    Summary

    They’re in his bathroom. Peeta has set Katniss down on the edge of the counter and now she watches him as leans forward to check the temperature of the bath.

    The girl on fire is still trembling from the cold, and when she catches sight of herself in the mirror, she sees near-blue lips and haunted eyes, blood smeared across her cheekbones and hands. She looks like something insane, something feral.

    She stands there before Peeta, suddenly self conscious about the way she must look under his gaze. Her skin looks as if it’s been stretched over her bones, Katniss Everdeen is gaunt, sinewy , rough at the edges, and she’s healed wrong so many times in the past few years that her body is a patchwork of old fractures and burns that are still slightly pink.

    Katniss wonders how Peeta can even recognise her like this. 

     

    Based on the prompt:

    Could you write a oneshot AU type thing where when Peeta comes back to Twelve after the war, instead of planting primroses or maybe after he plants them, he takes Katniss upstairs and gives her a long bath and washes her body for her. A bit more of an intimate parallel to her bathing him in their first games?

    Summary

    “I’m here,” Peeta murmurs. “Brought you something to eat.”

    Katniss wants to reply. Would like to thank him for everything he’s doing.

    I missed you. She wants to yell it from the rooftops. Scream herself hoarse with it, but she doesn’t. Because her throat is rusted after weeks of barely using it, so all she says is;

    “Please don’t touch me.”

    After the events of Mockingjay, Katniss Everdeen struggles to come to terms with everything she has lost. Peeta is there to help her through it.

    Summary

    'Do you have a heart attack?' Phee asked from somewhere under his elbow. He startled so hard that he almost fell off the tree stump.
    'No, erm, of course not,' eyeing her as he straightened his sweater. 'What makes you say so?'
    'You have a shallow breath and hold your belly like you're in pain,' she replied matter-of-factly. She looked tired, and there was a frown over her face which Linus didn't like. 'Just like Lucy said in his last book report.'
    Because of course Lucy, dear but morbid child that he was, picked for his reading of the month a book about cardiac problems after he learned about Linus' high blood pressure. As was to be expected, the symptoms, complications, and death cases were the focus points in his rather lengthy presentation.

    _
    A story of three months between Linus' return to the island and his move to the Marsyas House, in which he learns that there are more ways to express his feelings than just arts and crafts projects.

    Summary

    “Anthony put on the shoes.” Kate yelled over the crowd screaming behind him, thrusting the leather boots at him.
    “No, I like mine.” He was standing there arguing with her on the side of the stage, while the band riffed behind them, buying time. His legs were bare, muscles rippling under his unbuttoned shirt, ink criss crossing over his chest and arms, he grinned cockily down at her, his hair dangling in his eyes, tongue darting over his lips while he looked at her.
    “We don’t have time to argue!” Kate snapped, taking a step back from him. “Those shoes are fucking ugly, and I would rather die than own that I dressed you in them.”

    OR

    Kate knew what she’d signed up for when she’d agreed to be Anthony Bridgerton’s on tour stylist. She knew from the second he arrived to their fitting half an hour late his manager apologising profusely for a man who didn’t seem the least bit bothered.And it would be fine. If it was just the fact that they sparred every chance they got, and flirted outrageously. It would be fine if she didn’t long to give in. But she does.

    OR

    Anthony is (arguably Kate thinks) the world's biggest musician and Kate is his stylist
