#Mockingjay Manor

[tempestandwhirlwinds]

SPOILERS FOR SUNRISE ON THE REAPING (long post)

One major thing that surprised me about this book was how involved and active the rebels were in Haymitch's games. They clearly weren't incredibly organized yet, but they had plenty of smart people in their numbers (Beetee, Mags, Plutarch, etc) who were bold enough to try interfering directly with the Hunger Games arena. But despite all this, the sparks from the rebellion never caught fire (despite Haymitch's token), even though Haymitch and his allies did WAY more outright rebellious things in his game then Katniss did in hers (blowing up the arena, killing gamekeepers). So why didn't the rebellion start with him, and why wasn't he the "mockingjay"?

Here are my theories as to why in no particular order:

1. Haymitch betrayed his rebel spirit to Snow BEFORE the games started (making Snow 'claim' Louelle's death after the parade) which made him a clear and obvious target for Snow to focus on.

2. Once Snow started paying attention to Haymitch, he clearly saw some similarities between Haymitch's relationship with Lenore Dove and his own with Lucy Gray (that whole conversation they had at the Heavensbee manor). We know now for sure that Snow was haunted by Lucy Gray throughout the rest of his life (💅), and any reference to his lost "love" who betrayed him makes him a bit trigger happy, to say the least. Which means that-

3. Snow clearly paid VERY close attention to what was happening in the arena, to make sure he could punish Haymitch for any rebellious actions or censor them from the footage. This is the critical piece here. Snow knew the power of televised rebellion (the stunt with the Panem flag covering the corpses as a way to hold the Capitol accountable in Lucy Gray's games was a big one), and Haymitch had already demonstrated a similar sentiment in the parade. Because of this, it's clear to see that he had an EXTREMELY heavy hand in the games - he sent the (poisoned?) milk directly to Haymitch, and he heavily censored and manipulated the footage to remove any traces of deliberate rebellion and district solidarity, changing the narrative of Haymitch's games completely.

4. Because Snow was able to prevent the Capitol and the Districts from seeing the rebellious acts (or doctoring a propaganda film of the games that erases ppls memories of the actual events), Snow was able to neutralize Haymitch and the rebellion before it could spread past the arena. And his brutal punishment of Haymitch after the games only served to guarantee that Haymitch wouldn't step out of line again, removing the possibility of Haymitch being the face of the rebellion after Snow has taught him what will happen to those Haymitch cares about.

This led me to the next question: how was Katniss able to spark the rebellion and become the "mockingjay"?

Here are my thoughts:

1. Snow was clearly past his prime by the 74/75 Hunger Games, relying on his reputation of fear and control to keep people in line instead of continuously poisoning people outright. This may be because his body can't handle the poison as much anymore, or because he's slowly dying, but the scene we see in SOTR with Snow vomiting poison (and being unbothered by Haymitch witnessing it), combined with the fact that we don't see Snow as anything less than perfectly presentable in the Trilogy, shows how his older self is reaping the reward of fear and control that his younger self set the pave stones for with all the poisoning. By the time Katniss' games come around, he's like a lazy CEO who has everyone else and his reputation doing the work for him. He only starts picking up the slack once egregious mistakes start being made and his position at the Capitol becomes less stable with the rise of the Rebellion. Crucially, he was less involved in Katniss' games than he was in Haymitchs.

2. Katniss clearly wasn't trying to be a rebel in either of her games, unlike Haymitch, and Katniss and Snow were so similar (survivor's at heart) that Snow wasn't worried about rebellion from her at all. He wouldn't have liked her winning, obviously (Lucy Gray the icon that you are) and he would've been sneering over the star-crossed lovers angle, as he's absolutely certain that self-preservation will always prevail over love. After all, that's the same dilemma that happened between him and Lucy Gray, and they both chose self-preservation over each other!

3. I would bet money that Snow was fairly hands off during the 74th Hunger games, with the exception of the two-victors-from-the-same-district rule. Knowing what we know now about how Snow handled Haymitch and Lenore Dove, he would've been itching for a recreation of "killing the one you love" situation between Katniss and Peeta, the same way that it happened between him and Lucy Gray and Haymitch and Lenore Dove. He didn't believe that Katniss and Peeta were in love, but he also very sincerely believed the foundations of love crumple to nothing when someone's life is on the line - and he had to believe that, bc that would mean that he killed(?) Lucy Gray for no reason at all.

4. When Katniss teamed up with Rue, their alliance was so clearly different from the careers' in a way that was dangerous for the Capitol - it showed genuine comradery between districts. With the Careers alliances, there's no threat because they all turn at each other at the end (furthering the 'Disticts are subhuman/animal/inferior' perception with the Capitol), but Katniss very visibly treated Prim like a sister. Katniss showed that the Districts were family. This portrayal could not be allowed to continue. This was the first spark to the fire.

5. When Rue was killed, the cameras almost certainly lingered on her so they could capture her dismissively walking away from the body (because everyone is out for themselves, after all) but instead, they capture Katniss grieving and giving Rue a clear funeral in the only way she can - transforming Rue from a number and a bet into a dead girl and a child to be mourned. This is the clear moment that sparks the rebellion and keeps it aflame. Snow clearly didn't expect Katniss to do this, and was unable to avert the cameras in time. The rebellion is past the arena now.

6. This, I believe, is the moment where Snow tried to punish her and work some damage control. He implemented the 2 Victors rule as a bait and switch, to prove to himself and the Districts that even if Katniss will care and protect someone else, she will still choose herself, even if it means that she has to kill someone from her district. This, obviously, would make her a pariah back at home (tributes from the same district killing each other was confirmed to be social suicide in the first HG book) and squash out the face of the rebellion before it could spread.

