You're in your senior year at the Academy when Doctor Gaul decides alongside her gamemakers that the mentorship program should be reinstated. You're tasked with making the Capitol fall in love with your tribute during the 15th Annual Hunger Games. After your tribute claims victory, as well as captures the hearts of the Capitol and your own, Professor Gaul calls you into her office. She's seen your promise as a student and invites you to take on an internship underneath her. The catch is you just work closely with Coriolanus Snow, one of her newest apprentice gamemakers. Something about him upon first glance forms a deep pit inside your stomach; there's something off about that man. While the intention to put you alongside him was to help advance your studies, it's clear he has something else in mind. He wasn't lying when he said, "I'll teach you everything." Set 5 years after the events in "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes." Story is for mature audiences only. *WARNING: SMUT* *WARNING: Coriolanus Snow is a manipulative man!* DISCLAIMER: I do not own these characters, outside of OC's, nor anything to do with the Hunger Games universe. I will try my best to follow the original plot but there's a lot of gaps that need to be filled.

Victoria Rudd, or "Snake" as she was coined by the Capitol, the victor of the 72nd Hunger Games. She is from 11 and she is to be a mentor for the 74th games. Snake of course is reluctant to do so, because of her near ending fear of the arena. She can't even bare to watch reruns of her own games. Yet something (or someone) keeps drawing her back to the Capitol. Maybe it's the food, or maybe it's the people there. Weird things always have interested her. She herself couldn't believe that it would be because of a certain blue eyed head game maker.

The origin of the Capitol's most prestigious game maker, Seneca Crane , has always remained a mystery, until now. © Copyright 2014

𝗜𝗡 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗖𝗛 𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡 𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗦𝗡𝗢𝗪 ──────────── Coriolanus Snow is a cold and conniving individual, Valentina Hartwick is subtle and cunning. The pair would never admit how similar they were, to one another they were extremely different. In fact, they'd both prefer to have no interaction with the other but their mutual friend - Sejanus Plinth - would make that increasingly difficult. Both perfect in the eyes of the Capitol, every step they take being a calculated manoeuvre... until snow began to fall with a pour of rain. ──────────── Rated mature: Violence, death, addiction, mental health, mature language and sexual themes.
