I never really picked a ship for the books (K/P or K/G) because I kind of enjoy both. And this was really nicely written.
My favorite line: "...Gale grabs her by the waist and leaves bruises on her hips and he secretly hopes that Peeta can taste him on her lips when she goes home that night."
Ouch. Gale never appeared very spiteful to me (in fact what I really enjoyed about him is that he and Peeta actually got on a bit or at least had this respectful alliance thing going on), so that really struck a cord.
Nice work, KC.
[Because I need to rant since I only recently finished the books. My heart really breaks for all 3 main characters at the end of the book. They are so messed up. Gale, most especially. I feel like Katniss and Peeta gravitated toward each other and they healed that way, but Gale... oh, God, Gale. He just sank deeper and deeper and the guilt he must feel and the pure anger and agitation and UGH. Feelings. Lots of feelings for all of them.]
