Blood and Roses - Johanna Mason x Fem OC

Johanna Mason is a force to be reckoned with, but she's not about to let anyone know that just yet. The 71st Hunger Games begin like any other-chaotic, ruthless, and full of enemies. Johanna plays her part, hiding her talents, blending in, and letting the others think she's just another fragile tribute from District 7. But beneath the surface, she's biding her time, waiting for the moment when she can strike.

Azalia Cross, a former District 2 victor, is mentoring Johanna's biggest rival-the District 2 tribute. Known for her cold, calculated strategies, Azalia is a master at playing the Capitol's game, always staying two steps ahead. Her role in the Games is to ensure her tribute survives-at all costs. As Johanna watches Azalia from a distance, she can't help but feel a growing resentment for the icy mentor. The District 2 tribute, under Azalia's sharp guidance, is proving to be a fierce competitor, but Johanna refuses to show her hand.

The Games continue, and Johanna's facade stays intact. She's quiet, calculating, and keeps her distance from the others, letting them fight amongst themselves. As the tributes drop like flies, Johanna reveals only a fraction of her deadly skill, avoiding conflict while waiting for the perfect moment. But it's the bloodbath at the end-when Johanna finally unleashes the full force of her rage and cunning-that changes everything.

In a brutal, explosive finale, Johanna takes down the last two tributes in a savage display of power, her talents finally exposed in a bloody climax. And yet, even as she stands victorious, she can't shake the dangerous pull she feels toward Azalia. The woman's cold control, her authority, and the way she manages to keep everything together under pressure drives Johanna wild. The more she sees of Azalia, the more she wants to unravel her, to tear down the walls around her heart.
