Summary: Stealing from The Capitol is a deadly offense, yet you’ve done it more times than you can count but when you do something you should not have done, Volumnia Gaul decides a fate for you that might just be worse than death.

Notes: This takes place post The Ballad of Songbirds And Snakes and Coryo is in his last year at The University, studying under Dr. Gaul. This will not follow canon, I’m not an expert on all the lore so I apologize if I get things wrong.

Disclaimer: You know Coriolanus is a POS, I know Coriolanus is a POS, please don’t yell at me because this is just a fun little story, something for thee hotties, and  if you feel that strongly against President Snow, please let me know if you’d like me to sign you up for tessarae.

trigger warnings for blood, vomit, injuries.

We are finally at the end, wow, this has been so much fun. I'm still a little unsure about this ending but I just want to say thank you for reading over these past few months, thank you so much.

  “And we’re back with our President and First Lady to be! It’s so good to see you both smiling after such a tragic time.” Lucky Flickerman beamed into the camera.

    “Thank you for having us Lucky and thank you to everyone watching at home.” You said with a soft smile, taking Coriolanus’ hand in yours.  In return, Coriolanus lightly kissed your knuckles and the studio audience cooed in response.

    “Let's get down to why we are all here, shall we?  It’s been three long and sad months since that fateful day and what a day it was. I should know, I was there and vomited all over my favorite suit!”

    “It really was a great suit, Lucky.” Coriolanus chimed in, earning a  laugh from the audience. 

  “Tell us, Coriolanus, what was it like in those moments?  We’ve all seen the footage of you cradling your beautiful wife, the danger, the drama! In your own words, tell us and everyone watching at home, about your wedding day.”

With a last look at you, Coriolanus Snow, husband, murder, and President-elect of Panem, opened his mouth and began to speak.

The night before his wedding, Coriolanus Snow was not in search of a final fling before an eternity of matrimonial bliss nor was he drinking himself into a stupor to bid his old life behind.  

When he kissed you goodbye after your long important walk and talk, he watched you get into the waiting car, shut the blinds and got to work. Crassus Snow’s record player crackled to life and with a sonata filling the apartment, Coriolanus surveyed the upwards of hundreds of champagne bottles on the dining room table.

He had not lied, if you asked him to burn down Panem, he would fetch a match yet after tomorrow, that would not be necessary.

For you, he would poison his wedding guests and murder President Ravinstill.

And for him, but that's besides the point.

As night turned to dawn, Coriolanus packed the champagne, the scent of apples and rosewater hiding the danger beneath. His guests would get something of his own collection, sweet and light, just enough to make them vomit and collapse, enough chaos to distract from the main attraction.

For President Ravinstill, he would not stray from tradition.

Nightlock.

Not just nightlock berries ground with a mortar and pestle, that was lazy, noticeable.  Every little piece of the berry was used, sprinkled in with champagne already designated for the soon to be former president. 

He watched, oh how he watched Ravinstill, take flute after flute upon his arrival. 

Yet at the very end, the person whom Coriolanus wanted at his side to witness the end of an era was currently unconscious on the floor beneath him.

Coriolanus Snow, with all his careful planning and plotting, had lost.

It had been two minutes since you had stopped talking, one minute since you stopped breathing and ten seconds since Coryo had tried another dose of the antidote. Coriolanus looked to the purpling corpse of Ravinstill, face frozen in death, and refused to let him win. 

There was no Panem with you.

    “ Not yet, Mrs. Snow.”

 “Coryo!”

A small gasp and the click clack of heels brought Coriolanus out his head and back to you as Tigris came running into the room. He had made sure Tigris was away from the venue before the champagne was served  by simple timing but now he was glad to have her here by his side.

    “Coryo, Coriolanus? Is she-

  He did not, could not, answer that. 

    Coriolanus brushed tears back and gave you another rescue breath, watching your chest rise and fall with his help only to remain just as still.  He checked for a pulse again, felt that weak irregular beat beneath his fingertips starting to slow.

Please don’t go, he whispered.

     “Coryo, I can hear sirens, we have to get her outside.” Tigris urged, voice thick with tears and Coriolanus was vaguely aware of himself pressing his lips to your forehead before gently picking you up. It all became real in that moment and Coriolanus began to run. 

