came in from the outside (burned out from a joy ride)
Read it on https://archiveofourown.org/works/54478336 by lelex “It’s illegal,” Din points out one night a few weeks later, as if he didn’t beat the shit out of folks for money for the better part of his life. “So is jaywalking,” Luke says, completely unconcerned. He’s sitting on one of the wheely carts and kicking his feet, watching Din work. One of his shoe laces is untied. Din wants to get down on his knees and wrap his fingers around Luke’s ankle like some sort of regency idiot from the movies Cara pretends she doesn’t like, double knot his laces. “And pirating movies.” * Or, Luke shows up at Din's garage under slightly suspicious circumstances, he goes to one singular illegal street race, and falls in love.

did some sketch doodles only one of them is SC!Cloud while the rest of them are from aus created by @aimeelouart go check out the stories they do [if you don't want me to continue @ ing you just lmk and I'll use more tags since I'm am relatively new to tumblr's layout as I usually use Instagram, Twitter/X, and Cara for artwork really]
But yeah SC!Cloud [who's hair in a small section is slowly turning silver due to Jenova's influence but doesn't really care/is just used to her bs and it not doing much of anything to him] may be in space but he also traverses through the void so he makes a device to channel different au wavelengths to talk to those he gave the tech to [he gave one to a Kunsel who he regularly talks to and he just will try to give one to Cursed!Cloud so there could be some information given about the dimension but in exchange for using the device as a whole]
SC!Cloud and C!Cloud are definitely tired,dimension traveling, ponytail wearing blond bois [or as some will call them chocobos]
SC!Cloud can eat straight up lemons [and have no puckering effect as he became immune to the sour though it doesn't stop him from weirding people who aren't immune to the sour effect], does enjoy Banora apples as he got more acquainted with the taste, does have a copy of Loveless which he reads when bored/to get insight into Genesis's mind, owns cook/gardening/astrology/mechanic books, is very familiar with magic/guns/swords and will used them to kick ass if needed, like Cursed!Cloud he tends to lack sleep [because he stays up either giving himself mako or to just do things that will make Calamity!Zack want to make him rest and take a vacay no joke], can make a badass cocktail and even makes meads and wines with ingredients he has on his ship, misses the taste of meat as he hasn't had it in a while but is going to be shocked by the amount of salt most meat products have in them since he doesn't have meat on his ship, can dish out comebacks when needed to, knows how to cook foods but can't make any meat related foods since he lacks meat, he owns a huge assortment of games/movies/collectibles so still has something in his old life to cling onto besides old photos of his mom/boyfriends/and friends, doesn't mind if his ship becomes like a hub before any other versions of him/boyfriends/friends to stay till they head to a different dimension.
Anyways this is getting long yet again but yeah these were interesting to make and I wanted to practice humanoid face shapes and chibis.
Enjoy the doodles if you like to.

THE MANDALORIAN MODERN AU: KRYZE-VISZLA-DJARIN FAMILY????
I was thinking a lot about a modern au where Bo-katan and the Armorer are a married couple who decided to adopt two children: Paz Viszla and Din Djarin.
Bo-katan is a lawyer, the Armorer is a mechanic and Paz is the oldest son who became a police officer. Din is Din, somehow he ended up as a single father doing odd jobs and living in his car (I'm kidding, I think).
OBVIOUSLY, Din is the Armorer's favorite and both are the quietest of the family, the complete opposite of Bo-katan and Paz (by the way, both are a great duo). EVEN though Armorer and Din are MUCH scarier if the situation calls for it (as it happens most of the time lol).
Contrary to popular belief Paz loves and protects her brother who is very prone to attracting trouble like ALL the time, as well as interacting with people ??? (paz still doesn't understand how he is friends with his old neighbor).
They all live in a house where they have Kuill as a neighbor and a man named Greef Karga who has a daughter named Cara.
English is not my language and my ideas are fucking messed up BUT if this has support I can make a fanfic in ao3. I ACCEPT SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS WITH ALL THE LOVE, I have a few things to say with this au so….

Hello! This is @rebel-author-chick and you are on my OC Creator Bingo card! I gotta say your OCs sound amazing and I will definitely be checking out their stories!
1. Florence Hargreeves, what are her powers? Which sibling does she get along with most? What did she think about Vanya's book?
