Throws more confetti all over you! (Don’t confuse it for my salt shaker, lol) Hopefully you received my card in the mail and you had a fantastic family weekend, celebrating another year around the sun! Even though we both struggled here and there, it was a pure joy to write with you again last month, and to read your writing. You are truly gifted Caryn, whether it’s in fandom or not, please never stop stringing words into beautiful sentences that form paragraphs and chapters and stories! 💓💓💓

Girl, I love you. Thank you for the beautiful card... you made me cry! Thank you for being an incredible friend (to me and to so many others here too). Writing with you is something I would love to do every single day, so let me know when you’re up for it, and I am ALL in. Can’t wait until this COVID shit is a thing of the past and we can hang again. Until then, I will happily stalk your blog on anon. ;)

@jennagill Thank you for all that you've done in the fandom, for your welcoming spirit to your love of books, and of course lest us forget pears. Your writing has inspired so many of us on Tumblr. Thank you so much! Hugs!

In the universe where Peeta is reading Katniss's work as she writes the series, what would you most like to see from his POV? (I realize there is a sad lack of Peeta POV in my writing; Silver-Eyed Archer is going to remedy that).

Ok so I tried thinking real hard about this but I really can't come up with anything specific. For me, I like the feeling I get when Peeta is having feelings about the way Katniss feels for him. So in the drabble, the way he got all choked up at the way she talks about him makes me melt. I really like seeing Peeta feel loved and hearing how much she loves him. So I guess just seeing Katniss being romantic in her own way and how it affects him. The only thing I can liken it to is the scene in Coxa by @jennagill where Peeta relays that toastbaby girl said he was a dandelion and Katniss gets choked up and goes absolutely feral over him. If you haven't read it I will send you that snippet but I don't want to spoil the fic for anyone who may not have read it either. But do yourselves a favor and read it!

[katnissdoesnotfollowback]

when u get this u have to answer with 5 things u like about yourself, publicly. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool) ✨💛✨

I’m playing by different rules since I already had to post nice things about myself. ;)

1. I love you for your kindness and willingness to reach out to new people @jennagill. I can remember almost word for word the first message you ever sent me and it was one of the reasons I felt welcomed as a new writer here.

2. I love buttercupbadass, who technically might not be following any of us since she has no tumblr, but she somehow manages to be involved in all of our tumblr lives anyways. You are a goddess and an incredible woman. I am blessed to know you, BBA.

3. I love @stjohn27 for her novel length comments and eagerness to engage in discussions. Sometimes she makes me feel like a real author being interviewed and that’s awesome. Also, basset hounds. ;)

4. I love @honeylime08 for her voracious reading, her constant encouragement to everyone here, and her sweetness. Sometimes I think you are the fandom’s biggest fan, haha! <3

5. I love @savvylark for her ability to make others laugh, her boundless love, and the way inspiration just seems to exist around her. Sometimes I think she’s one of the muses of old. ;) Also you drew gorgeous artwork for me. It’s almost required for me to tackle you with massive hugs on the daily. *TACKLE HUG!!!*

6. I love @deinde-prandium because she never gives up and never fails to bring a smile to my face whether it’s with just a “Hey how you doing” or her sense of humor that shines through in her writing.

7. I love the ladies who may not be with us as much anymore but who shaped so much of my early fandom days. @titaniasfics​, @peetabreadgirl​, @abbythebear. I have a long list of friends who I’ve fallen out of touch with. The curse of the military brat and it seems that I’ll continue to do so in adult hood. Know that I still think of all three of you and love you even if we don’t talk the way we used to.

8. I love the artists of the fandom, who grace us with so many beautiful drawings and manips: @unicorn-feelings, @akai-echo, @ombradellaluna, @loving-mellark just to name a few. @chistudios I still hope that one day you’ll find the time and inspiration to return to Pirates of Panem.

9. To the followers who consistently stop by to chat and some of whose writing excites us all: @alliswell21, @peetaspikelets, @dandeliononfire, @deinde-prandium, @arabeth-thea, @javistg, @sohypothetically, @shesasurvivor, @ishy-fish, @louezem, @xerxia31, @kestrelscall, @katamount, @norbertsmom, @justajjfan, @sunsetsrmydreams, @mega-aulover, @historywriter2007, @eala-musings, @booksrockmyface and so many more. I love the community we’ve built and knowing that even if one of us needs to step out for a moment, there will be people here ready to welcome us back with hugs and excited squeals, and a listening ear. It’s a fluid community but it’s Always here.

10. And finally, I love the many anons who make tumblr and fanfiction exciting and mysterious. Especially my six or so regular anons who take the time to make the sunglasses face not so intimidating or scary but more like a real friend. Cheapchinesebicycle, broadwaybaby, naughty bear, long-winded, and Pbuns love you all. You never know what you’re gonna get when Anon visits the inbox.

[dearivyjune]

More 'My Heart is Heavy' pretty please??! I'm a sucker for a heartbroken Peeta, especially in a nationally televised Bachelor universe!

