#that LITERALLY has not happened in five years

[atelierlili]

It's time take you back to the past

to play the shitty games that suck ass.

Some besties wanted a list of Everlark fics recs where Katniss and/or Peeta are blasted to the past/alternate universe to relive the events of the games to fix it, so here we are!

Time Is Never Found Again...Or Is It? (113,000 + words) by blahblahblah1703

Katniss, after talking to Snow in his rose garden, finds herself somehow back in her childhood home. She has seven months until she enters the arena for the 74th annual Hunger Games, along with the love of her life, who when she last saw him, was still struggling not to kill her, just perfect.

The pre-game everlark that happens here is 🤌. This is part one of a larger series. The sequel (which is wonderful as well) can be found here. This is the series that got me into this rabbit hole.

Afterburn ( 104,000+ words) by BlueMaple

Katniss Everdeen-Mellark goes to the woods surrounding New Appalachia, a.k.a the former District Twelve, on the morning of the fiftieth anniversary of the final Reaping of the Hunger Games. There, she is literally waylaid by her own past, and wakes in the past, six weeks before Primrose was first Reaped. Alone, grieving, terrified, and without a clue on how she got there (and then), she realizes that it will be impossible for her- on every level- to simply live through events as they transpired in her personal future. With no way to return her to that future, she is nevertheless determined to get back to her own party - hopefully with a lot less damage and fewer crucial casualties along the way.

This is apart of the All Sorrows Less series, which is still being updated. It's filled with wonderful side characters, mindblowing twists, a baby I will kill people for and GILF Katniss, what more can I say?

Second Burn ( 127,000+ words) by carnationhes

Katniss wonders if things could be different if she got a second chance. And then she gets one. This morning she wakes up back in District 12 after Peeta's warning of the bombing on Thirteen.

Have you read Second burn? Why haven't you read it yet? You should read it. It's amazing. Literally makes my brain chemistry tingle. I think this is most accurate depiction of a Katniss being blasted to the past with no meta explanation why. It's sooo soo soo good. I'm on my knees please read it and please read the sequel Ignite as well. This series is so underated please.

over and over (lost again) (13,000+ words) by TeaBrigadier

I died in the Hunger Games. It isn’t even the first time it’s happened. I’ve died in the Hunger Games five times now

This is a very self contained time loop where Katniss continuously relieves the first games until she gets it right. I know it doesn't really fit the theme, but this one makes my feel happy feelings and i wanted to recommend something that's isn't so long so I'm adding it anyway. Deathloops are fun!

Ongoing:

Catching sparks (19k words) (Last update 26 Feb 2024) by Silver_Cleo

The time when 23 year old Katniss and Peeta get transported from their home in what had once been Victor's Village of District 12, and into the bodies of their much younger selves, who have just woken up from exiting the arena of the 74th Hunger Games.

Here Katniss and Peeta get traveled to the past to the point where they just win their games. It's a great WIP. I love Everlark working together and being cute + humanizing the 74th tributes and their family <3

I'm probably missing a few, but these are my favourite ones so far. As much as I love the trope, I know it's a monster to take on from a writing standpoint so props to the writers!

I hope you enjoy them <3 There's nothing I love more than shining a light on amazing fics new and old. If you have recs of your own, please send them my way. I love this trope so much haha

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ One Year Commemoration Post↬Sumeru Love Hexagon

-; ੈ♡˳ BEHIND THE HEXAGON

☆ The primary inspirations behind this AU are Alhaitham's Demo and this Fan Musical that debuted on Spring HoyoFair 2023!

Alhaitham's Demo no doubt gave many writers and daydreamers heavy brainrot and I happen to be one of them lol. But it was not until the fan musical that I had a concrete enough idea. I was charmed by the amount of tavern shenanigans this concept had the potential to bring, which is something that I really wanted to write at the moment :>

☆ Originally, Scaramouche or, Wanderer wasn't even supposed to be part of the AU!

