What really happened to Peeta during the in-between moments of the Hunger Games series and beyond? This is Peeta's story from Catching Fire through post-Mockingjay including scenes that fit within The Time It Takes. It is not a retelling of scenes from the books and chapters are not back to back in time but rather are vignettes dealing with significant events. Spoilers. Please R&R.

The effect it has on him is nothing short of satisfying. But wrong, so, so wrong, and different and not me. It's the hunger. The side of me that I didn't think would be.

The fire begging for more fuel. *Rewritten*

We wondered when we would escape, or if we would all die in here, eventually, when out hearts refused to go on. The others wondered if the rebellion would work, but most of us wondered: would the rebels know to find us? Or were we doomed to be forgotten, starving... and finally, mercifully left for dead? AU. Haymitch/Undersee Clove/Cato Marvel/Rue and many more.

Katniss thinks about the answer to the question her husband has never asked. You know, the baby one. The answer surprises no one more than her.

Post-Mockingjay/ pre-epilogue. An expansion of Katniss and Peeta rediscovering each other.
