So in this AU, where Snow decided to fight against the Capitol. How did that happen? What happened to him that had him go "Wait...maybe this isn't the way to go. We should leave for now."

I'm so sorry for not answering sooner.

You see, in this au the ending never happened, Coryo never lied and Lucy Gray accepted him yada yada they travelled and ended up in 13. When they were found they presented themselves to 13 as runaways (himself a trained peacekeeper assigned to district 12 from district 2) Though, they were relatively safe and stable and he was able to climb to power and took back what was "stolen" from his family, Coryo does not want to stay down there forever. He hates the lack of opulence, luxury and life. He also holds a grudge against the Capitol for his "downfall".

In 13, he holds a different name along with Lucy Gray and he wants his name back and his family name's old glory back and of course he wants to get back to Tigris and Grandma'am (tho, grandma'am croaked before they meet again). He hates that he is in hiding, he hates that he is hidden and as president there, He cares little about the people in 13 but Lucy Gray does so he does his best to make the place better for her and his kids (of course himself, he is ambitious and wants some kind of privilege no matter how small in 13) so he's in semi-in contact with the rebels and the Capitol themselves, exchanging goods with them and accepts refugees due to 13's little supplies and population. Then the pox outbreak happens and it was when his son, Orpheus Sage, almost died that he can no longer bear it and so he had 13 join the rebellion fully. After the war was won, he was elected as president of Panem (and all the things it entails) and moved his family to the Capitol.

I hope this sound coherent and not a bumbling mess

Hi, I just found your account through someone reblogging you answering the question about your oc so 1 dont mind me just, casually reading all of your fanfics etc, sorry for the like spam you might get and 2 PLEASE TELL US MORE ABOUT CYNTHIA!! I just read the ask you did after that, and the story and her character sound so interesting! Are Cynthia and Artemis the same person in your story? Are they like 2 different 'sides' of the same person? Or is it like a 'Goddess reborn as ...' situation? Also, what about other greek gods? Does Cynthia have a twin brother? Whats her personality like?

Sorry for all the questions haha, but I find it really cool, cus Ive only seen people make the mc a demigod, related to a Greek deity, or act like them or something like that.

I’m still marking this as Spoilers for who hasn’t read the original fic, even if the “secret” is as good as out now. Thank you so much for your questions and interest, it made me so happy to see this in my inbox 🥺 

Be warned, this is long.

So, yes, they’re the same person! The lore is a bit complicated and not completely worked out but bear with me: Basically, every god of every major religion existed and gouverned over those who believed in them. The Celestial Realm and the Devildom have subsections for each religion and Gods who decide / rule over their subjects based off their scripture. But with time, belief will obviously fade, which is what happened to the Greek Pantheon, which causes the Gods to lose in power and influence, making them simply extremely powerful mages / sorcerers / witches ect. 

Taking Artemis as an example, because she is so connected to the earth, the forests ect. she fulfills her duty as guardian as well as she can, and would build pacts with demons and guardianships with angels to maintain the power she needs to stay faithful to her cause. If, one day, nobody was to remember or believe in them anymore, they would resign from their duties and kind of vanish, they don’t become souls or spirits or die straight out. If anyone has seen Coco, it’s the same thing that happens to forgotten souls: They need the belief and memory to keep them alive and able to continue what they were made to do - Even a single person could sustain their influence, but it will grow the more people believe in them, which is why Cynthia is less powerful than the demons, considering what mythology they’re from. Additionally, they are reincarnated into a new form every few thousand years (variable), to keep a cycle going, so Cynthia is not the original Artemis per se, but she also is, because she has all her memories, powers, ect., like, she is Artemis, Cynthia is just an alias and a different body than her original form. Make sense? Their “roman counterparts”, for example, would just be them under different names. 

All the other gods still exist the same way she does, bound by their duty. I was going to write a fic about how Hades reincarnates himself into each new Demon Prince / Ruler, making Diavolo a form of him, additionally to being a demon, and how Persephone always comes to find him in each new lifetime, inspired by the song Pomegranate Seeds by Julia Moon. Yes, the concepts clash a bit, it wasn’t fully fleshed out. 

Cynthia indeed has her Apollo! I hadn’t really thought about him yet, and considering how many different titles and epithets the twins have, I don’t have a name for him off the top of my head. Cynthia is named Cynthia because the twins were supposedly born at mount Cynthus in the island of Delos, so those  names are derived at that. Apollos Version is Cynthius, so I’d probably pick a different alias. 

True to mythology, Artemis / Cynthia is fierce, defensive, impulsive, passionate but reclusive and caring towards her close ones and protegees. She has learned temperance over the years, forcefully, after her original powers faded, so she can hold herself back a bit better and has begrudgingly learned to tolerate disresepct, though she will not forgive it lightly or even at all, and lacks mercy for men in particular. Her friends and those who she must protect she will defend to her last breath, against all she can. It, her duty, is the driving force of the plot in her fic and her in general. She is also a virgin goddess, which basically translates to her not being interested in men and not sleeping with them = she’s gay. She seems like she would not be shy, quite the opposite, she’s intimidating, but she gets shy in vulnerable situations between her and her close ones.

Oh god this is long. Thank you for asking!!
