It is a companion to the canon and completed it Feb 2021 and EDITED better June 2021. Still not fully edited, but I loved reading it again and again.

Still unfinished but I have been writing that series HBO! STARS! WHOEVER WANTS TO PICK UP THIS GENRE. lolAll Rights Reserved

Something about him upon first glance forms a deep pit inside your stomach; there's something off about that man.

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.
