Lucy Gray is plucking the strings of her guitar and humming to herself.
It is a beautiful, still warm mid-September day, she is in the roof garden, and the orangey light of the sunset forces her to keep her eyes closed as the music flows through her.
Images, words in poetry, sensations invade her and she has to let them out.
She does not feel him coming but, as always, sheĀ sensesĀ him. Lucy Gray smiles and turns her torso slightly and opens her eyes.
Coryo is there, watching her with a huge, love-filled smile on his lips. He has two heavy dark circles under his eyes - the result of his job as president, which robs him of too many hours of sleep - but his face is always beautiful and every time he looks at it Lucy Gray feels the butterflies in her stomach stir.
She has been very, very lucky. The stars have chosen well for her.
Today is a special day; there is a reason Lucy Gray went up to the roof, waiting for him. Today they are celebrating two months since their wedding, and Lucy Gray intends to ask a favor⦠No, a blessing.
Roses surround them, the only glimpse of nature she can find in Capitol City, the only one she can claim as her own. It is not the Coveys' lake - but the power of Mother Earth is quite the same, for in the roses their bond is cemented.
And the sunset, the sun dying in the sky.
Making way for the stars.
The hour of magic.
Lucy Gray has spent most of her life confined to District Twelve first and Capitol City later, but in her mind are held endless traditions; grandmothers' secrets passed down through music and poetry.Ā Rhymes to unravel the very threads of fate.
A direct contact with the universe.
She stops playing and places the guitar beside her. She does not get up from where she is sitting - in the middle of an empty flowerbed,Ā virgin soil under her skinĀ , the moment her clothes disappear.
She stretches out her arms.
Without a word, Coryo cancels the distance between them. He kneels before her, heedless of the elegant dress he is soiling. She encircles his neck and smiles on his mouth, after a small, lip-smacking kiss.
"Best wishes, gorgeous."
"Two months" he replies "I bought some chocolate and wine to celebrate" he continues "I expected to find you in the house".
"And instead".
"And instead" Coryo kisses her again, this time holding her by the waist with one arm, and with his free hand grabs her face. He sinks his tongue into her mouth and Lucy Gray welcomes him, as always "Why are we here, my love?"
Lucy Gray smiles, cunningly.
āBecause then the stars will witness us,ā she replies, mysterious as ever. She kisses him again and pulls him to her as she lies back down and in no time his hands are under her dress, their desire already ignited, their spirits seeking each other as well as their bodies, impatient.
In the magical space between the Before and the After, in the advancing twilight, Lucy Gray spreads her legs with her bare back pressed against the virgin earth and asks the stars for their blessing.
***
It is early June, on one of the first evenings when it really feels like summer, and the cool breeze is silent. It is hot, very hot.
Even hotter because Lucy Gray feels huge and heavy. Her back rests on Coryo's chest, they both sit in an empty flowerbed in the middle of the rooftop garden, while he gently massages her baby bump and tries to catch every tiny movement under her taut skin.
The sun is dying in the sky and Lucy Gray hums with closed lips, enjoying the last distant rays on her face, waiting for the moment when she can open her eyes and observe the sky again.
"That was a kick!" exclaims Coryo, excited, as their unborn child has well and truly decided to wake up and make its presence known.
Lucy Gray smiles and interrupts her song to giggle. The sun sets behind the walls of Capitol City and she opens her eyes again, looking for the stars in the sky.
The same stars that blessed everything: from their love, intertwining their lives, to the fruit of their passion, that day Lucy Gray completed her ritual.
Mother Earth and Father Sky.
Who poured life into her womb exactly when she asked for it.
She can't wait to give birth. She knows she should be scared - Coryo is definitely hysterical, alternating between sheer joy and terror like a spinning top gone mad, mindful of his own mother and the baby sister he lost but still happy with the fruit of their love;Ā impatient to see how their bodies mingled to give birth to their own flesh-and-blood childĀ - but the reality is she is just tired.
Tired, and huge, and short of breath, and unable even to bathe herself, having reached this point.
Lucy Gray sighs and resumes humming to herself, watching the stars become more and more defined against the gradually darkening sky.
She asks for one last grace, one last blessing.
That all is well.
Coryo leaves a light kiss in her hair and smiles, continuing to massage her belly and seek contact with their child.
The stars shine high in the sky.
And she knows that they have also answered this prayer.

Find the ao3 collection here!
You can upload uncensored art on ao3! (I see in the notes that someone offered to give you an ao3 invite, so hopefully things work out on that end!) š«¶
Many people donāt know this, but the archive is actually open to all type of fanworks, fanfic is just the predominant one because they donāt host images directly within the servers, which means you need to use an external image host - since my friend had the same problem I am now doing a āØpublic service announcement⨠hereās a tutorial for anyone wondering how to upload art on ao3! š«”
The first thing you want to do is find an image host website! This is the one I always use, but it is in French, so if you prefer, you can probably find some in English by searching up "free image hosting"
The images you sent there are only visible if you have the exact link, so no worries about random people seeing it! For anyone who doesnāt want to bother finding a different website, hereās how to use the one I linked: youāll want to click on the "Parcourir" button, and then select the picture of your choice, when thatās done, you can click on the big "valider" button! Once your image is hosted, theyāll offer you different version of the link, you want to grab the one in the second row, which will be your direct image link.
Next, in ao3, you want to paste this template,
add the link to it, and normally your art should be good to go!! (Note: DONT remove the quotation marks!)
noooooo my snowbaird smut week post got flagged :( what do i do
Sometimes just a touch is enough for both to understand each other perfectly:
@snowbaird-events 2024 AU fest day 6: Peacekeeper AU!!
Of course I had to take this opportunity to make a fanart of my favourite Peacekeeper AU, Chaos and control!!
If you have not yet;;;; GO READ IT RN as well as the following story The Summer of Chaos (which in my opinion, is even better!) - im not kidding when I say this is one of my ABSOLUTE top Snowbaird stories, (and Iāve read a lot of them)
"It's a shame I can't call you baby lieutenant anymore," she said. Coriolanus furrowed his brow in confusion, not understanding what she meant. "What?" "You've aged a lifetime," Lucy Gray said, and suddenly leaned forward and touched his lips with hers, and it took Coriolanus a second to understand what was happening, but he immediately leaned in, embracing her, pressing her to himself, and when they broke the kiss, he hugged her, and she embraced him back. And he felt the emptiness recede.
Iāve wanted to make this fanart ever since I first read that chapter; that scene of them kissing in the train was just so perfect to me; but at the time I definitely didnāt feel confident enough drawing them to attempt it, so Iām so happy to finally have gotten comfortable enough drawing them to actually make it a reality!!!
(I am aware heād probably be wearing a different uniform since heās an officer and all but to that I say SHUT UP LET ME LIVE šāāļø)
Reposting the link to the ao3 collection in case anyone needs it!!
I was examining a zoomed-in still of the meadow scene (with the purest of intentions I was looking at the embroidery pattern of LGās shirt bc I plan to make a plushie of her too) WHEN I MADE A VERY ESSENTIAL DISCOVERY and noticed that her shirt is translucent enough to see sheās wearing a lace bralette;;;; I was immediately so so normal about it of course š
(They fucked in that meadow I know this to be true)
Blog administered by @burntblueberrywaffles we will reblog events organized by other people as well as create our ownš„°
