#how does volumnia react? stay tuned to whatever the fuck this is

I would pay good money to be a Capitol citizen in this weird au, should the two (both wife and spouse) coexist. Showing up to every public event with bated breath to witness Panem's most dysfunctional polycule. The possible x reader is actually pretty interesting! Usually when we read your writing we're feeling the horror through an outsiders perspective, but getting inserted into these situations might actually make things worse! (I'm saying this very excitedly). It's almost horror-game-like.

Also, Volumnias Spouse, 100%. Dying uneventfully, possibly poisoned over breakfast because she wanted to test something out and warning her spouse in advance could give them a placebo that'd make her research useless, or something, lol.

the world's most dysfunctional polycule... yeah, if I was a Capitol Citizen, I wouldn't care about the Games. Whatever is going down between the President, the First Lady, the President's Pet Scientist, and the Scientist's Just Some GuyTM (gnc) Spouse is what I'd be living for. Me and my friends would be taking bets on who's dying first. Who is killing who? There's highly heated discourse around whether or not Volumnia's managed to sleep with the First Lady or not.

Volumnia's Spouse! reader-insert might be the most inspired idea I've had in a long time! It's a true horror. It's making use of the second person narration and the kind of blank slate character perfectly...

Oh, I know the moment Volumnia Spouse is dead, the First Lady better watch out (or start matchmaking? OR big twist here divorce Max and immediately marry Volumnia). Like the momentary power imbalance of Volumnia no longer having a spouse would spell danger for the First Lady.
