winged rose for WIP Wednesday
So, this is the final part to my Hunger Games/Caryl Crossover
"As a reminder that the power of the Capitol extends over everyone, this year the tributes will be reaped from all citizens regardless of age. There will be no volunteers."
So this trilogy is based on the idea that the rebellion never happened, the victors weren't sent back into the arena, and the games carried on as normal. Carol is a previous winner, and the above is the rule for the 100th games (4th Quarter Quell)
And this is an extract from part 3 :)
Time had caught up, and tomorrow the Games would begin.
It had been a year since they’d first sought solace in each other’s arms, raw and desperate, two wounded souls finding shelter from a storm. He remembered it as if it had happened only yesterday— how he’d finally let himself break, every wall he'd built shattering all at once. How she'd pulled him close, leading him out of his own wreckage. How he’d begged her to stay afterward, afraid that if she left, he'd crumble for good. In a world that had stolen everything, she’d been a rare, brief moment of peace.
Her fingers found him now, soft but certain. They traced the sharp line of his jaw, then glided down the hollow of his throat. She moved slowly, like she was learning him all over again — collarbone, chest, stomach — each touch feather-light but steady. His breath hitched as her touch fluttered over his abdomen, heat pooling in his belly.
He slowly turned toward her, like anything sudden might shatter them both. Her eyes met his, raw and glistening, the tears gathering faster than she could wipe them away.
“Hey,” he said softly, rolling onto his side. He reached up, his palm cradling her cheek with a gentleness born of too much hurt. His thumb brushed across her cheekbone, slow and steady, his heart aching at her tears. “One day at a time, remember?”
Her breath came in a shaky exhale, and she nodded. But her voice was quiet and broken. “It’s been a year,” she whispered. “Since the last time I saw her.”
