The cardinal question is this: What is a fool? Are they madmen who mutilate their own flesh, those who see what isn’t there, those whose minds drift in a fog? Some of the crazed are indeed violent and must be restrained, placed where they can’t hurt others or themselves—but dungeons aren’t the solution. And those we call morons, imbeciles, half-wits, and simpletons don’t deserve what they get. Unfortunately, we ignore the distinction, lumping everyone together as property because anything unnatural is unnatural. As the Seasons say. “My opinion? A fool is a man who believes glory can be found at the tip of a sword instead of on the tip of his tongue. ’Tis a woman who judges with her eyes closed. ’Tis people who invent aberrations from speculation and rumors. ’Tis bred from ignorance. That is life’s cruel trick.”

Reviewing in a way I never did!

@andshewaits

I love your hunger games fanfics and am gonna go crazy here lol

Star: He's the son of a gentleman. She barely passes for a lady. In a world of ballrooms and proper snobs, they're best friends...until friendship is no longer enough. But who will admit it first is the maddening question. Historical AU.

An amazing fanfic that made me swoon. Peeta was so amazingly sweet that jIust wanted to hug him and never let go. I pity Mr Mellark and anyone who had to witness Katniss and Peeta's interactions lol. Poor Katniss, she felt so bad and put her walls up without knowing it after knowing of Peeta's escapades. So Glad that they found there way to each other and lived happily with an amazing family!

Enemy: I'm Katniss Everdeen-Snow. I'm eighteen years old, the president's granddaughter, and the youngest Gamemaker that Panem has ever known. I've been taken prisoner by Peeta Mellark and the rebels of District 13. But I'm dangerous and trained to kill, and I'm not going down without a good, long, hard fight. Canon Divergence.

Amazing what-if fanfic! Katniss was so sweet to help Peeta by acting all authoritative and threatening despite her age. Snow really did a number on her and Peeta, I fuckin hate him. Well what do you know, Kat Everlark (as if Peeta won't know where the last name came from) XD So glad he found his way to her and nothing can keep them apart!

Poet: Peeta is a famous erotic poet who sends readers into a tailspin with his verse. When he moves to Katniss's university hometown, she finds herself at his front door, hoping to get a critique of her story. One-shot. Modern AU. Written for the s2sl charity.

Were you like, trying to make people feel weirdly aroused by this??!! I loved this smutty, hot fic. How epic of Peeta to say all those vulgar words in front of a mortified Katniss haha. The smut was oh shit! and their future relationship, no doubt, won't ever be boring XD

Waterlily: Peeta's a high school exchange student spending a year on Panem Island, a foreign land of blue coves, lilting guitar melodies, and floral-scented breezes. He thought he left his love behind in America. But after meeting a village girl with a wild side, he's not sure where his heart belongs. Modern AU. Banner by Ro Nordmann: archiveofourown .org/works/960816/chapters/1882437

I liked this, poor Peeta, having to live with the images of Finnick fucking Katniss in two different ways. I loved Katniss' rebellious spirit and the fact she was doing most of it for the community was so heroic. One thing iI don't like was that it took them so damn long to get together and the fact Peeta kept thinking of Madge and rubbing her in Katniss' face even after knowing how she feels for him. That was shitty and pissed me off. Happy to see that they finally ended up together and Katniss loved him enough to start speaking again!

