we all know the snows’ infamous catchphrase “snow lands on top”

i’m currently rereading catching fire and i came across this part where katniss is making up a lie about hearing a forcefield, and one of the examples she uses of enhanced hearing since the capitol reconstructed her ear:

when i came back across this part i almost SCREAMED, this right here is so symbolic because it is the first instance within the 75th hunger games where katniss is taking a real instance in using the capitol, thereby also snow, against itself. she turns a skill she learned from fellow tributes into a conspiracy that can be used to turn suspicions on capitol doctors. and this THIS!!!! is the start of the sound of snow falling for the first time since dean highbottom 65 years ago. after years of a torturous reign of snow landing on top, katniss is able to plant that seed of snow hitting the ground

#i don’t know if i’m just crazy and seeing nonexistent parallels but this seems too perfect to be a coincidence #the hunger games #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #catching fire #katniss everdeen #coriolanus snow #president snow #quarter quell #dean casca highbottom #suzanne collins let me shake your hand #just absolutely brilliant

That’s it. Here are my personal Top 10 favorite TBOSAS fanfics to read on the weekends.

PS: Most of them were published even before the trailer for the upcoming movie premiered.

So here are my recommendations:

1. The Plinth Prize by Redex

This oneshot is a certified classic angsty Snowjanus/SnowPlinth fic. And honestly, this is why I support my fellow SnowPlinth shippers, cuz this story could definitely replace the last 3 chapters of TBOSAS and I wouldn’t even question it.

2. Nothing to lose by HopelessRomantikk

This oneshot is another Snowjanus/SnowPlinth fic. However, this one is quite romantically sweet as cinnamon with lots of kisses. Just play the song Say Yes to Heaven by Lana Del Rey in the background and you’re good to go.😘

3. Reflections of the Garden by madzdolin

This one is an angsty SnowBaird fic that actually gives you one of the best bittersweet endings ever. It also gave the readers a proper closure to Coryo’s relationship with both Lucy Gray and Sejanus. You might even cry a little when you read the last chapter. Just saying~.😚

4. Saving Each Other by flipflop_diva

This oneshot is one of those unique SnowBaird fics that gives the readers a good “What if” scenario to seriously think about, cuz in this AU, Coryo doesn’t escape the Arena with Sejanus. So he’s basically stuck with Lucy Gray as another “tribute,” until they both won by waiting and poisoning everybody else. And yes, Reaper was not amused.

5. You Complete Me by gaytriforce

This oneshot is another classic Snowjanus/SnowPlinth confession fic. Moreover, I really loved the simple way of how they got together. And to be honest, this short fic could replace the whole Peacekeeper arc and I wouldn’t even notice the change.

6. Pursuit Predation by evaerobics

This oneshot is that rare Snowjanus/SnowPlinth AU fic that deserves another 50 chapters. It basically gives the readers a “What if” scenario where Coryo was chosen to Mentor District two’s male Tribute, Sejanus Plinth. And yes, Sejanus kissed Coryo in front of his classmates before entering the Capitol Arena.

7. The last two loves of his life by boneslen

This one is a good bittersweet angsty SnowBaird/SnowPlinth fic. Basically, Lucy Gray was forced to become an Avox by Dr. Gaul. Sejanus is still dead. And Coryo is busy having a mental breakdown every second of the day. The newly elected President of Panem just really wants both his girlfriend and boyfriend back, ok. The Bi-panic is real with this one.

8. Roses and Nutmeg by PliaPlia

This Snowjanus/SnowPlinth oneshot features a very stressed out malnourished AF Coryo, who became quite ill because he keeps giving away his food to a very busy Tigris. Seriously, somebody give the poor cabbage boy some soup. Sejanus, call your Ma and feed your future boyfriend.

