I had a go at writing something…. Short and sweet (like moi!)

Nothing to do, nowhere to go but here

She remembers the first time. The first time she had nothing.

Nothing to do. No place to be. No one to save, no hungry mouths to feed, no house repairs, no calculations to make. No grief. No schedules.

She felt no overwhelming sadness. No fear. Just the feeling of … nothing.

Was she happy?

She lay in bed the sunrise illuminating the room and pondered this. Was she happy?

What was happy another part of brain countered?

She knew sadness. She knew rage. She knew panic. And yes right now she could say she was happy.

The bad feelings that lived in her would always be there she acknowledged but they no longer took over every part of her thoughts, her time.

(She reminded herself that she shouldn’t label her feelings as good or bad - feelings were not so simple)

But this nothing feeling, well this was very new. It was a lightness, a sort of freedom.

She had just woken with no to do list, no need to do anything really.

Her mind idly moving between thoughts, her fingers tracing patterns on the sheets, she wiggled her toes and scrunched up her face just allowing herself to exist in a moment with no plan.

She wondered if this is what life is like for other people- normal people.

Do other people have days of nothingness? She smiled at the thought, what once was a luxury was now her normal.

Beside her, she felt her love stir. He opened his eyes and his sleepy blue eyes focusing on her alert grey ones, a soft smile appearing as the he took her in.

“Hey,” he mumbled

“Hey yourself” she replied mirroring his smile.

“Whatcha doing?”

“Nothing, absolutely nothing. Care to join me?”

And as the sun rose in the sky Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark lay in bed holding hands and doing absolutely nothing.

There would be more nothing days, but this first one would always be special, the first time she became became acutely aware that life could and would be better.

The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. Only Peeta can give me that. ~ Mockingjay p. 260

I was having a bad day with another piece of work so I went back to fix an old one I had lying around.

I don’t care if you think Katniss grinning widely and happy is OOC Peeta makes her happy and she does the same for him ok 😭❤️❤️

Description: Peeta Mellark is the sole victor of the Quarter Quell. With District 12 nothing but ash, he rebuilds his life by moving to the Capitol and falling in love with Rosalia Snow, granddaughter to Coriolanus Snow.

Then people Peeta thought long dead kidnap him and Rosalia, including the one person he hates more than anyone: Katniss Everdeen. They say he's been hijacked. They say that he used to love her. Locked away in District 13, Peeta is determined to protect his mind and his fiancée from the rebels. But while imprisoned, videos disprove his memories and his feelings toward Katniss grow confusing. Who can he trust, and what really happened in his past?

Chapter Twenty-Two

I know right away what Rosalia’s put into me. Morphling. My muscles are loosened and I’m awash with relaxation. Even though my thoughts are telling me in a fuzzy voice that’s Rosalia, get away, my body doesn’t do anything. 

But Katniss does.

The arm with the needle sticking through it is the one that holds Katniss to me and she flings it off, shoots up, and puts her hands on Rosalia’s throat, shouting as she does so. I tell myself to move, but the morphling delays everything. Rosalia has backed away, Katniss getting dragged off the bed as she keeps her grip on Rosalia’s neck, and I can only push myself up to my elbow. Katniss slams Rosalia against the wall, letting out a stream of unintelligible sounds.

That’s when I see Rosalia isn’t alone. An unfamiliar man—the details of him unclear in the dark—has charged Katniss and has her by the shoulders, trying to yank her off, but Katniss is locked on. Rosalia is gasping and I hear the “ee—ee—” of my name wheezing out of her.

The initial shock is wearing out and my body is finally fighting back against the morphling, the adrenaline combating its effects and I sit up, swing my legs over when I remember my damn prosthetic is off to sleep. I try to locate it, but the morphling is making my brain like liquid, unable to hold onto anything. Up until the man punches Katniss in the head and then there’s only one target. Him.

Katniss with a K

"I was mostly upset you wouldn’t ask me directly. Maybe watching too many rom-coms finally fried my brain, but I enjoyed how we were learning little things about each other week by week. It’s like… uncovering a person.” “Just be cool, now,” Peeta thinks to himself.

When a gorgeous stranger walks into his coffee shop on a Friday afternoon, Peeta finds himself wanting to know more about her.

Until it backfires.

Don't you think you owe it to readers to give them what they want?

No? What an odd take. Read my fic or don't.

Hey is the major spoiler the general warning of rape/non con or was there more specifics I didn’t see?

It's more specific than the general warning of rape/non-con. If you click on the triangle next to the "Major spoilers for this fic" then you can read the spoiler.

My trouble was warning people who want to have a heads up and not spoiling things for people who want to experience the story as it goes, so I hoped that a general "this is related to the rape/non-con" would cue in people who need to monitor themselves to take a look.

#roses and pearls #tw rape mention #tw non con mention #tw sexual assault mention

Look, I know the scene where Darcy is describing a truly accomplished woman is meant to be tense and stuff, but I can’t be the only one who thinks it’s hilarious that when Elizabeth told him off for it, he asked if she truly thinks so lowly of her own sex. That entire conversation is essentially

Darcy: for a woman to be accomplished, she has to live up to all these standards

Elizabeth: no one can live up to those standards

Darcy: wow, you don’t think women can be all those things? Sexist🙄

Elizabeth: bitch-
