The Republic of Ogden by SLyster

Summary
During the 2nd American Revolution, instead of winning, The Sons of Jacob lost. A shadowy group called Ogdenites had out-maneuvred the Jacobs during the chaos of the Jan 6 insurrection, when they'd stopped the then-sitting vice-President of the old USA from certifying that year's Electoral College votes.
What follows are the characters from what never did become 'The Handmaids Tale'. The Republic of Ogden had its own response to the fertility crisis. The characters that you know and love (and sometimes revile) are now in very different roles.

Summary
"She stopped listening as the Commander and Aunt Olga were talking about her like she was the new couch they wanted to buy for the living room. Suddenly a smaller man with black hair entered the room, next to him was the Martha that opened the door earlier. The Commander placed his hand on her shoulder and turned her towards the newcomers, she tensed at the man’s touch, “Oferwin, this is my driver ‘Levi’ and my Martha.” She looked at the two people in front of her, the man seemed like he didn’t want to be here, like every woman in Gilead the Martha was looking at her feet, with this resigned look that she often saw among the other handmaids at the Red center. “Under his Eye” she quickly muttered."
a Levi Ackerman x Original Female Character AU settled in the Handmaid's tale Universe.
Under his Eye.

Summary
Twenty years after 'Angel's Flight', this is the story of one of the original 86 children-escapees to Canada, who two decades later fled back to Gilead. The following is his account of reintegration into the theonomic Republic of Gilead, where he serves as a Guardian. He serves in Commander Blaine's household... he moves effortlessly through Ardua Hall as well as Gilead institutions of that 'middle period', where the enslaved enjoyed minimal social rights. As a Guardian, this returned guy sees some of the unseemly underbelly of Gilead. This also explores his search for the family he'd been taken from (being sent to Canada when he was four).... as well as the surprise action he took towards the end of the story.
Later chapters chronicle his difficulty reintegrating a second time! This includes 'fragments' of conversations with 2nd and 3rd generation characters, who an older Jeff meets later in life in Canada, as Gilead itself is waning.
Last chapter narrates Jeff's discovery of what happened with his parents. No further chapters are planned.

Summary
Having been forced into a shabby, arsenic green gown and made to pretend she is as essential as the blade of grass crushed under a heavy boot, Joan had grown used to the new order of things under the Republic of Gilead and put her head down to live out her last few years quietly as a Martha under the new theocratic regime.
But a connection with her former student, the now Commander Thomas Shelby, who seemed much more older and stoic than her memories and his family prove to be more than jarring than she had expected as she serves as the Martha in his household.
In the quest of survival, she makes unexpected allies as the whispers of an underground rebellion headed by ‘Janus’ surfaces and slowly but surely Joan is reminded of the deep resentment sown into every woman under the regime of the Sons of Jacob as she navigates the complex dynamics of the Shelby family.
And as much as she tries to avoid it, Thomas ‘Tommy’ Shelby seems insistent on making her remember whom she is named after: Saint Joan of Arc.

Together - Season 5 Episode 6 by SLyster

Tags
Summary
Ratings: 6 ‘Together’ A- 5 ‘Fairy Tale’ C- 4 ‘Dear Offred’ A 3 ‘Border’ B 2 ‘Ballet’ A+ 1 ‘Morning’ A+.
Episode 6 is strong, yet THT seems unable to weave in story arcs to include a more full, ensemble cast. S5E6 managed novel plot-twists well, with a few awkward exceptions. It spent too much air-time on other well established points - like June and Luke’s full reconciliation. Where’s Moira? Rita? Only one scene for Janine? C’mon! And would Ryan yield to Serena so easily? But I totally ‘get’ the twist at the end, two women driving madly away!
No further chapters are planned.
