Discworld HC: After Jingo, Carrot (raised underground, redhead), Angua (creature of the night, raised in fantasy Germany), and Cheery (underground species of people, also pseudo-German) had terrible sunburns. Carrot was worst off because he chose to take his shirt off in the desert, but all three of them spent several days passing around a pot of aloe Sybil sent and trying to look intimidating to subordinates with their skin peeling off. They’ve lived in Ankh-Morpork, where the primary weather is fog. They didn’t know the sun could do that.

Carrot and Angua have never seemed like the sort to have children, they both have a little too much inheritance to be comfortable passing it down, but if they did I suspect it would only be after very carefully, obviously, and publicly not getting married. There might be a signed affidavit of not-marriage involved. Because Carrot’s kids would be heirs to the throne of Ankh-Morpork and the city doesn’t really need heirs and although it might not fix everything a dose of inarguable illegitimacy would be a nice little roadblock in the smooth ascent of any possible monarch. It would certainly pose some trouble for any attempted kingmaker, especially if all the fiddly legal research was done beforehand. Plus, Angua still has a castle back home she’s probably technically the heir to and definitely doesn’t want. They’d be the only kids in the city with notarized documents kept in three locations explaining why they cannot legally inherit titles from Uberwald or Ankh-Morpork, with citations of long forgotten by-laws and apocrypha. Ventinari is just happy someone else is doing the work for him for once.
Or in which letsdrawdiscworld inspires a very strange early morning City Watch AU. Started out as Carrot and Angua as Jedi but it quickly became apparent that did not suit the watch a lot. So instead they are policemen in a corrupt Tatooine city, trying to balance species tensions and crime in a place where crime may not actually be illegal.
It’s not that much of an AU.
Lord Vetinari the Hutt (Originally conceived as just a hutt lackey, but then a real hutt. That’s him up there with a beard because Vetinari the Hutt is something you think the world needs at 3 AM.) ends up in control of Mos Morpork and starts, slowly but surely, actually making it work. Watch as Vimes, cynical law enforcement tries to actually law enforce again after the Krayt Dragon incident re-establishes his reputation.
Notes: Carrot was probably raised by Jawas. They eventually get their own Female Jawa recognition movement, represented by the Jawa with the lipstick and the bow over there. With lipstick Jawa is a rough Nobby who is probably not human. Angua is a shapeshifter from somewhere far far away. Vimes is blue for artistic reasons like 1.) Species representation and 2.) Using the wrong chalk pastel. With him is Sybil who is wearing a kid of Mon Mothma-y dress and is also maybe from off world because Mos Morpork is not very nobility rich. Also some vague comparisons of Chewie and Detritus that had a point earlier.
