    Summary

    I wrote this a long time ago, for Lovelytothebone, and never cross posted here from tumblr:

    Peeta is struggling with the guilt of hurting Katniss while hijacked, so he tries to show her how much he regrets his actions, as tenderly as he can.

    Summary

    Peeta is full aware that he sounds like something terrified. Something deranged, but Katniss nods firmly.

    “I believe you," She whispers. "I believe you. But it's all stopped. We're safe, sweetheart, I promise.”

    His voice cracks when he next speaks.

    “I can't go back to them again.”

    Katniss brings her head forward so her forehead rests against his, and all Peeta can think is that she can’t possibly be comfortable in that position; leaning up into his shaking frame with her hands still warm and steady against his jaw.

    “I will never let that happen.”

     

    Alternatively:

    In which Peeta Mellark doesn't want Katniss to see just how badly he's holding up until everything eventually comes crashing down on him. A sequel to "all the version of me dead (and buried in the yard outside)"

    Summary

    Post Mockingjay - in which Katniss is struggling coming to terms with her new life, learning new coping mechanisms and slowly understanding how to let Peeta in for good. Meanwhile, Peeta is learning just how much Katniss is trying to get better, recognising her efforts with the romantic aspects of their relationship and coming to terms with just how best to look after his girl. A little bit of an emotional roller coaster - healing isn't linear!

    (Katniss is struggling, softness eventually ensues)
