughts on this one bc your my fav Everthrone/Galeniss blog, so my two favorite lines in the books are "I call him my friend, but in the last year it's seemed too casual of a word for what Gale is to me" and "Gale is mine. I am his. Anything else is unthinkable." Like. What. Sorry. What. WHAT? Tell me when she has ever felt so strong about Peeta. And I don't mean just because of the survival habit and the mindsets "I owe him for the bread" and "If I'm near him, I'll survive"

No worries!! I loved coming to tumblr to see this ask, keep ‘em coming! But back to the question, I like you, absolutely love those lines of Katniss. I think it’s sad how many fans ignore just how vital Gale was to Katniss’s happiness, and alternately, how supportive Gale was to her. I’m pretty sure Katniss says in Mockingjay that she knows Gales love for her is unconditional (bc it is) And even if people don’t ship Katniss and Gale (which also is completely valid!) I wish they could realize Gale is her best friend! He took care of her family, risked his life to save Peeta and helped with his hijacking, and pretty much always supported her decisions, even if he didn’t fully agree.

[allisluv]

Omg Peeta x reader where it's like that one audio from TikTok "I can't believe it's you and me and me and you, just us… and your friend Steve!" Au where Peeta and Gale are best friends (I hate the love triangle sm because they have so much bff potential) and Gale is just Steve from the audio, constantly third wheeling on their dates 😭 Like if it's modern au he comes over for their movie nights or if it's in the Panem au he would come over to the bakery and not take the hints that Peeta and reader want some alone time, but not in like a rude way, yk what I mean 😭

PS pls headcanons form, I didn't specify it and I would LOVE to see you write for Peeta, I don't really like him until they get to CF arena and from then on he's an okay dude but he really has some moments that make me love him (the fan base can be pretty toxic bc I stan Gale and ship Everthrone tho :()

i love this request anon! everyone is welcome on my page, regardless of whether i agree with their opinions or not, so don't worry!! <3

in my opinion, gale is very autistic!coded (and i can go into detail if you need me too) so i think him missing the social cues is very very on the nose 😭

peeta would be too kind to tell gale to leave you two alone, so he's waiting it out and shooting you apologetic smiles throughout your day.

gale is definitely the type of person to invite himself along on your dates and complain when you two act like a couple LMAO

even when you do drop hints, they just fly over his head. like dude is the definition of oblivious

so in order to get some time alone, peeta works around gales schedule. if he's working in the mines, peeta will steal you away for a romantic dinner or a day out in the meadow <3

[nickeverdeen]

Can I ask what's your favorite and least favorite canon and non-canon ship for every fandom? I'd like to get to know you better! (Obvi you can choose two or more if you can't decide)

Omg, hi cariño, I gotta say that in some fandoms I don’t really have favourite ships so I’m sorryyyy and I’m sorry for answering the next day, but it was a lot to put together.

To everyone please be respectful

Least favourite ship = Orange / Favourite ship = Green

Overwatch

Okay, I’ve never really looked through ships for this fandom, but I do have a little thing going over here

Cannon = Cassidy x Mercy - McMercy / Lena x Emily - Lenily

Non-canon = Genji x Lena - Grencer / Genji x Mercy - Gency

Why = I’m not sure, but going to McMercy I never really liked their dynamic or how they worked it kidna felt a bit too preassured. With Lenily - they’ve been my no. 1 forever since I found out about them - they’re absolutely precious. I don’t think I have to explain Grencer. Gency is just for me really comforting and it’s a nice kind of ship.

But also! I remember when I was younger and watched the animated Overwatch movie there was a scene between Lena and Widowmaker and… I still kidna see it there for some reason 😭

The Maze Runner

There are literally just two canon ships to this so that was a bit of a trouble

Cannon = Brenda x Thomas - Trenda / Thomas x Teresa - Thomesa

Non-canon = Alby x Chuck - Chalby / Sonya x Harriet - Sonyarriet

Why = Honestly I think literally no one agrees with my first point, but when you take Trenda - Brenda would be good with Thomas, but it was in the wrong time as it felt like he kidna used the image of them dating to start to get over Teresa. Thomesa wasn’t healthy a lot later in more movies, but looking at the time before she betrayed them and all it seemed pretty healthy to me, plus I liked the redemption arc between them. Chalby… I’m not sure if I should even explain this, but sure firstly Chuck is 12 years old while Alby is 18 years old and I just see Chuck looking at Alby as an older brother or prehaps a mentor, but definetly not a lover. Sonyarriet was my top 1 and I refused to believe after joining the fandom that they ain’t dating and I still strongly think that if they weren’t dating in the past one of them had a crush on the other.

