Blurb: As a general’s daughter in a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers, 17-year-old Kestrel has two choices: she can join the military, or get married...but Kestrel has other intentions. One day, she is startled to find a kindred spirit in a young slave up for auction. Arin’s eyes seem to defy everything and everyone. Following her instinct, Kestrel buys him, with unexpected consequences. It’s not long before she has to hide her growing love for Arin...but he, too, has a secret, and Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for a fellow human is much higher than she ever could have imagined.

haymitch having to address 4 different deaths for each district on his victory tour. can anybody hear me. haymitch likely having to play the narrative that the deaths of his family were mysterious unsolved murders and to even make it so, partake in the humiliation ritual of public funerals held within the capitol. haymitch having to keep distance from the other victors because he really is a killer and cannot face it. 47 faces and 47 graves dug all because of him. is this thing on. haymitch being forced to mentor tributes he likely knew as classmates or school peers for the first few years of his victory. can you hear me do you understand !!!! haymitch having his games pulled from every possible outlet and blacklisted because of the shocking nature and traitorous way of his win. haymitch likely facing so much scorn amidst all the grief just for surviving. just for making it back home.

the red vehicle obsessed family !!

Other vers and extra stuff/lore under the cut

second pic r their mothers . doug has a different mother to the other three btw he’s my little bastard child . Doug’s mother is called Harlow Swallow and she’s a prosecutor!! Her and blaise had a little workplace relationship and Doug was the result of that . Blaise was a dick and so Harlow and Blaise hate eachother !!

Sebby, Matt and Desirée’s mother is called Elodie Engarde !!! She worked with interpol for a bit and that’s how she met Blaise. They settled down and she had Desirée but then she was barred from working with Interpol on Blaise’s command. After she had Sebby she ‘disappeared’ but we all know what that means.

Matt took engarde as his last name in honour of his mother but mostly because it sounded better than Matt Debeste .

I like these guys very much.

SOME ACE ATTORNEY SKETCHES I MADE IN CLASS!!!! SOME OF THEM ARE ON WORKSHEETS OTHERS ARE ON FREEFORM AND WHITEBOARDS!!!!

BONUS: GYAKUTEN WINNERRR!!!!!!!!

(For context, that's the first opening to the Ace Attorney anime. It's a joke with me and my sibling, so I thought it'd be funny to write! "Gyakuten Winner" translates to "Turnabout Winner", much like "Gyakuten Saiben" AKA "Ace Attorney" AKA "Turnabout Trial.")

(So sorry this is the only one I could find 😭)
