spuffy_noelle: (The Hunger Games - Katniss)
I have been reading way too much fanfic lately.  I've been off for summer vacation for about 2 weeks now and haven't picked up a single book!  For some reason I've been on a Hunger Games kick, and I have a few Katniss/Peeta recs for you.

In Name Only by Izzysamson
In the midst the Great Depression eighteen year old Katniss needs a miracle. Her Papa is dead, Mama has just been hauled off to the asylum, soon she'll be evicted, and Prim put into the child's home. WW1 Veteran, Peeta Mellark, gives her the means to save Prim, he offers to be her husband 'in name only'. The only hitch is; Katniss thinks she loves him… Inspired by everlark recs DD May/Dec prompt

Love Without Reaping by Izzysamson
How would one of Panem's greatest love stories play out if Kanisss never volunteered and Peeta was never reaped and Gale got tired of waiting for Katniss to return his affections and moved on? It would still be epic and dramatic. Peeta must convince Katniss that love and marriage is worth the pain that it may bring. WIP

The Feint by atetheredmind (s_e_irvine)
Peeta Mellark won his games single-handedly at the age of 15. Six years later, he must act as mentor to Katniss Everdeen in the 74th Hunger Games, where they learn there is more than one type of game at play. Very dark Peeta!

The First Time by annieoakley1
Everlark the summer of 2012. When Peeta is about to go off to college, Katniss starts to see him in a different light. Modern Day AU - Characterization is the best I've read and this is a really hot fic.

Maybe It's Just Me by bleedtoloveme
My name is Katniss Everdeen. I am 16 years old. I live in District 12. My best friend has just won the 74th Annual Hunger Games.

In other news I have Part II of Together We Stand off to my beta, and I'm working on a one-shot for [livejournal.com profile] taboo_spuffy. I've also started watching Mad Men and I'm almost finished with Season 1. I'll write up my thoughts on the entire season once I'm finished, but I have to say Betty is pretty badass for a 60's housewife.

spuffy_noelle: (The Hunger Games - Peeta)
I signed up for [community profile] seasonal_spuffy, but have I been writing? No, of course not. I do have a fic idea that I haven't seen done before (doesn't mean it doesn't exist, though), but instead of brainstorming, plotting it out, etc. I'm reading Hunger Games fanfic. Thankfully I am one of the last posters this round...

Ya'll have to read Ricochet by [livejournal.com profile] girls_are_weird! It takes place when Katniss is 21 and too old to be reaped, and therefore cannot volunteer to take Prim's place. It's ultimately a Katniss/Peeta story, although it's pretty much like the books where they're hardly together. I honestly feel like I'm reading Suzanne Collins all over again. It's a WIP, up to the 30th chapter and updated fairly regularly from what I've seen.

Naturally that got me looking for HG fanfic on Ao3, and I've downloaded a couple to my Nook (love that I can do that!). I'm reading Stacked Odds right now, and then I also have (in no particular order):
+ The Ashes of District Twelve Series
+ I Long to Hear You
+ Beyond the Fence
+ Maybe It's Just Me
+ The Only Thing Stronger Than Fear
+ The Bough Unbowed

I don't think I've fully processed TVD season finale... )

What's everyone going to be watching over the summer? There are a few new shows I may check out like Motive, and possibly Mistresses (we'll see about that one), and Graceland. Then there are the usual's for me like True Blood and Dexter. I'm sure I'm missing some, but if there's anything really good I should be watching please let me know!