By the way, when I was younger and first saw the movies and read the books I was loving Avason (Ava x Jason) ship… for some reason as rn I can’t remember any chemistry between them, but I think it’d still be pretty cool if they’d have the like “I like you, but fuck you” or “I like you, but I can’t have you” arc

The Hunger Games

Canon = Katniss x Gale - Everthrone / Finnick x Annie - Odesta

Non-canon = Katniss x Cinna - Cinniss + Katniss x Rue - Rueniss / Katniss x Cressida - Kessida

Why = Now, Everthrone wasn’t fully a canon, but a temporary one yet it still counts - now it’s not ‘cause Peeta is a better ship with her, I don’t like this ship ‘cause very obviously right after the first movie/book Gale was preassuring Katniss about their relationship and from my perspective he didn’t even really care for her mental health after the games a lot. Odesta is in my opinion pure and amazing ship and I’m really glad that they’re canon. Cinniss is just painful for me to even look at - like c’mon that’s just terrible. Rueniss? Fuck off, she’s a child and it’s literally mentioned that she reminds Katniss of Prim (which is her sister) and like… no just no. Now, I can’t really explain Kessida at all, but I just see it there as a nice possibility.

Harry Potter

Canon = Hermione Granger x Ron Weasley - Romione / Harry Potter x Ginny Weasley - Hinny + Scorpius x Albus - Scorbus (idk if it’s canon)

Non-canon = Viktor Krum x Hermione Granger - Krumione + Albus Severus Potter x Delphini Riddle - Alphini + Harry Potter x Hermione - Harmony / Harry Potter x Hermione - Harmony + Draco x Harry - Drarry + Hermione x Fleur - Fleurmione (hear me out-) + Hermione x Ginny - Herminny + Scorpius x Albus - Scorbus

Why = With Romione I pretty much always disagreed with anyone and it may sound mean, but I just simply don’t think that Ron is good enough for Hermione, sue me. Hinny is a pretty interesting ship and in the books it’s a lovely and lively one, but in the movies it’s a bit dead so we’re not gonna take the movies part for this ship. Like I said idk if Scorbus is canon or not, but they had tons of chemistry throughout the book that it can’t be ignored. Krumione was just an offence for me to even think about them being together. Listen, I get why you ship Alphini, but like… no, that’s a no for me - it was rushed, toxic and appeared a bit out of nowhere. I decided to put Harmony into both liked and not as I can see them being together just fine, but thes give off siblings kind of vibe. Drarry is a treasure itself. Now hang on, Fleurmione isn’t that bad of an idea - like a little enemies to lovers. Herminny was my thing since I joined the fandom so no one can take that from me (2 years age gap isn’t that bad).

Arcane

Considering there are only 2 canons I can’t really choose

Canon = Caitlyn x Vi - CaitVi

Non-canon = Jinx x Ekko - idk the name / Jayce x Viktor - JayVik

Why = CaitVi is pretty obvious I think. Idk why people ship Jinx and Ekko so much? Like sure, it’d look fine (ig?), but like there was zero trace of anything happening and it’d be toxic af. JayVik is a canon in my head, tbh.

Divergent

Canon = Tobias x Christina - Tobina / Will x Christina - Chrill

Non-canon = Jeanie x Tris - idk the name / Christina x Tris - Tristina

Why = Tobina felt a tiny bit forced if you ask me and it just wasn’t working out. Chrill deserved more time together and even though Will’s death was important for the plot I feel like they deserved much more time of this pure couple together. Jeanie x Tris is actually a big ship and I just… help I don’t think I have to explain my dislikes for this. This may come off as boring, but I genuinely think that Tristina isn’t a bad idea and it’d actually be pretty interesting.

The 100

Canon = Clarke x Wells (former relationship) - Wellarke + Wells x Sasha - Wellsha / Clarke x Lexa - Clexa + Octavia x Anna - Octanna

Non-canon = Bellamy x Wells - Wellamy / Clarke x Sasha - Clasha + Clarke x Octavia - Clarktavia + Raven x Clarke - Princess Mechanic

Why = Wellarke is obviously beyond repair, but I just wanted to point it out again. About Wellsha I’m gonna be probably a bit mean, but I’m not sorry when I say that Wells wasn’t good enough for Sasha. Clexa was a bit complicated for me to make an opinion about at first, but later when they’re fully together I really like the dynamic and change of behaivors. Octanna will always have my heart and I’m not giving up on my girls ever - it was so pure. Wellamy… don’t even get me started how absurt it feels like for me. Clasha would work gorgerously - especially with Clarke persistent on keeping Sasha safe while the whole camp was against her and chained her up. Clarktavia is something I find hard to defend, but I just see it there (more in the books). Princess Mechanic ship name is actually a canon btw, but I find the arc between them pretty cool and same like Clarktavia it’s hard for me to defend them.

