A Wolf In Silk Is Still A Wolf (Be Careful That You Mind His Teeth) by KlarionTheWizard
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types
25 Apr 2022
Tags
Summary
In most universes, most of the cutthroat courtly politics and feuds of Alderaan vanished over four centuries after the Ruusan Reformation.
The monarch’s council works together mostly harmoniously, with little attention paid to self interest and vaunted for its altruism and devotion to its people.
This is not those universes.
In most universes, the tradition of the rulers of Alderaan having harems died out about six centuries before the rise of Palpatine’s Empire.
In this one, it really hasn’t.
Most of the monarchs pick their harems for appealing traits. Pretty faces, muscles, gorgeous eyes, and… unusual fetishes.
Queen Breha Organa is not most monarchs.
or:
(Lando Calrisisian sweeps into the next financial meeting, three steps behind her and wearing a gaudy blue and gold cape.)
(The smuggler gives her council a lazy smirk, listens to all of their drivel, then proceeds to nearly restructure all of Alderaan’s current budget allocation.)

Summary
Axxila has some superstitions.
When Senator Piett decides to apply some of those superstitions to politics... well, things get interesting.
or:
Thank not the Clever Folk
Accept not their gifts
Do not let them know your name,
Let it not pass your lipsMind well their favors
They always have a cost
Be wary of their foods
For accepting sees you lostWatch well their words
And remember meanings old
For the Wordweavers cannot lie
But do not trust what you’re toldSeries

Summary
It doesn’t take long for the rumors to start.
The Fire Nation prides itself on its civilization. It isn’t like the other, lesser, nations who throw their children away by sending them into war. Those uncultured and unfeeling savages who are destroying their own future faster than the Fire Nation can save them from themselves.
Every Fire Nation child goes to school. They learn reading and writing, the illustrious history of their country, and what will be expected of them as proper, upstanding Fire Nation citizens. They are to be protected, because children are the future glory of the nation.
The crown prince is thirteen when his father burns his face in front of an audience of hundreds.

Summary
Wanda is in trouble. Billy and Tommy need somewhere to lie low while she fights it off. Somewhere obscure, with no obvious connection to the Avengers or the X-Men, and with space to house a couple of tween boys for a while.
Which is why, after twenty years of almost no contact, Marc shows up at his dad's place and asks for a serious favor.
Elias doesn't even know what Marc's been doing all these years, and jumps at the chance to reconnect with his son. Can he manage not to screw it up this time?

Summary
I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.
As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?
Kind regards,
New ManagerAbigail Bailey runs a successful management advice blog. One frequent contributor is from a workplace with some... issues.

Summary
Judge Roberta Field eyed the next case on the docket balefully. She’d known it was coming. As soon as she’d seen it appear in her schedule she’d cursed and debated “breaking a leg”, since it had been too late to have another baby as a way out. She’d convinced herself that was too extreme, however, and lulled herself into a false sense of security that she must be misremembering and it wouldn’t be that bad. So she’d decided to keep working and let it happen. And now it was here.
The Bouchard-Lukas divorce.
Again.
It had been three years since the last one, which had to be a new record.
--
Elias and Peter are divorcing again. In trying to decide the division of their marital property, they need some witnesses to assist their respective cases. This is unfortunate for Jon and Martin, who would really rather be elsewhere.

Summary
Sam was pretty sure the guy on the other side of the line was having a breakdown. Wilson hung up and peeled the post-it away from its cousins. He held it out to Sam.
“You got your meeting,” he said, “But I’m giving you fair warning, he ain’t gonna be coherent. You want any use out of him, you’ll have to pin him down somewhere flat for at least an hour or two.”
A nap.
He had to make the fucking Devil of Hell’s Kitchen take a nap.(Sam Wilson needs the Devil for a mission but the Devil's nowhere to be found. Sam has to go through Wade and Peter to get ahold of him)

“You want something, pal?” he finally demanded. Barton grinned at him, pleased to be acknowledged.
“Yeah, wanna chat. Mind if I sit?” He gestured to the empty space next to Red.
Daredevil stared at him soulfully through his mask.
“Absolutely,” he said.

Blood spurts, Joffrey laughs, and Sansa faints away.
She wakes up on... grass?
[Crossover AU, where Joffrey chops Ned Stark's head off and Sansa wakes in Middle Earth to find Boromir on his way to the Council of Elrond. It's not an easy path ahead for either of them, but like hell is Sansa going to let her father out of her sight again, especially when he volunteers to take a demonic ring to the darkest part of the land.]

Summary
They really were the perfect couple.
He was a star football player. Handsome, popular but not an asshole, a friend to pretty much everyone. She was a theater techie. Pretty, quiet but a good listener, got along with anyone who gave her a chance.
It was the perfect façade.
They’d never believe he was in love with his best friend or that she was actually a man.
Or, a Roman/ Virgil fake dating AU where they’re not secretly in love.

Summary
Unsurprisingly, it only takes a few moments for pounding feet to be heard from the hall before a harried looking man skids to the entrance of the room, halting with a jerk before actually stepping in. “Adam! You can’t just run off like that! I told you that they’re not going to want a bloo—“ he cuts himself off with a strangled sound, “blasted adult sitting in on a club!”
---
Aziraphale is as prepared for the new school year as he can be-- what he's not prepared for is an awkward man in sunglasses who's about to pull Aziraphale into not only his own life, but the lives of Aziraphale's students.
