My name is Katniss Everdeen. I am eighteen years old. I survived The Hunger Games twice. Peeta was hijacked. He was rescued and he's fighting to return to his old self. I led the revolution that led to the fall of President Snow. Snow. Snow is dead. Coin is dead. Boggs is dead. Finnick is dead. Prim is dead. Everyone is dead and it's my fault. It's my fault. __ Even though the Hunger Games are gone, reduced to the hauntingly horrifying memory of those who took place in it, the demons of Katniss Everdeen's past loom over her, with her wherever she goes. Though she will learn to cope with her losses with the help of Peeta Mellark, whom she holds closely to her heart. Together, the two will help each other to become new people and start their lives again, braving all of the new horrors and setbacks to come with the other by their side. ~There are much worse games to play~ I don't own The Hunger Games. All rights go to Suzanne Collins.

And only Peeta can give me that. So after, when he whispers, "You love me. Real or not real?" I tell him, "Real."

Peeta's and Katniss' life after the uprising. Do they get their happily ever after? *** "You don't see it do you?" He pauses and brushes some of my hair over my shoulder, "You really are the most beautiful woman i have ever seen." He says it so softly that I barely hear him. I find my breath getting stuck in my throat as I stare up at him, his eyes so full of love and yearning. I don't think anyone has ever looked at me like that, like I was everything. *Everlark**Complete* *Mature*

This story is based on the characters, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. They both are from the hunger games trilogy, which is a beautifully written series by Suzzane Collins. The story I have written takes place after Mockingjay, the 3rd book in the series. I hope you enjoy. (cover photo is from Lynx Illustration @IlonaChu on twitter)
