Chapter 4 of Another Leaf | by @everdeensky on AO3
In a world where Katniss and Peeta get to be “normal” teenagers in District 12, an encounter the year before their final reaping makes Katniss rethink the life of solitude she has always envisioned for herself. (Never Reaped AU)
“Tell you what,” Peeta begins, wrapping an arm around my shoulders. Warmth floods through me at his closeness. I’ve only ever been this close to him when we dance, but it feels just as good, just as comforting in the open air of the pathway. “Just for tonight, we’re nineteen and don’t have to worry about the reaping anymore.” “Prim would still be in it.” “Then we’re…twenty-three,” he says determinedly. “Twenty-three, so Prim is out of the reaping, and Lady has won best in show for…six years in a row.” “Over your pigs?” He pretends to be aghast. “You don’t honestly think that the pigs and goats compete against one another.”
