#Corin Valentis

[sulphuryasecretcloset]

The tell-tale heart

It’s the first night together after Corin had reclaimed Din and the little bean from Tiem’s clutches. Despite doing little but resting all day, Corin still feels beat up and sore, which means he’s deep asleep in Din’s arms when it happens.

Din shoots up into a sitting position and half-flails as if trying to reach something he can’t see. Equally as sudden, the light is switched on and it floods the bedroom with horrible brightness, blinding Corin and leaving him horribly unprepared for Din diving down to grab a hold of his face and touching it with almost a bit of desperation.

“Are you okay?” Din blurts out.

Horribly confused, having no idea what is happening, Corin stares at his reflection in the t-visor and nods as much as the hands will let him.

“You’re okay?” Din demands to know, even though Corin just confirmed he was and Din can easily see for himself. He touches Corin’s face some more. “You’re really okay?” His hands are shaking.

“I’m… fine.” Corin offers with some hesitation and a lot of concern. “Are you?” What is going on?!

Din is out of breath, sounds more breathless than after hunting down a tricky bounty, and it isn’t just his hands that are shaking, it is his entire body. And he can’t stop touching Corin’s face. “You’re okay. You’re not... You’re... You’re okay.”

And that is when Corin’s brain finally activates and puts the pieces together. “Did you… dream?” About him dying. He can only imagine what Din had gone through yesterday being blind and helpless while Raga and Paz had tried to jump-start Corin’s stupid heart, not once but twice. If the roles had been reversed, Corin would be having nightmares too.

Din doesn’t answer the question, just keeps studying his face a bit longer before switching focus and gently places his fingers to Corin’s chest, where the bones had been broken due to the efforts to save his life.

Seeing how distraught Din is, Corin has to do something. Say something? But what? Words are weak against the horrors of the night, he knows by personal experience, but there has to be something he can do? Especially as it is Corin’s fault that Din is traumatized like this. How can he convince him his heart is fine now? Din won’t believe him if he simply says he’s fine. How can- Wait. Maybe if he…

“Din.” Corin moves up to ease the reluctant Din into lying down again. “I’m okay. I promise.” He settles on his back and manoeuvres Din to rest his head on his chest. “I’m okay. Adjust your settings and listen to what’s under your head; my heart is working just fine. Listen to my heart beating. Can you hear it?”

Din sluggishly presses something on the side of his helmet not resting against Corin’s skin and adjusts his position a little so his head is on top of where Corin’s heart is going nice and strong.

“Can you hear that? I’m right here with you, Din.” Corin whispers. “Just listen to my heart. I’m fi-” No, he can’t use that phrase. That would probably just set Din off again. “I’m okay, Din. Everything is okay.”

Din shudders, curls a little closer and hugs him a little tighter. He doesn’t say anything, but Corin’s stupid suggestion does seem to help as he slowly relaxes and keeps listening to the sound of the steady heartbeat until it carries him back to sleep, and luckily the bad dreams stay away after that.

Until the next night. Though, this time Corin knows what to do and Din listens to the sound of his heartbeat again until the dread leaves his body once more and he can drift back to sleep.

Eventually the nightmares start to fade as the incident grow more distant, more time goes by between the bad dreams until they go away entirely, but after a stressful day Din will still occasionally rest his head on Corin’s chest and listen to his heartbeat for his own enigmatic reasons.

Corin doesn’t mind. At all.

Someone from Corin's past comes back to haunt him and his adverse reaction nearly exposes the Career Training Program. Thank the Odds, his mentor Paz Vizsla is there to cover for him--but that won't always be the case. Vizsla orders Corin to work on his sabacc face and shares some harsh truths about the cost of becoming a Victor.

Hello! I have vacation for the first time in like...forever. So finally, FINALLY I can start updating this fic again. If anyone's out there and still following this story, then ...well... thanks for your patience. <3 It's been too long, I know lol -- Unfortunately, I work two jobs and can never brain anything by the time I get home from work. It's awful. 10/10 do not recommend :( lol Anyways here's the next chapter. We get to learn a bit more about Paz Vizsla's worldview and what happened in his Games. I really enjoyed writing this chapter for that reason. It is also the reason I took so long editing this chapter-- within the Hunger Games AU, his story is...complicated and controversial to say the least. Infinite thanks go to the wonderful amazing humans -- Lady Irina @sulphuryasecretcloset and Ace @miscellaneous-ace. Without them, this story wouldn't exist! You both inspire me even after all these years <3

October Drabble Challenge 2023

Day 4- Temperature

"'I'm fine, Corin,' Din insisted with a bright smile that was equally charming and irritating."

I can’t say what makes me the happiest; that 2 years later you still care about my fic, that you would re-read it or the absolutely GORGEOUS masterpiece you’ve created! I swear, I jumped in my seat because it looked like such an official thing that I thought for half a second that Disney had hired Matt Bomer for real xD I love this so much! Would you mind terribly if I added it to the fic and possibly used it as my profile pic? Either way, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!

2 years later and I’m still obsessed with this story created by @sulphuryasecretcloset This my third re-read and I wanted to create a little something for it so here is Corin, Din and the womp rat looking very cool:)

Mandorin is the ship name for Din Djarin ("Mando") and Corin Valentis (from LadyIrina's (@sulphuryasecretcloset) AO3 series "The Mandalorian, his son and the Storm Trooper"). This series has brought many Mandalorian and Star Wars fan together over the last two years, including the 200+ people who joined the dedicated Mandorin Discord server.

@sulphuryasecretcloset corin valentis-core

it's immensely tragic and fucked up but also a little funny when someone is so incapable of accepting that they're worthy of love and affection without any kind of justification or ulterior motive that you have to wrap it up in some kind of practical reasoning like hiding a pill in ham and peanut butter to make your dog think they're getting a tasty treat. come closer, sharing body heat will help us both keep warm [waits until you're settled comfortably in my arms] and i like spending time with you and just being near you. lmao. get loved idiot.

[ok-so-chiggy]

Corin's session at the Capitol's Remake Center doesn't quite live up his expectations.

His Stylist however, defies every single one of them:

Introducing Panem's most renown fashion designer...

Featured stylist for every Hunger Game since its inception...

And, for Corin, good luck personified.

A long awaited update for all 3.5 people that may still follow this fic. lol Please read the chapter’s disclaimers. Nothing terrible; Just important information about characters introduced. :D As always, my eternal gratitude goes out to Lady @sulphuryasecretcloset and Ace @miscellaneous-ace for always enabling supporting me and my crazy ideas for this fic. I owe you both so much. <3

[friendlyloner]

Well here it is I guess. My first ever Tumblr post and fandom creation. I stumbled across @sulphuryasecretcloset's The Mandalorian, His Son, And The Stormtrooper last winter at a time when myself and my loved ones were going through and incredibly difficult period and the fic series and watching how lovely all of its fans were became my escape and safe haven. I found myself wanting for the first time in my life to actually participate in a fandom. But more than a decade of lurking in fandoms is hard to shake off and I ended up thinking; I don't know how to draw fanart, I don't know how to write fanfiction, but...well, I do have this one hobby...

And six months later here we are. Hi, Mandorins, my name is Threadiment and my needle slipped and this came out.

[fantasicshipsandheretofindthem]

Ok I’m officially addicted to @sulphuryasecretcloset ‘s “The Mandalorian, his son and the Storm Trooper” on ao3. The story is so incredible and it keeps you from doing anything else until you finish it😩 also the art by @cacodaemonia is phenomenal and was definitely an inspiration for this piece I drew of Din and Corin in a moment of peace in a battle.
