On the Role of an Emperor, Chapter 8: The Problem of Aina Shulivar by bookishfates
Fandoms: The Goblin Emperor Series - Katherine Addison
04 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
On the Role of an Emperor is a book written by Edrehasivar VII Zhas (personal name Maia Drazhar) around the late 1230s AEC, though it wasn't published until after he died in 1239. It is partially a treatise on what defines a "good" emperor, and partially an autobiography discussing the process behind many important policy decisions as well as choice moments from his personal life.

A Force-weirdness fixit kidfic focused on the various shenanigans a bunch of deaged clone soldiers and Obi-Wan Kenobi with memories of infinite sadness can get up to.
The kids mostly use a deliberate and exaggerated form of cutesy baby-talk. Since they are doing it on purpose, it does not try to match the actual linguistic development of any age.

Summary
I’m confused at why these humans insist on performing additional work to make food when there is no lack of access to meal packs. On assignment, complaints about access to specific types of meal packs had caused a significant number of fights and productivity-costing injury.

Summary
Intra-corp politics, a SecUnit brand known for odd behavior, and a planet soaking in the radiation of a sun far too close for (human) comfort. It's no wonder that Inspector Marcelle's inspection of Muirmill's new logging installation doesn't quite go to plan.
Several years later, Assistant Supervisor Durant is determined to prove that the Can's fourth habitation block definitely isn't haunted. Unfortunately, Durant is wrong.

Summary
“So,” his best friend says eventually, and Jisung breathes out a small smile, because just hearing Felix’s voice, hearing that lilt to it that means he’s going to ask a personal question is enough to already brighten his spirits. Felix is joy personified, one of the main reasons he is still alive to this day. “You and Minho hyung…”
There’s no further words but the question and the implication is clear. Jisung laughs softly, trying his best not to move too much. “No,” he says, barely manages to keep from shaking his head. “No, it’s not like that.”
“It’s not? Not even a little?”

“Go to bed,” he says. “It’s late, and I have people I still need to speak to at the party. We’ll play more tomorrow, hm? Uncle will take you somewhere fun, out of the palace. But shh, it’s a secret. We’ll sneak out together during the morning.”
That’s such an exciting promise that sleeping at all suddenly seems impossible. And Uncle always keeps his promises, too, so it’s really happening.
“Okay,” he says, and makes himself climb underneath the sheets. Uncle smiles approvingly.
“Good boy,” he says, smoothing the sheets for him. “Sleep tight. Tomorrow is going to be a good day.”
If Uncle says it, then that must mean it’s true.

Summary
He recalls in one awful moment his young Huan-zhizi’s face then, contorted with pain as he fought through the night, slowly expelling the dread shadow whose claws had sunk deep and, even now, snagged in the great net of his fears. It occurs to him that a-Huan’s healing has never truly ended, that what he had learnt from the multiple mortal dangers of his youth had been caution, and a deep fear of sudden and terrible loss.
No wonder the blows of his adult years had brought him so low.
A little after their return from Yunping’s Guanyin Temple, it is Lan Qiren who now needs to heal, and his nephew who must help him.

➜ yuletide fanfic, for Temeraire
➜ in the form of a student's essay written centuries later about Temeraire's political career after the war
➜ absolutely delightful, the things you can see about what the standard narrative about Temeraire must have been, that this student is trying to upend!
➜ and it's so right about Temeraire, too....his temperament is revolutionary but he loves money too much to be in favour of any politics that might lead to him having less of it
➜ also, love the very Student Essay nature of it, with most of the footnoted sources leading back to a single book, lol

Summary
“It started with the ghost,” Horatio said after a moment, clearly coming to a decision. He looked upset, finally, but in a frustrated way, not in the way you would expect from someone who had just witnessed four people die, and one of them in his arms. “I got roped into it because of the ghost.”
Why Hamlet chose to put his trust in Horatio.

➜ yuletide fic - for Hamlet
➜ taking an interpretation that Horatio and Hamlet barely knew each other before the start of the play, and running with it from Horatio's pov
➜ I love the way this interpretation shapes the story!
➜ And Horatio's pov is so good. the way he feels helplessly drawn into the mess by Hamlet's charisma, never sure what he can do or what he should do, but unable to make himself step back and leave Hamlet alone
➜ because Hamlet IS so charismatic, and so visibly struggling at the same time! and there's so much depth there that Horatio simply cannot have the context to understand, but he wants to, he wants to be there for Hamlet
➜ but in the end, of course, all he can do is tell everyone what happened.
➜ I'm so emotions!!!!