Mainly because I didn't see many inclusion of him in the Sumeru Crew (at that time) and was unsure how it'd be taken D: But then, I remembered the v3.6 trailer where he was duking it out with the others and I was like 'why not?'. From that point on, he's come a long way and has even become the Best Boy of the Hexagon! :D

☆ Scaramouche's 'innocent in front of reader and the opposite behind their back' act is a tribute to his very first in-game appearance in the v1.1 Unreconciled Stars event!

This is something I'm humbly proud of, so to say. I still occasionally go back and admire the writing from that event. I think it's absolutely criminal for such a lore-rich and well-done in terms of character introduction event to be limited but oh well. Scaramouche, in my opinion, can be an excellent actor when he needs to be and if you watch the story from this event, you'll understand. Combining this with his mental state from after the Interlude Quest creates quite a messy situation though and, I kept it that way intentionally :>

☆ In the initial draft, Alhaitham was written as a very jealous character!

The cause of it being reader's infinite care for Kaveh. But obviously, I scraped it and wrote a much more toned down version and I sometimes wonder if I should've gone with my initial thoughts. Admittedly, I was playing it safe due to some reality checks regarding his character so I don't regret it a whole lot. But if it was up to the present me, I would be down to writing jealous Alhaitham immediately lol

-; ੈ♡˳ QUESTIONNAIRE

Does the Reader have White Knight Syndrome?

Well, I didn't originally write them with this particular condition in mind, however, upon further reflection I can see that they definitely show some symptoms of it. And considering the situation they're in, it's very easy for them to fall into the condition itself. I'm not at all qualified to diagnose someone with a mental condition so, my answer will have to a soft no. However, if anyone wants to imagine them as such, they're of course free to do so.

Is there any character you'd want to write differently if given the chance?

I already mentioned Alhaitham to a degree but, I really really wish I had been more considerate of Cyno. We're entering debatable territory here but the Hoyo writers putting so much emphasis on Cyno's TCG addiction and jokes while handling his actual lore whimsically made me lose interest in his character at that time. Though, I hope his upcoming Story Quest will fix this and do his character justice <3

Who is your favorite among the boys?

If you've lingered around my blog for a while, I know you thought I was going to say Alhaitham but, within the confines of the AU, it's actually Kaveh! He's like the initial spark that kindled the actual fire, as such, he's the first one you read about. I felt immense empathy for him after I learned about his lore through leaks, which is reflected onto the reader as well. Had this been a different timeline, Kaveh and Reader's relationship would be pure wholesomeness.

Who among the five is the endgame?

Ohohohoho.. place your bets because it can be literally anyone :) Even someone outside the hexagon in the off-chance they end up slaughtering each other lol. Kind of out of topic but, I think the Wanderer route would be genuinely heartbreaking unless he does something about Reader's mortality. He'd have to watch the one person who truly loved him decay slowly, while he remains afloat his raft of artificiality, safe from the clutches of death temporarily. Thinking about the endings make me feel quite sad honestly, it's a reminder that even the lighthearted shenanigans of the Hexagon will end at some point.

-; ੈ♡˳ ENDING NOTES

I could've easily done a writing event to celebrate the anniversary but I just really, really wanted to talk about these little tidbits. Many many kudos to you if you've made it this far, I hope I didn't bore you :')

Memories are fragile things, so I'd like to think of this as a memorial of sorts that I can look back to after a few years and not think of myself as a total failure lol. I wrote this AU at a rather difficult period of my life, which is why this is more lighthearted despite falling into the Yandere genre.

I don't really know how to express my gratitude without sounding overly sappy, but I'll forever remember every interaction, comment, ask etc regarding the Hexagon fondly. I even remember someone saying they're binge reading this late at night instead of studying for an exam or something which is.. wow, I hope you're doing well nowadays my fellow night owl! I appreciate every each one of you for even taking some of your time to read my silly ramblings <3

This is not at all the end of the Hexagon AU, just to clarify! I'll still answer any asks regarding the five losers (affectionate) because, despite the limitations placed by reality, in fiction, we have the power to imagine and write infinite tavern shenanigans.