2. What are Carola's thoughts about Thor? Does Loki trying to take over earth cause a rift between them? Does she have any powers?
3. What are Olive's hobbies? How did she feel seeing Steve for the first time after he got frozen? Did she and Bucky have a favorite thing to do together?
4. What is AU!Rain's relationship with Audrey? Who are her closest friends at Auradon (besides Ben)?
5. How does Rain feel when she meets Rapunzel and Eugene for the first time after finding out the truth? How much does she take after Gothel? Does she ever get to express her feelings about being taken away from her family to Gothel?
omg hi!!!! im so glad you like my ocs and i love the ones you chose, super excited to talk to you more if you wanna stick around my blog! answers below the cut!
1. Florence Hargreeves, what are her powers? Telekinesis and mind control! Which sibling does she get along with most? Klaus! They had similar coping mechanisms and personalities! What did she think about Vanya's book? Hm, she understood why they wrote it, but was really hurt by what was said about her and her everyone else’s trauma was ignored.
Tumblr media
2.What are Carola's thoughts about Thor? Besties!!! In another life they so get together. Does Loki trying to take over earth cause a rift between them? Yes!!!! Cara is on earth at the time and he tries to get her to join him and she’s like ‘no lol’. Does she have any powers? no! but she does know a few spells! im thinking she lowkey becomes an asgardian witch
Tumblr media
3. What are Olive's hobbies? In the 40s, she was really interested in cosmetology, now she likes journaling. How did she feel seeing Steve for the first time after he got frozen? Oh she threw up. She saw him on TV and was so shocked and anxious she had to go to the loo. Did she and Bucky have a favorite thing to do together? Bucky liked dancing, Liv liked the cinema. They LOVED people watching.
Tumblr media
4. What is AU!Rain's relationship with Audrey? They’re friends, in the most basic way. Audrey thinks she’s better than Rayne, Rayne thinks Audrey needs to go to therapy. Who are her closest friends at Auradon (besides Ben)? Jane! I’m thinking of maybe giving her some oc besties but shes a bit of a loner, some could say she was destined to be with Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay.
Tumblr media
5. How does Rain feel when she meets Rapunzel and Eugene for the first time after finding out the truth? How much does she take after Gothel? Does she ever get to express her feelings about being taken away from her family to Gothel?
Okay imma answer this one as a chunk because they all link together really well! I’m a firm believer in nurture over nature, but that includes the society you grew up in. So Rain learnt a LOT from her friends. But still, before going to Auradon, she has no problems manipulating and using people, she got that from Gothel.
So! at the end of D1, Rain is skeptical about Gothel (and so is everyone else lol), and has spent the weekend with the a Fitzherberts cos Ruby is her roommate, and that family is like 👀. SO she goes to the isle and confronts gothel and there’s a screaming match. Rain returns to o her dorm and Ruby us in bed and she just gets in next to her and SOBS.
Rain is avoiding it all for a month lol, and Ruby is still her roommate, and Ethan is still running photography club, and Ben is trying to get her to see her parents. She’s confused and upset, but also comforted when she meets them again.

📓 📓 📓 (plot per book pls!!)
ALRIGHT LET'S DO IT!
MISS AMERICANA AND THE HEARTBREAK PRINCE
So I have this reylo fic I’ve been meaning to write for years called Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince. It’s a high school AU that is based on A Cinderella Story (one of my top five fave movies of all-time) but doesn’t follow it exactly–it’s a little darker, just bc of the nature of adapting the characters’ backstories, especially Finn and Ben. (They are all seniors unless otherwise specified.) 
Rey plays the role of Sam/Cinderella. Her mom died when she was young, leaving her to be raised by her abusive stepfather, Brendol Hux. Said stepfather favors his kids, Hux and Phasma (Armitage goes by his last name. Phasma is a nickname, but I think she has a real one that gets brought up). However, he also puts a lot of pressure on them as athletes (unsure what sport they do, figure skating maybe.) 
In ACS it’s a running gag that Sam’s twin stepsisters are really bad at their sport (synchronized swimming). In this, they’re good, but it’s to their detriment. (The exploitation of underage athletes is a recurring theme in this fic.)
