IM GOING TO FUCKING KMSSSSSSSS
IM REWATCHING THE HUNGER GAMES MOCKINGJAY PART TWO AND FINNICKKKKKKK
FINNICK DESERVED TO LIVEEEEE OUTTA EVERYONE HE DESERED TO LIVEEEE. MY FUCKING SICK MY STOMACH HURTS SEDATED MEEEEEE
an : i got this inspiration when i listened to the song and heard the hook part, and this plot just popped up in my head, so this is just smut and bad grammar. i know my grammar was bad. i'm gonna use the grammar corrector before posting this, but just so you know, english is not my first language.
we don't gotta be in love, no i don't gotta be the one, no i just wanna be one of your girls tonight
imagine, you, the daughter of a millionaire in a capitol, were invited to a party where, of course, Finnick was there since he's getting paid (or invited?) to be here, and of course he's a star, a shining star, stealing everyone's attention the first moment he steps in.
your eyes can't even leave his figure—his tall, muscular figure and you know damn well you want him, just like any girl does. i mean who wouldn't? but you also know that this is not love. it's a want, a desire. you just need him, his body, his service. it's clear that you did not want him as your lover or groom, to you, you only need him to be in your bed just tonight. a simple one-night stand thing.
so you did get what you wanted. his hand on your hips, his back against yours, while he whispers praise into your ear. "you're such a good girl" "you did it so well" "you feel so good" that goddamn thing you know he probably said that to others since it was to make his customer feel good and you did not care at all. it makes you feel good, and that's enough. you don't care who got to hear that from him too, this moment is just you and him.
his cock was inside you, making you feel like heaven, his thrust made you see stars. now you understand why he gets called 'Capitol Sweetheart' because he really knows how to make his customers satisfied.
you moan—the loudest moan that ever made it way out of your throat—no one has ever made you feel as good as Finnick did. just from the way he gave you an oral in the beginning, it was enough to make you know this night would be replaying in your head for a long time.
his hand found its way to your clit, making you feel like you were going to explode in any minute. his hot breath against your skin and how he said "cum for me, darling" were just so perfect. his thrust fastened as if he knew you're so close to climax, and he's right, just having his hard cock inside you was almost enough to make you cum right there, and Finnick knew that too, but of course, since it was his service, he's continued fucking you even though he knows you won't last long.
and when this night ended, he let you hold him until the sunrise (another customer service for sure), and when you did say goodbye to him, he just walked out with that fucking smirk on his face. getting to know your secret was probably his favorite way to get paid from his customer, after all.
( another an : i feel so guilty writing this, but i hope you can understand what i'm trying to write lol. my first smut in english and it's already so fucked up lmao )
Maze’s Victory outfit from Chapter 16 of Unto the Labyrinth!!! Commissioned from @maitaitiu ❤️
“So, Maze,” Caesar began once everyone was situated, “How does it feel, being back in the Capitol and knowing you’re the Victor of the 57th Hunger Games?”
“I…” Maze began. Everyone was silent, clinging on to her every word. “It…it doesn’t quite feel real. Like a dream.”
It was the truth. Nothing quite felt real anymore.
“You’re living the dreams of many people, Miss Donahue,” Caesar replied. “I hope you realize that.”
“It’s more of a nightmare, really.”

Summary: “Maze Donahue always thought she would be lonely forever. No one wanted to be friends with a troublesome orphan with a penchant for pranks. But when the unthinkable happens and she is Reaped for the 57th Hunger Games, she is shocked to find people taking an interest in her for the first time ever - the Capitol, her mentor Beetee, and even other tributes. She must deal with the impermanence of this social support, including the deaths of her allies, and try to survive the horrors of the Hunger Games and all that comes afterwards.
But no matter what, she won’t ever be alone again.”
The world in front of her was so blurry that she couldn't see Beetee's facial expression. “I'm sorry, Maze.”
“I can't do it.” Her voice broke. “I don't want to—I can't—be the Victor!”
There. She said it. The V word, in reference to herself.
Beetee's words softened even more. “I'm so sorry.”