Just before I posted the original concept, I thought to myself, 'If even one person smiles because of this, I'll consider it a success.' and now, looking back to the amount of people that enjoyed the Sumeru Love Hexagon (very silly name but I digress) I just feel so, so happy.

Thank you, everyone, sincerely <3

#sumeru love hexagon #well turns out i cannot do this without getting emotional after all :I #hsr is a big distraction these days so i really hope cyno's sq gives me good brainrot so i can return to my roots>:( #i almost didn't want to post this but screw anxiety #happy anniversary hexagon #genshin impact x reader #yandere genshin impact x reader #yandere concepts #yandere x reader #yandere genshin x reader #yandere genshin impact #yandere #yandere kaveh x reader #yandere alhaitham x reader #yandere cyno x reader #yandere tighnari x reader #yandere wanderer x reader

Kim k was a literal bully who instigated a witch hunt against her just because she and her bitchass slave apologist nazi husband at the time wanted to. The song on the album isn't even that vindictive, it's her telling what happened and saying that she wouldn't be where she is and wouldn't be forced to heal if it wasn't for her bullying her publicly

Let me start by saying I don't give a damn about Kim K, but I just find it funny that Taylor wrote on Instagram that there was "nothing to avenge" and that her wounds are "healed", yet she's bringing up drama from literally over five years ago and bringing Kim K's daughter into it - I am of the opinion that you leave children out of your drama, adding that line with her daughter means your not over it. You don't include the kids, period.

Not to mention, at least know when you're being manipulated. Because we all know, right? The only reason she released this now was to get her fandom hot and bothered so she could then release reputation TV.

Not to mention, yeah, Kim K is a bully, I agree, but so is Taylor, who dated a known racist and wrote an entire song doubling down on it. I genuinely like a lot of her music, but you all act like she's perfect. She's cheated, slut shamed in her music, and acted just as petty. Not to mention, her fans bully anyone they perceive has done her wrong, even with no proof and she sits back and let's it happen. Now, they are flooding Kim K's Instagram, so Taylor is just as bad as she is now. congratulations.

I think people would like Taylor a hell of a lot of more, if her fans didn't act like she's perfect. Like she's just as flawed as the rest of us! Also please for the love of god, if you can't take criticism of Taylor just block the anti taylor swift tag, it'll be better for you.

#anti taylor swift #taylor swift #the tortured poets department

[sandersgrey]

One of the fucking... saddest things about Kit is that, after his dad dies, he's fully contextless

Like. Everyone who knew him is either dead or turned his back on him. He is now one of the people he's been taught to hate, and they're busy with their own shit, too, so it's not like anyone besides maybe the twins has time to help him w that!

He doesnt know any of those bitches!!

Imagine losing everything you ever had. Your family, your friends, your house, your belongings, your very sense of self....

Is it any wonder Kit clung to Ty so tightly it broke him?

#alex wont shut up #kit herondale #tda #twp #kit rook #and the thing is. kit is SUCH a good son #he does EVERYTHING johnny and then jessa ask of hom #even in sobh #he goes to school for the first time in like five years and does enough academically that its never mentioned #he makes friends who arent mundanes #he goes and trains to be a shadowhunter. bc jessa arent active ones but its still Law #and early tda Kit didnt have anything to lose by cutting ties to shadowhunters #but now he has runes. now he has skin in the game #literally. what do they do w deserters? they flay them alive to derune them #and jessa would never let that happen to him #but kit would never make them pick #im just. god. fuck. hes so fucking yragic #hes lost everything #twice over #and hes still kicking #i would be DEAD dead fr

[orcelito]

my heart fucking dropped here. Vash compartmentalizing like crazy, and then the reveal of him having used nearly half of his remaining life power...

using his literal life force to give himself time to bury wolfwood and recover...

for His Sake... eat and regain strength for Him...

aaaaand i started crying here for the Fifth Time at the callback to when vash and wolfwood fought over the sausage while eating spaghetti

aaahahaahahaha

and that's the end of volume 10! ahah ha ha h ha

Ha.

