Lightly Galeniss :) What if Peeta was never reaped, and someone else was chosen? Add a few new characters into the mix, *slightly* distort Katniss's personality, alter the circumstances a tad, and voila, a whole new Hunger Games experience. How will these slight alterations affect the outcome of the Games? Not romance-based. DISCONTINUED up for adoption

This is a chapter out of a story I am working on. It kinda took on a life of its own and became a one shot. Takes place post MJ. Gale followed Katniss to 12 and he takes her out to the woods to help her heal. But it is Prim, who comes to Katniss through a dream that helps her figure out what she won't let herself feel. Lemons.

Katniss has just come home from the Games and she meets with Gale in the forest for the first time since she has returned. She realizes that she sees him as more than just a friend. Short one-shot.
