Katniss' life seems perfect. Captain of the Cheerleading Squad, amazing grades, a gorgeous boyfriend (sort of) and an extremely bright future. However, one day everything seems to fall apart as she discovers that she is flunking math and will have to repeat the course if she doesn't pass. That night she is found unconscious in her bathroom surrounded by a pills and soaked with tap water.
Treated like a bomb about to go off, nobody believing her when she says it's all a misunderstanding, the only person Katniss can turn to is Peeta. The boy who she has bullied for most of her life and is now tutoring her for Math. In the animal kingdom, only the strongest survive, but will love prevail?

Sunsetter
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.

Twisted Perfection ~ Everlark
This is a story about Everlark. Here is my own interpretation of how Peeta and Katniss realistically rekindle after Mockingjay Part 2, but with a twist. They both have a myriad of problems and don't know how to cope with them alone. When Peeta has an un-expected flashback and attacks a vulnerable Katniss, can she cope when he has to go away? Can Katniss recover alone? Can she learn to love again? Can they consolidate and finally find peace? That's the ultimate goal: peace.Complete
Crisis of Faith
"How can you not see how I feel about you," Finnick shouted desperately, his green orbs boring into Kaianna's longingly, "after everything we've been through! Do you really not know?" Kaianna shook her head, in a way begging him to take it back. But, he wouldn't. Finnick wouldn't take it back, and he didn't care the cost. Not in the way she did. Not anymore. "Do you really think I don't," She cried, frustrated at the man's poor timing, "I can't love you Finnick-" "Because you're scared," He retorted loudly, "why are you so scared?" "Why are you so not," Kaianna's voice finally cracked, shocking Finnick to his core. He had never seen the girl cry, and now he was the sole reason for it, "loving you, will only make it harder to let you go." "Then love me anyway," Finnick shrugged, as if following the suggestion would be the easiest in the world. To him it was, "just love me anyway, and then you'll never have to let me go."Complete
