1. I like how the characters' gender roles are reversed. Female characters with traditionally masculine traits, like Katniss' hunting and fighting skills and her emotional distance, have become increasingly common, but these women are normally paired with even madami masculine men. Peeta, on the other hand, has traditionally female traits like being madami emotionally aware, having soft skills like baking and art and public speaking, and being in danger throughout a large part of the series.
2. I also like the different take on feigned pag-ibig becoming real. Every other example I've seen of this involves pretending to pag-ibig an enemy to get close enough to harm them.
3. Both Peeta and Katniss have survived the Hunger Games and can understand the effect of enduring that experience has had on the other.
4. Even though on the surface they appear to be a Capitol-created pairing, they are also a couple of rebellion - Katniss' iconic moment of rebellion was partly motivated sa pamamagitan ng wanting to save Peeta's life.

6. Peeta gave Katniss the tinapay which saved her and her family from starvation, taking a beating for burning it in order to obtain the opportunity to do so.
7. He was also indirectly responsible for her realising she could provide for her family through hunting and gathering. Katniss noticed a dandelion when she saw Peeta watching her the following day, which reminded her of her father teaching her about edible plants.
8. Katniss' immediate reaction when Peeta was Reaped was to think "oh, no, not him". She didn't want him to die or to be in competition with him for survival.
9. Peeta and Katniss holding hands during the Tribute Parade, and Katniss halik his cheek afterwards when he compliments her.
10. Peeta covering for Katniss when she recognised the Avox woman serving them.
11. Both Peeta and Katniss pointing out each other's strengths to Haymitch: Peeta detailing Katniss' skill with a bow and Katniss mentioning Peeta's physical strength and wrestling success.
12. "She has no idea. The effect she can have."
13. Peeta and Katniss both encouraging the other before their private training assessments.
14. Peeta confessing his long-running crush on Katniss during his interview - "because... she came here with me."
15. Peeta and Katniss' rooftop conversation before the Games.

27. Their first conscious, non-feverish kiss, which makes Katniss want another.
28. Peeta telling Katniss the story of how he first noticed her and began falling for her.
29. Katniss' fear when she loses communication with Peeta and her anger when she learns that he didn't stay in range.

77. Katniss remembering the "stay with me" "always" moment.
78. Peeta asking to see Katniss and remembering about the bread.
79. Katniss taking the pearl with her as a token when going to the Capitol.
80. Katniss trying to help Peeta deal with his hijacking - "You're a painter. You're a baker. You like to sleep with the windows open. You never take sugar in your tea. And you always double-knot your shoelaces".

95. Even though Gale wasn't knowingly involved in Prim's death, and never would harm her deliberately, the fact remains that he did play a role in designing the bombing trap which killed her.

96. I don't think Gale could easily forgive himself for his role in Prim's death either, and a relationship with her sister would be a lifelong reminder.
97. I don't like how Gale's character develops through the series. He crosses some lines with the snares or traps he develops - threatening children to target their parents, using segundo explosions to harm healthcare workers. He's too willing to stoop to the same level as their enemies.
