    Summary

    "This would have happened anyway."

    In a particularly harsh winter in 12, Katniss is once again finding that she is tied to Peeta Mellark, that he can bring her a sense of hope without even meaning to. When she winds up working in his family's bakery, she doesn't want to get to know him, doesn't want to add to the incalculable debt she feels she owes him. But she can't help but grow to appreciate him, even despite herself.

    "All I've ever known is how to hold my own, but now I wanna hold you too" - Hadestown

    In Panem AU focusing on how Katniss and Peeta would have found their way to each other if they never went into the Games. Slowburn, but eventually will have a lot of smut lol so preventative E rating

    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

    NOVEMBER 2025 UPDATE: For years, I've wanted to edit this story. I learned so much about writing and knew I could make this story so much better. This fic has a special spot in my heart. I think it might be my favorite because it isn't what you initially expect it to be and has a great Everlark HEA ending. It's part sad, Capitol prostitute, part spy-thriller, part rebellion, love story. All of that is my long-winded way of saying that I'm currently working on rewriting this story. I should have 1-2 chapters finished every couple of days, so if you're interested in reading along, there won't be a long wait :).

    Everlark. Panem AU.

    Peeta is the sole winner of the 74th Hunger Games. As a desirable victor, he is quickly sold as part of Snow’s prostitution empire.

    Katniss is a member of the rebellion living undercover in the Capitol.

    Katniss and Peeta share one childhood moment and believe they will never see one another again until he unknowingly becomes the symbol of an uprising and she is given a mission to help save him.

    Summary

    In the midst of her brilliant coup of Ba Sing Se, Azula decides to finally teach her brother his place. What better way than counteracting his suppressants to trigger his heat and throwing him in with an enemy alpha?

    …unless of course that alpha is Katara, the mightiest of caregivers. In that case, Azula’s lesson may not end up being the one she wanted to impart.

    Zuko’s designation has long been the dirtiest of secrets, but he always held out hope that capturing the Avatar would finally make him worthy of respect. He never expected to be told in his most shameful state that he’d deserved respect all along.

    Read for more: snuggly rut Katara (you never knew you needed it), Katara is the most responsible alpha, gender is weird, and all the sex organs for everyone!