7. But, of course, Katniss didn't do this and stepped out of the rules of his little "checkmate" entirely, which left Snow in a VERY sticky situation. Either they both died (showing the Districts that the Games are truly just a fancy way to murder their children, without the fame of the victor to distract from it) or they both lived (showing that 2 teenagers are able to hold power over the Capitol itself). Either way, the Capitol doesn't look good and, most importantly, it proves Snow wrong about his perception of humanity. Some people do choose love over survival - even the most brutal of survivalists like Katniss - and that is just too much for Snow to handle. No wonder he's obsessed with Katniss for the rest of the Trilogy, desperate to prove himself right after sixty plus years of the blood on his hands justifying his belief in people being inherently violent and selfish.

TLDR/In conclusion? Haymitch had a little too much boldness and a little too much bad luck, while Katniss had an overwhelming amount of love and loyalty within her, decades of people consoldiating for rebellion behind her, and just enough luck to truly spark the flame of rebellion and keep it lit until it burned the Capitol to the ground. Suzanne Collin's entire story focuses on strength of the power of the many, but how even then, there still needs to be a person to rally behind. This person, this symbol of resistance, can never be the person you want, only the person you need. You just gotta hope the stars align enough to make that person step forward and lead us to victory.

Suzanne Collins, the author that you are.

When he gets booked for the big Wayne Halloween party, however, he finds himself getting all tangled up with the Waynes, and the more fortunes he tells, the tighter the snare becomes.  or: Tim just wanted to scam Gotham's elite, not end up on the Batfamily's watchlist.

lovepurposed ☀️ francis snow :

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐀 𝐆𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 — the hulking seat at the head of it missing — although when his grandfather is present, it‘s little more company than the clanking and clattering of silverware and the sound of liquid being poured into cups. None of them have anything to say lest it be the wrong thing — and the President’s interest has waned into an all-encompassing nothingness that never asks about his own family. Perhaps that’s for the best. His mood is foul these days — and Francis suspects he’s not eating at all. So then, he is a dying man scraping and clawing for his control on a world that cannot and will not be held captive. Perhaps the world at large could give them some advice. Living in the manor is beginning to feel like living in a dollhouse. Security is heightened — they go few places without escorts. They go few places at all.

Still, even in the quiet, he can feel his grandfather’s gaze on him, ever-present. Paranoia everyone approaches Francis at a dinner party and tells him that he is the future of Panem. Fury when they tell him he’s the spitting image of a young Coriolanus Snow. His grandfather has stopped seeing him as a child now — and despite his agreeable nature, has started viewing him rather as competition — as though Francis is the grim reaper telling him that his clock is grinding to a halt. Time changes all things. It’s nothing personal. He supposes he really should thank the Everdeen girl — if his grandfather’s hands weren’t full with a looming rebellion, Francis has the feeling that he would be another of the Snow family ghosts at the dinner table. There are a great number of them now. He wonders if Mary feels the same way. It probably doesn’t bode well for a man if his entire family hates him — though he supposes his sister is still young enough to idolize him.

It’s after Mary speaks that his grey-haired grandfather excuses himself without a word, leaving only he and his girlfriend at the table. It’s funny how quiet the two of them have kept all of this time. Secrets, he has learned, speak the loudest sometimes. Between them, there is a symphony echoing off of the walls. Maybe she knows something that could help him. She has no reason to want him dead, after all. Well, aside from his name. But how would she know who he is as a person? He’s never given her the chance — always kept to himself. What good does it tell her to speak freely? It may as well be a cat telling a mouse to trust it — clearly no harm will come. “I never see you outside of dinner,” he says. Perhaps that’s a bit more foreboding than he’d intended. “That is — I know so little about you — your interests, for example.” An Avox pours more wine into his cup. Slowly, calculating the move, he turns and acknowledges the girl, whispering ‘thank you’. He’s gotten into the habit of this on his own — but it is something he would never dare in front of his grandfather or sister. Life is a game of chess — and he’s made a risky move.

francis is wearing a white cream blouse, billowing. criss-crossed diamond pattern along each side of his sleeved arms. mary, his girlfriend he met in his travels, was sitting next to him, and his little sister who was wearing a mockingjay braid. coriolanus snow, ‘ coryo ‘, was at the head of the brown dining table in the white manor, president of panem. and his grandfather, francis sighs. a painting of the old man and the sea sits framed in gold grey iron on the wall, an octopus unfurling in the picture.

they are eating stir-fry the cook gabriel, made.

francis picks up his chopsticks, chewing on the yellow scrambled egg within the strips of pink salmon and zucchini.

his tunic of dirt and leaves was on the back of his dinner chair, mary giving it to him in their forest dates. he had suffered a brain injury during his life of perfection, imagining a tree dripping blood in the woods, and medusa snakes slithering in from the blackening roots. he seems fine and assured in his presence, as he sits at the dinner table.

the avox which served their food today was a servant to the snow household. snow said her not to litter, as she reaches him, not in a good mood. she has red hair.

memories of sejanus plinth, his childhood friend, haunted him in coryo’s youth, and seeing him executed. it becoming a reason on his coldness like in talking to seneca crane in the berries garden. his blood sometimes ran black due to his age, whispers that he was senile, yet none dared to say so to his face. he thought lucy gray was an interesting person who sang songs, yet now katniss everdeen was an embodiment of her he was haunted.

