The big issue with the second half is that Del Toro is off-screen for huge chunks of time. Rather, the focus is squarely on Hutcherson, as he's hunted by Escobar's minions and corrupt cops as a way of tying up loose ends. For his part, Hutcherson is very good, delivering a solid, dialed-down performance free of any macho posturing (a temptation a lot of his fellow heartthrobs likely wouldn't be able to resist) with him convincing as a scared kid on the run.

Chapter 22 of Posi+ive is now posted at AO3 and ff.net. I’m sorry in advance.

[kaceywithak]

Chapter 8 is up on AO3 and FFnet !! It’s over 4,000 words, the longest yet!

I’ll post tomorrow some of my photo inspiration for the Mellark House for those interested!

Also to c-r-roberts —- I didn’t put Peeta in the tacky suit. But I did put Finnick in it ;)

For Sarah

So. sponsormusings is basically the best ever.  She not only writes kick ass full length Everlark stories, but she also drabbles them so. damn. good.  And when justmellarky asked, I jumped at the chance to help return the favor to her.  (And also give her a little taste of a kind of Everlark that’s near and dear to both of our hearts.) 

______________________________

Today’s the big day.  It’s taken a year of planning, a few too many conversations about flowers and seating charts, and a budget that’s bigger than my salary, but it’s finally here.

Prim’s wedding day. 

And as I stand in the large hotel room someone’s labeled the bridal suite, watching Prim receive the final touches of her makeup, done by a woman Prim’s hired to do everyone’s, and while listening to the others squeal in excitement with each stroke of a brow pencil, I’m not entirely sure how I feel about my 25 year-old sister getting married—especially to someone my age.  But that’s neither here nor there, because at this point, all that’s left to do is zip up Prim’s dress before this thing happens.   And I’m the maid of honor, so it’s my job to plaster a smile on my face and be ecstatically happy for her.

Part 3, Chapter 14: Katniss

"Oh, I just love that!" she exclaims. "And now it’s finally time to learn which two young people have the honor of representing District 12 in the third Quarter Quell! As always, ladies first.”

Her heels click as she walks across the stage toward the first of two large bowls. I bite my lip and look down, rubbing my hands together.

Not me. Please, please not me.

It can be read on either: FF.net or (finally) AO3

[ophiedokes]

also up on FF.N. Un-beta’d because it took 10 million years and I feel too bad to make anyone wait.

for the movies - epilogue - i see a place for you and i

He flashes me that smile - the disarming grin that is so quintessentially Peeta.

I’ve noticed a lot of changes in him as the years have gone on. The stubble he’s become fond of growing on the weekends and vacations; the way his chest and arms filled out just a bit more, giving me more to hang on to when we embrace; the glasses he wears when he reads in bed at night that still can’t seem to hide the bright blue of his eyes. And, most obviously, the light limp he still has - the longest-lasting remnant of the awful accident that almost took him from me.

But his smile hasn’t changed. It’s the same smile he gave me when we first met in Seneca’s audition room. He wore it, too, when I first walked into his hospital room to find him bruised and barely recovering, but awake. Happy to see me. Full of life.

I’ll say more things tomorrow, I’m sure. For now I’ll just say that the epilogue is up on AO3 and FFN.

Drifting Between Grey and Blue Chapter 7

Is now up on A03 and FFN.

Thank you for reading!

[lollercakesff]

Posi+ive chapter 20 is up on AO3 / ff.net. If anyone has any questions, problems, tears, please don’t hesitate to message me or comment. I’ll do my best to get answers for you.

And I just wanted to say again, I could not have done this without my amazing beta. She is beyond unbelievable.

[krousewrites]

Peeta collapses on the couch next to Katniss and puts his head in his hands. He feels her slip her arms around his waist and press her forehead against his temple, and the tightness in his shoulders melts away a little.

