Summary
“This Would Have Happened Anyway” Challenge for Christmas.
Katniss says it at the end of Mockingjay:
“But his arms are there to comfort me. And eventually his lips. On the night I feel that thing again, the hunger that overtook me on the beach, I know this would have happened anyway. That what I need to survive is not Gale's fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that. So after, when he whispers, "You love me. Real or not real?" I tell him, "Real.”
So let’s explore “What ifs” and send your fics on how Katniss and Peeta would have ended together without being reaped, or if only one would have been reaped, or if there were no games… or any other “if”