mary says, ‘ I like playing piano, ‘ in response to her boyfriend asking her interests, seeing snow excuse himself to his office study. she likes playing on the piano 🎹 , a pink rose on the alabaster white, her black hair down and playing songs like morningstar.

am I the star beneath the stairs, am I a ghost upon the stage, am I your anything?

francis notices she looked tired upon playing, yet thought ‘ it is beautiful music to my ears. ‘

he remembered he had violin lessons. snow looking upon approvingly in his strict posture, a hint of rare smile in his white beard. my grandson is getting very good at violin, he thinks.

francis continues to muse about the hollow dinner parties. effie trinket had silver eyeliner streaked across her eyelids and wore a elaborate orange butterfly dress, gushing to francis in approaching him in the gardens outside their white house; white pillars - fireworks in the sky. ‘ it’s in style, mr snow. ‘ she says, fluffing her blonde curls, a butterfly in hair. ‘ a sun cage. ‘

francis says to mary he feels like a ghost too, in their moments alone of their forest dates, where snow could not hear him. running in the forest, away from the dollhouse of his manor, the dollhouse of the capitol. she says a little of her medical issue in standing up, as they are running, ‘ I need to catch my breath, ‘ she says, holding her hand to her stomach and rubbing softly. he looks concerned at her, slowing down. he sees her massaging her abdomen, hoping she is okay.

he says to her, as they are there in the sunlight garden, his blond hair flying in the wind, ‘ you are far more than what you sacrifice. I take your position seriously, and I want to help. ‘

he ponders, then says, ‘ it is a ghost sensation, I find, ‘ he indicating her massaging of her stomach, similar to if she was nurturing a baby. ‘ I eat food which can then burden onto my stomach and below to deal with stress, a white discolour in tsunamis, yet I know I am in this world. ‘ he remembers the stress of being a perfect son, he snarling at his grandfather, snarling at mary in his moments of stress — waves washing his head.

I humbly bow in gratitude and shall invoke your name on the corresponding future chapter 🙇‍♀️

And also credit you and @investyourlove1019 for the name brainstorming because Mockingjay for LilBruce is now canon. I don’t make the rules.

Jason‘s entire world view is shifting and crumbling and reassembling itself all in the span of a couple seconds and this entire situation is utter lunacy but—- let’s be for real. Before Bruce decided never to kill he was a little boy aching to avenge his parents. Death, life, neither mattered to him. He just wanted the murderer to pay. So him going to Jason after Hood established himself in Crime Alley? It’s actually more in character than one would suspect at first. But Jason obviously never got to know this side of Bruce.

Long story short, Jason agrees. Not because he thinks he owes it to Bruce but because this little toddler just saw his parents get murdered in cold blood right in front of him and the Red Hood doesn’t let shit like that slide. Ever.

(There’s this whole spiel where Bruce tries to throw his money at Jason because “How much do you want for it? 5 million? 6?” And Jason’s just like “Nah, early Christmas present :)” more serious of course, but end of the line is that Jason doesn’t accept a single penny. It is also the moment that Bruce decides to trust this weird criminal a tiny bit.)

Y E S tho! Make it so Joe grabbed some of the pearls from Martha‘s necklace before fleeing! Those pearls are crazy valuable and worth a couple hundred each, but Joe is a greedy dumbass who boasts about snatching them off the Waynes to drive the price even higher.

It works, of course. Just not in the way Joe suspected it would.

Within a couple hours word gets back to Jason about the pearls and he throws his money in the ring to track down the culprit.

When Jason finally gets his hands on Joe Chill, he doesn’t make it quick.

Bruce wakes up the next morning with a special delivery sitting on the steps to Wayne Manor containing the missing pearls.

That should have been it. Everyone’s happy, Jason did his good deed of the century and Little Bruce can now proceed to heal like he should have the first time around, with all the fancy therapy and stuff to go along with it. And Jason can finally focus on getting back to his own damn universe.

And he would. He really, really would, but every time he thinks about leaving, the picture of Bruce— alone and tiny and asking Jason to finish the job — pops into his head, and he feels like someone is fixing a noose around his throat because he can’t breathe.

So we’ve got a Jason who‘s perpetually terrified of Bruce deciding to act on those suicidal tendencies again. The part with Jason and the gun was opportunistic, wandering into Crime Alley alone is passive (relatively), but things like that can easily flip into deliberate planning and execution.

Bruce won’t go that far, but Jason doesn’t know that. What if Jason leaves and Bruce— dies? The Alfred of this world isn’t nearly as invested in Bruce’s welfare as the original was/is, it would be so easy for the little boy to slip between the cracks of the world and just— vanish.

Jason sticks to obsessively checking in with the kid to reassure himself of his continued survival.

Little Bruce, who is officially hero worshipping the Red Hood now, imprints on Jason like a baby duckling.

Prompt:

Jason gets booted to another dimension and adopts a recently orphaned Bruce Wayne.

Whom he also takes along for the ride when he’s pulled back into his own dimension.

Mockingjay Manor - Ch 7

Chapter One /// Chapter Two /// Chapter Three /// Chapter Four /// Chapter Five /// Chapter Six

Happy Tuesday dear everlarkers! Last week’s installment of Mockingjay Manor concluded with a drugged and injured Everlark finding themselves whisked away from the terrifying Doctor Snow and hidden in a secret room by an unknown rescuer. You voted to put their trust in this unidentified saviour. What happens next? Let’s check in with the incredible @mega-aulover to find out....

A note, friends, that this chapter is rated M for canon-typical violence and begged-for sexual content.

