Everlark

Everlark is the het ship between Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark from The Hunger Games fandom.

History
Peeta had had a crush on Katniss since the age of 5, when his father point her out and mentioned that he had wanted to marry her mother, but her mother ran off with a coal miner. At school, as Peeta describes, during the music assembly, the teacher asked who knew the valley song, and Katniss shot her hand up and sang it for the rest of the class. Right when the song ended, Peeta knew at that moment — he was a goner. Peeta tried to reach out to Katniss for 11 years, without success.

Epilogue
Katniss and Peeta have two children at the end of Mockingjay. The older child is a girl who has Peeta's blue eyes and Katniss's dark hair, and the younger child is a boy who has Peeta's blond hair and Katniss's grey eyes.

Fanon
Everlark is the most popular ship in The Hunger Games fandom. Its biggest rival ship is Everthorne (Katniss Everdeen and Gale Hawthorne). Most people prefer Everlark over Everthorne since Everlark is canon in the end. Sometimes the Everlark shippers are called Team Peeta. There are also people who dislike the idea of Team Peeta and Team Gale because the love triangle is not the main point in The Hunger Games and also because it is too similar to the idea of Team Edward and Team Jacob of Twilight.
