Katniss!Cole Evans and (sort of) Peeta!Taylor

Cole Evans is an orphan who frequently goes out in the wilds to hunt and spend time with animals. He's nothing special, just a man who is in his second-to-last year before he's able to age out of the reaping.

Taylor Earhardt had always wanted to leave her district and fly high in the sky. She's in her last year of being able to be reaped. After that, she'd be home free to do what she wants.

Taylor and Cole have known each other since they were kids, along with their friend group, and they were all lucky because they didn't have to put their names in the bowls multiple times. The odds that any one of them would be picked are low.

Until it happened.

Max's name got picked.

Cole instantly volunteered and became the first-ever volunteer tribute in the history of District 12.

What no one expected was Taylor volunteering within seconds of Cole stepping on stage.

Now, they must try to survive their time in the Capitol and to fight for survival in the arena.

All the while, Cole unknowingly began his journey to become The Boy of Fire...

As well as trying to figure out why Taylor volunteered to come with him when they both knew how the Hunger Games usually ended.

So... yeah... The Hunger Games keep smashing into my face and now... here I am. This was probably the easiest HG AU aesthetic I was able to do. And I do love spreading my TayCole agenda lmao.

LT. Taylor Earhardt has been stationed at the Turtle Cove Air Force base for a few years, flying with her squad and even made a friend in a bald eagle her teammates call Yellow. When Yellow got hurt, she was in luck when she heard about a clinic that had just opened in town. To say she was expecting a pretty boy was a lie, yet that's who she met. A pretty boy who seemed to know just what any animal needs. Cole Evans had moved to Turtle Cove to start his own animal care practice. He had even brought an animal helper of his own, a Falcon he had named Blaze. He expected mainly dogs, cats, and other household pets. What he didn't expect was an injured eagle to be brought in by a pilot who is as handsome as she is strict. As the weeks and months pass, they interact more and more. Taylor felt her rigid walls crumble bit by bit, but Cole has a shadow increasingly inching closer and closer in the form of his late parents' best friend and his Godfather, Viktor Adler. Cole would rather push Taylor away, but he didn't expect her to match her eagle in protectiveness. ....and perhaps watching Yellow and Blaze cuddling every time the two visit weakened his resolve a tiny bit.

...Yeah, I got no chill. But hey, at least it's not the storm chasing au yet again, amirite?

And, I wanted to do something for this ship cause there's still a lack of it. Especially in the dynamic I like them in (I.e. Taylo being in charge or dominant in the relationship cause I can't see her being anything but lmao).

Had to use another thing to post a photo within the tweet, but yeah.

....Here have a TayCole aesthetic. Why? cause a little someone *cough* @agvarina *cough* brought the ship up and now, here I am..
