If you don't know authoresskika then kindly please leave the room. Lol kidding. I don't really know how to craft a decent synopsis and review of ATPM without gushing and wrecking my keyboard. This fic is just too good it's easily considered a classic fic of everlark.
It follows an in Panem AU where Peeta becomes the president and hired Katniss to be the personal bodyguard of his family (*wink). Peeta battles between his loyalty to his constituency and his personal endeavors. This internal fights lead to catastrophes with Katniss in it. Like him, Katniss parallels tribulations on staying loyal to her oath and her growing feelings for Peeta.
Oh god, the things I'd do to have a minute conversation with baronesskika. The way she set the tone and the pacing of this story, the dialogues, and the essence of Peeta's family is really captured so beautifully. And oh, the politics of canon is also established here and only deepened with Peeta's descent to political power. This story is a nice treat and is one of the few president/bodyguard trope of everlark if you're interested in those.
P.S. Peeta in suits. period.
P.P.S. This post is also to pay homage to the author. We love you, baronesskika! Always!

Kristin has a second novel that needs more exposure too! This is a lovely story and close to my heart since I did some early editing work on it with her.

Once, Kika advised me to troll Trump on Twitter until he blocked me, and I still think of that every single time I see his twitter account. We didnât interact a whole lot, but when we did, it was clear she was a kind soul. Such a devastating loss for this community. Itâs so hard to lose one of our own, especially when they were so young and this was so unexpected. May she Rest In Peace, and my prayers go out to her in this awful time. This is truly heartbreaking news.
Iâve been MIA forever, sorry. Iâm fine, just very, very busy. And who knows if Iâll ever find the time to finish my WIPs - probably not. But I thought Iâd pop in and say hi anyway, and recommend one of my favorite Everlark fics ever: 26.2 by the very talented authoresskika.
I have to confess that it took me at least 15 pages to understand why itâs called 26.2 đ (metric system, anyone? đ), but trust me - this is a fic everyone in the fandom should read. â¤ď¸

My personal favorite is a 1600 word one shot that she wrote for PiP holiday round. I like to read it each December. It's a poetic, dreamy slice of Post MJ life with toastbabies. It's oozing with warmth and truly captures her talent. There's an aspect that I relate to on a personal level and I really appreciate that. After reading the last post she had made I came to understand that there was a thread of connection we shared as parents. I'm grateful she shared her stories with us and encourage anyone who is able to, to purchase a copy of her book The Fix.

I deleted my old tumblr years ago after being bullied off this hellsite, and just thought I'd look up some of the old blogs I used to follow, back when I was a very active part of the THG and specifically Everlark fandom.
Pretty much the first post I came across was a memorial for a favourite writer and friend. I had absolutely no idea she had passed and I just... I am so sorry. We were pregnant at pretty much the same time, and I'm looking at my little boy, crying my eyes out for your little girl and husband.
Kristin, I'm so so sorry I've only just heard this terrible news. You were such an amazing person. If anyone knows of a charity or anything that she supported, I would very much like to make a donation in her name
Today is the first anniversary of the passing of one of THGâs most loved writers,  AuthoressKika.
In her memory, Iâd like recommend one of my favourite stories of hers to any old or new members of the fandom to re-read, or discover for the first time.
Thinking of her husband, daughter and all her family today too.
Newly married, Katniss and Peeta honeymoon in a remote cabin where no one can hear how happy they make each other. When an unexpected thunderstorm forces them inside for the day, Katniss suggests filling the time with a game of Scrabble. She decides to get a little creative with her spelling when thereâs only one K tile.
Written for @promptsinpanemâs 15 Days to Finish Your Fic (For Kika) event
Rating: E
Authorâs note: Back in July 2014, I was dreading a family event, but I was distracted by a wonderful giftâa sexy story sent through anon asks. When I shared my delight over the kind gesture with @authoresskika, she admitted sheâd written it for me. Itâs a wonderful example of Kikaâs generosity and caring nature that she took her time to make my day better with her writing. As I struggled to decide what to write for this challenge, I remembered her story and decided to draft its prequel. While this can stand on its own, I suggest you read her story first.
Farewell, Kika! There really is only one you.
______________
âIâm gonna come,â Katniss pants, her voice rising with every word. âPeeta, Iâm gonna come.â
 Her husband doesnât answer. His eyes are closed, head thrown back as he thrusts upward to meet the frantic rocking of her hips. His jaw flexes and so do his pecs as she bounces up and down on his cock. His fingers dig into her hips, helping guide her as she rides him. Curls are plastered to his forehead with sweat, and she tosses her head impatiently as her long hair sticks to her neck and face. She should have left it in a braid, but Peeta had unraveled it with such tenderness the night before she hadnât wanted to protest at the time.
