Summary
Canonically Coriolanus Snow chose power over his obsession with Lucy Gray. This fic looks at the journey of Lucy Gray coming home, reuniting with Coriolanus and how she fell for his possessive charm. He thinks he's in love, but his obsession with keeping Lucy Gray becomes dark. Different events lead up to the deaths of Billy Taupe and Mayfair. Coriolanus convinces Dr. Gaul to let him return to the Capitol with Lucy Gray. Will she (un)willingly cut her own wings and live a life she would grow to resent?
A mix of Cannon Divergence from TBOSBAS book and movie. Some lines pulled directly from both, I do not own The Hunger Games Series, all glory to Suzanne Collins. Please take note of the tags.
