Oooh. I can't even begin to describe how this modern au took my soul and fold it in ten small pieces. One of the many finest works of muttpeeta! Although she is active in another fandom right now, her everlark stories remain being loved by the fandom!
The Act follows the story of The Victors' descent to success as they navigate the tangled strings of their relationship as a duo band in their tour. Their chemistry sells them more than their music, having them forced to put up a show whenever onstage. This fic is basically the epitome of enemies to lovers everlark. The top of the list of the trope. It has tensions, it has denials, it has longing stares, it has dumb "I like to but I can't" scenarios.
Truly, muttpeeta's writing mastered the art of dialogue because the way Peeta and Katniss banter is done with so much wit. Katniss' point of view here is so entertaining to watch whenever she suppress her emotions lol. Plus, the hotel room scenes???? too much. Too much! The way the sub characters like Darius' and Haymitch's are redefined adds to the overall plot.
Anyways, thank you for creating this masterpiece, @muttpeeta! You're always welcome in coming back to the fandom. Truly, truly a treat for readers. One of the fics I can read again and again.
For all she knew, Jon wanted to contact her but couldn’t because he couldn’t find her in his contacts. (A small voice told her that if he really wanted to contact her, he could have searched by recently added contacts, or even asked Margaery for her number. She quickly shut it down before she talked herself out of it and got even more annoyed with Jon.) Surely he wasn’t still upset with her over that song? And if he didn’t even like her, why was he so insulted by her singing a break-up song, anyway? The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous their fight seemed. Perhaps Jon hadn’t even thought about her once since Friday and was probably just waiting for Margaery and Missy to arrange their next meeting.
“Fuck,” she muttered. She only had herself to blame. Congratulations, Dany, you played yourself.
“Something wrong?” Missy asked.
“Nothing, just trying to text Jon.”
“Atta girl,” Missy grinned.
When Irri came back from the loo, she was still debating what to write to Jon. After several attempts to the soundtrack of Koll’s extra thick Northern burr (Jon did play up his accent a lot for this role), she decided to take Irri’s advice and be direct. To her surprise, it worked.
As I already have said I’m new to hunger games fanfiction so I didn’t read much yet. And when I feel the need to read something I really don’t know where to start 😅. So a couple of days ago I looked through @everlarkficquestions masterlists and my eyes just catched this short name “The Act” and I felt like “oh, that should be something interesting“. AND IT WAS. Oh my gosh, I was like screaming every chapter cause this fic is GORGEOUS. I was a little bit doubtful if I really like modern AU before but now I know that yes I LOVE IT.
When I saw in the end of the first chapter author’s note “find me on tumblr I’m @muttpeeta” I was like WAIT WHAAAAAT I KNOW THIS ACC I LOOKED THROUGH IT I REMEMBER BEAUTIFUL EMILIA CLARC AS PROFILE PICTURE OH MY GOSH I THINK THIS AMAZING PERSON EVEN LIKED MY ILLUSTRATIONS OH WOW OH WOOOOOW!
So this is a small thing to say thank you for your fantastic work, hope you will like it ❤️ And thank you for the new playlist too :)
THE ACT by @muttpeeta
And now I think how many of you guys here are talented authors? I just thrilled to find out and draw more for this series ❤️
So I read @muttpeeta's "For a good time call" and went crazy (in a totally good way!)
STORY THEORY AHEAD!!
When i finished reading chapter 5 and he said he had to tell her something, i thought it was about the number on the bathroom stall. i had two assumptions (which were wrong lol)
1- Finnick did it because he saw Katniss working at Sae's and wanted to help his best friend get laid by his crush.
2- Johanna and Peeta were secretly friends and he was totally stalking Katniss through Johanna, who wrote the number at his request because they knew Katniss would come across it!!
Favourite quotes/parts:
1- "And say what? Hey, I saw your number in a bathroom, wanna have sex?"
2- "Um, I'm not really sure. What do you recommend?"
Peeta tips his head in the direction of the cinnamon rolls. "Well, you look like you were trying to communicate telepathically with those rolls just a moment ago, so I'd probably start with one of those if I were you."
3- "Not exactly. We've got some pastry puffs filled with feta cheese and spinach, if you think that fits your green leaf quota."
"Yeah, I might feel a little better about my life choices if you include one of those,"
4- "A flour accident? I hope no cinnamon roll was injured."
5- "People know me. They wouldn't dare do anything to endanger their daily bread deliveries."
6- No pressure or anything, but I think my cinnamon rolls miss you.
Well I don't want to speak for them, but I think the spinach and feta puffs do too.
Katniss E [Nov 6, 2014 2:30 pm]: No offense to the puffs but I think I only have eyes for the cinnamon rolls.
Peeta M [Nov 6, 2014 2:31 pm]: I respect your commitment.
7- "And I'd hate to stand in the way of true love, would you like me to arrange a rendezvous for you and the rolls?
8- "Just give me the pleasure of your company while I cook."
9- "Orange."
She almost laughs, not quite expecting that answer, but she considers this, pursing her lips thoughtfully. "So, what that says about you is...you're a traffic cone."
Peeta laughs loudly. "Quite an accomplished traffic cone, at least."
10- "He kissed you?!" Madge exclaims excitedly, and Katniss scowls despite her blush.
"Yes, calm down. We're not in high school anymore; this really isn't that scandalous."
11- "There's always a line at the bakery of women who want my buns."
Katniss groans loudly. "You did not just really say that,"
12- "See, you're already improving just by virtue of being in the proximity of my bowling prowess," he congratulates her
13- "We don't have to stay long," she suggests, her pulse fluttering in excitement, and he nods eagerly.
"Yes, you know, I definitely feel like I'm going to start getting tired around, say, 11 o'clock?" he says questioningly, his mouth stretching into a grin when she laughs.
"Yeah, that's usually when it hits me too,"
14- 'Katniss, I'm gay. And being with you helped me realize it. Thank you.'
'Katniss, I'm actually married and have three children in a different town.'
'And also, you are not the only woman I'm having an affair with.' (best parts were how Katniss' over active imagination worked lol)
I really loved how the story worked out though. It was funny, smutty and totally HEA!! Really enjoyed reading it lol
