"Don't you know to run from predators, sweetheart?" he murmured. "They like the chase." Daphne Sage Baird had never believed her sister would return from the Hunger Games alive. No one was more grateful to be proven wrong. Lucy Gray's survival felt like a miracle, a mercy the world rarely offered. But miracles draw attention. The songbird had come home and in doing so, had drawn the eye of a predator. A snake that followed the music back to its source. Coriolanus could not help himself. He craved the hummingbird named Daphne Sage. Unlike her sister, Daphne had nowhere to run. No woods to vanish into. No willow to hollow herself inside. Lucy Gray would dissolve into mystery, Daphne Sage would be etched into history. Coriolanus Snow X fem OC

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.
