Open Letter/Discourse Invitation on the Controversial Pairing in Chapter 42 of Favors (Hunger Games AU)

My Hunger Games AU longfic, Favors, has gone in many directions I've never dared before as a writer, and possibly no more so than the very (understandably) controversial pairing that took place in the most recent chapter.

Disclaimer In Case It’s Unclear: I am IN NO WAY endorsing this type of relationship on Real World Planet Earth.

As anticipated, some readers were squicked, skeeved, and even triggered, while others were ambivalent. So here is an explanation of how my decision to do it came about and why I decided it worked for this dark AU of a dark dystopia.

Ch. 43: An Open Letter/Discourse Interlude on the Controversial Pairing - Discussion/debate whether in agreement or disagreement with my reasoning is encouraged and welcome, just please be civil to other readers. (You can be mean to me if you want - I had another lawyer call me a big fat liar today!)

Also, for those still reading, which I hope everyone will, there's a poll in the endnote about the update schedule.
