A quick note on The Hunger Games: I, hater of all trendy lit, read the first book two weeks before the movie came out. Liked it. Loved the gender role reversal. Saw the movie. Also loved it. Stayed in and marathoned the last two books on Monday and am now absolutely in love. Will post more about this, um, at some point?
KATNISS/PEETA HANDCUFF PORN.
(book three, people, shackles in book three)
I'M SORRY IT'S ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT.
Like, I had three days of, "wow, I love the bait and switch tactic this series uses to deliver a poignant anti-war message; I love the bleakness combined with the hard won happy ending and the message that sends; I love how this series has the potential to change minds about gender and violence."
And now I'm like
SO
KATNISS
PEETA
SHACKLES, HUH.
And Peeta trembling while Katniss kisses him, while making sure his shackles are pulled to the point of pain? And his tortured PTSD, mindfuckery, and reality testing?
AAAUUUGHHHH
I am actually surprised I made it three days before being consumed by my boner for ALL OF THE ABOVE. My kinks, you guys!
From Mockingjay, pg 314 in my hardcover:
It's a long shot, it's suicide maybe, but I do the only thing I can think of. I lean in and kiss Peeta full on the mouth. His whole body starts shuddering, but I keep my lips pressed to his until I have to come up for air. My hands slide up his wrists to clasp his. "Don't let him take you from me."
Peeta's panting hard as he fights the nightmares raging in his head. "No. I don't want to..."
I clench his hands to the point of pain. "Stay with me."
Oh, okay, she's clutching his hands and not twisting his cuffs, which is what I was picturing.
WHATEVER, BONER.
AND THEN THEY HAVE MAGICAL PTSD BONDAGE SEX IN THE FUTURE.
Like, okay, so, picture Peeta, tied up, lightly beaten, half delirious in a basement somewhere--
"I asked for this," he pants, "Real or not real?"
"Real."
THIS IS WHAT I WANT. I have not checked the fan fiction at all for this shit, are people on this? Crazy boy in handcuffs? BECAUSE GODDAMN.
Anyway, the other fic idea I am obsessing over:
Hannibal Rising/The Hunger Games crossover.
WAIT WAIT WAIT, HEAR ME OUT
Okay, okay. I know. I want young Hannibal in everything. It's true! But the boy loves his sister, okay?
So, uh, ignoring the gender division thing for tributes, imagine, oh, 15 or 16 year old Hannibal at the reaping. A 12 year old girl is chosen. He knows her, though he's never spoken a word to her--Hannibal hasn't spoken since his parents were killed during the last uprising--and she is soft and kind and reminds him ever so much of Mischa.
So he volunteers in her place.
Cue bb!Hannibal completely ignoring his mentor, generally not giving a fuck, then killing the shit out of a bunch of tributes and eating their hearts, thus solving the food scarcity problem in the arena.
AND THEN HE WINS BECAUSE I AM ON TEAM HANNIBAL, I GUESS. I DON'T KNOW.
God, this is awful. But I want to do it so bad! BUT WIPS.
iklfdlgdkjgdkjgd.
Also I'm sort of trying to get
etirabys to write this aaaamaaazzzing XMFC/THG crossover with Erik as a tribute and Charles as his mentor. It would be wonderful. Please consider bothering her about it in your spare time.
What else.
Oh, well, obviously Kane would do great in a Hunger Games set up because he would run around from everyone and hermit up and use all his survival skills and then probably kill people via traps. Luca would have a shot at winning because he's good looking and studly and charming so sponsors might send him a bunch of shit, but despite all his fighting skills and physical prowess he's actually really not down with killing people, so he might hesitate at some critical point and bite it.

You can't tell from these pictures, but Namor is basically a fun loving slut too, all right.
FINNICK IS THE NAMOR OF DISTRICT 4/NEW ENGLAND. I am actually not the only person who thinks so!
But seriously, Namor:
See
this tumblr post.
NAMOR I LOVE YOU
He is such a stud, okay. Also him and Emma have this sexy thing fling going on sometimes.
He brings a SUSHI CHEF to Atlantis for Emma. It's pretty baller. Also they totally banged before she was part of the X-Men. CANNON.
Also, burrrnnn!
He helps Emma kidnap Shaw for revenge, by the way. They are sexy little deviants together. Plus, he can FLY, FUCK ALL Y'ALL.
And by "all y'all" I think I mostly mean "Scott Summers."
Actually, there is this fantastic bit in Uncanny X-Men #8 with Namor that I have to post here one day; it's too good not to.