Rebel: Peeta is a bad boy. Katniss is a good girl. Neither are interested in changing. But when Peeta's sent to work on the Everdeens' Amish farm during the Autumn harvest, two very different worlds—and hearts—collide. Modern AU. Banners by Ro Nordmann: archiveofourown .org/works/564057/chapters/1008445

The idea of Peeta as a bad boy and player was, idk different. His personality has always been so charming and sweet that it surprised me. So cool to see their quick connection to each other. I loved the fact that everlark had to hide their relationship, makes it hawt!! Very informative and well written and I am so damn happy to see that they finally found each other and didnt have to hide anymore. Peeta, please work on your proposal skills XDD

Legend: People in the kingdom whispered about a legend: a boy with a bow. They said he took up residence in the woods, hiding out while committing random acts of kindness, namely stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Historical AU. Robin Hood. Banner by Ro Nordmann: archiveofourown .org/works/562105/chapters/1004309

Amazingly amazing, this one over here! Thank god Peeta, in a way, saved her from having to marry and bear kids of Seneca fuckin Crane. he doesn't deserve her!! Dancing around their feelings is such a Katniss and Peeta thing to do its not even funny. Hot as fuck sex and then they had to fall in love, damn! (damn for them, I was celebrating ;) ) They really had to go through so much but it doesn't matter much, because it brought them to each other and made them stronger. I loved their kid, so talented like his parents. Pretty cool conception there, kid!!

Fae: When they were children, he stole her heart. But then he vanished and she never saw him again. Many years later, Katniss finds a portal into an enchanted and dangerous forest, guarded by a fae boy who seems vaguely familiar. Fantasy AU. Banner by Mr. HGRomance: archiveofourown .org/works/683931/chapters/1255009

This is my favourite fanifc written by you!! and one of my all-time favourites in fantasy genre. Poor them, they both suffered so much after losing each other. they were so young but the fuckin Faes took him and hurt them both. How utterly clueless in love were they that they never entertained the possibility of being each other's Moonlight and Sunset. The hunger games type of challenge was so amazingly done and I believe no one could've written a fantasy version of the games better! "I remember you." awww such a tender and amazing moment. Poor Peeta, he did the right thing letting her go but it rewarded him in the long run. Mr Everdeen, so glad he remembered (wIas feeling sus when he disappeared without trace) such a sweet moment to see the Everdeens finally reunited. I loved the ending and it was such a wonderful journey :D Can someone bring me Finnick so I can kill him? Hated him in this. And would've loved some everlark babies but hey! it was perfect!!!

Are you writing any more THG fanfics?

most anticipated books of 2020  ♔  Transcend by Natalia Jaster

An arrogant deity, a snarky archeress, and a rebellious attraction. He's the rakish God of Envy—all vain smirks and conceit. I'm the spitfire Goddess of Sorrow—all edgy vibes and sarcasm. For a pair of outcast deities, we’re one hot magical mess. He's hardly amused by my prickly attitude. And I don’t have time for his narcissistic crap. Too bad we’re stuck with one another. A magic battle against the ruthless Fate Court has begun. Transported into an enemy realm of celestial seas and starlight, this sexy, irritating archer and I weren’t supposed to get separated from our band of rebel immortals. In the midst of a war, we weren’t supposed to end up lost in an enclave of dark, mythical waterfalls. And we definitely weren’t supposed to end up alone. Not with each other.

Everlark Fic Back Friday-Fantasy Edition

I’m in the mood for a good fairy tale this weekend, and these outstanding examples are worth revisiting.

I picked those who could be made an example of, not as a vicious attack but as a tease. Always, they laughed at themselves in the end, because my jokes were that good, that perceptive, that well placed. The princess hadn’t laughed. That reputation encompassed her tenfold. More’s the pity.

He holds out a trembling hand and traces the shape of her arm, descending to her elbow. “You’re like mist,” he says. “You really don’t feel this?” Love shakes her head. “No.” But that’s not entirely true, because this illusion of a touch has turned her into a current, this human has reached down to her bones.  - (touch, natalia jaster).

Gifset 1 of ? by @titaniasfics

I went down my review history to the very beginning, when I first started reading fanfic. These were the first fics I read, the ones that made such an impact on me as a writer and fangirl. I have others but these stood out to me because they are the ones that drew me into writing. 

I’ve read so many more. I will likely make other posts! (Fun fact - Madam Beth’s When the Red X is on the Door is the first fic I ever beta’d for :) ) 

Links featured below are for fanfiction.net.

