Title: Another Day Another Dollar

Rating: M

Chapters: 4

Word Count: 47,438 (WIP)

Summary: AU. Katniss is living in an over populated area of the city called the Seam. Join her as she traverses the hazards of living in industrial North America circa 1900 as she tries to protect her family.

Excerpt: 

“Do you remember when your father would bring us here as children and we would just watch the window for hours?” she asks, still gazing through the glass in front of them, a childlike smile on her face.

Peeta can’t help but smile at the happy memory as well, “I do. And Cora still worked at the house here and she would always have hot chocolate waiting for us when we got home.”

“And she always said we would catch our deaths from the cold and that your father shouldn’t let us stare at a window out in the cold for that long,” she finishes for Peeta with a light, sparkling laugh.

Delly Cartwright is, in every way, what a lady should be; refined, charming, kind, and gentle. She can make anyone feel special and, Peeta truly believes, she has never said a mean word about anyone in her life. She is also quite beautiful, finally having lost the last of her baby fat over the last summer.

Peeta’s mother had mentioned her good looks in passing a few times since he returned from the cottage and he can’t deny that she is lovely. However, he still can’t see her as anything other than a dear friend; almost like a sister. Peeta gets the impression that his mother has other plans however. She’s been slipping in sly comments about how the Cartwright’s money from the meatpacking mill would improve the Mellark’s comfort tremendously.

Peeta shakes his head at this. He had no intention to marry out of convenience and he thinks Delly would agree with him. It would be too strange to be a husband to her after so many years of acting as a brother.

Part 31- Reason to Celebrate is up!

Excerpt:

    That entire day flashes back to me in an instant and it’s like I’m there all over again, losing the one man I love more than anything. His face, terrified and desperate, flashes before my eyes. I want to reach out for him, to comfort him, but I know I can’t. He’s dead.

    I have to leave. I’ll explain to Laurel later that I couldn’t be here. I couldn’t be in this place that reeks of death and heartbreak. Linden’s voice rings in my ears, telling me he loves me; he’ll marry me; he won’t leave me. I’m sure my heart is going to explode any second as it pounds away in my chest. Just as I turn to leave, I feel a hand on my arm. I jump and wrench my arm away from the grasp of the peacekeeper that’s trying to pull me away from Linden again.

Hopefully it will be out next week. And yes I’ll also be working on updating TGD7. Sorry I got sidetracked!

I don’t feel like they’d name them after someone like Finnick and Prim but I’m not set on the names I’ve been working with. I’m just fishing for some ideas and thought you all might be able to help. If you have any suggestions, throw them at my ask box and I’ll give you a high five!

I don’t really think they would name them after Finnick, Prim, Johanna, etc. but I’m not positive if I like the names I’ve been working with. Could you throw some suggestions in my ask? I’ll give you a cookie!

Sorry for the wait! But Part 30 of TGD7, Muddled Questions, is up!

Excerpt:

   ”What do you want?” He asks, clearly wanting to hear the words from my lips. “Camellia, tell me what you want.”

    “I don’t know.” I whisper with a sigh, “I don’t know what i want, Rowan. I don’t even know what i feel anymore. I’m just so confused. Everything reminds me of the Capitol- of the men there. I swore I would never do this again. Not after everything…” I trail off not wanting to continue on that train of thought. “I only know that I don’t want you to leave me alone.” I finish, watching his expression warily, waiting for him to decide it’s not worth it; that i’m too fucked up. He surprises me though, when his lips twitch up slightly at the corners and he takes a step towards me.