Summary: “Side POVs and story tidbits from the world of "Unto the Labyrinth" and the 57th Hunger Games, up through Chapter 11. Previous reading encouraged but not required.
[Tributember 2024, credit goes to @sunnyjustice for the prompts!]”
NEVER MIND I MANAGED TO WORK THE NEW LORE INTO UNTO THE LABYRINTH
WE ARE SAVED
So, upon reading Sunrise on the Reaping, I’d like to congratulate Unto the Labyrinth for officially now being canon-divergent and an AU.
I’m a little pissed that SotR messed up UtL’s story trajectory so bad, especially with Beetee, but whatever.
I’ll release an official statement when I post the next chapter of Unto the Labyrinth

As they turned a corner, another familiar voice rang out.
“Here she is! Our shining star herself!”
Philomena stood at the end of the corridor, a giddy grin on her face, next to Harmonia, Troy, and the members of Maze’s prep team. Philomena was unchanged, donning her usual skintight bodysuit and pink pigtails, as was Harmonia.
Philomena rushed forward and engulfed Maze in a hug. “Maze! Oh, I can’t believe it! Victor of the 57th Hunger Games!” It might have been the lighting, but Maze swore she saw tears in Philomena’s made-up eyes. “Congratulations, dear.”
I am doing these for the month of November featuring side POVs from Unto the Labyrinth! I’ll post them when they’re up!

No need to have read it to take it! Let me know who you all get :)
Soon, the plate beneath Maze’s feet began rising, taking her with it. The tunnel plunged Maze into darkness, and she gulped, nausea clenching her stomach.
This was it.
Thirty seconds later — which felt like an eternity to Maze; the launch room must have been deep underground— she emerged into bright light. She blinked a few times, before taking in the sight of the arena before her.

Anxiety overtook Maze. She thumbed her ring, fingers trembling.
She was up.
Finally, the applause for the District 2 boy began dying down, and someone wearing all black at the side of the stage motioned to Maze, indicating she was next.
She sat up straight and prepared to stand up, moving her thumb over her ring one last time. Her heart pounded in her chest.
“And now, for someone who we’ve been curious about since her Reaping, and even more curious about since the tribute parade,” Caesar announced. “The one and only, Maze Donahue, from District 3!”
Maze took a deep breath, stood up, and walked out onto the stage to thunderous applause.

Beetee’s hollow, despaired eyes at his final interview would not leave her mind. The eyes of a man — no, a boy — who had just witnessed an entire week full of horrors. The eyes of a boy who knew that out of the twenty-four sent into the arena, he was the sole survivor. The eyes of a boy who had to live with the fact that he had murdered six other teenagers.
Now, across the table, a calm, collected man sat and ate his dinner. There was no trace of the despair he once had anywhere on him.
Maze wondered just how Beetee had learned to live with it all. How he managed to compartmentalize his negative emotions and memories from the Games. Or if he hadn’t and just learned to mask it well.
She wanted to know what made him tick.

Her head was still in her hands when she stepped out of the elevator, causing her to nearly run into Beetee. He had been waiting for her at the elevator.
“How did it go?”
“I followed the plan,” Maze replied, not even trying to mask the despair in her voice. “But then I messed it all up.”
“Oh? What happened?”
Maze bit her lip. “I gave the dummy a stupid voice.”
Beetee raised an eyebrow.
“You gave the dummy a…stupid voice?” He couldn’t hide the astonishment in his own voice.

