    Summary

    I won the Hunger Games once.
    They called me a Victor, but I know better.

    The Capitol took everything from me, my family, the boy I loved, even the right to call myself alive. I tried to disappear into the quiet: the bottle, the piano, the years between Games.

    But you can’t hide from the world when it’s burning.

    Then came a girl on fire, a spark that refused to die. And somewhere between her defiance and the Quarter Quell, I remembered what it felt like to fight back.

    This is my story.
    From the day I was reaped to the day the war ended.
    From a blood-soaked arena to the long silence after the reveloution.

    Because in the Hunger Games, there are no winners.
    Only survivors.

    Summary

    Isolated in Victor’s Village, Katniss and Haymitch struggle to move on with life after the war. One wretched night, desperate and broken, Katniss pushes the boundaries of her grief and Haymitch is haunted by ghosts of his past. When Peeta returns home, with secrets of his own, their fragile facades begin to crack and the three discover the healing journey is rife with setbacks. Can the victors win the battle against their spiraling shame, or will they burn among the ashes of District Twelve?

    An Everlark journey, but like everything Katniss and Peeta, it's going to hurt first. Rated M for dark and sexual content.

    ***OR: In a terrible, drunken stupor, Katniss sleeps with Haymitch, catapulting them all into a journey of shame, forgiveness, and reconciliation.***

    Summary

    Peeta is always proud to have me by his side, but it fills me with joy to be able to make a dream of his come true, however unlikely it may have seemed. We arrive at school ahead of schedule, just as intended, and make our way to the community center classroom. Signs are placed in the hallway welcoming us. Everyone involved with this program must be excited to see it commence.

    Ten years after the 74th Hunger Games, a re-education program makes its way across the districts. Feeling inspired, Katniss signs herself, Peeta, and Haymitch up to finish their schooling.

    Summary

    "Sae."

    She looks up at me, somewhat alarmed, as she rests the plate of eggs in front of me from across the table. A moment passes as she straightens up and brushes her hands on her apron, waiting.

    "What-" I clear my throat, trying to clear the croak in my voice. I guess it has been a while since I've really used it.

    "Why- um. Are you here?"

    The silence stretches. I pick at my nails under the table. My delivery is wrong. No matter that I've been thinking about this question for hours now - it sounds like I want her gone. She frowns slightly, preparing to answer.

    "-In 12, I mean." I rush to cover. My heart pinches slightly - maybe I wasn't ready to hear why she's here in my house, anyway.

    ----

    Cannon-compliant post Mockingjay fic, following Peeta and Katniss as they find a way to live with the traumas of their past and grow back together.

    Summary

    It's been almost 6 months since the end of the war. Katniss and Peeta have managed to regain the friendship they'd thought they lost, but Katniss is unsure if Peeta is ready to face his old feelings and pursue something more between them. Katniss herself worries that she may not be mentally prepared for what a relationship might entail. The problem is, that hunger she felt for him on the beach in the Quell won't relent, and it only grows stronger when they resume their previous sleeping arrangements.

    In an attempt to stave off the hunger she feels for Peeta without putting pressure on him to label what exactly he feels for her, she suggests a simple proposition—that they become friends with benefits.

    But friends with benefits is never as simple as it sounds, especially not with a history like theirs.

    Summary

    The ice cream shop is probably the most colourful building in Twelve. Up until now, I would’ve said it was Mellark’s Bakery, since Peeta went with soft shades of green and orange as an homage to the both of us. Slowly, the dull, dingy colours of coal and ashes are being replaced. The exterior of the ice cream shop is bright pink with blue trim, and the door is a fluorescent shade of green. It looks like it was dropped from the sky straight from the Capitol.

    As District 12 continues to rebuild itself, Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch, spend a summer evening trying a sweet treat.

    Summary

    Peeta's POV of post-war events.

    There’s no train to Twelve scheduled until late tonight. I’ve already waited months. What's a few more hours?

    For months, I was held at this Capitol “Rehabilitation Center” meant for pill addicts, which, after recent events, was temporarily converted into a “sanctuary” for, well, crazy people like me. I didn’t mind it much.

    I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been consumed with thoughts of Katniss all these months. A man can live on scraps as long as he has Katniss Everdeen wanting him. But I cannot bank on this being the case. Especially now. Especially when we have both been through so much. Especially when I have hurt her as badly as I have.

    She must be going through hell. Then again, so am I.

    Summary

    I drag myself outta nightmares and there's no relief in waking up. But... it's better not to give in to it. It takes 10 times longer to put yourself back together than it does to fall apart. -Finnick Odair, Mockingjay

    Summary

    'Maybe that too is why I am so determined that he have the piano, hauling it over the steps of Haymitch's home despite how my body protests, how the exhaustion deep in my bones tells me it isn’t worth doing much of anything at all, and how Peeta reiterates that perhaps we should wait for Haymitch to wake up and have him help us with the load. Because he should have something waiting for him after his duty, to the war and to us, is through.

    To have something to pull him through the aftermath. That’s all we're trying to do, isn’t it?'
    ...
    Along with a horrific amount of other things of no use to Katniss, each home in Victor's Village contains a piano. She finds Haymitch playing hers, and a new step of the delicate process of healing starts from there. It starts with song, and ends with a new volume of the ever-increasing Memorial Book.

    AKA the way Katniss has hunting and Peeta has baking, Haymitch has music - from Lenore Dove, of course. Katniss helps him (read: forces him) to reconnect with this. A bit of healthier healing all around because my D12 Victors WILL get some semblance of peace in the aftermath of the Games if it's the last thing I do, goddammit.

    Summary

    “You asked me last night if I’ve ever had any thoughts about us in bed while I did my homework as a boy,” I remind her. “Which the answer was real, of course. In case you don’t remember.”

    Teenage Peeta once daydreamed about his crush sneaking into his bedroom to "study" together. Now, 26-years-old and enrolled in a re-education program, he has the chance to reenact an old fantasy of his.

    A smutty Peeta POV one-shot from A Hero on a History Book Page, but can be read as a standalone fic.

    Summary

    I've always admired the way he can focus on a task. He gets that special look on his face, intense and entirely absorbed in his work. [...]
    However now, for the first time, he's directing that attention to me. My heart quickens under his intense look and I straighten my shoulders, acutely aware of him perceiving me.

    Peeta asks Katniss to teach him how to braid.

    Lucy Gray was held captive in District 13 after returning Panem from a very long time. If she wants her freedom, she has to participate to one trial. That is going against to the man on Trial in the Capitol. The one she once trusted with her life in the Game, and the last man she ran away from those woods many years ago. Coriolanus Snow.

    Will she stand in trial with revenge in mind? Give him a bitter goodbye before his execution? Or, be free of his hold over her heart?
