Fanfic Recs
Quickly, three fanfic recs:
Pride and Prejudice/Persuasion:
Still-Life with Pheasant, Oranges, and Calves-Foot Jell: A delightful fusion between these two Austen novels, in epistolary form.
Star Wars:
White Orchid: To quote the authorial description: Emperor Palpatine dies unexpectedly a year before the Death Star would be deemed operational. His heir apparent, Darth Vader, startles the galaxy by passing up the throne, and then passing it on to the newly-elected Senator of Alderaan, Leia Organa, after the Force leads him to directly to her. The new Empress inherits a terrorized galaxy, a broken Empire to tear down from the inside, and the weirdest second-in-command anyone can imagine.
Or, Vader accidentally hands the galaxy to his rebel daughter, Bail Organa panics professionally, Leia attempts not to get assassinated, and Palpatine rolls in his grave.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
Dinner for One, and How to Enjoy Dessert: Again, can't improve on the author's description: Jake decides to accept the writing fellowship in New Zealand after all, leaving Ben with an empty nest. Grumpy about this situation and trying not to show it, Ben can’t stand anyone’s company, except (Prophets help him) for Quark.