Here, have a snippet from Unto the Labyrinth, my Hunger Games OC fic
The cameras cut to Maze posing and acting cute, as well as some of the crowd’s reactions to her. They seemed enthralled by Maze’s actions.
Caesar chortled. “Ho ho, the crowd is just eating Miss Donahue up! And she’s eating them up, it seems. Adorable! I cannot believe this is the same girl who was yelling and cursing at her Reaping. She did a complete one-eighty!”
“I don’t know, Caesar,” Melia replied, clicking her tongue. “She’s posing and acting like you’d expect from someone from a Career district. District 3 tributes are not nearly prestigious enough to show off like that. Like, come on, you’re District 3. They’ve only had like what, four Victors in fifty-seven years? It’s cringeworthy, in my opinion. This girl obviously thinks she’s much hotter shit than she actually is, excuse my language.”
Maze, biting into a giant fried animal leg, let out an indignant noise.
That bitch!
Troy laughed. “Ha! Told you so!”
Caesar looked taken aback. He gave his co-host a side-eyed glance. “Well, that’s certainly an opinion.”
The two commentators moved on as District 4’s chariot appeared on-screen.
“I never liked Melia Ferrero,” Philomena commented, cutting up her meat with her knife and fork. “She always has something negative to say about everybody and everything. People like her are absolutely exhausting.”
She glanced pointedly at Troy as she said that. He didn’t seem to notice, jovially continuing to scarf down his food.
Happy birthday to Maze Donahue from Unto the Labyrinth!

This is a rewrite and continuation of a fic called “Lonely Girl of 3” that I wrote back in 2014!
The original fic can be found on both AO3 and FFN!
thinking about mags flanagan, the silent living victor of the 11th hunger games and how she walked into her death for revolution. thinking about lucy gray baird, the singing dead victor of the 10th hunger games and how she ran from it for the same.
thinking about finnick odair. thinking about primrose everdeen. thinking about johanna mason. thinking about coriolanus snow.
😭😭😭
One thing about Coryo is the fact that he never stopped losing the IDGAF war, like even 64 years after the ballad that man is essentially on his death bed and instead of getting himself treatment he decides that beefing with a teenager is more important
PEETA MY POOKIE-WOOKIE
ma shaylas
IM SOBBING CRYING THROWING UP
"You're not going home, Silka."
I will kill her, and Snow will kill me.
These Games will have no victor.
Because to Snow, Lucy Gray is an ideal. She's a picture perfectly representing what Snow should have had, what he deserved. And that's what still haunting him. The thought that the same picture may be forever unattainable.
But to Haymitch, Lenore Dove is everything. She is his age, and she grows and morphs as he grows and morphs. She is his other half. She's not a picture, no, she's a book that keeps growing.
To Snow, Lucy Gray is forever the same 16-year-old girl who ~betrayed~ him, and she haunts him accordingly. But Lenore Dove ages and grows gray alongside Haymitch, like she’s walking next to him through the years instead of lying in her grave. If you even care.
Madge: *thinking about the Mockingjay pin* I'm gonna give this to a girl, then MAYBE she'll like me and realize how fucking gay I am for her. also haha screw you Gale she didn't wear anything you gave her
Katniss *thinking about the Mockingjay pin*: Wow this was Madge’s aunt’s, what a precious and valuable family heirloom, it must have been special to her, I’ll treasure it forever.
Maysilee *thinking about the Mockingjay pin*: this bird is ugly and stupid I’m literally never going to wear this.
so i was online and saw some insatiable freaks (jk love you guys) thinking about the next hunger games book ALREADY. Because, it's clear to us now that it's not just one main serie or one main series and an antagonistic prequel. no. suzanne is diving in depth to various aspects of dictatorship and dystopia, all centered around this world in Panem
it'll be a few years before she even thinks of releasing another hunger games book but i think something like a plutarch one makes the most sense, or something exploring what's outside the districts in some way. I honestly thought on some level THAT was going to be what sunrise on the reaping was about, how the capitol utilized propaganda to hide the rest of the outside world because we were hinted at that in thg and tbosas. I would absolutely love one switching perspectives (which we've never seen!) between 1st and 3rd, and between plutarch and some like long lost rebel from before the dark days (if only).
Because it's really, really obvious that there was/is some level of contact with an outside world even after the collapse of civilization that apparently only left Panem intact. I'll reblog later with my full theory and all of my evidence because i have quite a lot of evidence and a pretty strong theory if i do say so myself
REALLL
(fuck i can't even say real without it being a hunger games reference)
okay i finished sotr already. that shit was life-ruining. suzanne collins is a genius and i am forever indebted to her. i think i need to read it again.
Haymitch being all "I'm an ally" and Clerk Carmine being all "you're a loser" lol