9. Feverish Dreams by Cordeliadumaurier

Let’s just agree that this long ass SnowBaird fic has the craziest story of the season. I mean, the revenge plot alone is amazing, and every single character is insane in their own way, even Lucy Gray. Moreover, everyone is just borderline obsessed with Coryo’s dead dad, Crassus Snow. Even dead Dean Casca Highbottom was freaking in love with Snow’s dead dad! So yeah, they’re all obsessed, depressed, and crazy. Everyone needs therapy, but Snow still lands on top. #Crasca4ever

10. The Sound of Snow Falling by PRES_CS_HGT

This HG/TBOSAS fic is one of my personal favorites. The plot alone is great and unique in its own way, because it features a very young and confused 5’4 and a half Coryo Snow waking up after the end of the Second Rebellion. Also, the new President, Alma Coin wants to place him inside the Arena as a Tribute for the crimes he doesn’t even remember committing. And his assigned Mentor, Katniss Everdeen hates him for some reason. And what the heck happened to Tigris?! Why is she so old?! And why does she look like a literal tiger?! Who knows, Coryo Snow.

Special Mention:

1. I’m so sorry, Coryo by HopelessRomantikk

Basically, this features Sejanus Plinth’s angsty POV in TBOSAS, and how he was secretly in love with Coryo Snow since forever. However, he still meets the same fate here.

2. The needle in the brain by Sweetlit

This TBOSAS AU fic is already wild and spicy like some Lana Del Rey album. The plot alone is great and full of mysteries. Moreover, this story’s “What if” scenario features a very desperate and depressed Coryo Snow seducing a heartbroken Dean Casca Highbottom to let him stay in the Capitol after winning the Hunger Games. And let’s just agree that if ever Crassus Snow reads this fic, he might as well burn Panem to the ground.

3. The Hanging Tree by SirFanfic

This oneshot features a regretful Coryo Snow, who decided to have a last minute change of heart and saved Sejanus from being hanged.

I saw the movie and now I’m reading TBOSAS and it occurs to me that Gaul’s treatment of Snow is probably directly related to Highbottom’s history with his father.

Highbottom believes Snow should be punished for the sins of his father (inventing the games/sharing his idea to create the games). Highbottom goes out of his way to make Snow vulnerable, driving him to act desperately and take any advantage he can get, even if that means playing right into Gaul’s hands.

Gaul knows this. She’s sadistic, and she enjoys corrupting Snow. By pumping Snow for ways to keep the games fresh, she also gets to twist the knife for Highbottom, using Snow to reenact his father’s betrayal of Highbottom and Highbottom’s own greatest regret (having the idea of the games/“improving” upon them). Highbottom stays doped up to escape from the guilt, making him a less effective opponent of the games and, by extension, Gaul’s position in power.

After all, without the games, there’s no need for a gamemaker and eventually people will move on from the war and they might not need a war science division, either.

I think the introduction of the capitol students as mentors was probably Highbottom’s idea. And it’s a good one, if you want to get rid of the games once and for all. As Coriolanus observes at the first zoo appearance, people prioritize the things that make their children comfortable/happy. The games couldn’t continue if the children of capitol elite became traumatized by them.

It’s also just important to remember that, while Snow isn’t a good person at the start of the book, he’s not evil. He’s traumatized, petty, and obsessed with survival but he doesn’t go out of his way to torment people and he doesn’t relish others’ pain.

But his obsessive nature (and his need for praise and attention) blinds him to Gaul’s manipulation as she leads him down the wrong path. The writing is on the wall, too: At the start of the book, Snow acknowledges his single-mindedness as his greatest weakness.

It’s so frustrating because there are moments where we can see his potential as an agent of change. When he visits Lucy Gray the first time, when he eats with her—that could have been the beginning of a revolution. But Gaul sees that, disarms Snow before he can become a threat to her status quo, and turns him into her tool instead.

And it only works because Coriolanus feels he has no where else to turn partly thanks to Highbottom.

I’m not excusing Snow, because ultimately he made every single one of those choices on his own, but FUCK, no wonder he loses his mind in the end.

#me speaks #tbosas #coriolanus snow #dean casca highbottom #volumina gaul #suzanne collins knows her shit #snow is SUCH an interesting character