#speculation nation #fanny reads trigun #trigun spoilers/ #last image. is how i feel right now. #literally. 5 times crying. LITERALLY i have cried only three times total this year besides this #so now i have cried 8 times. and FIVE OF THEM. were for wolfwood. #(yes im keeping track. i cry so rarely it's very easy to keep track of how many times i cry.) #i am. never going to be the same person after this. #my entire vashwood experience up until now was Knowing this was going to happen #recognizing the Painful Things. the Couch. the 'I wanted to share my tomorrows with him'. and so on. #but i really was not prepared. i reaaaaaally was not prepared. #i shouldve fuckin saved this for a time when i dont have a presentation in the morning (that i havent even started) #it's... it's fine... i'll be fine. #ultimately this was happening NOW and i couldnt really stop it. #volume 10. fucking Volume Ten man. nothing else has hit me harder. #really this is a new record. previous records for things that have made me cry were tales of xillia 2 that made me cry twice #critical role calamity made me cry twice. nabari no ou made me cry at Least once & i was fuckin bawling so that counts for smth #but. five times. tears down my face sobbing Five Times. nothing has EVER made me cry this much before. this is literally insane. #oh wolfwood.............

tell me if you think I'm breathing good...

#em draws stuff #flintlock fortress #team fortress 2 #a better caption would be 'please sit down for five minutes you literally just got operated on' #as it stands it's lyrics from 'doctor' by gawain and the green knight. love a lyrics-caption in this house. #one of these days I will stop only drawing 3/4 of the polycule but the proportions are most truly driving me up the wall #posing's a bit awkward here but this was an outfit sketchup that got out of hand #also this is a fascinating sort of. step back from your own brain moment for feeling weird about posting something I drew #the rat says 'this is too ...something for tumblr' and the logical mind says 'you drew this man sticking his finger in his own bullet hole' #and Then I got weird about showing his legs and also giving him a little hat? That's really going to be what I got weird about? #the inside of my head is truly a wild place to hang out #anyway Stay Tuned there's going to be writing that goes with this. eventually? #'em shouldn't you write the part that actually happens at the beginning instead of skipping right to the big finish' #ha! that sounds like rule-followers' talk! certainly none of that going on in here! #watch me put ansel through the plinko of horrors live on tumblr dot com. or whatever. #also I desperately needed to take a break and from long years of experience I know that Scrungled Fellow in Shirt is simply Where It's At. #he looks weird and wrong with no glasses but hey so do I!

[4e7her]

OK SO

i just made myself a huge like masterlist p much in discord with all my fics in it. i’ll need to put tumblr stuff in it too later but THE HOPE IS. that since i will be able to easily scroll through all of it. (google docs mobile is hell and i usually write on my phone) i will actually be able to SEE ALL MY FICS. and not forget about what i am working on.

i’m also keeping track now of what i currently want to work towards and what i have in my inbox over here. before i was kinda just checking every so often and then forgetting and then checking and then forgetting etc

WITH ANY LUCK. this will mean more consistent posting. i CANNOT promise anything because i am a human and thus flawed. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK TO WRITING MORE.

i have five twstober prompts left to write and eight requests in my inbox and then i will open requests again. i will NOT be hosting any request EVENTS for the near future - twstober will be the only event i am planning on regularly participating in. i would like to instead focus more on my full fics and my ocs as they bring me very much joy. please ask me about my ocs i will love you forever /platonic. i will also add something to my request rules for asks about ocs because i will take any and all excuses to talk about them