 His voice is wrecked when he groans her name. With great effort, he blinks his eyes open to catch her gaze, and electricity shoots through her at the intimacy. His skin, slick with sweat, glistens in the beams of light streaming through the window. His hips slide against her inner thighs, and she canât help but thrill at the power in his muscular frame. A rhythmic smack of the headboard against the wall matches that of their bodies pounding against each other. Both ring in her ears. Itâs erotic and dirty and so, so good.
 Heat pools in her stomach, and she gasps for breath. He guides her fingers to her clit and joins her with varied speeds and concentric circles. Captivated by the way the tip of his tongue peeks between his plump pink lips, she matches it with her own. Hers feel swollen from the amount of use theyâve gotten over the past few days, but thatâs to be expected. They are on their honeymoon, after all.
 âPeeta. Oh! Yeah. Yeah! Yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhh.â The third iteration slurs into a heated groan as her body tips over the edge into climax. Climaxes. So many climaxes in the past few days, and they just keep getting better.
 âDonât stop,â he grunts through gritted teeth when she slows. âDonât you dare stop.â
 Breathless, she whines, âI canâtâ Iââ
 He pushes himself to sitting and pulls her torso against his chest. Cradling her cheek in his palm, he kisses her fiercely before growling, âYou can.â
 And then sheâs moving again as he wraps her legs around his waist and tilts her back until the angle of his cock rubs her just the right way and makes her want to scream. Sheâs never understood the term power bottom, but she does now. Sheâs at his mercy as he fucks into her, his biceps bulging, bending her back and biting her nipples. A shout rips from her, unbidden when his teeth clench a little too hard.
 Peeta stiffens beneath her and releases. Shouts and moans and curses and squelches and slapping skin and a million other sounds fill the room. She writhes against him and then crests again. He strokes her through it until they collapse into a tangle of limbs. Unable to move, she floats, euphoric and detached, and enjoys the afterglow.
 Itâs a while before either of them is coherent. Peeta nuzzles her neck with open-mouthed kisses and little nibbles that occasionally have the sting of a full bite. His hands roam her bare skin, and sheâs loath to move. Not when heâs still inside her, cradling her to his chest. Her new husband, Peeta Mellark, the love of her life.
 Eventually, she has to shift. Stretching, she grimaces at the feel of him slipping from her. Fluid trickles down her inner thigh as she pulls off to roll onto her side. He palms her, sliding his fingers in their combined ejaculate. He paints her stomach with the moisture before licking his fingers clean. Itâs so lewd, she squirms to the far side of the bed. She needs a break before another round, and what heâs doing is a definite turn on in spite of her fatigue.
 âGood morning,â he murmurs and rolls over to slide back against her. âThat was quite a wakeup call.
 âIâm so gross,â she complains and pushes at his hand, but he continues to run his fingers through the wetness.
 âI donât think youâre gross. In fact, I think youâre just right. Covered in my come. It sliding out of you and down your legs. All waxed and smooth except for that sexy little runway strip thatâs soaking wet. Open for me but tight inside. Clenching around me. Milking me dry.â
 The words melt like warm butter and run down her spine until sheâs puddled against him, desperate for his touch, but way too oversensitive. He dips his hand between her legs again and rubs featherlight circles on her sensitive skin. His tongue traces her neck and jawline until she whimpers and jerks away from him.
 âYou know,â she grumbles, âwhen we agreed on a remote cabin in a national park for our honeymoon, I kind of thought we might actually see some of the scenery.â
 He chuckles as his mouth closes over her nipple. âThat was silly,â he chided. âMy plan was always to get you naked and keep you that way as long as possible.â
 âMission accomplished.â
 âNot if youâre planning to put on clothes.â
 âPeeta, I need a shower.â
 âNo. No shower.â
 âIâm filthy,â she insists, even though her resolve weakens by the second.
 âIâll clean you up.â
 âWhat do youââ
 She cuts off in a strangled groan as he slides down her body and buries his face in her pussy. He sucks and licks, alternating fast flicks of his tongue with long, slow sucks of her clit into his mouth. She gives in, losing herself to the feel of him burrowing against her and his tongue plunging inside deeper and deeper. Sheâs made entirely of sensation. There are no thoughts, no cares in the world, nothing outside of this moment and her husband making love to her in every conceivable way.
 Peetaâs a wonderful loverâconsiderate, passionate, flexible, sculpted, and generous. Sheâs luckier than she deserves, but sheâs enormously grateful he chose her. Since she opened her heart, sheâs never doubted that sheâs always been it for him since the moment he saw her. It took her longer to fall in love, but that doesnât mean her fervor is any less real. She feels more like herself when sheâs with him than any other time. Sex with him could inspire sonnets if she had the same gift of words he does.
