that’s okay, I’ll change my request from this: Sejanus x coriolanus angst where instead of Sejanus being hanged he finds out coryo betrayed him in the worst way possible (kind of like a hurt no comfort thing but Sejanus is hurt because coryo betrayed him) to Sejanus x reader. Could it be the same concept but instead of character on character is Sejanus with reader please?
Betrayal | Sejanus Plinth
Pairing: Sejanus Plinth x fem!reader
Summary: After Coriolanus betrayed him once again, he seeks comfort from the person that will forever be by his side.
Warning/s: angst, hurt/somfort, heartbreak, Coryo is a warning itself, sadness, betrayal, revenge, a bit of fluff (just a bit), possible grammar and spelling mistakes
Author's note: This took way to long, I'm sorry. Enjoy.
The air in the Capitol was thick with tension, and Sejanus Plinth felt it wrap around him like a suffocating shroud. Coriolanus Snow, his once-trusted friend, had betrayed him in the worst way possible. The details were etched into Sejanus's mind, the whispered conversations, the clandestine meetings, the secrets that had unraveled their bond.
"Sejanus." Coriolanus had said, his voice honeyed and treacherous. "This is for the greater good. For our future."
But Sejanus knew better.
The greater good was a veil for ambition, and Coriolanus had torn it away to reveal the darkness beneath. He had sold out their cause, their shared dreams, for power and privilege. And in doing so, he had shattered Sejanus's heart.
The night after the betrayal, Sejanus wandered the empty streets of the Capitol. The moon hung low, casting shadows on the cobblestones. He felt lost, adrift in a sea of broken promises. The weight of it threatened to crush him.
And then he saw you.
You stood there, a beacon of warmth in the cold night. Your eyes met his and something shifted within him. You were a fellow rebel, a fighter who had also tasted betrayal. Your presence was a balm to his wounded soul.
"Sejanus." you said softly, reaching out to touch his cheek. "I'm here."
He didn't need to say anything. You understood. Your arms wrapped around him, pulling him close. The tears he had held back spilled over, and you held him tighter. In that moment, Sejanus realized that maybe, just maybe, there was still hope.
°
Days turned into weeks and Sejanus sought solace in your company. You didn't ask questions, didn't demand explanations. Instead, you listened. You held him when the nightmares came, when the memories of Coriolanus's betrayal clawed at his mind.
"Why?" Sejanus whispered one night, his fingers tracing the scars on your skin. "Why did he do it?"
You didn't have an answer. But you stayed with him, your heartbeat a steady rhythm against his chest. Sometimes, comfort came not in words, but in shared silence. You were his refuge, the one who didn't judge, who didn't expect him to be anything other than broken.
°
As the rebellion gathered strength, Sejanus found purpose once more. He fought alongside you, fueled by anger and determination. But he never forgot Coriolanus's face, the face of betrayal. The whispers in the shadows haunted him, but you were there to chase them away.
"We'll bring him down." you promised one night, your fingers laced with his. "Together."
And so, you both plotted. Secrets exchanged, plans made. Sejanus knew that revenge wouldn't heal his heart, but it was a start. Coriolanus would pay for what he had done.
°
When the day of reckoning arrived, Sejanus faced Coriolanus across the battlefield. Their eyes locked and Sejanus saw regret in Coriolanus's gaze. But it was too late. The damage was done.
"Sejanus." Coriolanus said, his voice raw. "I'm sorry."
Sejanus raised his sword.
"Sorry won't change anything."
And then it was over. Coriolanus fell, defeated. But Sejanus didn't feel triumph. He felt hollow, empty. Revenge hadn't filled the void. Only you could do that.
°
In the aftermath, you found Sejanus sitting alone, staring at the horizon. The Capitol was in chaos, but he didn't care. You sat beside him, your presence a lifeline.
"I thought revenge would heal me." Sejanus admitted. "But it didn't."
"Love will." you said, your fingers entwined with his. "Love and time."
And so, in the ruins of betrayal, something new blossomed. Whispers of love, fragile and tentative. Sejanus leaned into your touch, and for the first time, he dared to hope.

all I’ve been hearing since tbosas came out is “Sejanus reminds me of prim” or “Prim and Sejanus are the same!” BUT THATS SO NOT TRUE!!
For me it’s Johanna who reminds me of Sejanus.
Sejanus and Johanna are one in the same. They aren’t scared to say what they want and aren’t scared to get physical to get their point across. In the 75th games when Johanna cussed out the Capitol in her interview she didn’t care about the backlash because she knew people out there agreed. She also knew there was nothing the capitol could do to her because there is no bigger punishment then the games. That’s like when Sejanus threw the chair and called everyone monsters because it was the truth or when he spoke out in class about how wrong it was. And what would the capitol do against him? His dad would just pay them to make it go away and keep Sejanus safe. The Capitol couldn’t touch them. What’s ironic is that in the end it’s not the Capitol that screws them over it’s President Snow.
Snow pressed record on the jabber jays, took advantage of Sejanus and in the end Sejanus died. For Johanna Snow promised her a comfortable life. No more games no more interviews no more killing people. But then just because he couldn’t let Katniss and Peeta be happy he dragged her back into it and then tortured her and shaved her head.
But with Prim she wouldn’t have done anything or said anything about the games and how wrong they were if Katniss didn’t join the rebellion. Before that she hadnt voiced her opinions on the games or gotten physical to prove her points the way Johanna and Sejanus do.
idk if I’m going crazy but I appreciate thoughts and opinions
