Eid Ka Chand - The Crescent Moon

So I did a crappy thing during eid_fic. I took a canonically Hindu-background character, no matter how half-assedly portrayed as Hindu-background in canon, even if you can only really tell for sure that his background is Hindu from the extra-canonical casting call, and made him Muslim-background. I knew what was intended by the canon creators, and I didn't change the character's background for any insight or commentary, I changed it because it was inconvenient for me to have his background be Hindu instead of Muslim. That pretty much sucks. I'm not sure what to do about it except acknowledge that it was a shitty thing to do.

I wanted to write some fic for a canonically Muslim character, which I did not do during eid_fic., so here it is.

Here's a drabble series that's been in my head for a while, since the last time I reread The Shadow Speaker.

Fandom: The Shadow Speaker by Nnedi Okarfor
Character: Sarauniya Jaa
Word Count: 500
Rating: general audiences

( Five times Sarauniya Jaa lost a battle but won a war )

Both of these are posted in eid_fic:

Title: To your health and your happiness
Prompt: Guilt
Fandom: Temeraire
Rating: General audiences
Characters: Sara Maden and Mihrişah Sultan
Notes: For daysofawesome and eid_fic
Warning: Seriously, everything I know about Mihrişah Sultan, the Ottoman sultanate, and Ottoman sadaqa I know from about 45 minutes of browsing the web in a rush before it's time for services, and I realize this ficlet reads like "look at all the research I did!". If everything here is not wrong, I will be flabbergasted; half the material I read contradicted the other half. But the more I read about her the more impressed I was. She took charge of educational reform, founded a medical school, built soup kitchens, and developed a diplomatic corps. Not at all the exotic seraglio maiden that Laurence's men hoped to spy upon, eh?
Warning 2: Warning, this is way too sappy. But there is no time. Pretend its sticky sweetness is like honey for your apples. Also these warnings are now longer than the story.

To your health and your happiness

Title: Five times Lawrence betrayed his family
Fandom: House, M.D.
Rating: general audience
For: daysofawesome and eid_fic / eid_ka_chand
Prompt: Betrayal
Note: Despite Fox's weird 'obituary', canon is too inconsistent to preclude Kutner (born Lawrence Choudray) having been raised Muslim. I'm sorry, that's two consecutive stories without canonically Muslim characters.