As always, you have 48 hours, until noon EDT on Thursday, October 12th, to cast you votes in the notes or reblogs, not in the tags!!!

I crumple the note in my fist and toss it on the floor and the syringe I’d hidden in my sleeve drops onto the carpet and rolls away. The warning to stay put doesn’t sit well with me. I’m pissed off, angry at this man, Snow, and his tricks. The stupid portrait looms over me, mocking me. We’ve been attacked, stung by some experimental wasps, and threatened. He will not get away with this.

Peeta groans and my plans for vengeance fly from my mind. I kneel at his side and gently check his stings. “Are you okay?”

“Katniss, I’ve been stung before. Remember? Eleventh grade when you were trying to get rid of that hive.”

The hive had fallen to the ground and we’d both been badly stung. I thought I’d killed Peeta and I kissed him hard on the lips. It was my first kiss. The memory makes me want to blush but instead I grunt, “Yeah, but those were regular wasps.” I gingerly touch a red bump on his neck. “These weren’t ordinary wasps. I couldn’t move.”

“I was knocked out,” Peeta rubs his neck. “Did you find a note or something?”

The discarded note lies at my feet, and I’m fuming once more at the absurdity of the situation. “It says to stay here and that Finnick and Jo are safe.” It’s the last thing I want to do. Fulfilling the will’s requirement to fix up the house has transformed into a personal quest for the truth.  

Peeta frowns. “I know that look on your face.”

“What look?” I try not to appear defensive but my arms are crossed and my face has turned into a scowl.

“That nothing-I-say-will-convince-you-to-give-up-or-leave-this-house face.”

Standing, arms akimbo, I say, “Haymitch might have been an asshole, but he was family. I’ve got to clear his name of whatever is going on here. I want answers! Who is Snow and how can I get rid of him?”

“Not alone you won’t.” Peeta struggles to sit up and I pull him to his feet. “We agreed we’d do this together.”

Peeta leans toward me, his sweet face at once disarming me and stirring my libido. It's been this way since we were kids. I’ve never been able to pinpoint whether it’s his boy-next-door face, his sturdy but welcoming arms, or his good natured soul, but it drives me wild.

His hand slips over my chin and its rough texture causes my heart rate to triple.  Right before he places a chaste kiss upon my lips, his eyes smolder with unfulfilled passion. Instantly, my panties become soaked, and I think, awe hell, I need him.

I nearly lost him tonight and it’s making me desperate. The anger I’d been kindling is quickly replaced by desire, thick pulsing desire that has me panting.

All of the adrenaline flows south to the juncture between my legs; I feel my body pulse there. My arms wind themselves around his neck. The kiss deepens as his sweet tongue invades my mouth. Peeta always tastes of cinnamon and vanilla. It’s addictive and draws me in further. Passionate electrical torrents pass between us and our kisses become rushed. His large hands grip my hips, then my ass.

He’s still aroused and I can feel his hard length pressing against me. My nipples tighten into buds at the thought of having him. We walk backwards into a wall, and I grind against him. My hand gravitates downward and grabs him through his jeans. He is already thick with need and he groans before tearing his mouth away from mine.

Hungrily he pants, “Katniss.”

His blue eyes are the dark like the night sky; his hands desperately skimming over my body. Seeing him so uncontrolled makes me feral for more of his touch and sends dirty thoughts racing through my mind.

His hands make their way to my zipper and I shimmy just enough out of my pants to give his fingers the freedom to find my needy core.

“You’re so wet,” he mutters against my neck where his lips are burning a path to the sensitive spot under my jaw. His fingers part my folds, rubbing my clit in that magical pattern he knows I like so much. Spending so many hours on the edge of danger has done something to me and the need to feel alive, to know that we are both well, stokes the fire within me until I burn out of control.  

“Peeta I neee….” The rest of the words fall away when his thick fingers slip inside of me. It satisfies my cravings for a moment, but soon his fingers aren’t enough.

“Tell me what you want,” he says against my skin.

I am at the summit and I can feel a familiar tightening in my womb. “I need you inside...now!”

He pushes my pants down. I hear the rasp of his zipper and I feel his tip aligned with my entrance.

“NOW,” I urge, as his tongue invades my mouth and his thick member stretches my taught body. My bones melt like ice-cream on a hot pavement.

A muffled groan escapes both of us, his member sliding in and out of my slick, tight walls. Tearing my mouth away from his, I bite his earlobe, causing Peeta to pound into me. My body begins to convulse around him and everything fades to white as we come at the same time.

When I come to, Peeta is softly kissing me. Our bodies slide onto the thick plush rug, somehow I end up lying on top of Peeta. His voice rumbles through his chest, “If the situation weren’t so dire we could play out one of those smutty fanfics you're always reading. Maybe hang from that chandelier.”

My cheeks tinge pink at the mention of my one vice. Fanfic is my one and only guilty pleasure. Peeta happens to be the only person on the planet who knows about it. Playfully I hit him on the arm, “Wiseass.”

Spent, we straighten our clothing. The lightning crackles in the sky and the bright light illuminates the portrait of Maysilee. In the background, I spot white bell flowers cascading from a tree.  “Devil's breath,” I gasp, pointing at the painting.

“What?”

“Those flowers in the background, they’re called Devil’s Breath. It’s a plant my mom uses to calm her patients. She’s always careful about using it, because it can make you incapacitated, almost zombie like. It can erase your memories. If Snow has this, it explains why those wasps affected us the way they did.”

“Note to self, stay away from wasps,” Peeta murmurs to himself.   