The sight in front of him was more horrific than he had imagined to be with his wedding guests in various states of consciousness and the pungent aroma of vomit and blood wafting through the venue. Peacekeepers and medics were beginning to swarm the area and  with you in his arms, Coriolanus remembered there was still a part of his work that needed to be executed.

    “Help, somebody help! There’s something wrong with my wife, I don’t know what’s happening but President Ravinstill, he’s back there, he’s collapsed! I tried to help him but-” Coriolanus broke off, false tears in his eyes as he shook his head at the listening medic. The medic nodded at two other medics and peacekeepers who ran towards where Tigris was pointing. 

  Coriolanus reluctantly let the medics take you before following them into the ambulance himself without a word, barely hearing Tigris’ promise to meet him at the hospital.  Alarms and instructions between medics faded away as he squeezed your hand.

Please don’t go.

At some point, a shrill monotone sound invaded Coryo’s ears and it was then and only then that he let himself splinter. There was more noise and action around your body and unable to hold your hand, Coriolanus curled in himself, hands in his hair, caught between suffocating fear and such incredible rage.

The ambulance came to a stop at Capitol Hospital and all Coriolanus could do was watch a nurse climb onto the gurney take over compressions and let that same gurney carrying Panem’s possibly dead next first lady pass him and race inside.

Only then when standing alone did Coryo care to notice that the inside of his mouth was stinging, letting his tongue pass over the beginnings of a bloody sore. Every time he had breathed for you, what remained of the poison on your lips traveled to his own. 

The taste of blood in his mouth was nothing new to Coriolanus. 

There would be no Panem without you, all would crumble and perish before him, there would be no capitol, no games, just the end of all.

Coriolanus Snow had made up his mind: should you pass this day, Panem would know the dark days once more.

   “I’ve never been more afraid in my life, Lucky. If I could go back and save our dear President Ravinstill too, I would have done more, I should have done more, there was just so much happening.  I couldn’t lose my wife, without her I would lose myself.” Coriolanus broke off, a small sob escaping him and the audience was more than happy to lick up his grief.

 With a soft kiss on his cheek, you guided his hand from your thigh to your stomach with a smile.

Lucky loudly blew into a hanky before gasping when he saw Coriolanus’ hand on your stomach.

   “Mrs. Snow, is there something you’d like to share with us?”

   “Because of Coriolanus,  the extraordinary medical team at Capitol Hospital, and the support of Panem, I’m still here and I’m so happy to announce I’m pregnant.”

The audience roared and it was then you knew the girl from District 6 had all of Panem in the palm of your hand.

But there were games left to play.

FIVE MONTHS LATER

  “Ma, if you can hear me, squeeze my hand.” You urged, your hand wrapped around hers, tears in your eyes. 

A few long seconds later, your mother weakly squeezed your hand, the same as your Pa the day before.  

You were taking it slow but the doctors promised they would fully wake any day now and pre- inauguration press and third trimester be damned, you would be at their side the moment they opened their eyes.

You kissed your mother on her forehead, promising to come back tomorrow. 

But now, you had a very special appointment.

   “Little thief, you’re glowing! How can I be of service?” Dr. Gaul looked up from her research with that all too familiar venomous smile.

  “I just wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done in aiding my parents’ recovery. The doctors say they will wake up any day now.” You said, taking the seat she offered.

   “How wonderful! It’s good to hear my favorite lab rats are on the mend. Hopefully seeing their daughter pregnant and married won’t send them right back into a coma.” 

 You gave a hollow laugh but sat up in your chair.

  “ They’ll be happy to know I’m still alive.  I almost wasn’t, as you well know. It took the doctors so long to treat me, they couldn’t figure out why I was so much sicker than everyone else. So many tests were run and even now they still don’t know.”

  “Have you asked Mr. Snow? He’s always had such an insight into poison.” Dr. Gaul remarked pointedly. 

It was no secret that Coriolanus was involved in Ravinstill’s death but thanks to your dramatic yet romantic near death experience being caught on camera, Panem did not care.

  “ I would but he’s been so busy touring the districts, preparing for the inauguration. Speaking of, there’s something I need to tell you, actually it’s easier if I show you.” 

 One of your security detail came forward and turned on Gaul’s television. 

