"Lucy Gray!"
His voice echoed through the forest along with the singing of the mockingjays which picked up her song. Catching her breath, Lucy Gray did her best to calm herself. Not that he'll find her anyway, this hiding spot has been proven and tested to hide her until she decides to go down from these trees. She watched Coriolanus lose his mind trying to look for her.
Clutching the scarf he gave her, the smell of roses strong as ever, she was having a hard time deciding what should be her next move. The scarf all but reminded her of the boy she trusted. The boy she loved. But their conversation moments ago made her question if she could still say the same. If she could still say she trusted him the same way she did in the arena.
How funny is it really. It seemed as though she got out of the arena just to find herself in a bigger one. Only this time, she was weighing if she could still trust the only person she counted on in terms of protecting her life.
----
Had things ended differently. Had they made another choice. How much would their fate change? Would their ballad still end as cold and lost as they were?

When Snow Falls Twice
Some ghosts don't stay buried. Especially the ones who sing. Lucy Gray Baird survived the deadly woods of District 12 - but not her memories. Lost in the northern mountains with no past to hold onto, all she has are haunting dreams and fleeting flashes of a boy with cold blue eyes. Coriolanus Snow believed she was gone forever, a secret safely buried beneath the lies that are slowly building his empire. But fate pulls them back together, reopening old wounds and forgotten truths. As their worlds collide, the lines between love and betrayal blur, and every choice could cost them everything. In a dangerous game of power and survival, the heart becomes the most fragile - and deadly.
What if Lucy Gray hadn't disappeared (English Version)
What if Lucy Gray had never disappeared? Would Coriolanus have become the monster we know? Would he have become like his father or would he have stopped the games with Highbottom to protect Lucy one more time? If you have any suggestions for improvement or discover errors, please let me know. Many thanks HailieComplete

His Mockingjay
In the woods of District Twelve, Coriolanus Snow raises his gun at Lucy Gray Baird - but the shot never comes. Torn between ambition and desire, he convinces himself it is love that stays his hand. For Lucy, it feels like a noose tightening. With the Mayor eager to pin Mayfair's death on her and her family's safety hanging in the balance, Snow offers her no choice but obedience. He has the power to shield her loved ones - or destroy them - and he uses it to keep her close. Dragged toward the Capitol under his control, Lucy must bend without breaking, caught between survival and the ache of betrayal. He believes he has saved her; she knows he has trapped her. Warning: This story contains themes of violence, drug use, rape/non-con, and abuse that may be disturbing to some readers. Reader discretion is advised.
We are the Beasts (Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes AU)
At the height of the Dark Days, Coriolanus Snow was suffering. He had no food, his parents were gone, and he was slowly freezing to death. Out of desperation and complete lack of food, Coriolanus and his cousin Tigress go out scavenging. While exploring a dark alleyway, they come across a young boy the same age as Coriolanus bent over a pallet, arms full of tomato soup cans. Wordlessly, he handed the rag-tag pair a couple of soup cans. The cousins wandered aimlessly for hours, disoriented by the cold and hunger. Unexpectedly they come across the boy from the alley, whose name they come to find is Rune. He leads them home, sparking a bond between him and Coriolanus. Rune soon comes to discover who Coriolanus really is, and who he will become, in order to gain power. NOTE* All characters EXCEPT Rune belong to Suzanne Collins
