    Summary

    Still, it was a nice thought that someone cried over Gideon in the first place. Especially like that. As if Harrow wasn’t a deranged nun or even the Reverend Daughter, but only a girl who had known her all those years.

    That shared time growing up, even though it sucked total ass, counted for something, right?
    ---
    Or, Gideon wakes up after the Avulsion trial to find Harrow sobbing over her like she’s actually dead this time. She pretends to stay unconscious, just to spare them both the awkwardness.
    Yeah, that doesn’t work out at all, Harrow’s weeping engine just won’t quit.
    Both of them are in a dire need of a break. And some hugs too.

    Summary

    It's been almost 6 months since the end of the war. Katniss and Peeta have managed to regain the friendship they'd thought they lost, but Katniss is unsure if Peeta is ready to face his old feelings and pursue something more between them. Katniss herself worries that she may not be mentally prepared for what a relationship might entail. The problem is, that hunger she felt for him on the beach in the Quell won't relent, and it only grows stronger when they resume their previous sleeping arrangements.

    In an attempt to stave off the hunger she feels for Peeta without putting pressure on him to label what exactly he feels for her, she suggests a simple proposition—that they become friends with benefits.

    But friends with benefits is never as simple as it sounds, especially not with a history like theirs.

    Summary

    It's the time of year for Coronabeth's annual Halloween party. With a theme as interesting as "dress as your sexual awakening", Gideon cannot resist the chance to be a fucking problem.

    Set loosely in the same universe as my fic "A rush of blood is not enough," but it can be read as a standalone modern AU. I quarantined the smut to chapter 2.

    Summary

    Katniss stops me in front of a towering tree. I'm struck with the fact that I can actually make out its top; usually, all I can see when I look up in the woods is a clustered blur of dark green. Single, tiny leaves jumble together in layers above our heads, sprouting from slender yellow stalks attached to the tree's highest branches.

    "You look like you're in love with that tree!" Katniss calls out from behind me. I swivel around and fix my eyes on her again, enormously grateful that the glasses have kept her face and body defined for me under the shadows of vegetation.

    "The tree's pretty nice," I admit in a low voice, stepping towards her. "But I've only ever been in love with you."

    -

    When Peeta's new glasses bring him into a nearly-unimaginable world of perfect clarity, he's entranced with everything he can get his eyes on outside. But most importantly, his 20/20 vision lets him admire his wife in impossible, painstaking detail. All of her.

    Shameless smut and fluff written for @firehelpmeforget's birthday!
