Everything in Peeta’s background is associated with noise in some way . His mother yelling, the bustle of a bakery, the sounds of wrestling someone, his own footsteps, his lies and ability to speak his way out of everything.

Then there’s Katniss who remembers the silence of her mother’s absence, the disappearance of music, only finding solace in being silent in the forest, not really speaking unless she has to.

And that makes the following line so special:

So after, when he whispers “You love me. Real or not real?”

They’ve found their little comfy middle ground. They don’t need to talk and perform for others. They don’t need to be silent to survive. Just a quiet equilibrium born from their love.

Ain’t no way I’m seeing people forget about Peeta. “All 3 victors have a bird representing them” “all district 12 victors weren’t reaped fairly” “did you know that all 3 of the victors from 12 actually cheated in the games” “it’s so cool that all the victors are from the Seam or are Covey”. Like omg what about Peeta?!?! Mans did not almost die like 10 times just to be tossed to the side!! He won the 74th games alongside Katniss, she wasn’t the only one who won it!! Just please put some respect on his name

I JUST READ THE LATEST CHAPTER OF ARRANGEMENTS OMG FINALLY FINALLYYYYY THEY GET TO BE PROPERLY ROMANTICAL HAHAHAHH im so happy at last they actually start working out where they stand with their relationship 😌❤️

i’m interested to see what happens when they start at the academy though. do you think it will become a total au or will you include some things/events from canon??? 😈

I'm glad you liked the chapter! As for how the fic will go once they start Academy, I do plan on following canon (somewhat). I've noticed some people hoping that Snow will get better, but unfortunately, that's not my intention with the fic (hence the bittersweet ending tag). My main goal was creating a scenario in which he was heavily romantically involved with someone like Sejanus while things play out. While I don't wanna spoil too much, I will say right now that I don't plan on killing off Sejanus (my friend was very worried I was gonna do that lol so I thought I'd just put that out there in case anyone else was). However, just because Sejanus lives doesn't mean he'll be all that happy about it, given the circumstances (hence the bittersweet ending tag).

thinking about how Katniss' main motivation isn't actually survival but love . . . nearly every choice she makes in the book is a choice made out of love for others . . . she's made of love guys

[brinabegins]

what makes Snow such a formidable villain within THG universe is that nothing he does was set in stone. there was no sense of inevitability about his actions and his brutality. Snow had enough perspective of poverty, capital cruelty, district hunger and not to mention his own arena experience’ and yet he actively chose at every moment to stray from natural goodness. its even more terrifying in the sense that he had the ability to care. Snow is not a mindless sociopath, he displays feelings to others such as sejanus, lucy grey and tigris but ultimately he will always choose himself. his ability to betray those he cared about in order yo advance himself makes him so much more than the stereotypical villain who is forced into his actions.

Katniss pulled out the berries to save Peeta’s life (he was bleeding to death) and played that gamble so that the Capitol would either announce both of them winners or let them both die, therefore freeing her from living with the grief of losing him either way, and there are still people who act like her rebellion in that moment can be separated from her love for Peeta. No, it can’t.

[humptymp3]

do you guys ever think that during the nights on the train in CF where katniss let peeta into her bed every single night to hold her close to calm her from the nightmares, that he had to remind himself that this girl does not love him like he loves her, because honestly the way she acts feels a lot like love- but how is he really meant to know what love feels like? because his head spins and he is back in his childhood home where love doesn't exist.

[nanachachasposts]

every single fic I've ever posted to ao3 got scraped by some Ai bullshit which is obviously upsetting but do you guys think that means some Ai service out there is about to tell people Coriolanus Snow was an evil bisexual who was arranged to be married to Sejanus Plinth

[nanachachasposts]

i LOVED the new chapter of arrangements (c11) IM SO HAPPY THEY FINALLY KISSEDDDD!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy you liked the chapter! Thank you so much!

[nanachachasposts]

The update left me so speechless that I wasn't able to leave my usual comment in ao3.

Anyways, just to make it short...

This chapter made me crave baked goods :')

I loved the cloud moment when Sejanus made fun of Coryo's poor suggestions.

Also the fact that he isn't capable of physically removing the bracelet even after all the turmoil *deranged inintellegible noises*

P.s: ngl I missed my boy Festus like crazy on this chapter and his kicked puppy behavior around miss Vickers most of all. Is he going to come back any time soon?

I'm really glad you liked the chapter! Honestly, I was a little worried about it, but it's nice to know some people enjoyed it lol. Sejanus continuing to wear the bracelet happened for two reasons. Coryo essentially cuffed him when he gave it to him because Sejanus literally cannot take it off himself (I myself have a bracelet that I wear 24/7 because in order to undo the clasp, you need to use two hands). And because of the connotations surrounding the bracelet, as well as the fact that everyone knows it's a gift that he loved, he would never ask for the help needed to get it off. If he does, he knows they'll ask why he doesn't want to wear it anymore. Sejanus wanted to keep what happened to himself not only because he has romantic feelings for Coriolanus and was embarrassed by everything, but because he was genuinely worried his parents would call off the engagement altogether if they knew how messy things had become and just how upset he was. After becoming aware of how dependant the Snows are on the money they receive due to the marriage contract, he'd never allow it to be called off - no matter how hurt or upset he is. He's just not the sort of person who can allow others to suffer for his sake.

[rosegardeninwinter]

no but Katniss comparing how she feels about Peeta to hunger is genuinely so meaningful when you think about it like if there’s anything in the world of Panem (in the district where you can starve to death in safety) that she isn’t flippant or ignorant about it’s hunger and yet it’s the metaphor she chooses

[nanachachasposts]

Do you think Tigris has had to do any sex work in your fic, or did the plinths money save her before she had to sell herself. If that’s spoilers feel free to not answer.

Unfortunately, I've always considered Tigris' sex work as something she did while very young. In TBOSAS she tells Coriolanus "maybe you were too little to remember" after alluding to her past sex work. She's only three years older than he is, so if she says he could have been young enough to forget/not notice what she was doing, she could not have been any older than a young teenager at best. It's a horrifying thing to consider and as of right now, is not something I plan on delving into very deeply in my fic. For one, I don't think I'm equipped to handle that subject matter with all the grace, nuance, and care it deserves. And for two, I think it'd be pretty insane for me to make that a side plot in my silly fanfic where the future brutal dictator is also bisexual. But I also don't want to ignore it entirely, which is part of the reason I've made Tigris unwilling to pursue actual romantic relationships (at the point of the story we are in). I also plan on keeping in her conversation with Coriolanus, where she alludes to her trauma, if I get to that point in the story, but I really cannot forsee myself planning on getting into it any further than that because as I've said, I just don't think I'm the right writer for that.

(also, I say if I get to that point, because while I do have it plotted out so that it does follow canon somewhat, life may get in the way or my motivation may disappear on me. I hope it doesn't, but I think it's only fair to be honest about that lol)