“Quick, help me.”

Startled by the voice we spin around. The dumbwaiter is back, and inside we find an exact replica of Maysilee Donner Abernathy, very much alive and definitely not a monster.  “Maysilee?”

“Nope, just her niece, Madge Undersee,” she says, hopping out of the dumbwaiter. “Help me get your friend to the sofa. He was stung pretty badly.” Peeta springs into action, helping maneuver an unconscious Finnick to the couch while Madge disappears in dumbwaiter again to go back for Jo.

“He’s pretty out of it,” Peeta says as he holds Finnick's face in his hands. The dumbwaiter rattles back into the room.

“They need the antidote, Katniss,” says Madge. Together, we move Jo, “Their hearts can stop just like my aunt and your uncle.” Madge takes two syringes from her back pocket.

“Wait, how did you know who we are?” I blanch at the thought of having to administer the antidote. Needles make me squeamish.

Madge rolls up Finnick’s sleeve and administers the antidote as she speaks. “My aunt left me a letter with my mom. After Haymitch died, I did a small inquiry.”

Jo is badly stung and her body is spasming. Rolling up her sleeve, I manage to accomplish what my mother and my sister have tried to instruct me to do a thousand times without success. As the contents of the needle are introduced into her blood system, Jo’s body calms down. “How’s that possible? Your aunt’s been dead for over 25 years?”

Peeta exclaims, “Like in the second Back to the Future when Doc leaves Marty behind in 1955 and writes him a letter from 1855 with instructions to deliver it to Marty in 1955.”

Peeta’s infatuation with Back to the Future could be the only non-attractive thing about him, but I can usually forgive it because that boyish look on his face is yummy.

Madge laughs at his Back to the Future reference. “Sort of,” she agrees. “About six months before I was born, my aunt thought she was going to die and wanted to make sure her killer was brought to justice. She wrote a letter and instructed my mother to give it to me if anything happened to Haymitch. In her letter, my aunt Maysilee wrote that Haymitch wouldn’t rest until he solved her murder, and that if he died, then someone else needed to take up the torch. She also said that if anything happened to her, my mother wouldn’t be emotionally or mentally capable of finding her killer. It’s true, she wasn’t. She still isn’t. She couldn’t even hand me the letter without dissolving to tears.” Madge took out the folded letter from her pocket and held it up. “She died the day she wrote this. As soon as I got her letter, I requested a copy of the coroner's report. It said my aunt died of an overdose. But one of the first things she stated in her letter was that she never took drugs.”

“So that thing in the attic with your aunt’s look, it isn’t her?”

Finnick groans and tries to sit up and Peeta pulls him upright. Clearly, the medication is taking effect. I shudder to think of what could have happened to all of us without Madge’s help. Losing Peeta is my worst nightmare.

“No,” Madge shakes her head, “That thing in the attic isn’t my aunt.”

“Tell me what you know and what’s with that symbol on your locket.” I point to her shirt.

“According to the letter, my family owned Mockingjay Cosmetics. This was the brand symbol. Dr. Snow was in charge of creating and testing out new products. You’ve met his secretary.”

“Effie,” Peeta says as Finnick sits forward. “Haymitch once told me he met her at work. I thought it was at the tech firm he owned.”

Madge pulls out a necklace with a locket. “From what I could find out from the old records my family had, your uncle Haymitch was a genius. He was working with reproducing skin cells, so that they could test the cosmetics without human or animal testing.” She opens the locket to reveal that her aunt and her mother were twins. “When FDA laws became stricter, my family complied, or so we thought. There was an investigation and we lost the company, because of Snow. My aunt believed Haymitch had something on Snow, but she couldn’t prove anything and before she could find out, she died. Your uncle moved to Silicon Valley, where he made his money. My mom has never gotten over the death of her sister.”

“Do you think that beast could have your aunt’s genes?”

“I only know that Snow’s been manipulating the genetic makeup of that mutt. I found some files that seemed to indicate that Effie’s been involved. Snow and Crane experimented on her with the Devil’s Breath, manipulating her memories.”  

Peeta speculates, “He made her into one of his mutts.”

Madge nods,“I’ve been able to grab samples of the vials in his lab and send them out for testing. It’s how I was able to get an antidote.”

“So how do we-” My words were frozen mid-sentence as a piercing howl echoes inside the house. A crashing and thumping noise penetrates the air, followed by the high-pitched, panicked screeching of birds. The chandelier shakes above us, and several crystals fall to the ground like broken stars.

Finnick’s eyes shoot upward. Like me, he’s a hunter and he’s instantly alert.

“He let experiment M loose,” Madge whispers, her face and eyes filled with horror.

Grabbing Madge by the arms, I shake her “Are there any weapons in the house?”

Madge gives me a blank stare right before she nods. She pulls on a wall sconce, “I found this one day by accident.” The picture springs open revealing two automatic crossbows. I’m overjoyed as I load it with arrows. The ceiling above shakes, bits of debris of dried plaster and dust fall on our heads . I hear the birds screech in fear and pain. There is no doubt the ape is killing the birds.

Madge bends down and picks up the forgotten syringe. “Katniss, we can stop that creature with this. There’s enough of the Devil's Breath in here to kill it.”

“We did the mash! We did the monster mash,” Finnick sings, as he checks over the other crossbow.

“Finnick,” I warn as I macgyver the syringe onto the tip of one of the arrows with my hair tie.

“Katniss, are you sure this is the wisest thing to do?” Peeta’s voice always has a way of reaching me, even when I’ve got my blinders on and I cannot reason.

