I'm not the education of Peeta Mellark poster, but I would love your old fic recommendations!
Okay so I know this has been in my Inbox for... a while... but I've been thinking about it for the ENTIRE time. Here is literally only SOME of my old fic recs, le classiques as one might say (aka the ones I read when I was 13 and are in brain forever).
PSA: Some of these, I have not reread since I was 15-16. Also not in any order in particular. Whatever I could remember first :)
There is a bunch more but I barely managed to fit the below in! Thanks for asking I like talking about fics I love <33
Alone In A Crowded Room by wollaston & Pompeiigraffiti (aka alonglineofbread on tumblr) - AO3 & FFN
If you've spent even 10 minutes talking to me about everlark fics, you will know how much I love this fic - how much it meant to me as a starry-eyed 15 year old. And shockingly to no one, it still means that much to me 10 years later. Genuinely, if you can stand to read the difficult topics in this one, you should read it. Required reading in my eyes lol
Rebel by HGRomance - AO3 & FFN
In my books, if a fic inspired art then it's perfect. Peak. Incredible. I don't actually remember much of the plot of this one but it found me at a time when I was obsessed with those "Leaving Amish" shows so... great timing! Anyway, Katniss is Amish, Peeta is a bad boyyy!
Flesh and Bone by BaronessMeggie (BaronessKika and MeggieMellark) - FFN
This is another I don't quite remember the plot of perfectly but the scene at the lake has been ingrained in my brain. If you loved the new Superman movie then this fic might be for you! It's Super!Peeta and Lois Lane!Katniss.
In 2020, sadly we lost Kristin (BaronessKika) but she was a beloved member of the community and her loss is still felt greatly today. My follow up rec is another fic by her: All the President's Men by authoresskika - FFN
In My Head, In My Heart by iLoVeRynMar (aka thegirlonpeetamellark on tumblr) - FFN
I have a completely parasocial relationship with some authors from the 2012 - 2014 era. One of them is iLoVeRynMar. In My Head, In My Heart and She Let Me In Her Bed were 2 of the first fics I ever read and then I found a lot of my favourites from her own recommendations. Truly what a person to randomly bump into on the internet. Thank you, truly <3
After they lose both their parents young, Katniss is forced to hand Prim over to their distant aunt as she was named a legal guardian in the will. Katniss needs to get Prim back, she needs to becoming her legal guardian but to do so she has to go through grief counselling - where she meets a certain Peeta Mellark.