Lucky Flickerman came on to the screen excitedly, a breaking news banner beneath him and to his right sat Coriolanus.

  “ Mr. President, I’ll cut to the chase, my producers have told me you have something to share with the fine people of Panem? ” Lucky asked, bouncing on the edge of his chair.  Coriolanus smiled into the camera, hands folded on his lap.

   “To honor the tragic death of former President Ravinstill and to celebrate the upcoming arrival of our daughter, the First Lady and myself would like to announce the suspension of The Hunger Games this year.”

Last night, you had asked Coriolanus if would rather be feared than loved.

This was his answer.

You couldn’t hear the TV due to the rather dramatic shrieking of Volumnia Gaul.

As if on cue, peacekeepers entered Dr. Gaul’s lab began to take it apart, boxing up research, emptying cabinets and Dr. Gaul herself stood in front of you, laughing.

  “I underestimated you, little thief. Will you kill me now or televise it?” She asked, head held high as two peacekeepers appeared on either side of her.

You stood up from your chair slowly to face the now former Head Gamemaker.

  “I don’t need to kill you. You tortured and poisoned my parents and through your puppet Ravinstill tried to kill me, death is an afternoon treat for you. I want you to witness the future of Panem, witness them forget your creations the more time passes, and one day, when someone asks what The Hunger Games were for, the answer will be simple: nothing. From now until the day you die you will remember me not as a hostage or the wife of a President, but as the little thief who stole your greatest treasure, your legacy.”

Your time with Dr. Gaul ended in the place where it all began.

If only she had chosen a girl of fine capitol breeding.

EPILOGUE

One week after the presidential inauguration of Coriolanus Snow, Rose Snow comes into the world screaming, Coriolanus holding your left hand and your mother holding your right.

Once upon a time, you had three rules.

Never be seen.

Never take what you could not carry.

Never intervene.

Now you only have one.

To live without fear, now and forever. 

Thank you to everyone who has been waiting, I hope that this was worth the wait! Thank you all for reading and I’m so happy this is out now. If you would like to see a sequel to connubium, please interact and reblog this work!

early mugenro thoughts:

so the main thing I don’t understand is why Cybird decided to make this game like a mobile app from 10-15 years ago. the music, sound effects, and interface graphics are SO dated. it makes it seem low budget. which is super disappointing bc the sprites, cards, and photos are breathtaking.

but the other factors make the app seem low quality… even the MC and setting. like eeeeevery low quality mobile game has a brunette shy office worker as the MC who is just starting out her career. the cliches remind me of my first crappy mobile otome games like Seven Hotties all my Husbands (and other Arithmetic games).

and like, the music and sound effects are major factors- I doubt they’ll ever change them. but I really think it was a bad choice by the dev team.

but I’m sure I’ll like all the smut just the same though (and that’s the most important part)

[royal-shining]

Is the game discontinued? I'm going to be so mad if it is😭😭😭😭😫

With the international versions, more or less. IDK about the Japanese version. You can read all of the routes they have released up to Rintaro and Minami's sequel. They were still occasionally re-releasing the old gacha, but as for events and new gacha, those have stopped. This would be true for all of Arithmetic games, including Seven Hotties, All My Husbands; Once Upon a Fairy Love Tale; etc.

[bonewhiteglory]

fun fact: there’s a visual novel called “Seven Hotties, All My Husbands”

[lil-red-clitoral-hood]

I find it kinda funny that your pfp is red considering the kinda character he is and the account that you run 😭 do you play any otome games by chance?

I play both obey games and nu carnival. I played seven hotties all my husband as a kid, but other than that, no. I want my romance to either be devlid of gender or male oriented (Sex is different), and most otome games don't fit that. I also don't like that they have a fucking character design for the MC (the mc that's supposed to be me)... Which I don't and will never look like.

I don't know what kind of character he is because I don't play. Please elaborate

[valnyte]

Take a shot whenever you play an otome and someone says this one way or another

[starmocha]

Pokémon conditioned me to "gotta catch 'em all" but otome games humbled me with "you can't afford 'em all"

[stardrunk]

biggest lie i've ever told myself is saying i will casually play an otome game

[arc-angel-o]

Fellas is it trans to want to be known as a woman and living most of your life that way

(Celis from Seven Hotties All My Husbands)

[starppears]

2 tickets for one item?