We can hear its steps echo through the threadbare walls. The mutt is hunting us. “We got to get rid of it Peeta. If it gets out…you need to take care of Jo.”

“Okay, I’ll take care of Jo, but I swear if I don’t see you in hour, I’m coming after you.” He places a soft kiss on my lips.

I want to tell him that I love him but there’s no time for this so I express it in my kiss. Stepping away, I turn to Madge, “Since you know the house better than us, is there a place where you can take Jo and Peeta, maybe call the cops?”

The howling is getting closer. There is no time to lose. We stare at each other in that pregnant peace before the storm. It knows we’re in here.

“Help me with Jo,” Madge shouts. Peeta tenderly puts Jo into the dumbwaiter and Madge wraps an arm around her waist to hold her up. We realize too late that three people cannot fit inside.

“Take care of her,” Peeta tells Madge and pulls the door closed. As the dumbwaiter rattles away, I hear the mutt sniffing at the door to the room.

“Peeta, get behind us,” I shout. Looking behind me, I see Peeta picking up a chair. The door smashes to splinters and the snarling wolf lunges inside, its eyes glittering with evil. Blood drips from its canine teeth and I spot feathers mixed in with its golden hair.

It snarls and snaps at Finnick, I aim the crossbow. It senses my movement and jumps at me as a blood curdling roar rips from its jaws. The arrow is released and it lodges itself in its chest. It roars in pain and stumbles, but lands on its paws and lunges at me again.  Finnick is shooting at it, but his arrows do nothing to it. He tosses his crossbow aside and rams the beast in its side.

“FINNICK NO!!” I scream as he struggles with the mutt.

The chair splinters behind me. I spin around. Snow is holding on to Peeta, who has a syringe buried in his jugular. Snow is wounded. Blood seeps from his nose but his eyes are wild, animalistic. Peeta is limp in his arms and his eyes are glazed over. Yet another secret door gapes open behind them.

“Peeta,” I whisper, my heart is thumping. I hold up the crossbow, Snow in my sights. My mind is flooded with images. Mutts in the attic that look like people, wasps, singing deranged birds, Devil’s Breath and that snake like Dr. Snow accusing my uncle. Finnick is being mauled and Snow holds Peeta. Do I take the chance, shoot at Snow and risk hurting Peeta? Or do I put my weapon down?

⚠️content warning, attempted suicide⚠️

From the moment she volunteered Katniss unknowingly made herself a star. Her and Peeta had the best chariot outfits because their designer decided to have them wear outfits inspired by the coal that was mined, an all black outfit with false flames that wouldn’t burn them, but gave the illusion that they were on fire, this created the Girl On Fire. Peeta made them both desirable with the star crossed lovers narrative. But Adam and Lucifer knew that even without the narrative those two would fall in love like they did. Lucifer and Adam were made to watch with Snow and their family.

Lucifer: It’s alright my dove, I got you.

Lucifer knew that Adam could see himself in Katniss and the young girl Rue was like Lyra. Snow got irked when the announcement was made that two Tributes from the same District could be Victors. But he had to allow it when he heard citizens of District 11 attacked Peacekeepers right after they saw Rue die and Katniss sang to her as she died and put flowers around their body. Katniss teamed up with Peeta and she helped him stay alive. Once they were the only ones in the arena both Lucifer and Adam were confused.

Lucifer: They won, get them out of the arena.

But Snow had that creepy smile on his lips.

Announcer: Attention, attention, Tributes. There has been a slight rule change. The previous revision allowing two Victors from the same District, has been revoked. There can only be one Victor crowned. Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Lucifer knew this was what Snow wanted, to have the star crossed lovers kill each other. It would be a brilliant way to tell everyone that you can’t rebel. But then Adam watched as Katniss and Peeta stood close to each other and it looked like Katniss handed Peeta something before Katniss let everyone see what was in their hands. They were holding pure black berries. Adam started to laugh uncontrollably.

Adam: Those are nightlock berries, they would rather kill themselves than kill each other. If this doesn’t stop, you won’t have a Victor to parade around Panem.

Snow felt rage, but he knew that he had to allow both of them to win. He then walked over to his grandson who was holding his lover who was weeping and laughing.

Snow: I think it would be wise if you and your friend should go along with Ms Effie Trinket to keep our young victors in line.

Lucifer flinched at the emphasis Snow put on the word friend. He lets Lucifer be with Adam, but he would never recognize the romantic nature of their relationship.

Snow: Of course grandfather.

Unlike other celebrations, they didn’t have the Victors restrained in some way. Katniss and Peeta made a lovely pair with Katniss in soft shimmery gold dress and Peeta in a blue suit with the crowns declaring them Victors. Katniss even wore the Mockingjay pin that played a part in her becoming famous. Effie excitedly approached them with Lucifer and Adam following.

Effie: We have Snow’s grandson come help me with the busy schedule of your life as Victors and his special friend, Adam is coming along.

Everyone in Panem knew the term special friend was a code word that same sex couples used to identify their lover without outright saying it. Katniss approached Adam and took his hands.

Katniss: I remember watching your game ten years ago, I liked your singing a lot.

Adam: Thank you.

