THIS IS AMAZING.

Oh, my. I think I am just going to commission you to write ALL the fic for every fandom until the end of time. This left me speechless:

The house will remember him.

The house must remember him.

And how could he forget the house? The way its gnarled fingers carry the smell of fresh bread through the crevices of their wood floors to collect in hardened knots, wrapping around his body - small then, and even now - to taunt him, as if he could ever have anything other than hardened, slightly molding crusts dipped in warm tea to make it palatable. As if he could even claim to have the right to want anything more than that.

I don't even know why. I just... how do you make something as inane as describing a house so utterly beautiful?

[hyacinthian]

YOU ARE TOO NICE TO ME. ♥ Feel free to spam me with general series feelings btw.

I just love this kid (and Katniss, obviously) and those idiots so much.

I need to read Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Probably won't be for a while, but expect me to spam you will a million PMs when I do - even if you are totally over it by then...

I do not anticipate ever being over this series, jsyk :D

OH GOD THE FEELINGS THE FEELINGS THERE ARE TOO MANY

I just. God. This is so beautiful and right and oh god there are no words for how PERFECT this story is, how utterly Peeta, how you did right by him, and how important that is because hardly anyone does right by him, he is so much more than Katniss and this mindless devotion, he loves with reason, he lives with reason, and you've just infused your story with so much of that.

I love this. This is my headcanon and I am quivering all over with how perfect this is. I love it. Thank you for writing it.

GAH.

SO MANY FEELINGS FOR ALWAYS

!!!! THAT IS A HUGE COMPLIMENT, THANK YOU SO MUCH. And you're so right, his love for Katniss imo is filtered through very specific lenses and it isn't just about her as a person, but about what she represents and they're just so amazing.

Thank you for reading and I'm glad you liked it!

I CAN'T STOP OBSESSING OVER HOW GOOD THIS IS.

I feel like you need to be my Obi-Wan. I am writing THG fic right now (Katniss centric but GIRL IS GIVING ME PROBLEMS) and I would love to get inside your head about how you start dissecting this characters and tell their stories and

I LOVE THIS
