Hidden beneath masks and glamours too intricate to unravel, the Sterling Nightingale's self bestowed mission is to smuggle prisoners out of the Capitol to District 13, much to President Snow's fury. He hunts the spy endlessly, only to be continuously outwitted. The reason? He is not looking in the right places. Silver Lamprey Cornelius is not your standard Victor, after all. Finnick has always seen Sil as a brainless fop with nothing but air floating around in her head. For a fellow Victor, she certainly doesn't act the part. He's never given her the time of day, until his fate gets entwined with hers and their President seems to think that it would be a good idea to change all of that. Almost overnight, Finnick and Sil go from being complete strangers to being wildly in love. Of course Finnick doesn't actually love her. He could never fall for an idiot like her... ...until he does, and suddenly he realizes that Silver Lamprey Cornelius is not the woman he always saw her as. She is so much more. Fate is a strange mistress, and it seems that he is about to be swept up in its storm. Finnick/OC pairing. Scarlet Pimpernel inspired.

Look, I didn't know I was a witch. I didn't know that the Harry Potter world was real. I didn't know that I possessed powers Voldemort wanted. All my life I thought Harry Potter was a children's book series and Harry was a brave guy with a scar and Dumbledore was a complicated person and Hermione was a know-it-all and Draco didn't have a choice and Ron was our king and Voldemort was a bald, noseless guy hungry for power. I didn't know that somewhere in the universe, alongside normal muggle life, it was actually happening. So naturally when Rubeus Hagrid hands me my letter of Third year, my reply was, "Are you kidding me?" But he was not. Then somehow I was time travelled back to 1994 and I started changing the foretold. Because, after all, I was the Girl of the second prophecy. I was meant to stop the war. 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙈𝘼𝙄𝙉 𝙎𝙏𝙊𝙍𝙔

To epitomize the world in which we live, we must first step back and remember that we are flawed. But to understand the world in which we live, we must recognize that man realizes just this: the good exploit the flaws and the wicked jeopardize their existence by playing man against perception and ultimately losing themselves to Fate. "If I have learned anything in this extraordinary existence, it's that only humans have the potential to be utter perfection." ...Gabrielle Baelish is the melody of the birds and tune of the bards, the most beautiful woman to ever live and the most wicked witch to take breath. But "wicked" is a two-edged sword, where she is a traitor to some and savior to others. She is the light that reveals the flaws of all people, the shadow-caster of perfection in every facial crevice. She is the flame that lights the way, the chance of redemption for all forbearers' children... "You and I are the same, Jon Snow: just one step behind perfection and deeply engrossed in sin." //////////////////////////////////////// GAME OF THRONES, SEASONS 1-8 DISCLAIMER: I do not own Game of Thrones or A Song of Ice and Fire.