The celebrations lasted longer than usual which at nearly a month. Everyone was grateful when they got on the train to take them back to District 12. In Snow’s manor, Snow had an envelope with the number 75 on it. Every twenty five years they had a Quarter Quell where they would do something different to hold the interest of the audience. The first Quarter Quell had the Districts vote for who the Tributes would be and the second one where Haymitch won had twice as many Tributes from each District. Snow was never going to find out what the role for third Quarter Quell would actually be because he threw it in the fire. He had someone bring a new envelope and piece of paper brought to him. He then wrote that on the 75th Hunger Games and 3rd Quarter Quell, the Tributes would be reaped from the existing pool of Victors. Katniss’s name would be drawn for District 12 for the female Tribute no matter what and when it came District 2 he would make sure that Adam’s name was drawn for the male Tribute even if his name was the one on all the slips of paper.

(Hunger Games AU)

Lucifer was called to the President’s manor and stepped out. Standing outside the manor were the Peacekeepers. He walked in to see his grandfather, Coriolanus, the ruler of Panem waiting for him.

Lucifer: You needed me, grandfather?

Snow: Of course, course of all of my grandchildren you are the one to most likely to succeed me and I want you to learn much of the Districts and ways since you must enforce your will and to keep the Hunger Games going.

Lucifer had to keep himself from flinching. Lucifer was the eldest son of Snow’s eldest daughter. He wanted Lucifer to be the next President even if it went against everything he believed in.

Snow: I am sending you to District 2 to escort the tributes and mentors. The train is waiting for you so you can make it for Reaping Day.

Adam swung his axe as the judges of District 2 watched. District 2 wanted the best Tributes to take part in the Hunger Games. At six and a half feet tall with over 200 pounds of muscle, they wanted Adam to be the one to volunteer at the age of eighteen. The other person picked from District 2 to volunteer was Lilith. Lilith got close to Adam so only he could hear her.

Lilith: Once we get into the arena I am going to enjoy killing you.

Adam decided to ignore her and he went to his home so he could have one night left with his family before going to what could be his death. Sera had made his favorite meal and she couldn’t keep herself from crying.

Sera: Please, do everything in your power to win. I don’t care about the home in the Victor’s Village or the benefits the winning District gets for a year, I just want my son to come back.

Adam: I promise mom.

Afterwards, Emily took Adam to her room so she could pierce his left ear so the earring could be his Tribute Token. The token was a gold hoop earring with a purple stone on it since purple was the color of District 2. Emily put the other earring like his in her left ear. The next the stage was set up with the District 2 Victors from past games. Standing at the podium was a handsome blonde man about Adam’s age in a white and red suit.

Lucifer: I am Lucifer Morningstar, I am here to reap the Tributes for the 64th Hunger Games. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Lucifer walked to the large orbs with the scraps of paper with names of girls of District 2 between the ages 12 to 18. Before he could pull out a name, Lilith stepped up.

Lilith: I volunteer as tribute.

Lilith got onto the stage.

Lucifer: May I have your name?

Lilith: Lilith Magne.

Lucifer: Now we must find the man who will join you.

Adam: I volunteer as tribute.

Lucifer felt himself blush at the handsome man who walked onto the stage.

Lucifer: And what is your name?

Adam: Adam Kadmon.

Lucifer: After you talk with your family one last time, you will be escorted to the train that will take you to the Capitol.

Adam nodded, he knows this guy is like the future President in training, but he was kinda cute. Very cute.

But he had bigger things to worry about than getting his rocks off with some hot twink. He hugged his mom and sister so tight making one last promise to win, not just for his life and district but for them.

He didn't want to let them go but soon he had to go and get on the train to go to the capital.

Adam grabbed his duffle bag and slung it over his shoulder and got on the train. When he was in his room there at least he had a nice view.

Not many people get to see this view and even fewer get to see it on the way back.

The Hunger Games are a sick and twisted thing, something Adam wished didn't exist.

Knocking on his door brought him out of his gazing..

Lucifer: Hey, how are you doing?

Life Support-JLaLa (ao3) Summary: Johanna Mason, Gale Hawthorne, Finnick Odair, Annie Cresta, Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen–all residents of Panem Hospice, where people come in but never leave.

Lupercalia-Alliswell (ao3)  Summary: His head is covered with a gray wolf headdress. The ears of the unlucky animal stick right up and he’s staring at me. The only reason I know the man standing frozen in front of me is Him, is because I can see the halfmoon scar left by my own teeth on the outside of his right thumb. “Peeta” I didn’t know his name made it past my lips. He used to be my best friend. Now he’s chasing after me like I’m his prey. Make a Wish-Court81981 (ff.net)  Summary: Modern AU, One-Shot. Peeta Mellark has been a fan of Katniss Everdeen since long before she became famous. He never expected that she might have felt the same way. Meet me up at Midnight, in the Apple Tree-Alliswell (ao3)  Summary: Blindsided by news of her impending relocation to a mental institution in the Capitol, Katniss Everdeen takes steps to ensure she'd always stay in her home in Victor's Village, right where she can lovingly tend to her treasured Apple Tree.

Morning Shine-Alliswell (ao3)  Summary: Sequel to Dead of Night My Love is Faded-Brown_Eyed_Devil (ao3)  Summary: What if Peeta had returned from the Capitol later than in the original series? A post-mockingjay fic, where Katniss is shipped off to 7, as soon as it becomes clear she's wasting away in 12, to complete classes of intense therapy alongside Johanna and Annie. When she returns to District 12, she finds that nothing is as it should be. North Star-JLaLa (ao3) Summary: Victor Peeta Mellark and his wife, Katniss, find themselves thrown into the Capitol, under the watchful eyes of President Snow, as they prepare to take their places as leaders of the Rebellion.

in which emmy & alfie are friendly

Emmy watched a lot of movies with Alfie. She wouldn’t say they were close—she was only close with Magnus—but she still considered him a friend. Anyways, he let her pick the movie every time since he knew she was so picky about her action flicks. They only watched a movie once or twice a fortnight, but it had become a routine for them to gather on Saturdays in his large room (as the first to join the gang, Alfie had nabbed probably the best rooms in the manor after Dani’s). Sometimes Magnus or Gemma would join them, which often led to squabbling or kissing that distracted everyone else. Luckily for Emmy and Alfie, they were both with Dani and Nic for a mission.

