Peeta fans, get on these two fics!1. Tinderbox by artemis_sparks
Summary: Somewhere someone is always screaming. Set during Mockingjay; Peeta in the Capitol.
Recommended because... The staccato narrative structure of Peeta being held hostage by the Capitol really communicates the drug-fueld, cruel and frightening ordeal. Artemis_sparks is a wonderful writer whose descriptive language will leave you breathless. Lines like "They'll all be dead soon, their blood is what waters the roses." help to set the fatalistic tone of this one-shot. Tinderbox is an excellent filler for those who wanted to know how Peeta felt during the months he has held hostage in Mockingjay. Awesome title, too.
2. The Empty Space Between Us by jairissa
Summary: They fell in love while a country was burning; it shouldn't be a surprise they find their way back to each other as a new one rises from the ashes.
Recommended because... Only the prologue is posted so far, but The Empty Space Between Us has me hooked. Jairissa does an amazing job of presenting Peeta before he returned to Katniss in Mockingjay; it's a Peeta who's sanity and mental stability you question. The characterisation of our favourite baker is wonderfully angry and hurt, still marred by the Capitol's torture and all that he's seen. I found this fic to be so refreshing because it was from Peeta's point of view, and because it doesn't follow the fanfiction trend of picking up where Peeta's 'all better' and tending to Katniss' garden. Keep an eye on this one.
