Have you thought about how Squirrelflght's second and final trial would go? (Or her nine lives ceremony, assuming she doesn't die for Bramble's manpain before receiving them.) I like to think after Ashfur's circus, perhaps even her detractors would be at least a little more sympathetic to her.

I absolutely cannot imagine it going any other way than 100% well. I don't even think she'll need a Trial the second time around. After all the shit that happens in BB!TBC??

Recognizing the impostor, definitely being among the first people to know for sure

Joining and aiding the rebellion, if not being one of its primary leaders

Taking over ThunderClan as soon as she's able (with the very frustrating Lionblaze Coup ripped out)

STILL being against the idea of killing the impostor, to try and save as many people as possible, not knowing what's going on

Getting dragged in and then escaping, her first thought being "I need to get help and go back"

Even after all Bramblestar has ever done to her, decreeing that warriors NEVER leave another cat behind

Will definitely be one of the reasons why the Sisters come in to help send so many cats in. Right there is a practical reason for her enemies to acknowledge the value of Fire Alone (though she would be frustrated they even needed A REASON when it was always the right thing to do)

And, most importantly, Ashfur fucking ate Skystar. A 'circus' is putting it nicely, Ashfur just destroyed a big part of the afterlife (the Meadow of Young Stars) and one of Squilf's biggest detractors was murdered by another one.

She looks SO correct right now, you would look stupid for even trying to say "well let's put her on trial. again. after the last one went soo well."
