Replacing one of my old Padmé AUs, because I've wanted to address these two characters in the universe I'd created that linked them since the Clone Wars finale.

Title: Counsel
Fandom: Star Wars
Characters: Padmé, Barriss Offee
Disclaimer: And Disney cancelled them. Bastards.
Warning: Are we still warning for more or less spoilers for Clone Wars?
Notes: A new addition to my series Till It Bleeds Daylight", where Anakin stayed on Naboo after TPM. I figure in that universe Ashoka was apprenticed to someone else and didn't become as noticed by the Jedi Council, so Aayla was assigned to investigate the explosion in "Sabotage" instead, and with no connection to Padmé they got Bail to represent her instead.