 She wrings herself out on him multiple times over the next several hours. Heâs insatiable, and sheâs powerless to resist him. They stumble to the kitchen for sustenance and end up sprawled on the table. He presses her to the wall in the shower and bends her over the couch when they try to watch a movie. Later, in bed, she rolls over to face him, so exhausted her eyelids droop and her words slur.
 âGotta go outside house âmorrow,â she insists, both drunk and high on endorphins. A lazy smile spreads across his handsome face at her garbled speech, but she forces out her rationale. âCanât do marathon day of sex. Need fresh air. Outdoors. Grass. Trees. Sky. Sunsets. Stars.â
 âIâll make you see stars,â he teases and kisses the tip of her nose.
 ââM serious,â she hums. Blinking her eyes rapidly at him in an over-exaggerated attempt at flirting (at least she thinks she is), she begs, âTake me out, Peeta. See the world thingy.â
 His lips meet hers in a soft kiss. âWhatever you want. Iâm yours, you know. To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, inside and outside.â
 âDonât âmember that part oâ the vows,â she argues sleepily.
 âYou were probably distracted by my good looks.â
 âMaybe,â she sighs and sinks into the mattress. âTâmorrow. Outside. No sexing. Tired.â
 âWell, Iâll let you in on a secret,â he whispers in her ear.
 âHmmm?â
 âRemember, weâre madly in love, so itâs alright to kiss me anytime you feel like it.â
 A tired giggle bursts from her, and she manages to ask, âAnytime?â She drifts into darkness as his answer drops from his lips.
 Itâs still dark when she opens her eyes.
 Katniss blinks awake as a rumble of thunder shakes the cabin. Itâs dark as midnight. Peeta snuffles softly in his sleep, his even breathing a salve to being shaken from her slumber. She slips from under her husbandâs arm and stumbles to the bathroom, so she can pop her birth control pill and rinse her mouth with mouthwash. A flash of lightning startles her, and she hurries back to the bed and tugs the sheets back over her. Cuddling into Peetaâs warm body, she tenses when he pokes against her. It must be morning, because thereâs a lot of wood. Struck with inspiration, she flips the sheet to the other side of the bed and grabs the bottle of lube off the nightstand. Slicking up her palm, she grasps him and pumps.
 He grunts and rolls onto his back, inadvertently giving her better access. She rubs her thumb over the head and squeezes as she pumps. His sleepy response melts her heart. His hips twitch until heâs fucking into her hand and releasing desperate noises that sound remarkably like begging.
 She rains kisses over his face and murmurs against his lips, âPeeta, are you awake?â
 His answer is a broken sob and thrusting hips. Determined to make him feel even better, she leans down and takes him in her mouth. His breath catches and then rips from him. She sucks in her cheeks and catches her front teeth on his slit. Bobbing her head, she slobbers until her spit covers him and runs over her fist.
 âSweetheart. Oh, fuck!â
 And then heâs coming, his cock pulsing in her mouth and his come spurting against the back of her throat. Heâs bitter on her taste buds, but she slurps greedily, intent on lapping up everything he gives her. He whines high in the back of his throat until he softens with a sated groan.
 âGood morning,â she says with a satisfied smirk. âSleep well?â
 âMmmm,â he agrees with a dopey grin. âWoke up better. Thought you wanted a sex break today. You didnât need to get me off to get me up.â
 âJust seemed like the right thing to do.â
 âSweetheart, you know I lean leftâboth politically and anatomically,â he teases and leans in for a kiss. It turns obscene so quickly her head spins. Only a particularly loud clash of thunder and burst of lightning snaps them apart. Sheâs still catching her breath when the rain starts, softly at first and then opening into a torrential downpour.
 âWe were supposed to go outside today!â she wails.
 âAh, honey,â he teases, a twinkle belying his insincerity. âLooks like the good Lord wants us to stay naked and have more sex.â
 âPretty sure the good Lord wants us to get dressed and play Scrabble.â
 Peeta snorts before falling onto his back and shaking with laughter. When heâs finally able to breathe, he runs his fingers through his messy curls and acquiesces.
 âI like my plan better, but Iâll play Scrabble if you want to.â
 Katniss squeals and smacks away his hand that had managed to find its way to her breasts. Shaking her head, she stipulates, âBreakfast first, lover boy, and then board games. Weâve burned so many calories the past few days, Iâve lost a clothing size. I mean, I really like sexing you up, but damn. I need the break.â
 Peeta grins at her and leans up to kiss the tip of her nose. âFine. Iâll keep my hands to myself, but the second you say the word, Iâm gonna be inside you again so fastâŚâ
 âKinky,â she laughs as she rolls to her feet. âIâm gonna shower. Do not follow me with your erection. Iâll only disappoint it.â
 âKika? Whatâs that?â
 âI said, âkinky,â weirdo.â
 âCalling me names doesnât make me any less horny!â he hollers after her as she shuts the door and steps under the warm spray.
