Why this must be read: Peeta's mother is a fairly prominent character in THG fan fiction. In this story set after the Victor Tour in Catching Fire but before the Quarter Quell announcement, Peeta and his mother share a moment that could almost be described as a rare moment of tenderness between the two of them…almost.



"Oh," his mother says, entering the room with a tray of cookies. "I wasn’t expecting you today."

She sets the tray on the table. They’re the butter cookies the tailor loves, so it must be a special order. “Do you need me to make more?” he offers. He’s desperate, absolutely desperate, for something to help pass the time. He can’t stand another second of the taunting quiet of his house in Victor’s Village (Haymitch, the only one who seems able to tolerate him these days, is probably still passed out in a pool of his own vomit, and there’s no one else).
