Summary
“Come with me to the Capitol. Come with me, please. Together, we can change things. I’ve seen your influence, your power over the Capitol. You’ve completely enchanted them, over there. You have nothing to be afraid of.”
“Afraid?” Lucy Gray scoffed, disbelief washing over her. “That’s what you think I am? Just some scared little girl?”
“Yes,” Coriolanus countered, his voice hardening slightly. “I think you’re too scared to go beyond what you know and actually make a change,” he hissed, his words, uninterrupted, leaving her no choice but to listen. “Have you thought that maybe together, we could take down the Hunger Games, forever? Have you ever thought about that?”
The day Lucy Gray accepts to go back to the Capitol with Coriolanus Snow, she makes a choice that will forever change the face of Panem.
Or, what if Snow had convinced Lucy Gray to come back to the Capitol with him?

Summary
He hands Simon a silver cigarette case.
Simon shakes slightly as his fingers graze over an inscription impressed into the metal and reads aloud, “Once a brother, always a brother.”
He looks at Wilhelm and finds him already watching him. “What does it mean?”
Wilhelm’s gaze is soft and golden, and it doesn’t waver, doesn’t leave him for a second.
“It means I will protect you,” he whispers reverently, “Always.”In dystopian Sweden, children of the elite Capitol attending Hillerska Skolan mentor young tributes taken from the subjugated Districts to fight to the death in the annual Hunger Games. Wille, the newly-named Crown Prince, must prove himself worthy of his late brother’s title by securing victory for his tribute from District 12. Simon, who loves to sing and hates the Capitol, is forced to volunteer as tribute to save his sister, Sara. What neither one expects is that this fateful partnership has the power to change everything.
Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes/Hunger Games AU.

Summary
He walked the muddy streets of District 12 with bells attached to his ankles and rings around his toes, his hair a fiery halo of reds and curls. He never wore shoes, never was seen without his fiddle in its beat up case slung over his shoulder, and his eyes had a sharpness to them that could only come from a creature from somewhere else. A wild thing that didn’t belong in the birdcage of the coal mining district that beat down the backs of the strongest. He was a canary, a songbird, a sly fox. An enigma.
Andrew hated him.

Summary
He didn’t know what to bring him. He had no food to spare, no secrets to spill, no heart to offer on a silver platter.
The only thing he had was a rose he had stolen from a garden he passed by, red like blood on Keigo's white shirt. Red like his own Academy uniform.Or in which Touya is as Capitol as they come and Keigo just got reaped.

=====
Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the sandstorm ceased. The camera stopped shaking in the wind and was able to focus on the crowd. As the last grains of sand fell away from the lens, the tribute—Kylo’s tribute—finally came into view.
She was hard to miss. The crowd around her had all hunkered down instinctively at the onset of the sandstorm, creating a heap of sand-colored bodies that began to stir when the winds stopped. But the tribute remained standing and had apparently been standing throughout the storm. She jutted out of the huddled masses around her like a lightning rod—and, indeed, she might well have been wishing for the storm to sweep her away.
But instead she stood, facing the cameras. And in one swift, well-practiced movement, she removed her googles and hood.
