Pick an emotion/thing and I'll write a fic or a drabble based on that. You can pick your top three and I'll write at least one, possibly with your muse if I know them in general.

Richard Blake is not a pundit or a playwright. He's a doctor, so he understands the heart as much as he needs to and understands the world of politics moreso.
They don't work. Not particularly. He is a figurehead, one of the people's chosen, working without the benefit of being self-made but still representing his countrymen. He cuts a dashing figure and speaks well-a slow intoned voice with just a hint of "young man".
If Rotti Largo will be remembered as the savior of the 21rst century then he'll be remembered as the Kennedy-figure who brought it to the public's attention.
Bceause he can be fire and brimstone too. He has to be. In the wake of disaster the people turn to faith, and faith has it's claws sunk deep. These are not things that people want to hear about.
But he's young, and he's good and he reminds them of those they've lost-no matter how long ago so they listen and perhaps they believe.
Because Politics is less like a heart and more like a pretty face. With the right mind behind it it can work wonders-
Lacking the mind it's still beautiful, still wildly above the norm, and people listen and people obey because Americans have always been a sucker for a pretty face-all flash and no substance-empty words and meaningless promises.
