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.

After all is said and done, what if Katniss chose wrong? Her marriage to Gale is not what she expected, and seeing Peeta with Delly drives her to the edge. Katniss/Peeta. Rated M for a reason! I own nothing...obviously

Cato & Glimmer/ Katniss & Peeta/ Foxface & Thresh/ Gale & Madge- Lots of other fun pairings as well. Just lots of smut and lemons! Mature readers ONLY!

And only one of them can have it. KatnissxPeeta. Lemon.

'You were about as romantic as dirt until he said he wanted you.' Haymitch's words stung her. "I'll show him desirable," she grated out through clenched teeth.

One-shot. Takes place at the beginning of Catching Fire, from Peeta's POV.

Peeta and Katniss are back in District 12, And couldn't be more miserable. They haven't yet found each other again, and that may take some time. Or maybe all it will take is a friendly or not so friendly game of Hide and Seek. Read and Review :

Peeta takes Katniss in and tries to help her regain a normal emotional state. But will a certain creeper in the window try to prevent that? M for violence and language. Read and Review pleeeaaasseee! :

A story about how the Hunger Games in my opinion should of ended. How Peeta and Katniss fall in love and get through obstacles. My very first fan fiction. Will be a bit different than the books in the end.

In Mockingjay at the very end of the novel the author mentions that Katniss feels something for Peeta one night as they are growing closer after the war is over. This story talks about what happened that night when Katniss realizes she is in love.

Peeta and Katniss have been married for 3 years,and Peeta really wants kids. Katniss isn't really sure yet,but she finally makes her decision,and they start trying to have a baby. Rated M for smut/language!

During their train journey on the Victory Tour, Peeta finds he may be good for more than just helping Katniss sleep. Peeta/Katniss WIP runs concurrent with Catching Fire and Mockingjay

Katniss and Peeta slowly reconnect after Mockingjay. My take on the epilogue with lots of Lemons!

There is something not quite right about the torture Peeta suffered in the Capitol, something that went beyond the hijacking, something more ominous than Haymitch, Gale and Katniss could ever imagine.

I love her like the moon loves the stars, and the dance the trees share with the wind. I want torture this thing that binds her to this pain. I want to skin it and find it's muscle. It's threating to spill out of her like rays of the sun.

"That's Katniss Everdeen," he says. "That's the Mockingjay's daughter, Peeta." AU.

"This boy, who had sacrificed for me, whose kindness stretched further than any other person, who, in the face of trouble, would give his life for me, was pressed against my body, inside of me, closer to my heart than anyone had been before." lemon

Haunted by the ghosts of lost friends and the demons of the past, sleep is sometimes hard to come by in the Everdeen/Mellark household. A collection of oneshots featuring our favorite survivors and what they do when they can't sleep. Katniss/Peeta fluff.

Post-Mockingjay. Katniss and Peeta's lives after they grow back together, from their engagement to their marriage. Lots of fluff, romance,humor,and drama!

"Who told you about sex?" his mother demands, furious. She stabs the air in front of her with her fork. "Answer me. I need to know who told my eight-year-old son about sex. Answer me."

Different people best communicate in different places.

I'm terrible at writing these, but it's based in Mockingjay, before the epilogue. My chapters are really lengthy, but their definitely worth reading and waiting for the "steamy" parts. ; Read and review please!

A one shot that may be turned into a multi-chapter story. Katniss and Peeta enjoy a moment of strength together months after the end of mockingjay.

Peeta and Katniss are teenagers right? So why not act like teenagers? Sorry I'm not to good at the summary.

AU. Take a deep breath. Wipe the sweat off your hands. Don't let her scowl make you nervous. You're only talking to the girl you've been in love with your entire life.
