    Summary

    It's several months after season 2, and politics are shifting rapidly in the New Republic.

    “One of the delegation’s sticking points in the treaty has been a desire to share risk between the New Republic and Mandalore. They don’t want to sign without an assurance. Apparently it’s traditional to do this... somewhat literally. I don’t get the sense that it’s universally desired, but,” she shrugs a little, “we’re all floundering here. Rebuilding a republic out of a dictatorship isn’t easy.”
    “I’m not getting the problem here, Leia. So they want it all in writing?”
    She lays it out for him, and Luke can’t say he didn’t ask for it. “They want someone from the New Republic to become the new Mand’alor’s consort. Essentially, they want a hostage.”

    Luke wants the New Republic to back and fund his plans for the new Jedi Order, Bo-Katan wants Mandalore to rise to its previous glory, Leia wants a system of governance that is functional, and Din wants a nap.

    (Or, the arranged marriage fic I had no intention of writing.)

    Summary

    Sansa finds it difficult to look at Jon’s face, with its weathered lines and cragginess. It is the face of the North and a face that northerners trust; the face of Sansa’s brothers and her father, who had been loved and respected by their tenants as their forefathers had been when they were kings. How can Sansa feel anything but resentment, looking into that face and knowing that all of her years of hard work will never earn her the respect that that profile engenders within seconds?

    But she does. It is a small, burning coal of something that must be smothered.

    Summary

    Anastasia AU. Joshua Margrace grew up an orphan in Sanbreque with no memory of his early life. His one keepsake is an intricately crafted armband of Rosarian make. Unfortunately, a longstanding war between Rosaria and Sanbreque makes it impossible for him to learn more about the armband’s provenance.

    Joshua finds his chance, however, when Oriflamme issues a summons for a fire-aspected Bearer that matches Joshua’s exact physical description—a man the Imperial Palace, bizarrely enough, wants to send as companion to the Crown Prince Dion Lesage as he goes on a mission to finally negotiate peace with the Rosarian ducal family.

    Written for the PhoenixFlare Weekly prompt "heirloom."

    Summary

    That’s a fucking kid, is the first thing that Iruka thinks.

    That’s the fucking jinchuriki, is the second.

    The first thought comes back, even stronger, overwhelming him with outrage, with fury, with a sick sort of disgust, and now it comes out as a shouted,

    “That’s a fucking kid.”
