Roses and Pearls by HalfHope (thesweetnessofspring)
Rated: E
Description: Peeta Mellark is the sole victor of the Quarter Quell. With District 12 nothing but ash, he rebuilds his life by moving to the Capitol and falling in love with Rosalia Snow, granddaughter to Coriolanus Snow.
Then people Peeta thought long dead kidnap him and Rosalia, including the one person he hates more than anyone: Katniss Everdeen. They say he's been hijacked. They say that he used to love her. Locked away in District 13, Peeta is determined to protect his mind and his fiancée from the rebels. But while imprisoned, videos disprove his memories and his feelings toward Katniss grow confusing. Who can he trust, and what really happened in his past?
@louezem was a huge help in getting this next chapter ready! Thank you so much!
Holding Katniss’s hand as we make our way to the mess hall results in a few wrong turns and taking longer than usual to make it to dinner, both of us laughing at our hopelessness. My thoughts are too buzzed with the absolute elation of holding her hand and getting to say to myself that Katniss Everdeen is my girlfriend. I’m her boyfriend. Not to win the Games or protect our families or for a propo. But because it’s something we want. Something we finally both want.
Although we reluctantly let go of one another’s hand to scoop up our trays of food, when we sit down at the table and greet Delly, she has a smile that’s even more sparkling than usual.
“Did something happen?” she asks. “You both actually seem happy.”
Katniss and I look at each other. We hadn’t talked about how we would handle other people knowing about us. If we’d been normal, I’d never care about people knowing. The propos and the pressure we have complicate things, though.
“Yes,” Katniss says, deciding for us. “We’re together now.”
“You two!” Delly exclaims. “How long have you been hiding this?”
“You’re technically the first person to know,” I say. “And I think Katniss would agree we don’t really want to draw attention to it right now.”
My warning doesn’t stop Delly’s enthusiasm.
I was behind this little suzuki swift at the traffic lights and it caught my eye.... 😉
Eternal - Chapter 3
Chapter 3 of Eternal has now been posted to AO3 and FFnet, enjoy! If you like fantasy AUs then I think you'll like this one :)
Special thanks to my beta team @louezem and @deinde-prandium for catching my silly mistakes and cheering me on along the way!
Summary: She was a determined girl from the Seam. He was a mysterious Prince sent to their realm to tame their wild ways. After an offer of a lifetime to pull her family out of poverty leads to divine intervention by the goddesses, her life is changed forever. When faced with the harsh reality of the growing tension between the Twelfth Realm and the Capitol, Katniss is faced with one choice: betray her people or betray the only man who truly needs her.
May we interest you all in a new chapter?
Free at last from the Community Home, Katniss Everdeen has a new lease on life with her sister and her best friend. It’s her last year in the reaping. Peeta’s too. And Prim’s name is only in there a handful of times. The odds have to be in their favor … right?
If you like marriage of convenience, friends to lovers, slow burn, found family, hurt/comfort, or all of the above, you’re gonna like this story. 😉
A Monday Moodboard for Roses and Pearls.
@louezem sent me into a spiral when she sent me photos of a dress Rosalia would have worn to her and Peeta's wedding. Which led to me making this moodboard/what Rosalia's pinterest account would look like as she planned the wedding. I was going for opulence, class, pink, and of course, LOTS of roses. Thankfully this moodboard never became a reality!
“How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn!”
Finally finished my rendition of Alexandre Cabanel’s “The Fallen Angel” with Peeta - I’ve been wanting to do a piece centred around his hijacking and time in the Capitol for a while so I hope I’ve done at least some of my headcannons justice
some silly buttercup doodles
please just read the whole thing

(I couldn’t resist a quick Peeta sketch)
Featuring: The Rim of the Sky
Summary: It starts in the night, when the rim of the sky is pitch black, so dark that even the stars can’t touch it. Soldiers in orderly lines, wrapped in sleeping bags, huddled against the growing chill in the air. They aren’t really soldiers. Not like the enemy. And not like the ones leading them. The boy and the girl sleep beside each other for weeks. Months. Although he still doesn’t know her name.
Everlark in the Dark Days and the failed assault on the Capitol.
Rating: T+ for MAJOR CHARACTER DEATHS, violence, mild sexual content, child soldiers, blood mentions.
A/N: Now that I've gotten you all nice and cozy with several of my HEA Everlark fics, I now drag you waaaaaaaaay back to 2014 with the piece that really started to gain me notice as a writer in the fandom. It wasn't the first fanfic I shared but until I posted The Rim of the Sky, there were maybe a handful of super kind people reading my fics. I wrote The Rim of the Sky for Day One (Red) of Round 6 (Peeta's Paintbox) for promptsinpanem. I'd been lurking for five rounds of PiP already. I'd written pieces for at least one prompt every round but didn't work up the courage to finally post until Round 6. And this is what I chose to share. Why, you ask? I still don't really know. Long story, but this piece was a massive emotional dump of words. Please note the plural on that MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH S tag above. There is no HEA for this one.
Have I warned you all enough? Scared several of you off even trying to read it? While that saddens me because I still think it's one of my better pieces in terms of language and writing craft, I can understand people wanting to steer clear.
may the odds be ever in your favor !
hitting reblog, head in hands, the sigh heard round the world
