Thank you so much @groceryreceipts for sending in this submission! These comments were posted to object permanence by orangecrancones, another wonderful fic submitted for May 2024 Comment Feast!

All ao3 authors truly love and appreciate every comment they receive, this is why we're trying to highlight them here, with Comment Feast! Hopefully, this encourages everyone to leave a comment on the next fic they read ❤️

Remember, the core of fandom interactions and general fandom fun is engagement with each other! Let's not let our beloved everlark spaces lose what we love most about them.

Now, back to this wonderful fic:

Summary: Forget being a lover. Ever since the Quarter Quell announcement, Peeta's dropped all pretense of even being Katniss' friend. It's been so long, in fact, that she can't remember if all those hugs and kisses were real or not. Because if they're not being given out whenever she'd like, did they even exist in the first place?

One of my favorite parts:

Peeta leaves briefly before hurrying back excitedly and saying, There’s a bear on the tracks! He takes my hand and begins dragging me toward the front of the train, but all I can think about is how weird his hand feels in mine. I have lots of experience with Peeta’s hands, but right now they feel almost foreign. We reach the front, and he points out a large brown bear lumbering on the tracks, lazily pawing at some green patches. I’ve seen enough bears during my time in the woods, but I realize that this must be the first time Peeta has seen one in person, so I decide to look at his face instead of the animal outside. He looks entranced as he watches on, and I squeeze his hand. It looks so sweet, he states. Not dangerous at all. I smile. Just don’t get between him and his food. You two have a lot in common, then, he replies with a laugh. I scoff in offense, let go of his hand, and cross my arms. Kidding! I’m kidding! Peeta tells me, and he kisses my cheek. It’s so light, I struggle to feel it.

here are some of my favourite comments! it's always a delight to hear what the readers are feeling, and to have my own lines quoted back is perhaps the highest of compliments🥺

thank you for organising this lovely event!

These wonderful comments were left on Wildflowers till the Snow by @typewriteringalaxy! Another wonderful submission for this round of Comment Feast.

my favourite bit:

I hand them to her and she just stands there, her brows furrowed as if fighting herself. "I missed you," she says at last in a quiet voice—not quite the one that lulled me in the cave, but rawer, with a hint of rasp to it. I so badly want to believe it's real. "I missed you, too."

Pictures!

Such an amazing event, thank you so much for organizing it!!

It was hard to pick, because every comment I’ve received makes me do a little happy dance! Kudos to all the lovely people who took the time to read my story and give feedback 🥰

The one I love the most is the one I got from @thesunpersists. It was the first one I got and there is just a certain type of magic to first comments on new works, the relief and excitement. I've read it a couple of times now and it still makes me happy. ❤️

(Ya'll are so nice! Thank you for participating!!)

My absolute favourite part:

Peeta scoots over, taking my hand. “So you like me?”

“Of course I do,” I scowl back.

“And you like to kiss me?”

He's grinning now and I feel the corners of my mouth twitch as the mood finally shifts. “Sometimes,” I say.

“Sometimes,” he echoes. “And… would you like to do it again?”

My eyes grow big. “You mean right now?!” That's not what I expected and perhaps too much of a change all at once.

“We don't have to, if you don't want it.”

But part of me is also curious to see how it might feel when it's just us. “Maybe… I don't know, just one kiss?”

(Screaming at the cuteness)
