* The climax of the first book. Katniss and Peeta are the last two Tributes standing when the Game Makers sadistically revoke the rules change they made that would have allowed them to win together, meaning one of them has to kill the other. When Peeta tells Katniss to kill him, Katniss is so shocked and horrified that she tries to make him kill her instead. Her promise to Prim that she'd win, her promise to Rue that she'd win, her own desire to go home to her family- she forgets it ''all'' in an instant because she won't let Peeta die and go home without him. Even if she rationalises the stun with the nightlock berries as her way of defying the Capitol's cruelty, even if she doesn't realise it yet, she already loves Peeta- she'd rather die with him than kill him.

* Peeta Mellark is many times a walking, talking crowning moment saving Katniss as well as Prim and their mother from starvation in the flashback where he threw the burned bread to her instead of heartwarming.feeding it to the pig like his mother told him to. Katniss wonders if he'd burned the bread deliberately, even knowing [[AbusiveParents his mother would hurt him for it,]] so he could give it to her; she dismisses it as impossible since he'd have no reason to do that for her, but we know better.

* In ''Catching Fire'', when Peeta mentions that nobody really needs him, Katniss finally realizes that she cannot live without him. At this point you know that she loves him for real.

--> "No one really needs me,” he says, and there’s no self-pity in his voice. It’s true his family doesn’t need him. They will mourn him, as will a handful of friends. But they will get on. Even Haymitch, with the help of a lot of white liquor, will get on. I realize only one person will be damaged beyond repair if Peeta dies. Me.

** This one is a huge YMMV. Caesar is taking this love Katniss has for Prim, this one really pure thing in the book series, and turning it into a moment for the audience who will be screaming for Katniss's blood soon. That scene made my skin crawl.
* When it dawns on Katniss and Peeta that maybe, just maybe, they really will be able to go home again.
** Hell, any and all scenes in the cave count.

* YMMV on how


how heartwarming it is, but I think it's pretty cute how Effie has become kind of a doting mother or aunt-type figure to Katniss and Peeta in ''Catching Fire''. Especially seen when she tries to take them down to training, but Haymitch doesn't want them to look like they need a babysitter, so she just walks them to the elevator, fixes their hair, and ''pushes the button'' for them. I'm sure almost anyone who has a mother/guardian like that but isn't a little kid anymore can relate to the situation.