“What are you thinking this time, angel?” he asked, picking up the remote from the small space between them. A smile, even if small, came to her face at his favorite pet name for her. Alfie was a harmless flirt. He was kind and sweet and considerate. He also had no sense of self-preservation. Absolutely none. But Emmy had to admit she wouldn’t like him as much if he had it.

“We did Mockingjay Part 2 last week,” she said, thinking over her options. She mostly rewatched the same 15 or 20 movies, occasionally letting Alfie throw something in to spice it up. “But I don’t know if I want something as heavy this week. Ideas?” She turned to face him and saw a wicked grin on his face.

“6 Underground. They’re like us, just not as cool. But it’s funny and has a good ending. You’ll like it.” Alfie always spoke with such confidence and ease, but it wasn’t cocky. Well, it was, but in an endearing way. Mostly, his confidence felt personal. It was like he actually knew her, not just what she’d let him know. It scared Emmy at first that he was so easy to get along with, but as she’d come to know him during her time with the group, he’d become her favorite of the group (except for Magnus, but he had twin privileges).

“Sounds good to me.” Emmy gave Alfie another small smile, enjoying the wild grin on his face as he pulled it up. He had a nice smile.

She didn’t realize she’d been staring until Alfie turned to her with a confused look.

“What? Do I have something on my face?” He slapped a smile on, but it wasn’t as genuine as the one that had been there moments before.

Emmy laughed softly. “Only a nice smile.” There was no point in hiding from the truth. Alfie probably already knew it, but with the faint pink on his cheeks, she was starting to think he didn’t. Or he at least hadn’t expected her to observe as much.

“C’mon, start the movie. I gotta know if it’s as good as you say it is.”

“Do you not trust me?” Alfie gasped, facing Emmy again with a mouth agape. “I know your high standards, Emma. I better after how many movies you’ve made us stop watching halfway through.” His grin was back again, the wild, happy one. Emmy liked seeing it, but she didn’t like him using her real name. She’d always been Emma before Gemma came along, but after plenty of confusion, Magnus had resorted to a childhood (as in toddler) nickname. It had caught on, despite Emmy’s best wishes. She was confused why she didn’t like him calling her by her real name.

Emmy rolled her eyes, dragging herself back to reality. “You say that like it’s a bad thing.”

“It is for Magnus and Gemma,” Alfie remarked, still teasing her. “It means they don’t have as much time to distract us.”

Emmy made a disgusted face. “Don’t remind me. Last week in the living room was bad enough.”

Alfie laughed loudly, and this time it was Emmy who thought there may have been pink on her cheeks.

“But your high standards aren’t bad for me,” he announced, nudging her shoulder with his. Emmy looked at him, raising an eyebrow in question.

“You’ve shown me how to be a good critic. When I retire from lock picking, I’ll become a world-renowned movie critic.” The grin on his face was absolutely silly and ridiculous. He knew he was full of crap, and he was enjoying it. So very Alfie. Emmy liked that about him.

“I think you’ve already got the world-renowned part down.” She referenced his super encrypted Instagram account. He had millions of followers for his pranks, dares, and utterly stupid, utterly dangerous adventures. Emmy had to admit that some of them made her nervous, even though she knew Alfie would be fine. The man didn’t know how to be anything but.

“Well, yeah, but not for being a movie critic. Not yet.” Alfie winked at her, and Emmy nudged his shoulder back. The brush of her bare arm against his shirt was nice. He was warm, his shirt was soft, and it was good to have a little human contact sometimes. She’d never really had close relationships outside of her family. She’d never wanted them either. She didn’t get a lot of interaction deeper than the surface because of that, but it was a little easier with Alfie. It was also nice when he would nudge her playfully or touch her in passing. It was soothing.

“You’re ridiculous,” Emmy scoffed, realizing she was taking too long to reply. Somehow, Alfie’s grin actually grew.

“And you love me for it.”

“Whatever! Just press play already.”

“Whatever you say, angel.”

Everlark Your Own Adventure - round 4???

Once upon a time three everlarkers (myself, @burkygirl and @peetabreadgirl ) came together to run a blog where we, along with a group of amazing co-writers, created stories based on choices that our beloved readers made - a choose your own adventure story for grown-ups. Who like smut. 

And it was a heck of a lot of fun.

Lots of agonizing over just the right set of circumstances to tantalize the readers, lots of debate from those readers over which choice was the best... just a lot of fun.

Everlark your own adventure produced three incredible stories before the blogrunners backed away for a break that extended a lot longer than we imagined.

But now there are a new crop of everlark readers and a whole bunch of really amazing new writers (as well as most of our incredible group of original writers). So, I’m writing today to gauge interest in a 4th round.

For those who weren’t around for the initial run, or who don’t remember it, our FAQ is here, and you can read the three amazing stories here:

Camp Mockingjay

Mockingjay Manor

Powder Keg

(or on the blog if you’d like to see how the voting happened...)

Let me know if you think this is something that you’d be interested in resurrecting, and please feel free to discuss with the class ;) And if anything is unclear or if you want more information, I’m only an ask away.
