    Summary

    The Coal Dark Festival is the one night the coal-coated, sweating humanity that is District Twelve comes out to socialize, drink, and dance to foot-tapping fiddling, jigs, reels, ballads, and laments. But now that Prim is finally through her last Reaping, has Katniss waited to long to seek out the boy with the bread? Rated mostly T, but there are serious themes. (Previously pulled from Ao3, but back up now.)

    Summary

    After the war Katniss and Peeta slowly grow back together, despite being so broken. The story begins during the final chapter of 'Mockingjay', before the epilogue, and chapters get longer and more detailed as Katniss slowly heals.

    Disclaimer: All credit obviously goes to Suzanne Collins. Chapter 1 makes reference to the events of pages 380-388 of 'Mockingjay', including some direct quotes.

    Summary

    The first year back in Twelve, an extension of the last chapter of Mockingjay. Picks up from "Peeta, bearing a warm loaf of bread, shows up with Greasy Sae. She makes us breakfast and I feed all my bacon to Buttercup." A year of Katniss and Peeta making do, breaking down, and "growing back together." Working on the book. Baking. Hunting. "Real." Sitting around the fire with Haymitch. A birthday, a toasting. "Strange bits of happiness."

    Chapter 1: Spring into summer, rebuilding Twelve, "coming back to life," up until "real."
    Chapter 2: Fall into winter, "Peeta and I discuss all the things we never dared to in the last two years." A toasting.
    Chapter 3: A post-toasting trip to a frozen lake.
    Chapter 4: An announcement from Paylor brings up the unspoken. A fight, nightmares, flashbacks, reconciliation. Spring comes again.

    Summary

    While I was talking, the idea of actually losing Peeta hit me again and I realized how much I don’t want him to die. And it’s not about the sponsors. And it’s not about what will happen back home. And it’s not just that I don’t want to be alone. It’s him. I do not want to lose the boy with the bread. (The Hunger Games, Book 1, Chapter 22)

    What if Katniss and Peeta picked up this conversation and got together before Catching Fire? Set four weeks after their win of the 74th Hunger Games.