 She takes her time, soaping her hair and body with a lovesick grin on her face. She still has trouble accepting that Peeta adores her as much as he does. He was the only man she knew patient enough to wait for her to work through her reluctance to be intimate with anyone after her father died, and his constant kindness and willingness to be whatever she needed during high school and college had finally won her over. Now, almost thirty and newly married, sheâs happier than sheâs ever been. Even so, it still takes an inordinate amount of effort to push back the nagging thoughts that she doesnât deserve any of it.
 âHe loves me,â she insists to the empty room, âand I love him. I deserve to be happy.â
 âBreakfastâs ready. Come and get it. Dress is optional,â Peeta calls through the closed door.
 âComing!â
 She switches off the water and quickly plaits her hair into a wet braid. She hesitates for only a second before tossing her towel onto a rack and walking into the kitchen completely naked. His back is to her when she enters, so she crowds up to him and wraps her arms around his waist.
 âSmells good,â she murmurs into his warm skin. âThanks for cooking.â
 He turns to wrap his arm around her shoulder and tug her to his side and freezes. His eyes widen, and his eyes follow a trickle of water that escapes the tip of her braid and glistens on her breast.
 âYou clean up nice,â he coughs. âCoffee?â
 Peeta keeps his word and lets her eat. He watches her as she arches her back and crosses and uncrosses her legs repeatedly. Pancakes have never been so sexy as she makes a show of enjoying every bite of fluffy goodness, and if she allows a sticky bit of syrup to cling to her lips so she can lick it off with the very tip of her tongue, well, thatâs just payback for him sexing her up so hard she needs a lot of food to recover. By the time she finishes, Peetaâs given up all pretense of eating and is openly leering at her. He adjusts himself as she sips the last little bit of her coffee and appraises him.
 âScrabble?â
 âI can think of better things to do.â
 âWell, yes, Iâm sure you can, but you promised me board games, darling husband. Itâs time.â
 âOh, come on,â he protests, but she rises and waltzes to the couch. She exaggerates the swing of her hips just to torment him a little more.
 âPeeta Mellark, weâve done it on every surface of this cabin. Iâd like to beat your butt in word games, now, please.â
 âWhat about the car? We havenât done it there yet.â
 âCar sex? Really? That sounds so uncomfortable.â
 âNot if you do it right,â he grumbles and runs his hand down her side and along her flank.
 âIt would take a lot to get me in the mood in a car.â
 âWell, thatâs not going to stop me from trying.â
 âYouâre incorrigible. Doesnât your sex drive ever take a rest? Come on. Help me set up.â
 âYouâre just going to sit there naked and distract me so you can win, arenât you?â
 âObviously.â
 âCompletely unfair,â he grumbles as he grabs tiles and arranges them in a row.
 âSo whiny. Remind me why I love you,â she teases, her smirk widening at his pout.
 âFor my largeâŚvocabulary.â
 âOh, thatâs what weâre calling it now?â
 âShhh,â he hisses and places his first word.
 They play back and forth for a while, and she accumulates more and more points. When she draws a K and Y to add to her tiles, she decides her hundred-point lead is enough. Besides, itâs weird playing scrabble naked when her husbandâs sporting a stiffy in his pajama pants.
 Peeta furrows his brow as he examines her play. âK-I-N-C-Y? Uh, challenge. Thatâs not a real word.â
 She curses the board game for limiting the tiles to only one K. How else is she supposed to get her point across subtly?
 âItâs hard.â
 He flushes and presses his palm to his crotch. âYouâre naked! Itâs not my fault,â he protests. âYou canât expect me to concentrate when youâre sitting there like that.â He waves his hand at her, and she grins.
 âI meant, the C.â
 âWhat?â
 âRead the word with a hard C.â
 Confused, he looks at it again and experiments with different pronunciations. âKen-see? Kin-sigh? Kinâ I donât get it.â
 âRead it like a K.â
 âKinky? Oh⌠Thatâs not how you spell it, though.â
 âTrue, but thereâs only one K in Scrabble, and thatâs my word.â
 âYour word?â
 Katniss sighs heavily. If she didnât know how hard heâd been trying to get her back into bed, sheâd swear he was being deliberately obtuse. Standing, she crosses to Peeta and straddles his lap before leaning in and whispering in his ear, âYou told me the second I said the word youâd be inside me again. Youâre late. A lot of seconds have passed. Kinky was my word, remember?â
 She yelps as he shoves her onto the coffee table. Scrabble tiles press into her back as he shucks his pants. Heâs on her in seconds, his mouth devouring hers as he opens her with probing fingers and searing kisses. When they finish, her husband traces a message on her chest and then spells it out with tiles. There are plenty of tiles to spell âI love you.â
