officially only a week left until the start of the Snowbaird au fest event!!! (See our pinned post for all the details!)
Tonight, tonight won't be just any night.
Tonight, there will be no morning star…
Tonight, tonight I'll see my love tonight.
And for us, stars will stop where they are…
Today, the minutes seem like hours
The hours go so slowly and still, the sky is light…
Oh moon, grow bright and make this endless day,
endless night
Song lyrics — West Side Story 2021, “Quartet”.
I didn't make arts to the challenge on time, cause, to be honest, I drew all arts for lectures before exams, but I’ll definitely finish this.

The second run of the Snowbaird smut week will be taking place August 4 to August 10, but in the meantime, we’re officially announcing the next event cooked up by our discord server: The Snowbaird AU fest! (The official prompt list will be announced later!)
Like with the smut week event, we will be doing two runs! If you are too busy to participate in one of them, you can always do the other (or both if you feel like it!)
The first run will take place from September 22 to 28, and to celebrate the first anniversary of the movie release, the second run will take place from November 17 to 23!!!
As usual, for any questions or concerns, DMs and asks are open!
Just before ao3 goes down... I posted the first story for the Snowbaird smut week (I am laaaaate I know).
Prompt: virginity
Enjoy! 🥰

Not everyone can attend the Covey holidays, especially outsiders, but Snow should thank the stars, that he was chosen by the girl, leading the group! Although, he is not particularly interested in the culture. He wondered under “what pretext Lucy Gray would agree to step away from the crowd a little, so, that he would not have to control himself and pretend, that he was interested in anyone other than Baird?”
Just in case, I'll give an explanation:
dæmon <<<>>> owner
Lucy Gray - mockingjay
Coriolanus Snow - “golden” Javanese macaque
Clark Carmine - falcon
Maud Ivory - squirrel (while shapeshifting)
Barb Azure - eagle
Tam Amber - seagull
Children in most "Eastern+" cultures can't wear red. Even though Lucy Gray’s dæmon had a permanent form for a long time, she in the picture is already 18 years old. Yes, it's AU, and yes, because "I fight demons" and need them to be the same age or at least in the "18yo--20yo" state

Ok will make a proper introduction post later but the essential is that I ( @burntblueberrywaffles ) was talking about fandom events with the Snowbaird discord besties and got way too excited so…. here’s a shiny new blog!!
Goodmorning! Today is a wonderful day to write another prompt u.ù
As usual I tag @snowbaird-events and @burntblueberrywaffles 😘💖
Lucy Gray has always had a natural talent for turning her pain into poetry and her poetry into music and, through it, leading herself towards healing.
However, it seems impossible for her to do this with the Hunger Games, with what happened to her in the arena. The only song she has ever produced on the subject is actually the love song she composed for Coryo, and only to thank him for saving her.
Her nightmares therefore have no way of changing.
In her nightmares, the huge shrine shatters and a shower of colorful snakes is immediately enveloping her. Lucy Gray sings, and sings, but her voice fails, and her words become garbled, and she forgets the lyrics. She knows she will be bitten if she stops singing. She also knows that she has lost, that her tongue twists in her dry mouth, and that she can do nothing more to stop the inevitable.
She wakes every time with a gasp - she cannot scream, with her throat so closed - and then is unable to go back to sleep, even when her heart stops hammering in her chest.
For a long time she thought she would never get rid of the nightmare. She cannot face it with music, so how can she transform it and let it go?
It is Coryo who suggests the idea to her one day. Or rather, it is Coryo who takes her to visit the reptile house, after asking for her consent, of course.
Lucy Gray goes through the snake cabinets, admires them and reads all the cartouches, and is fascinated. She knows. She knows that snakes were once her friends. She knows that she too used them to attack.
She convinces Coryo to convert a room in the house into a reptile house. She starts buying and collecting snakes; she studies everything she needs to take the best care of them. She even goes as far as breeding them, researching rare colors.
Most of those snakes are harmless, innocent ; she can pick them up without any drama, she often lays them on her shoulders - she adorns herself with them - and trots around the house with them.
Some, however, are poisonous, to be handled with care. They are the ones she sings for, they are the ones she must learn to love. They are the ones from which she extracts the poison for her Coriolanus. Lucy Gray does not ask - she no longer asks - but she knows. She has decided to make her peace with it.
The Hunger Games no longer exist, after all, and she is convinced that the main push for this was the mysterious death of Dr. Gaul, which surely occurred because of some experiment gone wrong in her lab.
Slowly, as weeks turn into months and months become years, her recurring nightmare also changes. The rainbow-coloured snakes are always enveloping her, and she loses her voice... But, now Lucy Gray knows, they will never hurt her. She surrenders, Lucy Gray, as the hard stone beneath her back turns into a soft mattress, and the carpet of snakes spiraling above her becomes a blanket of sheets, ready to protect her. To make her feel safe.
After all, as long as the snakes are with her, no one can touch her. Not Mayor Lipp, dead now for years, and not the politics of Capitol City, who continue to see her as a District savage who has corrupted the good name of the Snows.
Lucy Gray is quiet and serene as she learns to sleep protected by snakes.
And, when she opens her eyes and turns her head, emerging into the world, she realizes that the only real, living snake always sleeps beside her: Coriolanus Snow, president of all Panem and her future husband, who always keeps his promise to protect her and save her from all evil and turns the nightmare into a wonderful dream.