CHEERS I HOPE THIS WORKS BROS. I NEED TO GET A WHITEBOARD OR SMTH FOR A REMINDER IN MY PHYSICAL SURROUNDINGS TOO FOR MY BRAIN

#i am one of those people that likes timeblocking in my calendar #but that doesn’t work for me for writing #i write when the writing mood strikes #which isn’t very often unless i am hyperfocusing or am reminded of my wonderful beautiful boys (my ocs) #white board would be ideal so i can write down like top three priorities for writing and work on those for a week and then cycle through #i think we might have one somewhere #i still haven’t unpacked all the way from when we moved six months ago 💀 #i’m doing my best #anyways tonight has been a lot of ranting #i love writing i just kind of forget about everything that isn’t placed in front of me regularly #so scrolling through years of google docs on my phone doesn’t really work #they’re organized into folders on google drives. but the folders don’t translate to docs. #it’s terrible. #solution? #make a discord server into a masterpost #this is also a useful way for me to store small ideas without clogging up my drafts #fnaf laundry fic has like five pages of notes of fun things that could happen and then has like a chapter or a half a chapter done #so i can move stuff over #and for something in the water #i literally have a whole nother document filled with fun ideas #wyn is my baby girl you don’t understand #i have literally 16 current fics you can’t blame me for forgetting about them if they’re not all there okay

[anotherbeastarsblog]

so yeah immedietely this isn't news but it's been a while since I've season one y'know?

This girl has an anxiety disorder. Like it's almost not even funny or relatable the way it was when it first came out like she needed to figure out that the way she worries about and reacts to things is having a negative impact on her life and tried, like, LITERALLY ANYTHING sometime before now.

#Aggretsuko #The implication is literally nothing has happened or changed in her life for six consecutive years right? #That five year gap between graduation and the start of the show creates all the biggest problems I have with both Retsuko AND Haida I think #but then you wouldn't have the weirg christmas cake relationship thing which matters? I guess? #Works for shorts but when you want them to be characters with arcs? #yeah the early eps feel bad but that's true of most shows #Aggretsuko rewatch liveblog

its so ironic that i remember everyones birthday like of people who matter and who absolutely dont yet somehow people whos wish matters always forget mine

#and its not about birthday its just about remembering something about someone #and tbh i personally am not really fan of my own birthday so it didnt matter all this time but this year it was really sad #im always the one who take initiatives for celebrations at hostel and these girl literally came to tell me sorry we forgot to bring a cake #like what am i supposed to do with that piece of information? #understandable it was exams but you didnt forget about this girls who had her 2 days ago #and still i convince myself birthdays dont matter anymore everyone is busy with their lives #wouldnt hurt you to take 2 seconds to send a text like #and im so confused because ive never enjoyed the typical cutting the cake wishing and giggling traditions why im even upset #that its eventually finally fading away shouldnt i be the happiest #just because i dont keep mentioning every five minutes its my birthday on this upcoming fucking day doesnt mean you need to forget #im mad over such a silly thing but it seems like im a bit forgetful #maybe its not about birthdays and its projecting on this certain topic #this has defemitely happened before like oh shit sorry we completely forgot to invite you #or maybe all my school life i was the center of attention and didnt ahve to try so hard to make myself count #its like im always asking please mujhe bhi bula lena please bata dena jab plan karo

[henpeckedho]

So, like...I have finally reached the point in my Trauma Healing Journey when I'm discovering that while I am still a bit mentally ill and very neurodivergent I'm nowhere near as bad as I was/thought I was.

Turns out a lot of the worst of my mental demons was just bad living situations.

And that is a truly baffling and wonderful discovery at 35 years old. That I'm still mostly okay. The wiring inside will never be normal but I'm mostly okay. And I'm finally in a place where I'm getting better.

