Honestly? No.
I know that Rumbelle the Thing suggested either Belle or Gold (I can’t remember which) was a Senator to more closely follow the dynamic from the movies. However, I always wanted to make both Gold and Belle Jedi. I couldn’t see them as anything else. To be honest that oneshot pretty much wrote itself, all the roles people played just seemed obvious.
Sometimes I can spin alternate versions of my fics. However, maybe I’m too attached to this version I don’t know, but I can’t see it working any other way.
