That's really beautiful.

Thank you!

[electrumqueen]

this is so lovely! i'm so sorry about the delayed comment, life kind of ambushed me. but this is a really gorgeous look at gale, and at peeta too and their relationship as you've drawn it has left me gasping for air. what a perfect piece of writing.

thank you so much!

[bittereternity]

thank you! i'm so glad this worked for you. i wasn't sure how peeta and gale's relationship was going to come across, so i'm really glad you liked it.

<3

OMG WHAT IS THIS THIS IS SO PERFECT

“God, Gale,” he says, harsh and breathless like he’s just run a marathon. “I love you.” seriously, i think there's not nearly enough peeta/gale out there and this is so so lovely and totally in-character. & well, my heart is broken now!

[bittereternity]

thank you, that's incredibly kind of you to say! <3

yeah, i love peeta/gale and i was surprised to discover that not many people 'ship it. which is a pity, because they seem like such a perfect example of a tragic couple. i've been a fan ever since that one line where gale admitted that it's hard to hate peeta. what can i say, i take whatever i can get. :-p

thanks so much for reading!