"I don’t know if it’s just because he can’t sleep through the night and is just cranky all the time, or if he’s just—I don’t know. I’d give anything to know what’s going on in his head."

"He just went through something terrifying. He’s still confused and upset. You are too; I can see it."

"It’d be so, so much better if you were here with us," Peeta murmurs, and pulls her half onto his lap to hold her tight.

Beautiful Boy has been posted on FFn and Ao3.

Enjoy!

If The City Never Sleeps Chapter Eighteen

It’s only a few minutes later when he wakes up, but he doesn’t take his arm away from where he has it. The only reason she knows he’s awake, really, is because of the little circles he starts rubbing on her shoulder with his thumb. She cranes her neck, hoping to catch a glimpse at his face. She can’t quite see him, but he does laugh.  “Good morning,” Peeta says once he’s sure she’s awake. “Did you sleep well? I mean, after …?”  “Mm,” she says, thinking about it. She didn’t have any more nightmares. “Yeah. You?”  “Oh, yeah,” he says. She sits up and stretches her back out. “But I’ve been sleeping particularly well lately. So, that’s to be expected.”  “I don’t know how, when you let me pin you down like that,” she says. He actually laughs.  “You keep saying things like that. You know I was a wrestler, right? And that you weigh about three pounds? It’s not like it’d be hard to flip you off of my chest.”   This makes her smile. He takes it as a sign that he should continue.   “And it’s not like … Katniss, I’m never going to complain about having you in bed with me.”

mellarksloaves asked:

Katniss and Peeta meet in a photography class and eventually team up to work on a big, final project together at the end of the semester. One thing leads to another and they end up taking sexy photos together instead of working on the project.

"You wanna check out some possible locations I scouted for our photo shoot?" Peeta asked her over Skype, and Katniss nodded.

"Sure."

"Okay, I took them on my phone. I’ll just send them through Google+," he said, his eyes already focused elsewhere on his screen as he loaded them up.

“‘Kay,” she agreed distractedly, turning her attention back to the psychology textbook on her desk. She had an exam to study for in addition to this final photography project she’d teamed up with Peeta to do. She didn’t know him that well, had only met him this semester, but he was a hard worker and diligent and really creative, so it was easy to let him take the lead on the project while she focused on her other schoolwork. He didn’t seem to mind.

He was pretty cool, really.

"What are you studying for?" he asked conversationally, and she could hear the clicks of his mouse, the taps of his keystrokes as he worked.

"Psych," she replied, her eyes skimming the page on mental disorders. "Probably going to fail. I don’t know anything."

"Really? A headcase like you?" he joked, and she lifted her eyes to scowl at him, earning a grin in return. "Kidding."

"Har har."

"Okay, pics are sent."

A Gchat popped up on her end with a link, and she pushed her book away to grab her mouse and open it. There were photos of outdoor shots around campus with beautiful foliage, old brick walls and classical structures, then there were darker interior shots of dingy buildings and seedy bars.

"These are nice—whoa!" she blurted, her finger reflexively clicking "Next" as hastily as she could when she reached one particular photo in the album.

"What?"

Katniss just stared wide-eyed at her screen for a second, shocked. That couldn’t have been what she thought it was…could it? Hesitantly, and with a little more morbid curiosity than she’d like to admit, she hit “Back.” The image reappeared, in all its fascinating, disgusting glory.

"Dude, is this a dick pic?!” she shrieked at her screen, tearing her eyes away from the image to the Skype box.

maybe something from The End of Us universe - perhaps from the MJ1 press tour?

I sort of already did this. Back before I moved Hiccupbuddies from a sideblog to a main blog I wrote a sorta sequel to The End of Us but I didn’t include it in my list of fanfics because I am not proud of it.

So it’s below the cut if you want to read it, it’s called “This is the last time” published around June 12, 2014

I couldn’t agree more. He would’ve been an excellent mouthpiece. And who did they fish out of the arena instead? Me, who won’t cooperate.
