2024 Snowbaird AU Fest

Only two weeks until the first run of the Snowbaird smut week!

SEEMS LIKE IT IS THANK GOD

WAIT IS THE CURSE OVER???

Day 2: Scars

There is nothing physically unattractive about a person. Even scars are beautiful. Scars tell a story, whatever it is. And that is beautiful.

She loves every inch of him, including the scars. Did you know, that the skin on such large scars is especially sensitive? Well, it is a great trust to let her touch her healed wound

Each time his macaque becomes more golden. I love this parallel.

Yes, he turned off the tablet on purpose, because he thought, he was being watched. So, he's pleasantly surprised, that it was love🥰

I love dæmon-AU so much, and I’ll do it until i get tired. If you are not familiar with dæmon-AU, you can read this short article: https://hisdarkmaterials.fandom.com/wiki/Dæmon

His Dark Materials

Dæmon

A dæmon /ˈdiːmən/ was the physical manifestation of a human soul in Lyra's world. Humans in other worlds had dæmons. However, they were invi

The second run of the 2024 Snowbaird AU fest is officially two weeks away!! We accepts all mediums, see our pinned post for more details and feel free to ask if you have any questions! 🫶

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!) 🫶

Many people don’t know this, but the archive is actually open to all type of fanworks, fanfic is just the predominant one because they don’t 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 ✨public service announcement✨ here’s a tutorial for anyone wondering how to upload art on ao3! 🫡

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 doesn’t want to bother finding a different website, here’s how to use the one I linked: you’ll want to click on the "Parcourir" button, and then select the picture of your choice, when that’s done, you can click on the big "valider" button! Once your image is hosted, they’ll 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,

<img src="LINK">

add the link to it, and normally your art should be good to go!! (Note: DONT remove the quotation marks!)

Snakes

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.
