[ Updates every Wednesday & Saturday ]
The blood has barely dried, the arena barely locked. 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?

CORIOLANUS SNOW X FEM!OC
BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES
THE HUNGER GAMES TRILOGY
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.
