Do you have any headcanons or blurb thoughts about if Secretary!reader got him a Christmas present? I feel like would be so cute. Happy Holidays if you celebrate!!❤️
oh i’m so soft ❄️
(this takes place between parts 3 and 4)
what do you get for a man who could buy anything he wants?
you’d been thinking all week about what to get for coriolanus for christmas. you’re sure that he’s used to expensive gifts and presents from all sorts of people. but you weren’t particularly wealthy, even for a capitol citizen.
you remembered once that he had a sweet tooth, and you smiled to yourself as you realized what you could do for him.
you spend all evening before your last day at the office for the break rolling out dough, covered in flour and sticky sugar. you used a little cutter to punch out the shape, baking them to a perfect golden brown and then icing them neatly with a piping bag. then, you packaged them up in a nice little red box with a big silver bow atop of it.
two dozen homemade sugar cookies in the shape of snowflakes, for coriolanus snow.
you hoped he would like them, biting your lip as you stepped into the building’s entry hall with a small smile.
“mr. snow?” you called softly, looking around. coriolanus stepped out of his office and smiled softly.
“yes, miss y/n?”
you fidgeted with the bow for a moment, grinning sheepishly. “merry christmas,” you said, handing the box to him.
coriolanus lifted his brow curiously, taking it from you and lifting the lid open. he blinked down at the neatly packaged cookies, his mouth open in a small little “o” shape.
“sweet snow for a sweet snow,” you joked, knowing it was a cheesy remark. coriolanus eyes lifted to you, tears just barely brimming at his lash line.
oh. had you upset him?
“coryo…?” you tried softly, taking a step forward towards him. you wondered if you’d overstepped somehow. if you’d read this little thing between you two wrong.
instead of opening his mouth to shout at you, perhaps tell you this was ridiculous, coriolanus set the box aside as gingerly as possible. then his arms were suddenly wrapped around you, pulling you into a tight hug. you were startled for a moment before completely melting into his embrace, your own arms fitting easily around his middle.
“thank you,” he breathed softly. “you don’t know what it means to me. that you took time to make these for me.”
of course you’d never know how deeply the gesture struck his heart. he’d never told a soul about his childhood and teenage years, not since his first year at the Capitol University. there was no way you could know that the sweet treats would take him back to a time when his stomach lurched painfully at all hours of the night, a time when he would have openly weeped at the gift of any sort of food.
it had been so long since someone had baked something just for him. ma plinth had passed some years ago, the last person to choose to spend her time making treats for coriolanus. it was more than the memory of the years he spent starving that moved him. to know that you had thought of him, had spent your own free time to do something kind like this for him, had his heart softening more than you’d ever realize.
“you’re welcome,” you whispered back, tentatively stroking his back with your fingertips. after a long moment, coriolanus seemed to gather himself and let you go with a small grin.
his hand gently held your chin for just a moment. “merry christmas, miss y/n.”

Hear me out..
An AU where Tiger bitch slapped Tiny but didn't attempt to kill him, and Tiny, instead of running towards the streets, he heads back to home again, furious by the humiliation, so he trains himself for a week, and comes back to the forest, where he and Tiger meet again, fight, and the little one loses, but still pulled a good fight enough to convince Tiger to take him to the clan. Two moons later and their relationship gets stronger and emotionally by Tiny's side; he thinks of Tiger as a father figure who's cruel, yet he acknowledges his value. So, one day, Tiger finally calls Tiny as "son". However, we all know Tiger's manipulative nature in the canon, and yeah in this au, he does this to make Tiny his loyal follower.
Their dynamic in this au is inspired by Andrew and Fletcher's dynamic from Whiplash.

I just learned the fascinating science fact that if not for air slowing the speed of snowfall to a gentle drift, snowflakes would plummet with enough speed to slice people. Like tiny ninja stars.
Of course, without air to hold all that moisture in the sky, snow would never condense in the first place. Unless there was some artificial snowmaker up there for some reason. Or there was a gap in the atmosphere somehow.
(I was trying to think up a sci-fi justification for lethal snowflakes. Instead I thought of a magical one.)
Hey, you know who could make a strategic gap in the atmosphere? Airbenders.

Guide to Olmia magazine- Moon Phases, Higum and Hium, Minkin, and Dolfolk!
These have been a ton of work but it's been fun to compile years of worldbuilding into some fun-to-look-at lore pages! Figured lore dumps might be easier to digest in magazine-like articles that cut a lot of the fat!
Most people probably won't read these so if you do, thank you lmao you're a real mvp
if you don't, hope you at least enjoy the doodles that go with them!
None of the concepts in these pages are set in stone! Many things may or may not change in the final version of FYW, and some things aren't super important. There's tons more pages I need to make, but I'm just posting these for now.~
