Star Crossed Lovers {Peeta♥Katniss} #98: "Peeta says it will be okay. We have each other."
#98; S t a r c r o s s e d lovers desperate to get h o m e and two h e a r t s beating as one • • • They both came from a different world. Katniss Everdeen was from the Seam, the poorer part of town. She had lost her father in a mining accident prior before she was eligible for the Reaping. Peeta Mellark was the baker's son. He was from the Town and didn't have to depend on getting tesserae and having food on the table. However, Peeta had saved Katniss when she was younger as he gave her the kindness of giving out two loaves of bread when she was the verge of dying. From then on, Katniss was grateful for the boy who gave her the bread. • • • • • • 01. Stay to the Lights 01. He is her dandelion in the sun "For Katniss, Peeta is an acquired taste. He's not the hot guy that she's into at the beginning. But he's loved her forever, and there's a wonderful kind of close relationship between Jen and Josh that I think serves the Peeta/Katniss relationship so well. It dawns on her slowly that she loves him." "Josh is so charming. He’s so charming! And when you read in the books about Peeta being able to manipulate anybody — I mean Josh could get, well, I don’t know a metaphor for [this scenario] except for dirty ones. But he’s charming, he’s sweet, he’s down to earth, he’s normal. He embodies all of it and brings it all to Peeta. So when you meet him he’s got all of these great qualities and every single one of them come across in every line he says out loud as Peeta." "Probably my favorite scenes are all the scenes with myself and Katniss in the cave, because they’re really emotional and you get to see a lot of their relationship develop there, so for me as an actor, I liked that a lot." "I mean the obvious one is Jennifer. I think Jennifer's portrayal of Katniss is so spot on and she really does encapsulate the strength of the heroine perfectly, honestly. She to me is the one who stands out." "It's good, it's good. It's a good kiss, yeah. For sure." "Peeta knows that if it ever comes down to a head to head with Katniss, he’s in love with her so it’s an obvious choice what he’d do." • • •I fumble. I'm not as smooth with words as Peeta. And while I was talking, the idea of actually losing Peeta hits me again and I realised how much I don't want him to die. And it's not about the sponsors. And it's not about what will happen back home. And it's not just that I don't want to be alone. It's him. I do not want to lose the boy with the bread. • • •No one bothers us. By late afternoon, I lie with my head on Peeta’s lap, making a crown of flowers while he fiddles with my hair, claiming he’s practicing knots. After a while, his hands go still. “What?” I ask. “I wish I could freeze this moment, right here, right now, and live in it forever,” he says. Usually this sort of comment, the kind that hints of his undying love for me, makes me feel guilty and awful. But I feel so warm and relaxed and beyond worrying about a future I’ll never have. I just let the word slip out. “Okay.” I can hear the smile in his voice. “Then you’ll allow it?” What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that. So after, when he whispers, “You love me. Real or not real?” I tell him, “Real.” • • • • • • O u r soundtrack

I was very hesitant to start THG because I didn’t want to get hooked on another series. For a while, I tried not to pay attention, but then it seemed like THG was following me everywhere I went, and I had been looking for something to sink my teeth into, so I caved and ended up reading the books in 5 days (sleep and work got in the way). The books are brilliant. Thrilling, exciting, and gut-wrenching, they took me on a real emotional rollercoaster. The reality and brutality of Panem and multiple deaths in the books took an emotional toll on me, but nothing affected me more than the relationship between the star-crossed lovers, Katniss and Peeta. I shipped them from the absolute beginning, when Peeta’s name was called out. The more the books advanced and we got to see glimpses of Peeta’s character, the more I fell in love with the idea of the two, because from the beginning they balanced eachother perfectly. Peeta’s interview of course sealed the deal for me, and from then on, I was hooked. The ending of the games with the berries was beyond anything I could’ve expected, and I was really sad to see Peeta hurt when Katniss admitted her confusion about her feelings. The second book, for me, was about Katniss falling in love with Peeta. Even though at the beginning of the book she had decided she did not want to be with him, her heart didn’t seem to agree, and she kept gravitating towards him despite everything. Her feelings became obvious when she went into the QQ knowing she was gonna die to save Peeta. One of my favorite scenes in the book is the beach scene, because that’s where Katniss and Peeta resigned to the fact that neither of them could survive without the other. The end of CF was devastating, just like most of MJ (thanks SC! ). Katniss broke my heart in the first half of the book when she struggled to go on without Peeta. She became a shell of her old self, almost like her mom, breaking down and avoiding everyone. Her feelings at that point had become obvious, even if she could not name them (Prim and Finnick would agree with me ). I was even more heartbroken when Peeta came back hijacked I felt bad for both Katniss and Peeta, because it was not his fault he was like this, but I also understood why Katniss couldn’t stand to be around him. But in the end, they were always gonna make it together. Despite everything, Peeta’s love for Katniss was stronger than the hijacking, and slowly he remembered his Katniss. They saved eachother over and over again. The ending of the trilogy was very bittersweet. Because while they did end up together and had – probably gorgeous - babies, they were surrounded by a cloud of death and abandonment that the war left behind, but what mattered was that they were together, just like it was always meant to be. It didn't hurt either that the THG/PK fandom is the best on earth! Thank you SC for writing the books and those characters, I think they will forever be my OTP! my first date with katniss everdeen rated t peeta mellark tumblr
