#suezahn

Well, my night just improved exponentially when this notification appeared in my inbox! Squeeeeeee! Time for a glass of wine and some good reading!

My very favorite Ord Mantell fic is @suezahn‘s brilliant “Mergers and Acquisitions.” (This reminds me that I first read this fic back when I was a timid reader who never left comments/reviews, so it’s possible that I never reviewed this lovely thing…must remedy that.) I think a number of other authors have used some of the headcanons that come from that piece. Also, I like that Sue gives Leia an actual female friend on base in whom she can confide about some of her feelings.

Another good one is @mandatheginger / MandyQ’s “It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time.” There’s a date! And shopping for actual clothes! And Leia being totally badass!

Those two would be my top recommendations, but I know there are definitely more worth reading – you might check out @hanleiaarchive, which has an #ordmantell tag with various stories.
