So Real 😥

.•◇° I feel like this, right here, was such a highlight moment for Coriolanus. For both him as a person and in his relationship with Lucy Gray. In this moment, he put aside his needs for hers. He really empathized with her.

That's what I love about this book though. He isn't all villain. It takes time for him to get there. He makes a few decent choices, like he does here. In small ways. Not all of his thoughts were self-centered or manipulative. He really was capable of becoming someone different. Someone better. •◇°.

Katniss thinking this after talking with Snow...the irony. I like to think it was the same lake he and the Covey went to. A peaceful escape both Katniss and Snow shared.

Oooh, this parallel is crazy.

.° [Wrote a little winter fic for Snow and Lucy Gray. Mostly an imagining of where his mind might've been if he'd actually left Panem behind.] .°

Northern Lights °*.•

Summary:

Coriolanus Snow never found the guns in the cabin and is living his new life up north with Lucy Gray. His feelings for her are starting to fade as he resents the struggle to survive. However, after gaining a fresh perspective, he starts to come to terms with the way things are.

These books for an Autumn reading mood °.🍁.•🍂

Reading through the first book again, and came across an interesting parallel to Ballad...

After Peeta "betrays" Katniss' trust and teams up with the Careers, she considers him an enemy who will try to kill her. I imagined Snow watching this and comparing it to his own situation in the woods with Lucy Gray.

He betrayed her trust with the lie he told and she determined he was an enemy whom she then had to flee from.

And (from his perspective) she intended to kill him with the snake bite in nearly the same way Katniss intended to kill Peeta with the hive of Tracker Jackers.

But where this inspired vengeance in Snow and made him fully turn against Lucy Gray, Peeta's determination to keep Katniss alive doesn't change. It doesn't change his feelings for her at all.

I sort of just love imagining Snow's reaction to that and how, even from the beginning, these two seem to defy his expectations.

Wrote a new fanfic for these two! Wanted to write a sequel story that goes into Snow's continued rise to power and about what might've happened if he'd run into Lucy Gray again :) I'm aiming for it to be a redemptive fic.

The Rhythm of Order and Chaos °*.•

Summary:

Set almost three years after the events of TBOSAS, Coriolanus Snow has risen in influence, with soaring grades and a position that puts him in line to be the next Head Gamemaker. All of his plans have set him on a sure path to success, but a new project of Dr. Gaul's has him unexpectedly facing his past, his path once again crossing with Lucy Gray.

Now Coriolanus is caught between the fear that Lucy Gray is a threat, and the feelings she starts to stir in him again.
