Summary
Six months after "When everything's wrong, You Make It Right," a lot is going on. Rey has been pulling overtime for Leia, photographing the same pod while looking for a new calf to come from one of the matriarchs at any time, but is simultaneously working towards a mechanic's certification. She is only 5 weeks out from completion, but the exhaustion is beginning to wear on her as her endometriosis is worsening.
Meanwhile, Finn and Poe have been promoted at Skywalker Press, and are quickly becoming one of the most sought-after duos in the journalism business. Jannah and Rose are still together, all the while Poe and Kaydel are thriving.
But none of them are prepared for all the adventures the next few months will bring.

Summary
"Personally, Scaramouche thinks this whole thing is ridiculous. The department is unnecessary, asinine, and completely biased. Dottore is allowed to test new formulas in unsuspecting recruits, but one (1) sexually charged fight with your coworker gets you written up. It’s frankly ludicrous. Crimes against humanity are fine, but the inherent homoeroticism of publicly beating your coworker into the dirt isn’t? Where is the line?"
…
In which Childe bests Scaramouche in a fight. Everyone hears about it. Signora has a headache. And two Harbingers make a visit to the Fatui equivalent of HR.For the 2023 Chiscara fic fest and the lovely Crffin. Please pretend that this isn't a whole week late. Thank you for being so patient I owe you my life.

Summary
“Good evening, Raglan,” Sam says, smirking even though Raglan can’t see him. “Sam here. Are we the third wheel, or are you about to add—”
“Jesus fuck,” Daniel Molloy blurts, sounding exactly like he’s sounded in every interview that Sam has watched or streamed. “The Sam Barclay.”
“Uh, yeah,” Sam replies. He’s going to have a hard time keeping his composure if Rashid breaks down laughing any harder than he already has.
“What a touching introduction,” Raglan says impatiently. “Rashid, are you there? This is your number the last time I checked, so I’d expect—”
“Is that my old friend Real Rashid?” Daniel cuts in with relish. “It’s so good to hear your voice. I’ve really, really been looking forward to this.”
“I can’t say the same, Daniel,” Rashid deadpans; Sam realizes it’s the first time he’s ever addressed him by his name. “Yes, Raglan. I’m here.”
*
Sam and Rashid trash-talk the Talamasca website, discuss the future, and fuck with Daniel and Raglan.

Summary
Mordor runs on evil, fear, and a mountain of paperwork—and Shagrat, head of HR (that’s Harsh Reprimandings), is the only thing standing between Barad-dûr and total chaos. The Uruk-hai want dental, the Nazgûl are beefing over “summoning boundaries,” Gollum keeps breaking into the breakroom fridge, and Sauron’s idea of management is a flaming memo that sets your desk on fire. When the Trolls smash through workplace safety protocols for the third time this week, Shagrat realizes maybe a bakery in Rohan isn’t such a bad idea after all.
Or:
It’s hard to be evil when your biggest enemy is your own HR department.Series

The Emperor’s Day Off (or, How the Empire Almost Collapsed in 24 Hours) by LordOfWinterfell for GummyLove, applewithfaces

Summary
No one could remember the last time the Emperor had taken a day off.
Certainly not Grand Moff Tarkin, who had known Sheev Palpatine back when he was still fond of subtlety and the color burgundy. Nor could Mas Amedda, who’d spent three decades at the Sith’s right hand, ever recall the Emperor scheduling “personal time.” Even Darth Vader, who kept his own counsel and wore his own grief, seemed a little off-kilter—if, in fact, a cybernetic murder-machine could be off-kilter.
So when the memo arrived, it set off a chain reaction that would have done credit to a rebel sabotage team.
MEMORANDUM
From: The Desk of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Palpatine
Subject: Temporary AbsenceThe Emperor will be unavailable for 24 standard hours.
Orders are to continue as normal.
Any inquiries will be logged and reviewed upon His return.
Do not disturb.
(Featuring: loyalty pledges, mouse droid coups, bureaucratic nightmares, and a rumor about Sith knitting that just won’t die.)

Revelation of the Gods: Between Good and Evil by 14228_paramecium
Fandoms: Original Work
11 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
I wrote this story mainly because I really wanted to share my original characters (OCs) and their world with others. It’s basically the result of a big creative itch I needed to scratch. The genre is something like a workplace comedy set in the divine realm—it’s meant to be silly, lighthearted fun, so it’s totally fine to just read it for the laughs. There’s a little bit of social satire and personal reflection tucked in there, but that’s not the focus. You can mostly think of it as my OC just hanging out, bantering, and fooling around.
