Fandom: Discworld
Genre: Genderswap, Pre-Series AU, Women Being Awesome
Pairing: Vetinari/Lady Margolatta, Vetinari/Sybil Ramkin, Vetinari/Rosie Palm
Length: Short (Words: 6,630)
Author's Summary:
“A woman,” Roberta Meserole had said once, lighting a long black cigarette with a silver lighter, “hides in plain sight. Visibility, Haveline, is our most important asset—”
She looked up. Around. “Haveline,” she said, “that is not funny.”
--
or, how Ankh-Morpork acquired its first female Patrician very, very quietly.
Review:
It's not especially witty or funny and there's not a lot about this fic that makes specifically a good gender-swap fic so don't read it for any of these (or the ships - it's certainly no romance fic) but it is a good fic in several other important ways. For one, it is great at showing Vetinari (who is still very much in character) politicking her way into the patricianship with brilliance and cunning (and some help from certain other cunning ladies). Of the three pairings listed, I think only the first is actually obvious sans Shipping Googles, but the relationship or friendship (however you see it) with Sybil is very important to the story and very well done.
