There’s something very “this would’ve happened anyway” in Katniss and Peeta knowing each other through so many phases of life, especially in contrast to what happens with Katniss and Gale’s friendship which diminishes the minute it’s something other than hunting in the woods.
Peeta had feelings for Katniss since she was 5. So he knew and liked the girl with the braids who would sing, then still liked the 11 year old who because guarded because her mom checked out and dad died, then he still liked the girl who was trying to survive the Hunger Games, then he loved the girl that he actually got to know who was an amalgamation of all those things and traumatized. And he grows back together with a depressed girl who lost everything .
A similar thing happens with Katniss on a smaller time scale where she likes the boy who took a beating to give her the bread, she likes the charming guy who wants to remain himself in the games, she loves the boy who she actually got to know who is all those things but also thinks nobody needs him. And she grows back together with a boy who was brainwashed to hate her
And that’s the inevitability of Everlark, they’ll always come back to each other no matter what life throws at them, and that’s because at their core they have similar principles and seem to be fond of every aspect of the others’ character instead of only one dimension. Not because they were thrown into a traumatic situation together.

"I like to watch his hands as he works, making a blank page bloom with strokes of ink, adding touches of color to our previously black and yellowish book. His face takes on a special look when he concentrates. His usual easy expression is replaced by something more intense and removed that suggests an entire world locked away inside him."

Not gonna lie, the “Peeta: Katniss you can’t kiss me but btw can I smell your neck, I need it to sleep” tag you had has been living rent free in my head. Because I always feel like we always discuss how insane Katniss was for him during the Quell but we never touch how unhinged he was during the Quell too when he thought he was going to die . He did not have to have his lips touching her neck during that hug, especially since it was lingering and neither of them were letting go.
And don’t even get me started on the constant flirting starting back up . “You’re perfect to me” , the weakness for beauty like, wanting to spend every minute of his life with her, extra married couple kisses.
him saying “i want to spend every minute of the rest of my life with you” like??? he’s clinically insane. sick with love.
honestly i love how desperate they are for each other. i really really enjoy how much they get along and how easy their relationship is, but it’s so wonderful that there’s this undercurrent of urgency. i do fully read their relationship as being codependent and i don’t think that’s something they ever really break away from. i don’t know if they can. i think the reason mutually-frustrated-mutually-obsessed post mj!everlark is so fun for me is because i Love the idea that they attempt to set up walls between them that they continually breakdown solely because they can’t stand to be apart from each other. katniss doesn’t want to be in love. cant stand to acknowledge love. but if she doesn’t see him at least once a day, she feels sick. peeta can’t run the risk of being tortured by his feelings for her anymore, and therefore refuses to engage in it unless it’s the Real thing, but he can’t stand not touching her. not being around her. they drive themselves and each other crazy with their need because they’re soulmates and there’s nothing but themselves who are in the way of them being together and it’s. ugh. it’s so so fun to think about.
and also related but unrelated: i really do love how much chemistry SC wrote them with. it’s so delightful to see just how attracted they are to each other. katniss thinking things like how it’s a luxury to sleep beside him, or how good peeta’s lips feel against her neck, or her constant commentary on his looks and the strength of his arms. it’s just cute. it’s really really cute that they’re so into each other. i love them so much.
what if katniss spends months post-mockingjay just pining for peeta in the most chaotic and tragic ways possible, bringing him her catches from the woods as tokens of her love and giving him begrudging affection for taking care of her. and then eventually cuddling him all the time and getting in his way to prevent him from doing literally anything else except cuddle with her. like she’s a huge cat. and eventually it works. and buttercup watches the whole thing approvingly, glad that she’s finally learned how to behave. what then
obsessed, quite frankly, with how katniss resents love, resents how deeply she loves. she was completely traumatized by her mom’s emotional withdrawal after the death of her father, and made the decision pretty much thereafter to never love someone else that way. and the fact that she goes through the trilogy absolutely refusing to call what she feels for peeta love, even when it absolutely, 1000% is, because she refuses to acknowledge that vulnerability within herself… oh it’s so good. it’s so good. the fact that recognizing love within herself is equivalent to shoving a knife in her eye is so good. i love this character

Pale as a ghost, Peeta climbs the steps. It’s so silent in the Square that I hear the wood creak. The tears are streaming down his face now. Curling his hands into fists along his sides, he takes his place next to me. Finally, reality sinks in, crushing me. I’m not going to wake up. They want me to kill the boy with the bread. They want me to kill the boy I love. (or: The Hunger Games but Katniss and Peeta are a couple when they are reaped.)

in the LotR films, the Riders of Rohan are primarily women in fake beards. They put out a call for anyone who owned a horse to come be an extra with that horse, and I guess a bunch of women showed up and they just stuck fake beards on them. That's just a thing that happened and now every one of them would be replaced with a fake CGI dude.
There's hundreds of random people who can say "yeah, I was in Lord of the Rings for a couple scenes" and that would never happen today.