Clockwise from top:

Not in Our Favor (twilightcakes) -  Katniss thinks she had found her happily ever after with Peeta, but when a hunting accident lands her in the hospital, she wakes up discovers she has no idea who he is. Her memories of life for the last two years are all blurry, but she does however remember Gale. Will the baker that seems to be her polar opposite be able to win her over twice?

Fae (HGRomance) -  When they were children, he stole her heart. But then he vanished and she never saw him again. Many years later, Katniss finds a portal into an enchanted and dangerous forest, guarded by a fae boy who seems vaguely familiar.

Rating - M, Words - 71,689

When the Red X is on the Door (Madam Beth) -  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.

Rating - M, Words - 374,836

When the Moon Fell in Love with the Sun (Mejhiren) -  “It’s something out of an old tale: a golden young man in a white bearskin, striking strange bargains with desperate souls on the cruelest night of winter.” Peeta Mellark, winner of the 74th Hunger Games, returns from his Victory Tour to make the starving Everdeens an offer they can’t refuse. Canon divergent, based on the fairy tale “East of the Sun and West of the Moon.”

Who are you? That question. It’s the most vital inquiry they’ve ever encountered, the most elusive answer they’ve ever chased. This is who they are. Wonder and Malice. She’s a goddess of libraries and blossoms, a wandering deity who dabbles in legends and defies the odds. She’s a wisher, a muser, a fighter who has gifted her heart to a demon. He’s a god of pages and pomegranates, a scheming deity who dabbles in secrets and curses the odds. He’s a plotter, a thinker, an offender who has offered his heart to an archeress. Together, they’re tempters of fate.

I was charging my Kindle this morning and it struck me, isn’t this amazing? 

These original works by some of my favourite writers are such incredible achievements.  

And luckily I have plenty of space for more to come (looking at you, @krousewrites, and you, tanb ;) ) and I am hopeful of seeing many more original works by the talented writers in this fandom on my Kindle sometime in the future.

WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS!

4.5 shining stars!

“What does that feel like?" 

It feels like the line between pleasure and pain is non-existent. It feels both like coming home and saying goodbye to a good friend. It feels like savouring words and devouring them at the same time. That's what this series feels like.

"What's your pleasure? What's your pain?"

Answer to both is...reading this book. Natalia Jaster comes back with the last installment of Selfish Myths series and I couldn't be sadder to see it go. But out it goes with fireworks, or should I say - with falling stars. I have been in love with Envy since the very first appearance of his stylish bisexual ass. In "Touch", he's been a sparse, and yet very prominent presence - and I wanted to know more, more, more! In "Transcend", my expectations were not only met, but rewarded tenfold. So to sum up what I loved about this book, let me arrange a swift list: ♡ emotional love story between two bisexual characters ♡ Natalia's poetic prose game is as strong as ever ♡ seeing the whole gang together - all their scenes were precious and golden ♡ only Natalia can drive me to tears with a few simple sentences like "What does that feel like?" or "...you're every emotion I've ever felt" (what a love confession *sobs*) ♡ an extremely rewarding ending to the series - I liked how the main conflict of the series was resolved ♡ learning Envy's and Sorrow's backstories - not going to lie, when I first learned of Envy and Sorrow, it felt somewhat out of the blue, as if they were simply thrown together for the sake of pairing everyone off - and yet, with "Transcend", Natalia digs deep into them as characters and their connection is explored beautifully; it's so much more than first meets the eye and how they progress from two stars shining in the same sky to fuck buddies to Everything™ is...well, everything :) ♡ Sorrow - I was intrigued by Sorrow but only superficially at first; here, she's the kind of female character we don't get to read about often and one that I can't help but love - irrevocably and unapologetically: "I’m condescending, and crude, and gruff. I don’t blush. I don’t pine." ♡  "His stench is immaterial, a ploy for the weak who think being a dickhead increases the sex appeal of heroes. If anyone asks her, the more despicable one behaves, the uglier one gets. A chiseled jaw and full lips haven’t a prayer of amending that." SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK TL;DR: do yourself this tremendous favour and start reading Natalia Jaster's books! This series has been a beautiful journey, just as "Foolish Kingdoms" before it. I truly cannot wait for the next series Natalia writes - I don't know what it will be but I don’t need to wish upon the falling stars to be sure that it will be AMAZING.

