ONE SHOT | The Hunger Games were never more than an idea on paper, yet the children of the districts struggled. Being born outside of the Capitol was a life sentence of misery-except for Lucy Gray, who found beauty and melodies all around her. The artist enchanted crowds and found her way to the big city, where her path crossed with Coriolanus Snow, a man destined for great things at any cost.

Two years later, a knock on Lucy Gray's door and a final request from his heart might rewrite their ending. Could rotten things still be worth loving? -- Available on AO3.
