5 + 1 Fic Friday Roundup: Civilians (II)
Some fics where a character does not engage in more violent/illegal pursuits such as vigilantism. Or just goes for soft power more than combat power. Like going off to farm instead of cultivating.
Why Not's and How To's (AO3) - "In which Obi-Wan Kenobi never returns to the Jedi order after the war on Melidaa/Dann and instead finds another way to follow the Force's will. Namely, by fighting sentient-rights abuses all over the galaxy and emancipating the Grand Army of the Republic, one clone trooper at a time."
Blackbrush (AO3) - "What she knows of Mandalorian history from this point forward is not pretty and will end in tears. Is she ready to stand aside and watch? No, probably not. Is she ready to participate in what will no doubt be a long and hard and bloody struggle? Rie doesn’t know. But the only option, other than to pack up and run away once more, is to find out."
Effortless Smile (AO3) - "Jason has reservations about this. There is one consolation in this hellscape of paperwork, meetings, snotty IT workers and being co-workers with his idiot brothers. He meets an intern named Tim, who never fails to make him smile."
retour (AO3) - "One small decision changes Medea's life as she knows it. Instead of running away that fateful night, she stays and gets shipped off to a boarding school in Europe instead. Post graduation, she makes another decision - to return to Gotham."
Very boy-next-door (AO3) - "Slade should have guessed that, being a civilian born and raised in Gotham’s worst neighborhood, Jason would have more in common with a war survivor than the middle class college student he plays at being. After getting to really know him, he suspects that Jason will be okay with what Slade does for a living."
Bonus: Home Improvement (AO3) - Phil Coulson, author.
