    Summary

    A rewriting of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes that would allow for Snow to not become a tyrannical dictator set on perpetuating child on child violence. Bear with me, this is certainly going to be angsty, but I think that it will all be worth it in the end. We all love a little suffering but not the complete destruction of someone's humanity!

    Summary

    I thought this year would be the end of it all, but it was just the beginning.

    •••••

    Losing everything to the Hunger Games leaves you stripped bare, inhuman and raw and feral in the most primal of ways. It is freeing to have nothing left to lose. The Capitol has made the mistake of thinking I value my life; they are wrong. I don’t care to live. I haven’t in quite some time.

    I have one foot in the grave already.

    There is nothing they can take from me. Perhaps that mindset will be my saving grace as I confront my destiny- the destiny I take into my hands and craft for myself. Death is only a new beginning, a sea of razor-sharp stones and crashing waves that I am ready to embrace.

    In the end, we all live to die.

    Finnick won’t like it. He will blame himself as he watches me fight and bleed and fade. But he’ll endure. He fears death too deeply to do anything but survive. He will have to look away as I confront my chaos.

    Summary

    “stop playing pretend,” he murmurs, voice like a knife against your throat. “you want something from me.”

    you lick your lips and watch as his gaze subconsciously trails down to your mouth. such a pretty mouth, bitten red to mimic the bold shades the likes of clemensia dovecote dons. such a lethal one.

    “let's work together, coriolanus snow.”

     

    or: your family has fallen from grace and you need the money from the plinth prize to survive. the catch? coriolanus snow needs it too. may the odds be in your favour.

    Summary

    As the last heir to the Plinth family, you're caught up in an arranged marriage with no one other than Coriolanus Snow. In a civilization that relies on power and survival, Strabo Plinth, for once, has obtained his ultimate desire - something that money can't buy - to secure his position within the Capital's commonwealth and establish the Plinth family as an influential figure in Panem.

    You've always dreamed of a life beyond societal expectations and political alliances, where you can make your own choices in life and love. On the other hand, Coriolanus Snow is a cold and calculated individual known for his ruthless nature and thirst for power.

    Tasked with redeeming the tarnished Plinth name after your brother Sejanus's death - you'll stop at nothing to ensure that you get the life you've yearned for and do not meet the same fate as your brother.
