(a bradley bradshaw x reader political au)

One-shot collection following you and the daggers as President Tom Kazansky's senior staff. This is pretty heavily inspired by The West Wing - unless otherwise stated, one-shots are standalone, but I would recommend going chronologically in the order below.

Requests for this AU are open, and please ignore any political inaccuracies

COMPLETED.

teaser/introduction to the au

main series

down bad - you're called into work on your day off for an emergency, and bradley wants to know why you're dressed up

if you're too shy (let me know) - assigned with the gargantuan task of organising paperwork for the state of the union, bradley learns something about you that he didn't know

i wish you would - when bradley's told that he'd be saved in the event of a nuclear war, but none of his friends make the cut, he doesn't know how to feel about it. he also doesn't know how to feel about his feelings for one of said friends.

heartbeats - president tom kazansky drops a bombshell that could destroy his re-election campaign

falling in - jake meets his match on live tv, while you're tasked with thanksgiving celebrations

say don't go - when sickness strikes the west wing, bradley ends up taking care of you

false alarms - a lot can change in a week when it comes to washington - political alliances, work trips, relationships?

sweet nothing - bradley's determined to make your first official date a good one, but the white house has other plans

wildest dreams - part 1 - part 2 - part 3 - tragedy forces you to re-evaluate your relationship with bradley

i'm with you - when bradley struggles to readjust to normal life after the shooting, you don't know how to help him

hits different - you turn thirty, bradley and jake try to start a fire, and president kazansky has news

everywhere - when your ex turns up at the white house, bradley does everything in his power to keep him away from you

stop and stare - you get some worrying letters after a controversial speech, and bradley doesn't know how to deal with it

holy ground - you and bradley take an anniversary trip to san diego, and javy has a question for maverick

if i could change your mind - bradley spends some time on javy's campaign, and comes to a decision he's not sure you'll like

my boy only breaks his favorite toys - it feels like you're the last one to learn about bradley's job. the fight that follows is the worst one you've ever had with him.

in the living room - with bradley away on the campaign trail, you can't seem to adjust to life back home

out of the woods - bradley finds himself unable to protect you, and begins to wonder if it's all worth it

everlong - it's the final countdown to the election. four months to make or break america. can the machado campaign do it?

landslide - it's election night! javy machado vs evan pitt, and it's far tighter than any of you expect

revival - the end.

one-shots/drabbles

the very first night - you make the decision to leave tom kazansky's campaign and bradley does not take it well (prequel!)

false alarms (the bonus parts) - after you and bradley finally get together, it feels like the entire universe is conspiring to keep you apart. drabble! doesn't affect plot

an executive decisions christmas

i miss you, i'm sorry - When Bradley takes a job at the other side of the country without consulting you, it breaks your heart that he didn't trust you enough to tell you. Ending things with him is the hardest decision you've ever had to make. But when you run into him three years later, and it's obvious neither of you are doing well, do you have it in you to take him back? Or are you both doomed to the same mistakes that broke you apart the first time? This is an Executive Decisions AU, and takes place instead of In The Living Room, but can be read standalone.

something about haymitch (and his mentors) being aware of a victor prior to him, but no one knows her name… yet they all know she was there. she really was in the breeze and in the trees, huh.

Hmm actually Lucy Gray is different from Haymitch and Katniss and Peeta because her tragedy is she caused the games to continue. If the games hadn't become entertaining, they wouldn't have continued and she made it entertaining because she was an entertainer - she saved herself but she doomed dozens more because she performed too well and it allowed the Capitol to make the games a performance in the later years. Haymitch's tragedy is that he couldn't end the games, Lucy Gray's is that she continued them.

i think about ahsoka's "she was my friend" line too many times a day

(commission info // tip jar!)

(On the way to Mandalore for Ahsoka's stint as a student teacher at the academy)

Anakin: "and he totally didn't know I was there because he said, and I quote, HAD YOU SAID THE WORD I WOULD HAVE LEFT THE JEDI ORDER"

Ahsoka: "which could mean nothing."
