When Y/N trades city lights for country skies, it's only supposed to be for three months - a summer spent helping her aging grandmother on the quiet farmlands she once called home. She's confident, capable, and more at ease with crowded streets than muddy boots, but nothing could prepare her for the stillness - or for the people who live within it. Across the fence line, Erwin Smith runs the neighboring farm with his small crew: Reiner with his easy charm, Bertolt with his quiet heart, and Jean Kirstein - stubborn, sharp-tongued, and too handsome for his own good. What begins as awkward run-ins and half-hearted chores soon turns into something softer - a season of rainstorms, laughter, and starlit walks by the lake. The countryside begins to work its quiet spell on her, and somewhere between the smell of hay and the glow of summer nights, Y/N starts to see a different kind of life - one where home isn't just a place, but a person. In the golden haze of summer, under wide open skies, love grows like wildflowers - unexpected, unhurried, and impossible to ignore. "Are you sure you can handle this ride?" Aot au x cowboys.

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.
