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.

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.

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.

Listening to Billie Eilish's No Time to Die from Snow's perspective. Crazy accurate...

I should've known, I'd leave alone

Was I stupid to love you? Was I reckless to help?

Was it obvious to everybody else, that I'd fallen for a lie?

You were never on my side

I let it burn. You're no longer my concern

Another lesson yet to learn

There's just no time to die

꧁༺࿅ིཽ• –– •❈• –– •࿅ིཽ༻꧂

They will terrorize us

With new confusion

With the fear of life that seeks to bring despair within

And they will paralyze us

With new illusions

Let the dead revive the beast within

And I say, love

Come run away with me

Sweet, falling remedy

Come run away with me

Sufjan Stevens - Run Away With Me (Lyrics)

This song is giving me some major Coriolanus Snow and Lucy Gray feels. Their relationship...it's such a stroke of genius how complex it is.

꧁༺•°.

Listening to this just has me wishing so desperately that their ending had been happier. I'm imagining them going through with their plan to run away together. Imagining Snow choosing her over his ambition. They're so beautifully tragic.
