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 First Lady
The first instalation in the story of Livia Cardew. When Livia enters her senior year at the University, a thoroughly cemented queen bee and president of her sorority, she doesn't expect her life to take such a drastic turn. Outside, she's a well brought up young debutante, known for her sharp tongue and independence. Inside, the gilded cage of her parents expectations seems to grow tighter every year. They raised her to be charming and to value nothing above wealth and family name. Her father raised her to seek validation, her mother raised her to please others, and she taught herself how to put on a front of stupidity and apathy over her internal insecurity, intelligence, and emotion. When Coriolanus Snow expresses interest in her, she sees him as an escape and an asset, secretly hoping he'll give her the unconditional love that she has never seen. Unfortunately, that was her first mistake.

Heroes and Villains: A Story by Isaac Heller:
"Heroes and Villains is close to my heart. It's been a passion project for longer than you would believe. I wrote it because I think folks are sick of heroes getting everything in these classic fairy tales. Hence, the radically different endings for Snow White, Prince Charming, and all the rest. Something different for a modern audience. What happens when villains win the day?" -- Isaac Heller, the author. The sixth book in the Dreams Series.

The Hymn of the Nightsong // Coriolanus Snow
"Coriolanus Snow swore off love until a raven flew into his arena and changed the game." - The Nightsong. They said ravens were the largest songbird, and the girl who carried its namesake had to live up to its powerful legacy. Raven Wingard had to prove she could sing with fire and tame the snakes that dared hiss. One in particular desired a path to power, swore never to love again, until a songbird sang once more. But unlike the one lost in gray, this one was loud, proud, and so much worse than the first because ravens didn't fade, they aroused. They called her the Nightsong, and her haunting hymns brought back memories to a snake who wished to forget his scars. He wasn't sure if he wanted to cage her, break her, or burn the world down to keep her voice alive. In Panem, new memories formed - some pure, others damned - in a world built on the ashes of fallen children and rebellion. Would their survival end with roses or nameless graves?
