What I think would've happened if Katniss realized her feelings for Peeta before the Victory Tour! Will go well into or past MJ. Everything belongs to Suzanne Collins.

When Peeta lies about Katniss' pregnancy they are tested by the Capitol, leaving the Lethal Lovers with only one option going into the Quarter Quell and a new twist in the revolution.

"I want it to be real, too." What if Katniss had realized her feelings for Peeta before Mockingjay? What if the Quarter Quell had been different? What about the Rebellion? This is what might have happened if things had been different. *Disclaimer- All original Hunger Games characters belong to Suzanne Collins* Rated T for violence because its the Hunger Games... duh.

[SYOT 22/24] "As a reminder to those who Rebelled, who without mercy lead their own to needless slaughter, on this third Quater Quell games, the male and female Tributes are to be reaped by the existing District Victors." In a twist of Capitol authority, Plutarch Heavensbee is found deceased shortly after Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark's victory tour. The consequences are grim.

"Even if by some miracle I did survive and he did not - if I did not follow him to the grave from desperation soon after - I would live my entire life trying to solve the puzzle of how to get him out." What would have happened on the beach during the Quarter Quell if Finnick had not interrupted them? *2013 EVERLARK SMUT AWARDS NOMINEE!*

Post Mockingjay. Katniss and Peeta rebuild their relationship while trying to deal with the trauma of having been through the horrors of their lives since being reaped into the Hunger Games. They are there for each other when nightmares creep in the dark, but how does Katniss know when it is not safe for Peeta to be near her because of his hijacking? When the red X is on the door.

With the war over, Katniss has been banished to District Twelve and her mentor Haymitch Abernathy is left to watch over her, but it's Peeta that finds his way into her life. Will Katniss and Peeta be able to navigate a real romance without an entire country watching their every move? And will Katniss' temporary custodian, Gale, jeopardize the relationship they do build?

"The sun was rising, fingers of glorious orange, red and yellow crawling across the sky. The window appeared as a frame around a picture, dawn's ascent bursting from the folds of a delicate skirt the color of burnt copper. I sighed, and turned back to Peeta, holding his hand against my cheek." - Katniss & Peeta discover that life can be Good Again *2013 EVERLARK SMUT AWARDS WINNER*

"I'm sorry," I tell him, barely getting the words out. I'm sorry because I did this to him. Because I would do anything to change this. "You'll come back," I verify against his chest, my voice fragile. "Promise me you'll come back," I demand. Peeta stares at me for a second, the hopelessness still tattooed across his features. "I'll try," he says. Catching Fire AU
