Following the 24 new Tributes of the Eleventh Annual Hunger Games and the events leading up to its success.
Coriolanus Snow x Fem OC
-
Coriolanus Snow made it back to the Capitol after his summer gig at being a peacekeeper, with Lucy Gray leaving a Mockingjay sized hole in his heart. Back, and ready to make waves, he was ready to start shaping the Hunger Games in his vision, bringing prosperity back to Panem, with Snow landing on top of course.
Olivia Lumen, heir to the Lumen fortune, had been drafted to the new Gamemakers course in the University, a highly sought after spot only awarded to the best and brightest, the future leaders of Panem. But Olivia wasn't like other Capitol born kids, missing that silver spoon so many had in their mouths. She had that hunger, that grit, that edge that made her almost terrifying, someone who wasn't afraid to do what it took to prevent another rebellion. Someone who could make the Hunger Games great.
Had Snow finally met his match? When it feels like another rebellion may be on the rise, they find solace in sharing the same brutal ideas, connecting in a way neither of them expected. But of course, who can trust someone so hell bent on darkness? Or were they the perfect solution to this struggling country?
Because in the darkness, the Lumens always light the way.
The untold story of Livia Cardew, former first lady of Panem.
If you've been taught one way your entire life, if you've been brainwashed to believe the lies of high society, is it possible to see the truth? And how dangerous is it to know?
Livia Cardew was spoiled by attention and riches her entire young life. She learned that fame and fortune were the measure of someone's worth. She learned that love was based solely on these same factors. So what wasn't to love about Coriolanus Snow? Handsome, rich, and with the kind of good name her parents would approve of, he was perfect. When he started to give her attention, she couldn't resist. But she couldn't have predicted how grave a mistake she made. Torn between what she was always taught to be right and what she is coming to realize may be real love, she is blinded to the consequences of her actions. She learns too late the true nature of her husband and the price she'll pay for betraying him.
TW: child death, a main character starting with an extremely insensitive worldview who makes cruel comments that I in no way condone or agree with as the author, smut, alcohol references.