Detroit Become Human

I’m gonna get a beating for this-

Canon = Luther x Kara - Luthara (semi-canon) / Markus x North - Norkus

Non-canon = Chloe x Connor - Chlonnor / Connor x Kara - Connara + Connor x North - Connorth + Simon x Markus - Sikus

Why = Luthara felt a bit forced and I’d prefer Kara being alone. Norkus was at first a bit weird for me, but later you see it ain’t that bad. Chlonnor was out of nowhere and I personally didn’t see it there that much. Connara was also out of nowhere, but I could see it. Connorth was my starter ship when I first started in this fandom and I’ll still stand with it. Sikus is just pure and deserved to be a possible canon.

The Legend of Korra

Canon = Mako x Korra - Makorra (former) + Korra x Bolin - Borra (former) / Korra x Asami - Korrasami + Kai x Jinora - Kainora

Non-canon = Bolin x Varrick - Borrick + Lin x Korra - Korralin / Korra x Kuvira - Korriva

Why = Kainora was in my opinion the pure child’s love that was perfect. Makorra was toxic and I hope we all saw that - especially with Korra still figuring out her behaivors in season 1. Borra would be perfect, but it was wrong time as it felt like Korra used Bolin. Korrasami was the fix to Korra’s previous relationship as she needed someone who’d be able to have the patience, dominance and understandinh with her I think. Borrick was… a very big of a no for me. Korralin was also a big no and I always thought of their relationship as a mother & daughter. Korriva… I can’t defend myself here, but I’d just like to see it (even if they’d break up) especially when Korra had to decide between Kuvira and Lin’s sister’s side (I forgot her name).

Avatart The Last Airbender

Honestly, I don’t really have preference for this fandom

The Arrow

Same as with the one above - I don’t have preference here

The Umbrella Academy

Canon = Diego x Lila - Delila + Five x Dolores - Filores / Viktor x Sissy - Vissy

Non-canon = None

Why = Delila was not working and I think that no matter how much they’d try they’d always end up apart - it felt forced and toxic. Do I have to explakn Filores? Vissy was so beautifully portraited and they matched each other so well, but they were in the wrong timeline for their relationship.

The Sparrow Academy

It’s part of The Umbrella Academy

The Last of Us 1 + 2

I can’t say as the only canon ship we see enough of is Dina x Ellie

Horizon (both games)

Canon = Aloy x Avad - Alad (semi-canon) / Aloy x Seyka - Alyka (depends on player’s choices, but it’s a semi-canon) + Aloy x Petra - Altra (semi-canon)

Non-canon = Erend x Aloy - Erloy / Talanah x Aloy - Taloy

Why = I think in general that Aloy isn’t ready for a relationship, but if we’re working with what we have: Alvad would in my opinion clash around a lot - especially in the first game when Aloy clashes a bit with authorities themselves. Alyka was probably the best choice from the canons as I think that Seyka is the type that wouldn’t preassure Aloy into anything, but also would know when and how (after some time) to pull a bit of a restrains in a healthy way as Aloy sometimes needs it. Altra was confirmed as an unrequited love and I think Petra was a bit too forward (especially in game one) for Aloy’s figuring. I can’t really say why I don’t like Erloy as they’d be good together, but I just don’t see it there like that. Taloy is a bit debatable, but overall to make it short she would probably be an ideal girlfriend for Aloy - more than Seyka maybe.

Spider-Man Across The Spiderverse

No preference

Nimona

Not enough ships

The Outer Banks

Canon = Pope x Cleo - Poleo / JJ x Kiara - Jiara

Non-canon = JJ x Sarah - Jrah / Kiara x Sarah - Kirah

Why = Even though Poleo is the healthies ship in the OBX it kidna feels like it popped up just for Pope to not be single? Jiara was my number one when I started watching it - they match each other really well and I’m here for it. Jrah… no. Kirah is actually in my opinion something that could happen before Kiara joined the pouges.

Five Nights at Freddy’s + Afton Family + The Old Guard

Not enough ships

Willow

Canon = Elora x Airk - Elirk / Kit x Jade - Kide

Non-canon = Elora x Kit - Elit / Graydon x Elora - Graylora

Why = Elirk were at the start really good together, but I think that Elora started feeling for Graydon throughout the show later on. Kide was I think a bit toxic, but with time prehaps they both (Kit mainly) will learn how to work better. Elit I would ship if Elora wouldn’t literally be related to Kit. Graylora is pretty healthy and would work well together.

