IDEA - Clemmie is stuck going through the days of the 10th games over and over again. And once a victor is declared, the next day, she always ends up waking up on the day of the Reaping for the 10th games again. She's not sure what triggers the loop yet but she's going a bit stir-crazy from this.

From the time loops - she's been bitten by the snakes in her first time through, committed a murder or two in a few time loops, saved Arachne in some, befriended Reaper in a few, tried to ally with others.

In her current loop - she goes straight for befriending Reaper (he died in the last one and she almost committed a murder) and suggests a strategy that's a pretty out there.

Her idea: let's fake a romance. (Reaper's too shocked to realize he agreed)

~

Sort of see the Dovecotes being known for their love matches. Their stories well known (even if some are scandalous). Especially in the recent generations.

Ludius ran off to the Districts to be with Anise

Nobody denies that Hector adored Cleopatra.

Aelia being the reason that the Dovecote clementines exist, courtesy of Endymion

So as shocking as it seems, there are some who are like - this checks out. She is a Dovecote after all.

~

Her classmates have thoughts about a lovestruck Clemmie - Panem, she's lost it - and some try to make her see 'reason'. "Clem, it's just a silly crush/phase... that boy is NOT the love of your life."

A Clemmie that is in love is a bit 'unreasonable', in that she:

Brings food/water/medication to the tributes, with help from Sejanus. And later other mentors begin to do this, because from her head-over-heels ramblings, she manages to convince them to spend more time with their own tributes.

This bonding helps in the long run, because now they're becoming attached too.

Also because Fates forbid, Clemensia Dovecote charm ALL the tributes. Some of the tributes are already like - you wanna get my cooperation, take some notes from her. She's not even my mentor yet she brought us [insert requested item].

Reaper is a bit baffled by it all, because while Clemmie did say she'd do the heavy work in this, he did NOT expect her to commit to the bit so well.

He's not very good at reciprocating due to how flustered he gets.

'Move aside, lover boy. If you're not going to fall in love with her, let us have a chance.' - some tribute, probably. Mainly because it's obvious that he gets special treatment from her.

'Back off, that's MY mentor,' - Reaper. This does lead into him putting effort into pulling his weight in this strategy of theirs.

It also leads to increased attention on them, rather than the games. Maybe even more than the games. The Capitol has become invested in their relationship.

What is Schizoid Affective Disorder?  Schizoid Affective Disorder is a mental illness that is caused by a chemical imbalance inside of the brain just like Bipolar Disorder.  The symptoms of Schizoid Affective Disorder are mania, depressive symptoms, thinking that you are being controlled by someone or something, disorganized thinking and finally delusions.  I was first diagnosed with Schizoid Affective Disorder on Tuesday July 15, 1997 in Charlotte NC.  I remember taking Prednisone for a skin problem one month earlier.  I remember traveling to Charlotte NC on Sunday June 15, 1997.  I stayed at a hotel on South Tryon Street called the Ashcot Inn it was exactly one block from the Uptown Cabaret Night Club.  I do remember the temperature was 96 degrees outside in Charlotte NC.  I remember catching the cab to the hotel.  I ate a pizza and other junk food all day long.



Next, I stayed at another hotel on Monday June 16, 1997.  The hotel was called The Roadway Inn on West Trade Street.  I spent another night at the hotel and on Tuesday June 17, 1997, I walked to the Uptown Shelter and I stayed there for a total of 8 months.  The first few weeks, I slept on the floor until I was scheduled to get a bed on June 30, 1997.  I had to get up at 5:00am in the morning every single day for 8 months.  I had to walk a total of 9 miles to the Chemical Dependency Center located on Billingsley Road in Charlotte NC.  I remember being in the hospital for a total of 5 weeks.  I remember going to an Agency called the Access Project.  This agency helped me to get on Social Security.  I stayed with Access Project for 8 years.  My AA Sponsor name was Billy Godwin.  He was my Sponsor for a total of 15 years.  He was a Chemical Dependency Counselor for over 40 years.  I had a lot of fun down there by going to UNC- Charlotte for three years.  During the years, I was living at an apartment complex called Charlottetown Terrace Apartments located on Baxter Street in Charlotte NC.  I stayed there for almost three years.  I remember publishing my first book called The Best of Anthony Hopkins.  However I ran into a snag by dealing with two women at the same time.  I had to go back to Dayton, Ohio for an extended period of time.  I stayed with my sister for a few months.  I came back to Charlotte NC for a total of 10 years.  