I’m a sucker for heartbroken Peeta too apparently. Hopefully I can get his part out soon! Thanks for reading!!

The Garbage Will Do by JennaGill

Modern Everlark AU, featuring a scavenger from Jakku and lowly radar technician. I just couldn’t leave this idea alone and hope you like it! Happy Birthday Jessa!

********

“C’mon Peeta, you promised,” she said through the bathroom door, fidgeting with her middle bun. A bobby pin shook loose, and she wished she’d been more attentive while her mother arranged her hair. She grabbed another from the dresser and secured her hair hiding the elastic. She checked the top and bottom buns, fussing with the details of her favorite character.

“I dunno Katniss,” wafted between the crevices, spreading tendrils of doubt that they could pull this cosplay off at the Capitol ComicCon. “It’s a lot, Katniss. I’m Kylo acting as Matt, poorly, and I just want to be me.”

She straightened her muslin bindings and wrapped on the door with her staff. He promised this for her birthday and there was no backing down now. “I haven’t had my muffin yet, Matt!” she bellowed through the thin veneer, shoulders squared up to face him.

“Fine! Could you please not yell at me, you’re stressing me out!” Peeta huffed and stepped through the door, a vision in a beige jumpsuit, safety orange vest, over-sized glasses, and wayward ashy blond waves grown out especially for today. “You can’t even see how shredded I am in this,” he muttered and stomped across the room, grabbing his wrench.

“There’s my Undercover Star Killer Base Boss,” she drawled, proud of his transformation. She hooked her finger under his stiff collar and gave him a soft kiss on his cheek. “If you keep this up Matt, I’ll treat your light saber right tonight…”

He hummed in approval, “Lead the way, Mrs. Radar Technician, lead the way.”

The Seventh Floor by Papofglencoe

A/N: Modern AU Everlark ficlet. Rated M/Eish? Basically this is just library porn, with a nod to a mutually beloved author (who would be appalled by this). Happy birthday, Jessa!

****************************

She watched, her mouth hanging slightly agape in shock at the sight of him, as he strode past the circulation desk and jabbed the call button for the staff elevator.

A goddamn masterpiece. That’s what he was, his wavy golden hair and the t-shirt stretched taut over his thick, muscular shoulders damp from getting caught in the summer squall outside. A fucking Picasso. Or a Renoir. Or… or one of the other names she really should have paid more attention to in any of the countless art museums in D.C. that she’d been dragged into in the past couple years. None of the masters she could think of now came anywhere close to capturing his beauty.

As the elevator descended, groaning on its ancient cables, Katniss had the ridiculous thought that even the machinery was bowing to him, drawn to him not because it was summoned, but from the magnetic pull of simply wanting to be near him, prostrate at his feet.

When the rheumatic elevator doors finally wheezed open, after what seemed like three delicious years of gaping at his ass, he glanced over his shoulder toward her. His shockingly blue eyes, framed by a pair of ill-fitting, black-rimmed glasses, locked on hers, and the ghost of a smirk flitted across his lips. He stepped onto the elevator, the doors sliding shut between them, and she would have written him off as a phantom, some gorgeous ghoul conjured by boredom and a dash of paranoia, if the panel above the elevator wasn’t marking his progress upward.

As he made his way higher, to the fourth, then fifth, then sixth floor of the library, her pulse sped up, hammering violently throughout her body. She could feel the blood throbbing in her neck, in her ears—so loud the world fell silent around her. The blood stampeded through her arms to the tips of her trembling fingers. It pushed her heart to its aching limit. It coaxed its way between her legs, heating her, inspiring her.

She squirmed on the stool where she sat, watching the number “7” light up. The elevator halted, waiting at the top floor of the library to be called again.

He’d gone to the seventh floor—a quiet floor—its stacks housing all the language and literature books the university owned. Of course that’s where he’d go.

“So, ah, I know no one asked me, but I vote you go find that nerd.”

Her coworker’s caustic tone snapped Katniss out of whatever trance he’d put her in the moment he’d walked through the library’s double doors.

“Eh,” Katniss demurred, nervous at the mere thought of it. “I don’t know…”

Her brain began to list out all the reasons it was a terrible idea. It was the week before finals. The library was swarming with students, and the circulation desk had been slammed all morning. To make matters worse, her boss was in the office today—albeit probably passed out drunk at his desk. Katniss looked at the mountain of books that needed to be checked back in and sorted onto carts for reshelving. She imagined the mountain growing to epic heights in the next twenty minutes, avalanching and smothering Johanna Mason to death.

Actually, that last part was sort of a pleasant thought.  

“Listen up,” Johanna sighed. “I can go on pretending I don’t know it’s your birthday and be the spectacular bitch to you that I usually am. But I’m feeling generous today, I guess. And I know for a fact that loverboy was shooting ‘fuck me’ eyes at you. So…” She waved her hand dismissively at Katniss. “Scram. If anyone comes looking for you, I’ll tell them you’re on the can from whatever crap you ate at the Union for breakfast.”

