Snowbaird Spotlight event 2025: submitted fanfics
She Looks Like The Real Thing, She Tastes Like The Real Thing by lysanderwarrior
Coriolanus is doing as fine as a struggling university student can be doing. He sleeps just a couple hours per night, works two jobs, tries to deal with the life he's been given and spends most of his time texting a girl he met online. Though, one day his routine is interrupted when the very same internet friend suggests meeting each other in real life. She lives in the same town as him, but there's no way he already knows her or happens to hate her… is there?

The play of songbirds and snakes by MitsukiSirya ( @mitsuki91 )
"Coriolanus stood in the midst of the destruction, the last book with the torn pages lying on the floor and the papers still swirling around him, his cheeks on fire and out of breath after all the physical exertion he hadn't realized he'd made, contemplating in shock the images that had sprung up in his head.
No.
He could never hurt Lucy Gray.
Not any more. Never again.
If she had been here in front of him, Coryo would only have wanted to kiss her."
Why they love it: "I love how unhinged and down bad Coryo is for Lucy Gray, this fic makes me giggle every time I read it <3"

Nothing Burns Like The Snow by evilweasel
Katniss always hated burns, though as a resident of District 12 – the District of coal mines and poverty – she’s intimately familiar with them. Hot, cruel, and shiny, it’s why she avoids the stove like the plague; takes to the shade in hot weather; prefers a chilled night to a blistering one. But when her father dies, she realises the feeling of snow burns just as terribly too. Yet in the midst of the snow she catches a tune on the wind. A silhouette in a rainbow dress. A poem from an old song. Lucy Gray has conquered the snow and come back through the blizzard, just to give her a glimpse of something called hope
Why they love it: "The writing is just so fantastic. It's not complete but I love rereading the chapters. It's writing style is just so fantastic"

Why they love it: "made me cry"
They fell in love in a dream (literally).
—
In a surveillance-obsessed totalitarian regime, Dr. Coriolanus Snow and his colleagues are part of a covert government dream study project designed to unlock, and ultimately control, the thoughts of every citizen.
Their mission is clear: Total control, a perfect society where rebellion is impossible. Among the cohort of forcibly recruited study participants is Subject 486. Her mind is an enigma, unpredictable, and impossible to pin down. As Dr. Snow ventures deeper into her dreams and thoughts, the more the lines blur between science and obsession, and he finds himself drawn into a strange and dangerous bond that transcends the physical realm.
Why they love it: "the story is so creative with its worldbuilding and i loved the concept of the dreamsharing within a dystopian society! the story was adventurous with unpredictable twists and such great intimacy and tension between snowbaird! every story by this author is FANTASTIC and so unique, but this is my favourite for sure!"
“Come with me.”
"What?" Lucy Gray tries to pull away, but his grip tightens.
“There's a transport leaving in less than thirty minutes. There should be extra space for you. If we wait, we're trapped.” Coriolanus’s eyes burn with intensity. “The tremors are just a warning before it all comes down.” He still doesn’t let go. “Come with me.”
—
How did Panem, the Capitol, and the Districts, come to be? It begins on a Wednesday in the fall of 2035, when the world ends.
Lucy Gray Baird barely survives the chaos, fleeing to a large-scale military bunker alongside her enigmatic neighbor, Coriolanus Snow, a man whose charm conceals ruthless ambition. In this new world, as the last remnants of North America’s leadership struggle to forge order from the ashes of the old world, Lucy Gray must decide whether love is her greatest refuge…or her most dangerous mistake.
Why they love it: "the chemistry is muwah muwah chef’s kiss and the world building my goodness amazing"
This Is Where You’ll Find Me by pinkandblue00
She had that feeling. That feeling she got before a big storm. The feeling she got right before a trader had pulled a knife on her and her ma at the Hob. The feeling she got right before the stove caught on fire.
The feeling that something was about to happen.
Call it instinct or call it a sixth sense, but Emmy always knew. She knew when danger was lurking. Her mind and body were screaming at her, aggressively sending her the signal, the warning.
Run. But Emery was frozen.
Fanola delicately unfolded the piece of paper, her eyes promptly surveying the name. Her smile widened and she leaned in closer into the microphone.
Run.
“Emery Blue Baird!”
Why they love it: "THE BEST SNOWBAIRD BABY STORY!!!! never fell in love with an oc so quickly, i love how incredible of a character emery blue is and how she's the perfect mix of snow and lucy gray! hoping so so so bad that the story continues to see them be a deranged family together, but i'm also still satisfied with the masterpiece we have already been given!"
Don't Keep the Devil Waiting by FrostedGemstones22 (@youngbloodlex22 )
Coriolanus Snow doesn't care about fleeting high-school relationships, classroom drama, or making friends.
All he cares about is restoring his family name to glory by winning the Plinth Prize.
Even the addition of some pathetic voucher students to the Academy can't distract him. It would be laughable that they'd ever get a shot at winning it, right?
Until...a twist is introduced.
To win the Plinth Prize, you must work in a team. And worse, it has to be with a scholarship student.
Coriolanus hates Lucy Gray. And she hates him.
But together, they might have a shot at it. They both would do anything to win.