Further, I came back to Charlotte NC for 10 years.  I remember working at UNC-Charlotte for a total of 8 years.  I lost my job because I was looking at porn online on my work computer.  Prior to that, I was working at UPS for a total of 4 months.  I remember my first paycheck someone stole it.  It took me at least one month just to get paid from the job.  I also worked at temporary Job services for a total of 8 months.  When I got the job at the library in Charlotte NC, I was happy for a total of 8 years.  Afterwards, I lost my job and I became homeless again.  This was also a time when I got scammed by some Africans and they swindled me out of $18,000 dollars in Western Union Funds.  I was also a victim of a pyramid scheme.  I worked so hard just to lose the money as soon as I got it.

Finally, I have been here in Dayton, Ohio for a total of 14 years now.  I published two more books called Essays and My Grace is Sufficient for Me.  The people who published my books is Authorhouse Publications in Bloomington Indiana.  My book is not selling right now.  I live in my apartment building called Wentworth Hi Rise Apartments located on Wentworth Avenue in Dayton, Ohio.  I have been living here for 13 years now.  I have been clean and sober for 33 years now.  I had to get honest and truthful with everyone about my personal recovery.  I have been Court Ordered to take medicine and attending my doctor's appointments each month.  I have been Court Ordered again to therapy and taking 38 pills per day for a lot of physical and mental ailments.  Recently I lost one of my Uncle's last year.  Uncle Johnnie Funeral was yesterday.  If I would have went to the funeral, I would have been fighting my own family members.  I found out that my father is a Caucasian male.  Therefore I am a Biracial Person.  The truth is I never knew my own father.  I was a product of infidelity.  My mother died with her secrets as well as my sister and grandmother.  I have been hearing voices for a total of 15 years now.  It hurts me to have a mental illness right now.  I also suffer from Alzheimer's and Schizophrenia as well as Andropause which is the male version of menopause.  I have been taking medication for a mental illness for almost 30 years now.  This is the reason why I am in need of prayers from everyone right now.  Thank you for reading my essay.

