The Third Thing, an Everlark Fanfiction

"We did not spend our days gazing into each other’s eyes. We did that gazing when we made love or when one of us was in trouble, but most of the time our gazes met and entwined as they looked at a third thing."

Snapshots of Katniss and Peeta's post-war life. Each chapter is inspired by and loosely based on a quote from "The Third Thing" by Donald Hall.

--

Chapter 1: “For two decades we inhabited the double solitude of my family farmhouse in New Hampshire, writing poems, loving the countryside.”

Read on ao3.

The Third Thing is a brilliant essay/love letter by the poet Donald Hall. It is not necessary to have read the essay to enjoy this story, but I strongly suggest you do. It is a meditation on love, art, grief, and companionship and has changed my outlook on those matters for the better. And the Everlark vibes are just immaculate!

If you choose to read the essay, you will notice right away that it was written after the author lost his wife. I will not and cannot go there with Katniss and Peeta, hence there is no MCD archive warning. Nevertheless, I think its nostalgic and wistful atmosphere complements Katniss's narration very well.

This first chapter was written almost a year ago (one of the first pieces of Everlark fanfiction I ever wrote), but I didn't have the idea to base them on the essay until this December. After that, writing the other chapters was so much more fun! I have around 7-8 already written at various lengths.

Hope you'll read and enjoy it!

Whoever conceived and animated this moment, I hope they're doing well and thriving. This is S-rank romance stuff here.

#the ship overall is C to A tier #but it's things like THIS that push it up toward the A #titan ae #titan a.e.#cale #akima #it just...#starts with them chilling together being comfortable in each other's space #that would be enough that's a point there #then she goes and HANDS HIM THE SANDWICH SHE'S EATING #sharing their food #that's another one #and she does it because his hands are busy so he can't feed himself #so that's a third point #and she does it WITHOUT LOOKING AT HIM which is a FOURTH point #and he bites into it without request or invitation so that's a FIFTH point #and then he TAKES THE WHOLE SANDWICH AND GULPS IT DOWN LIKE A LIZARD #which is a SIXTH point #and jumps it up to SEVEN because she pulls her fingers free and finally looks at him and yells at him #IT'S A SEVEN-POINT ROMANCE COMBO #do you know how utterly rare those are?#those are generally earned through KISS scenes where the hands move and the heads touch and maybe there's a spin #they achieved a seven-point romance combo by SHARING A SANDWICH #fixing machines and sharing lunch URRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHH

Some not so serious doodles about the idea where Silco survived and Warwrick!Vander found him. I did these as fanservice for ME! Especially the clothes thing

(have fun trying to figure out the reading order of the third sketch dump)

#my art #sketchy sketch #arcane #silco #vander #jinx #vi #these are not that serious lol #tho even if I did take the scenario seriously I would make vi punch silco as the first thing #if I make the doodles adorable and funny enough maybe people will not notice that I erased Isha from existence #my unpopular opinion is that isha is not needed and would only come in the way for the family moments with these four so #isha is no more sorry not sorry #I have evil ideas about the final third part for this maybe #i glanced at various references that's it #that's my queue to leave #zaundads if you squint

You know I used to think "tumblr's absolute refusal to actually engage with the Trolley Problem in favor of insisting that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is just a short-sighted idiot is really fucking annoying, but I guess it's not actually doing any harm".

Anyway that was before we asked tumblr at large to decide between "guy aiding a genocide but making progress elsewhere" and "guy who would actively and enthusiastically participate in a genocide and would also make everything else much, much worse for everyone elsewhere" and the response was that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and that anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is a short-sighted idiot.

#there is not a third option. it is either trump OR biden #and one of those will be much MUCH worse for palestine #i'm really really sorry that these are the options. i wish they weren't.#but WHAT third option are you trying to take here? what on earth is your proposed outcome #that will actually make things better for palestine?#because letting trump win the election is NOT going to help them #i'm sorry but you need to set aside your feelings and take the option that will lead to less harm to palestine in the long run #you talk such a big game about how people need to be willing to make sacrifices to help palestine #but you yourself aren't even willing to hold your nose and vote to stop things from getting worse?#or did you think 'sacrifice' only meant not getting mcdonalds for a few months?#us politics

twisted wonderland × kimetsu no yaiba (au!)

based on this post here.

I this this on a a japanese song only playlist and a wave of hiperfixation. So heres the context: Yuno (Yuu) and Leona were newly married and lived on his family’s land. On the night after the Town Below festival, Yuno returned home to find not only her husband’s family dead but also her younger brother, Grimm. Leona was the only one still alive, but as she tried to lead him down the mountain, she discovered that he was no longer human.

Silver, a demon slayer, confronted Leona. However, after witnessing him protect Yuno, he chose to spare the newly turned demon’s life, and send the couple to his master, Lilia.

Vil and Rook are the Tamayo and Yuuchiro of this universe. Vil lived more than 300 years only on serving face and hate, nonetheless showed kindness by helping Yuno and Leona after their encounter with the Demon King.

Ace and deuce are both slayers, one ranking above yuu. The three met during a mission, and the two decided to stick by her side from that point on.