Book Rec: Touch by Natalia Jaster

"Love wants love. From the way it looks, it must be wonderful." Touch is a beautifully crafted tale. Love is lonely and aching for what she doesn't understand. Helping humans find the perfect match is her purpose, and she does her task well. Until someone comes along and challenges what she knows to be true, and makes her feel more. Simply perfect @andshewaits fashioned a tale that gave me such physical reactions. I devoured this book. Do yourself a favor, buy it, and enjoy.

What’s the sexiest fanfic you’ve ever read?

ieeeee Anon, put me on the spot why dont'cha? I'm kidding, lol. I feel like because of the volume of lemons I have produced over the years, I have to, you know... spread the love. These are all pieces hot enough to bring me back for a round two (or three or four). They're like comfort fics at this point lol. Also, a lot of these writers have some other seriously smoking hot pieces, but if I have to pick a fave...

Touch by @swishywillow. I think this might be one of the first sexy fanfics I read. It's canon compliant, a very quick read but oh so delicious. (If you like this one, proceed on to her story Sweet Dreams)

Seven Minutes, Seven Years, Six Kisses by nonemoreblack. It is so choice. Unf.

Waterlily by @andshewaits / HGRomance. asdfklsdajskgnrfs The. Haircut. Scene. Jesus help me.

No Unicorns by @badnovels / MissHoneywell. I know I know, she's known for the darkness, and this is Not It. But I am a cream puff and this one just gets me every. Single. Time. I've lost count how many times I've read it. The banter (*squeals incoherently*)

Flux and Dustjackets by silvercistern. Holy mother of... Read. Now. Thou shalt not regret it.

The Bread Whisperer by PenelopeWeaving. So so good.

Writer's Block by @peetabreadgirl. I can't not include this one. It was written for me after all. And also...It Be HOT.

Just Friends by @booksrockmyface @hpfanonezillion (same writer, different URL's). I know this one isn't really a smutty fic, although there is sexual content in it, but I'm throwing it up here because I really enjoyed this one and the tenderness. Very sexy.

Love Is... and also Even by @everlarkeologist / Annie Oakley. Don't make me choose. I cannot. So you get both listed here.

Hot for Teacher by english5672. Me >>> puddle.

Wanted by @peetaspikelets​ / Pikelet184. *Insert drooling emoji here* Sooooooo sexy nom nom nom.

A Year in Provence I have to give a shout out to this one by merciki / @thegirlfromoverthepond It’s not smutty but it reads like poetry, as do so many of her shorter pieces, so you know it stirs the soul with sexy language use.

Violent Delights by @rosegardeninwinter. Now, before Cate comes at me for throwing her on this list, I will admit this too is fairly tame in terms of sexual content, but see the thing is, I am not a vampire type of girl mmkay? And yet DANG! this one is *chef’s kiss* Makes me wanna find a vampire and.., okay you get the point. Sensual.

Merry, Happy, Joyful by @andthisisthewonder / ellembee. Okay, another fairly tame one, but there’s nothing sexier than a good sense of humor and this one has me rolling in laughter every time I read it. Excellent fic.

And last but certainly not least, a few of my faves from @muttpeeta / atetheredmind: Voyeurs, Swing, Roommates, Talking Body, For a Good Time Call, aaaaaand One Good Turn. Bring a fan and a cold water spray bottle, also your serious “I am not reading smut” face.

#are they still shadow banning tags??? #like what even... #there be sexy times here #anonymous #look at that ask