deleted scene: dearest, darling, mine

AO3

~~~~

Unlike the nymphs and centaurs,the immortals didn’t need to fear the idea of death, so when Clemensia did deign to mingle among them, she charmed them all as easily as blinking. 

But the nature of the deathless ones could be just as fickle as mortals, if not more. 

`

There were those who were of war, pestilence, fear or violence who were unfazed by what she represented given the death that could follow their own actions.

Some found it prudent to keep themselves in good standing with someone of her position. Because the gold and gems that they desired to decorate their altars, temples came from her after all – they knew very well that there was more to the underworld than the dead. 

`

That blond war god, he disliked greatly. A god of strategic warfare? More like a god of arrogance and ambition. A questionable being, but Clemensia had liked the god’s presence. Reaper had little idea how those two had ever become friends. 

Sejanus, on the other hand, Reaper liked far more. The dark-haired god was far less questionable – in terms of morals and ethics. 

`

The mortals were an entirely different matter. 

To his eternal chagrin and Clemensia’s amusement, the silly mortals had swapped their roles in their writings. To them, he is the god of the dead while they name her a goddess of the spring, one who became a goddess of the underworld.

Who would have thought that a silly moment eons ago between them would come back to bite him like this?

[tumblingghosts]

gaul has mysteriously disappeared. clemensia had nothing to do with it. reaper can vouch. definitely.

(psst, this is your sign to (re-)read the game has changed by inky_dreams)

🐝 Lost in Translation

re: ask game

Lost in Translation

Midnight, says the unsigned note taped to his door. Meet me by the lakeside. Come alone.

Reaper, like a rational person, does not follow the instructions of a cryptic letter from an unknown sender. So, he throws the note away, figuring it was either a bad joke or something far more dangerous, and he was not interested in finding out which. He isn't sure why Clemensia looks so pained when he tells her about the strange incident the following day.

In which Clemensia does everything to let Reaper know of her feelings for him. Everything, that is, except tell him outright.

(felix and nia’s disaster romance advice strikes again)

thanks for the prompt! <33

[tumblingghosts]

ahah reaper and clemmie causing havoc by scaring wrongdoers is great, love them for that <3

(oop- it also seems like this is one of this aus where clemmie kills coriolanus. or reaper kills coriolanus. or both of them do it as a platonic/romantic/secret third thing gesture for each other…)

surviving the snake bite has consequences

part 2 because this got a lot longer than I first imagined

Combination of book and movie canon, but essentially Clemensia and Reaper survive bitten by snakes.

Potential quirks:

** Reaper tends to have a stronger version for most of these due to him being by more snakes than Clemensia did

colourful scales (temporary, or so Clemmie hopes. Reaper called her vain and instantly regretted it when she burst into tears.)

sensitive to smells

enhanced healing, faster reflexes

take a long time to blink - for some reason it's creepier when Clemmie does it when compared to Reaper.

poison immunity to most poisons (don't ask how they found out. really. don't.)

developed a fondness for... (1) rare/nearly raw red meat (2) blood - more so for Reaper than Clemmie.

on the topic of blood, Reaper prefers Clemmie's blood. Maybe it's the venom in her veins, but it's more appetizing to him. Or so he says.

a cooler body temperature. But whereas Reaper's body seems to have adjusted to function fine at a lower set point, Clemmie's has not. If she's cold, she needs to warm up somehow.

✨ sparkle✨ - well not exactly. Once the scales eventually fall off (months down the road) they leave behind a silvery outline on their skin. And if the lights hit those scars at the right angle, it seems to sparkle.

Post Escape from the lab, our duo has to decide whether to: (a) split up (b) go to 11 (c) find Clemmie's parents.

Her parents accidentally stumble upon them before they can decide between option (b) and (c).

Get convinced to follow them to the Dovecote home, where with some encouragement from Reaper, she admits where she'd really been.

Parents are appropriately horrified.

A bit of politicking. As far as everyone knows - Clemensia is still in the hospital.

Volumnia wasn't stupid enough to have evidence about Clemmie being in the labs, or Reaper being alive. Ultimately this is a weak point Endymion exploits.

So far as anyone knows, Clemmie is in the countryside (11) recuperating from her illness with a very nice, polite young man (Reaper) that Endymion hired to protect her should the need arise.

Endymion convinces threatens some doctors to saying Clemmie is discharged and some rest out of the city would be good.

Reaper gets a new identity because for all everyone knows, he's dead. (Reaper is also a little scared by Endymion's effectiveness. His documents just appeared on the dinner table one day, and that was that. He's fairly sure her father has some sort of connections.)

Clemmie and Reaper are very well behaved in D11 (totally not wrecking havoc at night. Or convincing the peacekeepers and any wrongdoers that they are some shape shifting demon from D11 lore come to life)

Don't think Coriolanus is getting off easy here though. On the bright side, Sejanus is probably saved from his fate.

re: ask game

🦋 — share something that has been on your heart and mind lately 

i've been thinking a lot about the future lately. it's felt like time has been getting away from me -- hours slip by, then days, then weeks, and suddenly an event that was three months away has happened six weeks ago. but i'm doing my best to take things day by day! it's helped to give myself little daily tasks to do :)

🐝 — tag your biggest supporter(s) and say one nice thing about them

@persephoneprice -- you have such insightful takes on thg/tbosas and i love reading them! ik you say that people get tired of your yapping but i disagree. i genuinely could read pages upon pages of you talking about appalachian culture in d12, or lyrics that fit certain characters & why, or all the plot bunnies you come up with. also how uplifting you are about everyone's headcanons! you create such a positive vibe to share any and all ideas & it is very welcoming. (i would have likely stuck to silently reblogging posts if you hadn't sent me those first few asks about felix/sejanus & time travel - so thank you for that! i would not have been this engaged with others in the tbosas fandom if not for you <33) all that to say that i appreciate you as a person & think you are wonderful ^^

@meekmedea -- you are such an amazing writer! you're so skilled at writing compelling plots that get me incredibly invested in the characters. i swear you have singlehandedly gotten me aboard the ashcote ship in addition to being generally invested in clemmie & reaper as characters. also, i adore your thoughtful responses every time i menace you with asks - you have such interesting capitol lore with the mentors' parents & their names. and all your worldbuilding with the family mottos & backstories!! they're very cool! :D