Percy Jackson

Canon = Leo x Calypso - Leolypso / Percy x Anabeth - Percybeth + Nico x Will - Nill

Non-canon = Annabeth x Grover - Annaver / Clarisse x Silena - Clarena

Why = Leolypso was a bit toxic at the start and Calypso felt abusive, but it got better. Percybeth balances each other gorgerously and I love their dynamic. Nill is my favourite honestly and it feels like they were meant for each other. Annaver would never work out and I think Annabeth would be too much for Grover and Grover not enough for Annabeth and I don’t mean it like by qualities I mean it like Annabeth needs someone like Percy and Grover someone calmer. Clarena would maybe clash a bit at first, but I think they’d eventually balance each other out beautifully and it’d suit them together.

Star Wars

Oh boy… I would rather not answer as I might get in trouble for that

MCU

Canon = Bruce x Natasha - Brutasha / Tony x Pepper - Topper

Non-canon = Yelena x Kate - Kalena / Kate x Cassie - Kassie

Why = Brutasha is a bit weird in my opinion and as much as I hate to say it I think it’d suit Natasha better as a single person or that she needs someone more assertive and confident than Bruce. Topper was a bit uncomfortable ship for me at the start, but man now they go together so well. Kalena is a big no for me for obvious reason that I think we all know and I’m not sure why we still argue about it. Kassie wouldn’t be that bad - sure they never met, but I think their common randomness (Kate’s winning ofc) would actually be perfect and they would get along so well and before anyone comes to me with them not being close in age let me tell you that 4 years age gap isn’t bad.

Fourth Wing + Iron Flame

Canon = Violet x Xaden - Viden / Sawyer x Jesinia - Jesyer + Rhiannon x Tara - Tannon

Non-canon = Liam x Violet - Viam / Sawyer x Ridoc - Riyer

Why = Viden felt a bit more toxic while reading the second book and I personally hated the whole “you gotta ask me that specific question for me to tell you anything” thing - it was so unhealthy. Jesyer was so pure and I honestly hope we get to see more of them. Tannon doesn’t get enough attention and they work so well together. Viam is in my opinion a bullshit and they’re more like siblings. Before Jesyer happened I was actually hoping for Riyer to happen so bad and I’d give anything to get a book with how it’d look like.

Top Gun + The Devil All The Time

No comment

The Ballad of Snakes and Songbirds

Not enough canon ships to work with

Call of Duty + The Medium + The Powerful Elites

No comment

Bottoms

Canon = Isabel x Jeff - Jebel / Isabel x Josie - Jobel

Non-canon = PJ x Hazel - Pzel / Hazel x Stella - Stezel

Why = Jebel is itself obvious truly toxic and it hurt me seeing them get back together - like you gotta be blind to not see how it’s wrong. Jobel was created in a terrible way (the lying and all), but eventually I think they’ll work it out more properly with just enough time. Pzel is actually both semi-canon and non-canon so I didn’t know where to put it, but it was forced and Hazel was so confused by the kiss and PJ just isn’t ready for a relationship and just wants hook-ups obviously. Stezel was never really shown, but c’mon “family friend” with the way she talks anout Stella?

[mega-ringsandthings-world]

Imagine in an everthrone canon post mockingjay time period some time, Peeta catching a glimpse of Gale and Katniss after they finish trading in the hob and walk home hand in hand and grinning as they talk. He wants to say hello, wave or greet them but doesn't. Having accepted her choice, he only interacts when she offers. It still hurts because he knows he'll never have anything close to what they do. Not the raw heartbreak it was in the past but an ache that doesn't ever leave him.

Everthorne continues winning.

I guess, if that's your thing? I prefer to picture Peeta as happy or at least having found some peace and purpose in a life beyond the Games, even in a life without Katniss. While he Katniss will not return his romantic affections, he still has her love and gratitude and everything they shared, as well as his new life. And like Katniss, he has to live and thrive in a world where things did not turn out like he expected or desperately hoped for. Of course there will be an ache for past love gone, but why does he always have to be reduced to a self - flallegating pathetic shell of a human at the mere suggestion of Katniss not loving him romantically? If anything, he would be the one to stay away from Katniss out of sheer spite and ennui, (and he has) rather than her be the one to drive him away.

You guys want a preview of the next Elaborate Lives chapter?

    He nodded. “Let’s make a list, then.”

    “Okay, let’s do that.” As she waited for him to get some paper from the guest room, she returned to the kitchen and made a fresh pot of coffee.

    “I feel like a failure.” He sighed as he came back and sat the pad of paper in the middle of the table.