#the world may be ending but i'm mostly okay #it just turns out you shouldn't spend all your time with people that hate you for whatever reason #i now need to figure out what i'm doing for the rest of my life #cause it's definitely not this job #but that's okay!!! #it has really been a blessing of a bridge job #i do think the answer will likely to be to go back to school at some point #but not at the moment #maybe finish writing that fucking novel so i can make like the five sales goal i got #and to say i did it #i kind of took this year off and it was GREAT #i'm still burned out don't get me wrong #but i truly TRULY see the light at the end of the tunnel #i haven't wanted to kill myself in an entire week #an entirely unmedicated week #literally has never happened before in my life #and honestly my first thought when i realized that was ...shit...I actually have to plan now? #but what a wonderful problem to have #and it wasn't like a oh i don't have active si week #I didn't even have PASSIVE si #i didn't even know that was possible y'all #i thought that was a myth

#you know. back in early or mid-january i was thinking i was finally getting my blood sugar under control #after a year of literal blood sweat and tears i was almost there!!! #and then my insurance and my endo’s incompetence happened #and they wouldn’t give me my insulin or my one non-insulin medication #and my blood sugar was worse than it was when i was in the fucking HOSPITAL over it #but i thought we got past that #in february they finally refilled both of those meds (after i’d run out) #and i thought ok. this still sucks but i can start getting back on track now. #except. now my insurance has once again decided NOT to give me my non-insulin medication #(which i am out of again and nearly a week overdo for a dose) #overdue* #and they are not only saying that they have zero records of ever giving me this medicine that i’ve been on since last year #(which. how tf have i been getting it then?????????) #but that they wouldn’t let me have it anyway bc i’ve only tried one cheaper med instead of three #which is a rule no one ever fucking told me about!!!!!!! #and with the way these meds work it would likely take two months MINIMUM to prove that two of them don’t work #and then another three months to get back to the dose i need of the medication i’ve already been on #which is a minimum of FIVE WASTED MONTHS #during which my blood sugar will likely stay bad and the other meds will give me who knows what unbearable side effects #and none of the meds they want me to try even do the one thing i chose my current medication for!!!!!! #and even after i get back to my dose of my medication it will still take a month or two at best to get my sugar numbers #back to where they were in january #which means this whole mess could reach into september or october #and increase the whole diagnosis-to-control timeline to nearly 2 years instead of just 1 #if not even later #i want this whole system burned to the ground i am so unbelievably done #personal

The cis male ability to mansplain a subject I myself brought up astounds me. Like I actually want to study them under a microscope. My guy, I brought it up. Why are you explaining it back to me?

#anyway went to dinner with my partner's fam. actually had a good time but their father is still their father. #the waiter did his best not to even acknowledge my existence. talked to my partner's dad exclusively even though there were five of us. #he also retold the story of agamemnon (something to do w the wine we picked) and i perked up like !!!!! yes i've read it!!! #i kept coming in like yeah that's right!! but the man did not even look at me once. he was even standing so he was turned away from me. #but to explain the mansplain thing sdfghfdss.... i mentioned i was reading the name of the rose #and FIL bulldozed anything i was going to say about it and started explaining it to me as if i'd never read it? or heard of umberto eco? #my guy i literally just brought it up. #i've been noticing this shit happening a lot more lately. got serious woman-in-her-20s syndrome. #i'm simultaneously a 15 year old girl and a ghost. whoa the tiny little woman has heard of this extremely famous greek tragedy?? noooo #oh my god and she likes to read?? and she likes history too?? no she doesn't she's wrong let me explain her own interest to her. #sometimes i sit there and i honestly want to scream. like would you like to know what i know??? for once?? because i actually know things. #anyway i know exactly why cis men do this i know all the cogs. and i have no patience for it. #in good news my partner and i managed to steal a few moments alone at a book store and i bought a few history books #whose subjects would absolutely pop my sexist FIL's mind like a grape. i'm fucking pissed off. okay. i'm good i'm done.