For games that have been inactive for over a year?

What a ripoff, Arithmetic. 🙃

The To Do List

Shizuki Tojo x Reader

The young, talented movie director didn’t know anything about love. It was as to ask how he succeeded with romance movies without knowing anything on the subject.

The hours had passed and it was already early in the morning when Shizuki looked up from his laptop, rubbing his tired eyes . He’s spent his evening searching for a couple’s to do list.

Tomorrow was his dedicated day of the week where he would spend time with his wife. His wife he adored but didn’t know how to cherish like a real lover would. And the results of his thourough researches led him to make his own to do list, consisting of activities to do with a partner or for them.

- Cooking together

- Movie Marathon

- Take pictures together ( or of each other )

- Cuddle

- Sing songs together

- Take walks in nature

He seemed satisfied of himself. Anxious as well, to try out all those with Y/N and see her beautiful smile, knowing he was the reason she was so happy. The clock showed 2 a.m, if he wanted to get the most fo the incoming day, he needed to get up early. On that, he walked to his bed, plopped down on it before turning off the light.

 Soft knocks on his bedroom door pulled him out of his slumber. Shizuki sat up quickly, his view still blurry from sleep, hair dishevelled and clothes of the previous day still on, crinkled as hell.

The knocks resonated again, forcing him to get off the bed and machinally walk to the door.

When he opened it, he found Y/N on the other side, holding a breakfast tray.

« Good Morning ! Are you hungry ? »

He might still be in the morning blur but the sight still made him sway.

He nod and moved out of the doorway to let her in. She made herself at home and settled the tray on the bed, before sitting down.

« I wanted to let you sleep as much as possbile but if I let you too late, you would’ve been grumpy for  our time together » she laughed.

« Thank you « he mumbled joining her on the bed.

« Did you stay awake all night again ? I told you it would do good for your health… »

He looked at her, talking in the soft smile she was offering him. With great clumsiness, he did what his heart felt like doing and hugged her ; plunging his face in the crook of her neck. As if it was a reflex, her hands flew respectively to his side and hair.

« It’s nice to see you so affectionate » she whispered.

Shizuki pulled to look at her questionningly only to receive a kiss on the forehead.

« You should eat or the food will get cold » She released him from her arms to scoot over next to him, giving him full access to his breakfast, all while staying close to him.

Digging in with joy, Shizuki started a conversation about the to do list made the night before.

« A couple’s to do list ? »

« I realized thzt I wasn’t making much efforts for our relationship. My works takes a lot of my time and what remains, I can’t use it properly because I’ve never been so attached to someone before, I didn’t know what to do… »

Y/N felt so touched by her husband’s words thzt she lifted herself on her knees to kiss him. Taking his face in her hands, holding his skull so gently but strangely enough to show him that she cared so much.

« You don’t need to worry. I’m here and I help you understand your feelings »

They got lost in each other’s eyes, sharing the moment

« Can we still use the list ? There are a lot of things I’d like us to do together »

Y/N chuckled and kissed him again, on the lips this time.

«  Whatever you want my love »

[royal-shining]

What is your favorite to least favorite scenario/event on SSS? Also, what events/ scenarios do you think are canon to the story?

Three-way tie for favorites:

Back in Time - We get to see all of the love interests as children 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 (this might actually be my favorite tbqh. I simply adore this event so much)

The Little Concierge Girl - MC gets turned into a little girl and a lot of hilarious (and unfortunate...) implications are made. There are so many great gags in this event.

Welcome to the Royal Shining - Crossover event, featuring the love interests from Arithmetic's other games, "Oriental Bride of the Emperor" and "Once Upon a Fairy Love Tale". I love both games, but I really love any OB crumbs I can get. 🥺 it'd be chaotic but I've always lowkey wished for a crossover event with "Seven Hotties, All My Husbands"

Least favorite...maybe Meeting the Parents? I don't remember much of it other than Chiaki's iconic line of "There's nothing stopping us from making babies now." Heh.

I would consider anything that's not an obvious AU (like the angels vs. devils AU) to be canon. Possibly non-canon would include any that involve MC transforming into something else or time traveling (so I guess no to Back in Time :'(). Don't take my words for it. These are just my personal opinions and not facts.
