For Want Of a Competent Government by LtSaladmander

Summary
“Please, can’t we get just one competent government?” a man sighed as he received his fifth funding request back, unopened.
There was nothing special about this man. His name was Irdo Gyrk, originally hailing from Chandrila before his need to “see the galaxy” sent him rushing off to the nearest space port, and then his need to eat sent him into the arms of the first steady job he could find. In all, Irdo Gyrk was a plain, unassuming, and all together unimportant man, who worked as a minor assistant to some equally unimportant bureaucrat.
This man was just like any other man, this day just like any other day, and his words just like any other low-level government employee frustrated with the slow-turning cogs of bureaucracy. The difference, of course, is that this time, someone was listening.
That someone was the Force, and it was an asshole.______________
The movers and shakers of the Rebel Alliance are drop-kicked back in time after their respective deaths to their bodies mid-Battle of Naboo.

Summary
He hadn’t meant to do it, the first time it had happened. Everything just… pressed down on him. Life forced him into it, Percy kept telling himself. It had been one of the few actions that he had done with absolutely no thought to the future. No planning. But all of a sudden, the weeping muggleborn sitting across from him was his third cousin once removed—you have Great Aunt Muriel to thank for that, always so secretive about her cousins abroad. Percy had had a panic attack later that night and hadn’t slept a wink. What had he done?
The next day, he did it again. On purpose, this time, and more meticulous. He didn’t have another panic attack. The insomnia, however, persisted.
“Ya gotta face the music, mate. This isn’t a one-man job. You will get caught if you stick it alone. And… we could use someone like you in the Ministry.”

Summary
“Are you a cultivator?”
“No,” she says, steadily. “This one doesn’t possess the core for it.” She pauses and raises her eyes to his, so boldly he finds it a little startling. “I believe that I can be of use to the Jiang sect in spite of that, and I have brought a gift to prove it. May I show you?”
Fully intrigued now, Jiang Cheng nods. The girl unslings the bundle from her back, unties a couple of straps, and unrolls it on the floor in a smooth motion.
Jiang Cheng is on his feet before he even consciously realizes it’s happened, and the reaction murmurs out through the hall. There, on a blanket that belongs on the back of a horse, are five Wen cultivator swords, offered to him by a girl who looks like the word “bumpkin” was invented specifically for her. What the fuck.
“Where did you get those?” he asks, instead of asking “What the fuck?” out loud, because that would be unbecoming of his status as sect leader.
The girl meets his eyes again, lifts her chin, and says simply, “I killed the men who carried them.”
Or: Fan Dingxiang cultivates the swole path. Jiang Cheng doesn't know how to handle that.

Summary
The other children in class stared at the teacher. Then they stared at Harry, then back to the teacher, then at Harry, in a never-ending loop.
Harry found he couldn’t blame them. Everything from the bespectacled emerald eyes to the messy black hair—the resemblance between them was uncanny!

Summary
Lin Shu survives, and, with a certain amount of salutary brow-beating, finds a purpose in doing so that moves him to enter the world again, seek out his loved ones, and start walking a meaningful path forward with them. Drama with Adorable Romance, I-3
For a long time, or what might have been a long time, he was afraid he’d failed, each time he woke. He woke weak, groggy, never able to rouse to full awareness, and he knew that sensation from a decade worth of illness, fought stubbornly against it, as he always had, to push his thoughts past the fog to grip on the world again.
This time, though, he could never force himself past the cloudy uncertainness of almost-dreams. And what did that mean, if not failure, to fall ill again before his last task was done?

Summary
“Queenscove,” he says with a half-hearted glance up. “You’re in the palace late in the working day. What new piece of his revitalized government has our king-to-be been asking your opinion of?”
Every single conversation with Thom reminds her exactly why it was that she could go from “neutral” to “keen on disemboweling” in such a short span of time. That’s not important, but it helps her thoroughly quash the fantasy of conjuring a ball of water and dropping it on his head.
or: angry mages and reasonable adult authority figures take on the plot to lioness rampant.
