    Summary

    If the star crossed lovers from district 12 never went into the games, if they were never pitted against each other, doomed to fight and kill each other, if their stars weren’t crossed at all, what would have happened anyway?

    Keeping Katniss's family fed without tesserae is not easy and Peeta's parents are pushing him to marry a merchant girl as soon as possible. The best way to escape starvation and a prison of a marriage is to marry each other, but that would require Katniss to let go of a promise she made to herself a long time ago, to never marry anyone.

    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.

    Summary

    The 74th Annual Hunger Games is over and Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark managed to do the impossible. They mentored Owen Sparrow, an angry, orphan kid from the Seam, and turned him into a Victor.

    Now following this unheard of back-to-back win for District 12, Katniss, Peeta, and Owen must all walk the tightrope they have strung for themselves, as things become more and more uneasy in Panem and more and more dangerous. With the Quarter Quell coming next year, our District 12 Victors must learn how to heal after another traumatic Games, learn to live again, and learn how to fight for another day.
