What if instead of "my old self" Coriolanus had a different answer for the third person he killed that summer? Followed by a love story, because even psychopaths have someone out there for them. 

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.

Book One of the Timber Series. In the rugged woodlands of District 7, fate dramatically alters the lives of Hazel Marlowe and her younger brother when they are both selected during the reaping for the 15th Annual Hunger Games. The historic selection of siblings in the same games, quickly captivates the Capitol, drawing a morbid fascination from its citizens. Senator Coriolanus Snow, ambitious apprentice Gamemaker under the notorious Dr. Gaul, has his eyes set on the presidency. Determined to make this year's Games unforgettable, he sees a unique opportunity in Hazel's tragic story. As Hazel fights to protect her brother, she must also contend with Snow's mysterious behavior. It isn't long before she realizes that the Hunger Games isn't the only game being played. ~ The intensity of his scrutiny felt like a physical weight, pressing against her with an almost suffocating force. Then his piercing stare softened into a smile, one so well-crafted and timed it seemed nothing less than a rehearsed performance. She was walking a fine line by challenging a man who held her and her brother's fate in his elegantly gloved palms. With long strides, he closed the distance between them. His gloved hand took hers. The softness of his touch clashed violently with the dread coiling in her stomach. He leaned closer, the warmth of his breath against her ear contradicted the chill his presence invoked as he whispered, "Be careful, Miss Marlowe." ⚠️ This is a Hunger Games fanfiction after all, so it will definitely have moments of violence, death and possibly self harm. **This is a fan-created work inspired by Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games" series. All original characters and overarching story elements belong to their respective copyright holders. This fanfiction is a homage to the original works.

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.