Katniss bit her lip, her nerves warring with the overwhelming urge to go find him. Not that she had any idea what to expect, or even to say, if she did. “Well…”

Johanna shot her a withering look, her limited patience with her having already run threadbare.

It was enough.

“Fine. Cover for me. But if anyone asks where I am, don’t say anything about the “can.” Tell them I took my break early.”

**********

What the fuck was she doing anyway? This wasn’t like her at all. This was reckless and wild and… and so completely unlike any script she’d ever followed. It’s not that she was a great respector and worshipper of the rules—not at all. She’d trespassed more times than she could count into local hotels to use their swimming pools. She’s smoked pot with her best friend Gale since she was fifteen, either lying to her mother or sneaking out in the night to get stoned in the playground of the local elementary school (“drug free zone,” her ass). Katniss was openly disdainful of authority, and, if she was not mistaken, she’d dreamt just last night that she’d embarked on a personal mission to assassinate President Trump (best dream ever).

But when it came to boys…

It was different.

She found him down one of the British literature aisles, a copy of Persuasion open in his hands. At the sound of her steps, he looked toward her, his cheeks flushing a ruddy pink. He snapped the book shut and carelessly stowed it back in what was probably not its place, the spine jutting out a couple inches.  

“Hey,” he whispered, his voice a low rasp in the almost sacred silence of the stacks.

“Hey,” she murmured back, wiping her suddenly clammy palms on her skirt. The thread connecting them pulled her toward him, the force of it unwilled but never more welcomed.

She stopped about a foot from him, unsure what to do next. Really, it was up to him.

The glasses he was wearing sat awkwardly on the bridge of his nose, a little too low. Not fitted for him. He pushed them up with one finger, but it did nothing to hide the fact that the glasses were also crooked.

“Sexy specs.” She smirked at him, hopelessly lost for him.

“Well,” he sighed, smiling down at her. “Unfortunately, my girlfriend has a thing for nerds, so I’m sort of stuck wearing them.”

“For now,” Katniss amended.

“Or,” he shrugged, “you know… whenever she wants.”

Katniss barked out a laugh, remembering too late where they were. She clapped a hand over her mouth to silence herself. In the distance, somewhere on the floor, she heard a chair push back and the soft snores of someone who’d lost their battle with studiousness.

It was probably a terrible idea, what they were going to do. Technically, they could get expelled. Or possibly arrested. But the minute Peeta had cracked a joke, in passing, about fucking her brains out in the library, it had become the fantasy that had sparked a hundred orgasms for her. It had been months, and it was all she could think about.

It was a terrible idea.

As the thought of what they were going to do came to her, Peeta seemed to read it on her body. Before she could change her mind, he had her pinned against the shelves, the hard planes of his body perfectly molded to the soft planes of hers, like two pieces made to lock together.

“Happy birthday,” he breathed against her neck before biting down on the flesh, sucking it between his teeth, nearly to the point of pain.

Katniss gasped, her hips involuntarily bucking at the sensation. As his tongue flicked the tender spot he’d left in the crook of her neck, Peeta grabbed one of her legs, winding it around him.

“You wore the perfect skirt,” he rumbled into her skin, burying two fingers deeply, shockingly fast, inside her.

Katniss’ head lolled back, ecstasy and agony raging through her. She wanted to burn alive, burn with him, burn this place to the ground. When she moaned, he leaned in and bit her lip harshly, punishingly.

“Shhhh,” he reminded her, his fingers curling inside her in a taunt. Teasing her, tormenting her, commanding her to moan again.

“Nerds don’t…” she gasped, her hands desperately trying to find their way into his pants, trying to grasp onto him, to feel him and love him. “Nerds don’t kiss like that.”

“Lucky for you, then, I’m not a nerd.” He backed away slightly, taking his fingers and the heat of his body with him. It felt like a cataclysm, that loss of his warmth and steadiness.

But instead of losing him, Katniss watched him sink to his knees in front of her, his hands coasting down her body, over her tits, her tummy, to her hips. He squeezed them, bracketing them with his hands as if touching her was painful to him somehow. He kissed her pubic bone softly over the fabric of her skirt, then dipped his head and bit her thigh.

“Oh god,” she said, wondering if god himself could see, could hear, would know what was happening. Wondering if god thought the creation before her was half as perfect as Katniss did.

She pointed upward, her arm flailing against the shelf. Amis, Austen, Auden went tumbling down around them as Peeta lifted her leg onto her shoulder and, moving the narrow fabric of her panties aside, began to speak to her in a language they’d made themselves.  

“They’ll see,” she panted, her index finger pointing to nowhere.

She could feel the rumble of Peeta’s laughter against her, seeping into her and moving her. His breath was hot against her, his hands bruisingly clutching at her ass.

“Then let’s put on a good show.”
