WIP Wednesday
I was tagged this week by @thelettersfromnoone and last week (or the week before that?!?!? 🫣) by @mega-aulover and @thesweetnessofspring but I never posted anything for those. So here’s a snippet of a pseudo historical ficlet I’m working on, The Courtship of Lambs.

“In that case, please give your mother my regards and thank her for the tonic,” he lifts the small jar slightly before placing it in his sack. “Are there any other herbs or cuttings she or Miss Primrose have need of? From up in the hills?”
“I shall have to ask her,” Katniss says and thinks to ask him when they might expect him again when the bush beside her shudders. Both of their heads turn and spot the culprit.
“No!” Katniss shouts as Peeta attempts to shoo away the placid lamb that happily munches on her raspberry bushes. The lamb bleats and the dog barks as Katniss sets her hands on her hips.
“I apologize, Miss Everdeen, I--”
“That is the third time this month that troublesome lamb has consumed one of my raspberry bushes.”
“He is only eating what he sees as available food,” Peeta points out and Katniss snorts indelicately. “If you would allow me to repair your garden fence—“
“Perhaps you should pay your flock greater mind or I shall be forced to turn that lamb into a stew!”

I shall tag @mega-aulover and @thesweetnessofspring right back 😏 Also @pookieh @mtk4fun @wendywobbles and @creamytinydays If you want to play. (*attempts Jedi mind trick through internet* you want to play).
WIP Game
Thank you for the tag @mollywog :)
Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.
I moved some of my fic ideas that were more fleshed out into separate docs now :)
Also the draft of my new profile picture is in there 👀
Tagging @waywardangel-wilds @mega-aulover @thesmileykate @fyreflys @batrachised and anyone else that wants to do it!
I’m not actively working on most of these but the file goes on. Most of this stuff is actually years and years old that I’ve re read just to see if I still liked it (spoiler: no I don’t)
Tagging: @mollywog
Thanks for the tag @waywardangel-wilds!
Tagging @rarepairheathen and @thelettersfromnoone
@rainymyx thank you for the tag.
I am supremely embarrassed 🙈🙈🙈🙈 to announce I have 23 WIP's - so many I've made a spread sheet...if you have any questions - welp...
Now I am not going to tag that many peeps...but I will tag a few... @katnissdoesnotfollowback @norbertsmom @sherlollyandspoilers @hayffiebird @rarepairheathen
Snorts too many to count so here are the main folders instead of individual files lmao.
Pinterest Tag Game 📌
I was tagged by @katnissmellarkkk , @distractionsfromthefood , and @buggiebite to post the first character, real person, quote, and outfit when I open my Pinterest. The resulting aesthetic is your vibe. Lmao there were zero characters and quotes on mine and any real people were… modeling outfits. So I’ve adjusted.
babe wake up new fic trope just dropped
I'm not saying you should but i AM saying that i would READ THE SHIT OUT OF IT
Like, Peeta being like, "what, i get to propose all over again???? woo you all over again???? date you all over again?????? what a GIFT honestly! Katniss is like: Bold of you to assume i'd say yes again. Peeta: 🥺Well, maybe now YOU need to woo ME.
He'd move out and stay with Finnick and Annie until Katniss makes an "honest man" out of him
and Katniss, feral little beast that she is, would sneak into Finnick and Annie's house through the window because she just can't sleep without her man.
Finnick is 100000% done with Katniss. Would you please just propose to him already? He’s cleaned the house top to bottom three times. My kitchen constantly smells like baked bread and Annie’s getting way too used to it. We all know you’re insane for him just romance him a little bit for cripes sake and he’ll fold like a house of cards in a hurricane.
I realise a lot of girl’s Gay Awakenings was kiera knightly or kristen stewart which is cool phenomena tbh but I’m rlly interested in other Gay Awakenings like for example mine was morena baccarin in firefly and also gemma artenton in st trinians. CALLING ALL GAYS (boys and nb babes included)!! reblog with ur non kiera/k-stew Gay Awakening!!!
me 250 words into a chapter: Gosh, how am I gonna make this at least 2500 words?
me at 6193 words on accident: Uh

Chapter 7 of Eternal has now been posted to AO3 and FFnet, and it's the wedding night, go forth and enjoy! This of course means the "E" rating is now in full effect going forward. Thanks to the lovely @louezem for prereading!
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.

Request: Katniss and Peeta baking together… or something 😉 with the ingredients
Here you go sweet anon!
I totally got carried away. I mean, Katniss got carried away while they were baking. Yeah totally. 😉
omg where did you and your family go? that sounds delightful, my entire spirit craves this zero data environment
My mom took me and my sisters on an extended vacay that included a three day cruise. So it wasn’t quite as isolated as it maybe sounded lol. I could’ve had data access but I would much rather splurge on spa time and tasty beverages than the ridiculously expensive ship board internet etc. Plus it forced my boys (including Mr kdnfb) to figure shit out on their own instead of constantly “Hey Mom/Hey honey” ing me.

Spellbound Johanna is all over that collection lmao. 🤣

Hey!I hope u are allright kinda a bit worried for u
I’m fine, Anon. I’ve been traveling with family and for part of that trip, I had zero internet or data access. I do mean zero. None. So my silence this time has been for good reasons. I’m back home now and I’ll get back into the swing of fandom things soon tho.
