A Day In Your Shoes, Literally by Idrelle Miocovani [K]
Fandom: STAR WARS [PT]
Pairing: -
Length: 3,088

Why this must be read: So, I've decided that we're going back to humour as the month draws to a close. Again, I'm going to rec some Anakin/Padmé genfic, of which there is precious little. There is also Anakin/Obi-Wan gen in here, and a general sense of friendship that is so rare in Star Wars fiction of late, and which as such makes it a joy to read.
Admittedly, this is at least 99% crackfic, and crackfic as such doesn't need to have a believeable premise. And the premise isn't believeable: after ignorantly insulting his wife's choice of footwear, Anakin rashly accepts Padmé's bet of swapping shoes for a day. Now, all logistics of height aside (Anakin would definitely have bigger feet than Padmé), you'd imagine that no Jedi would casually wear women's shoes and then parade around the temple in them. But the thing about the whole plot is just that: it's so mad it's funny. Unlike most OOC humour masquerading as crack, the characters are actually IC: Obi-Wan does what he does best and takes the piss, Anakin ends up making a mountain out of a molehill and Padmé ends up coming out on top. Er, not literally. Note the rating.
So, I think after all of the angst I've been reccing of late, you guys need a laugh. So, I shall leave you with one of the most memorable exchanges in the whole fic, just to tempt you in:

“Anakin,” Obi-Wan said firmly, “it’s a dare. It’s not important. Take the shoes off.”
“Yes. Master.” Anakin sat down again and bent to take off one of the shoes. He tugged on the pink pump, but for some reason his foot remained stuck inside it. Frowning, he tugged harder. No luck – the shoe stayed on his foot. Frowning, Anakin went to his other foot and tugged on the adorning shoe. It, too, stayed firmly glued to his foot ...