    “It’s not a failure, Gale.” She poured them each a cup of coffee. “I felt like it was expected. Friends, dating, lovers, married. I never thought there would be anything else.” She shrugged. “Not that it mattered. I liked you then, loved you. I love you now.”

    He sniffed and wiped at his eyes. He so rarely cried. In fact, Katniss was sure the last time Gale shed a tear was when Becca was born. “I’m sorry, Katniss.”

    “Why?” She asked softly, standing and taking his arm when he didn’t answer. “Gale?”

    “We could have spared all this. I shouldn’t have—”

    “Shouldn’t have what? Married me? Had babies with me?” She touched his cheek. “I loved our life. Every minute of it. It’s nothing to apologize for.”

    He grabbed her hand. “I’m sorry I didn’t let you about Madge sooner.” He swallowed hard and let go. “I can’t do this right now, after all. I’m going to try to sleep for a bit.” He walked to the back of the house and closed the guest room door hard.

    Katniss stared down the hallway for several moments before she went up the stairs to her room and threw herself across the bed.

[mellarked-katnisseverdeen]

An Everlark/platonic!Everthorne animatic idea no one asked for:

'I love you/I love you not' by little pur man.

Reading CF at the moment and this is the painful feeling I am getting.

Katniss being so unsure of everything because the Capitols involvement, and being unable to be honest with Gale or Peeta out of the simple fact she can't be honest with her self under so much pressure and with such little freedom.

[nickeverdeen]

OH MY GOD I cannot believe that I found another Katniss x Finnick shipper!!!!

I'm so excited about it, people always hate on me and can't see the potential :(

I got some questions about them for you bc the fandom is basically five people at this point and I wanna hear other people in it, you ain't gotta answer them.

When did you start shipping them? And for how long? What's your favorite Katniss x Finnick moment? How much hate do you get for shipping them and how do you respond to it? What are your fic recommendations for them? Did you ever see a Katniss x Finnick ship edit? What do you think their ship name is (I personally like Everdair)? What do you think of Everlark, Odesta and Everthrone? Are they your favorite ship in the series? When people ask you "Team Peeta or Team Gale?" do you respond with "Team Finnick"? Are there any other people you ship Finnick and Katniss with?

Sorry this sounds like an FBI interrogation, but I just wanna chat! 🫶🏻 :)

Heyy, true that there’s not a lot of us

Probably when I saw the the movie the second time and after reading the books

Unsure

Probably in the training room before the Games

None really

Everyone has their preferences so kidna just respecting it

I’ve never read any

Sometimes I do

I haven’t really given it a thought

Evelark = I think it’s real deserved and nice even though I ain’t the biggest fan of Peeta; Odesta = Similar to Evelark, they deserved more time though; Everthrone = At the start it was a good one for me, but if you think about it, it’d probably be very toxic

Not really, but aren’t the least

No, more like I ain’t on either teams, just solo “Team Katniss” if I’d have to choose

Finnick with Annie (ofc) and maybe a bit with Peeta (although I ain’t really sure); Katniss I used to ship woth Clove, but ain’t really sure now like it’s a nice thought, but doesn’t probably sit 100%

No, don’t worry, it’s fine! No worries

As someone who DOES want to welcome you into THG fandom, I'm don't know what would be best to change? I don't say anything negative about Gale, everthrone and I don't even know anyone who sends anons like the harassment you get so I can't say anything specific to anyone? I've stopped writing or posting much everlark compared to what I used to, hoping to make room for others. I'd start posting everthrone stuff instead but. I just don't connect with it, so I doubt it would be good or what you and the few other shippers would want anyways. Don't know. If there's anything someone who DOES want to make this fandom more inclusive can do beyond that, I'd love to hear.

Well, I'd say to just keep doing what you always do! I'm not telling anyone to not like Everlark, or to stop shipping Everlark or to stop posting/making content for it for my sake. And I don't want people to force themselves to like Everthorne or try to boost Everthorne content if it's not for them. All I'm trying to do build up a welcoming space for those people that are out there (hopefully!) that share my opinions. I'd say to just keep an open mind and an eye out for anyone harassing anyone else, and just keep on doing what you do! You aren't the problem, it's the entire attitude of the fandom that needs to shift for the better, and that will happen when people start learning to allow for others with different opinions. I'm not saying that people should drop their current interests and take up mine, I'm just saying it'd be nice if they could make room for other interests.

I don't know about you all, but Gale is with Katniss at her and Peeta's wedding and you can't convince me otherwise.

The idea of a romantic relationship between them makes me want to scream but their platonic bond is so important to me. In fact, I think the fact both of these facts are true make the second even more true.
