Summary
In the world of Starcross, an amalgam of so many dimensions, peoples, and cultures, crisis is averted when Diego Brando wins the prime minister election in the Mushroom Kingdom over populist demagogue Ivo Robotnik, and the man prepares to take office at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Toadstool Tower, with stalwart political ally Princess Peach at his side.
Inspired from a multiversal roleplay canon, delve into the psychology of Brando and what politics does to the psyche amid a taste of the worldbuilding of the Mushroom Kingdom and its political scene, through the eyes of veteran leader Princess Peach and her contemplations on her alliance with Brando, as typified by a description of the heart of the Kingdom's administration.

Wile E. Coyote v. Acme Corp., No. 2:26-cv-B19294-JK by Ailren

Summary
Acme's defense, stripped of its framing as a labor dispute about professional mayhem and reasonable recognition of inherent risks in the workplace, amounts to an assertion that its test subjects fell into neither category. Not human enough to require consent. Not animal enough to require oversight.
The Court rejects this argument.
Or - an in-universe court opinion for a federal class-action lawsuit taking place sometime after the Coyote v. Acme case in the movie.

Summary
In the wake of Vox's failed holy war, the Pride Ring recovers. The Overlords are quiet as mice, sinners are continuing with their lives, the Hazbin Hotel has more guests than ever and the Radio Demon's name is whispered in fear and awe once again. Only this time, it's not for the same reasons as before.
Or: Hell witnessed Alastor break two deals on live television. This has consequences. Cue hordes of sinners coming to him for contract advice. Sometimes not even just sinners.

Summary
Hell was a manifestation of pure Evil born of the moment that Eve bit into the Fruit of Knowledge. An ugly tear in the perfection that had been made by Purity and Goodness. Everyone knew this as absolute fact, from the holiest of Seraphim to the lowliest imp.
Everyone was wrong.

Bookmarker's Notes
Absolutely floored by the quality of this fic! 😭 It’s so rare to find a TGCF AU that actually respects the historical and cultural nuances of the original setting. The political intrigue is high-stakes and so well-written, it feels like a legit C-drama.
About MILF Mu Qing... I didn't know I needed this until now? The non-traditional ABO dynamic is so fresh and doesn't feel like the usual tropes. Warning: this is a VERY slow burn, but the tension and the pining are top-tier. My English isn't great but I just had to scream about this! If you want a plot-heavy fic with actual brain cells and a side of "holy sh*t the pining," this is it. 🌸✨
Sorry, I use translator for some parts because I want to express how much I love this!
