It's only been a few days since the Twentieth Hunger Games declared its victor but preparations for the twenty-first are already underway. Not only is Coriolanus Snow is in charge⎯officially in charge⎯he is all anyone in the Capitol can talk about. Heir to a giant munitions empire, one of Panem's brightest, up and coming talents, slated to become the youngest Lieutenant General in the history of the national military, he is the most eligible bachelor in town. Everyone wants a piece of him, and it's not just the ladies. Coriolanus basks in every minute of it. He is having the time of his life. Until one night, he seems to have seen a ghost. A ghost of his past⎯the ghost of his past. With her dark hair wound atop her head, a wreath of flowers decorating the braids, an orange scarf knotted artfully around her neck, and her rainbow of a dress... It can't be, Coriolanus tells himself as he watches her waltz through his dining room full of guests. It has been ten years since he'd seen her, ten years since that fateful day by the lake and in the forest, ten years since she'd sung and he'd fired his gun, and it simply cannot be... Snow lands on top...doesn't it? *** Lilith Gold is a senior at the University, where a highly-coveted Gamemaker apprenticeship is up for grabs. It is her best friend's dream; her best friend who is the strongest contender, who is unequivocally and unreservedly deserving of it. When the award does not go as the entire world expects, Lilith is forced into uncharted terrority where her values come into conflict. As she struggles to balance friendship and duty, to navigate this alien terrain, she must remember to tread carefully, lest she falls...in love. CORIOLANUS SNOW X FEM!OC BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND

UPDATED VERSION can be found on my page under the same name, Mongoose! IN WHICH Coriolanus Snow has finally elevated to the station of Gamemaker, but Soma Plinth refuses to let him bury the deeds of his past, even if it means drowning herself along with him. Whatever beautiful, ugly thing the had in the past can go to hell.

IN WHICH Coriolanus and Rose were friends, a long time ago, before life has made them into the heinous, desperate and sinful creatures that they are now. Now, he's on the track to rule all of Panem and she is an outcast. Locked in district's military bases for most of her life, disallowed an entry into society and unable to create personal collections, if Rose were to die, she's fairly certain no one would lay a flower on her grave. The issue of her father's heritage made her a nuisance. If not for her mother's Capitol blood, she'd be hanged or imprisoned. Instead, after her father's trial and subsequent execution, she was raised under Capitol's tutelage. Now, having spend years of "paying her dues" in the districts, she is finally admitted to the University. A chance is put before her: prove her worth as a Panem citizen, or stay a nobody. But the proposition is more of a trap than an opportunity and when Coriolanus Snow, the one good memory from her childhood, appears in the halls, memories of her past sins start to bother more than ever. Coriolanus, despite his recently gained status and power, cannot seem to forget the events of last spring that haunt his dreams, either. A murderer and a killer, childhood friends, and two players in a game bigger than themselves - or, perhaps, simply two people who, more than anything, long for someone to tell them they're not alone.

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.
