The Hunger Games Appreciation Week: Day 4: Favorite Character: Gale Hawthorne
“We reach my door. 'Maybe he just sees me as I really am. I have to get some sleep.' Gale catches my arm before I can disappear. 'So that’s what you’re thinking now?' I shrug. 'Katniss, as your oldest friend, believe me when I say he’s not seeing you as you really are.' He kisses my cheek and goes." - Mockingjay, Chapter 17
My entry for the 2022 THG Season of Hope Fic Exchange. A Gelly fic.
Read on AO3 HERE
Synopsis: Delly has always wanted to be crowned District Twelve's Holiday Princess and ride on that New Year's day float. But she thinks she isn't pretty or thin enough. That's until Gale Hawthorne hears some girls making fun of her thunder thighs. He encourages her to sign up and helps her train to win the contest; in the process, they fall in love.
Panem in the World: Zeche Zollverein and Landschaftspark Duisburg
I’ve had this idea for a while, but with the prequel choosing the Duisburg area as the filming location for District 12, it popped back into my mind. Duisburg is at the heart of the German miner’s area. While its many mining locations have since been abandoned, they have become an attraction for tourists to discover history or attend music festivals.
Duisburg’s areas of the past have seen nature return. Its intermix with living plants and dead steel remind me of the nature creeping around and within District 12. The plants growing by the train station that rarely sees trains. The fields outside of the fence where nature is ever-present. District 12 always felt old to me, not abandoned but certainly not cared for by government funding. It’s a place smelling of rust and old wood, and Duisburg’s old mining locations reflect that.

do you have any recommendations of everlark fics from gales pov?
ahhhh 😭 i don’t have a lot ngl but i found these ones:
Intimate Bystander by burkygirl (2k, rated T)
Summary: Katniss said it was just for the cameras. Gale believed her until he discovered she screams for Peeta in the night. In the days before the Quarter Quell, Gale finds out there’s more to Katniss’s relationship with Peeta than she’s led him to believe. In-Panem, mostly Canon. Everlark Fic Exchange, Springtime Edition, Prompt 1 – Gale walks in on/eavesdrops/overhears Everlark being intimate.
decisions (the ones you didn’t make) by sakurayouko (2k, rated M)
Summary: It was a tale as old as time. Two names were called at the annual reaping. One was your best friend’s sister. Your best friend volunteered on the spot. The other was Peeta Mellark, the boy she’d eventually fall for, but you didn’t lift a finger when his name was called. And everything went to hell from there.
-> this one’s less everlark and more of a gale character study but there aren’t many gale pov fics anyway sorry
i don’t have much else but here’s a link to the pov gale hawthorne tag filtered with everlark (and other things). if there are more than these and they’re untagged PLEASE send it
Summary: Peeta has a problem in the form of one Gale Hawthorne. He wants to propose to Katniss during the Christmas Carol play, but there are Muppets everywhere, and Gale has come back into their lives like the Ghost of Christmas Past. Will Peeta ever get Katniss alone to propose?
Rated T:
Chapter Summary: As the play comes to an end and Scrooge recants and vows to live a better life things back stage are not to great. Poor Peeta still hasn't proposed, and is going through a rough time. He has to confront Gale and Katniss, with out losing control. What will happen as the Muppet driven Christmas Carol comes to a close. Find out in this last chapter!
This last chapter is for @wendywobbles who is an amazing person! today is what we call Los Tres Reye's Magos, i.e. where the 3 Kings of bring children in the Latin community's presents. It's the last of our Christmas celebrations. Felicidades a mi comundad hispana!
Special thanks to @norbertsmom my bestie who edited this while not feeling well. I heart you so much. Thank you to everyone who reclogged and gave this mad-capped Muppet story a chance. Love you all!