(I like the trope where the evil stepmother–or stepfather in this case–is abusive to the step-siblings, too, just in a different way, just bc it strikes me as more relatable.) 
Rey works at the business Brendol runs, a mechanic shop/diner. She’s saving up money for college, but she’s also kind of forced to work long hours by Brendol. Her fairy godmother is obviously the manager of the diner, Daae Leira. 
Finn is Carter, but instead of acting, his whole thing is that he was a competitive athlete who fought for emancipation from his abusive family and won, and now he wants to major in journalism to shed light on the issue. 
Rose is Astrid (the DJ in the movie, she does have a name) who wants to major in broadcast journalism. So they both work on the school paper and that brings them together. 
And ofc, Ben is Austin. Captain of the water polo team, known for being aggressive and competitive, but secretly wants to be a writer. He has this kind of ruthless reputation for having gotten his own sister expelled by planting weed in her locker to prevent himself from getting kicked off the football team for having it. 
In reality, he got Cara expelled because his football coach–abusive, manipulative Snoke–was about to turn his attention to Cara, who had joined the girls’ water polo team against Ben’s advice. And Ben was terrified of Cara getting tied up with Snoke the way he had by that point. (Cara now goes to a boarding school in Northern CA, as opposed to the San Fernando valley where everything takes place.)
Anyways, Ben’s friends are Poe Dameron and Sage Skylstad. Poe is on the team with him and Sage is someone he’s been friends with since middle school. 
Ben and Rey have this online relationship. They know they go to the same school, but other than that they don’t know the other’s identity. When Rey finds out, her fear is less about Ben being super popular (he’s not), and more about him having that asshole reputation. (A more mild stressor is Sage–everyone at their school is convinced the two are dating, because of the whole “men and women can’t be platonic friends” thing. They are not and both find the idea gross.) 
Anyway. Rey gets her Cinderella moment, Snoke gets exposed by Finn and Rose, Ben gets his “I’m throwing away YOUR dream” moment, and they live happily ever after. I also wanted to do some sequels about them in college, Poe/Cara getting together, stuff like that. 
BETWEEN TWO POINTS/IN SCREAMING COLOR
So I had this idea for a series of Community fics. The series is called Between Two Points. The first three would each center on one ship. The first one, called In Screaming Color, would be Abed/OC. The second one would be Britta/Troy and the third would be Jeff/Annie. However, I think if I went back and did it now, I’d probably change it to Britta/OFC and Abed/OC/Troy, so I’ll outline it that way from here. 
In Screaming Color would just be Abed/OC, Troy would come into play later, I think it takes place after he leaves but while they’re still in school. The OC–I’ll call her Drew for now, that’s when she was my self-insert but I think I’d wanna make her a full OC if I wrote this–is a Dance major. She’s had a crush on Abed for awhile, ever since the Who’s the Boss debacle where he made the instructor cry or whatever, I need to rewatch the show. (I vaguely remember that I had to move the timeline and have this episode be earlier for things to make sense.) She was in that class and fell in love with how passionate Abed is about things like sitcoms–she’s also deeply passionate about things like that (she writes fanfic, etc) and felt a connection to that. 
However, Abed remains basically unaware of her existence until he has to do a music video for a class. She auditions for the main role (a ballerina in a music box who falls down and has to find her way around the music box–that’s my working theory on what it is, although I may change it if I think of something more thematically relevant) and gets the part. 
From there it’s this psychological thing where there’s a lot of miscommunication (mostly on Drew’s part) and false assumptions (mostly on Abed’s part) where she’s trying to make it clear that she’s genuinely interested in him, but he rebuffs her because he finds the trope of a director getting involved with actresses on set to be tired. (Feminist king.) And also because, you’ll remember in an early episode that Abed says “a lot of girls like me because I’m adorable and my aloofness reminds them of their fathers.” Even as he starts to like her, he thinks that she’s only interested in him because of the director persona he puts on. 
Eventually they have an actual conversation where she admits when she started liking him and why–she doesn’t like him because he’s aloof, she likes him because he’s deeply passionate about stories and storytelling and she can see that in everything he does, even if nobody else sees it that way. And they end up dating and are cute <3 In fics #2 and #3 they can often be found in the background doing fun things and acting out their favorite tropes. (Drew introduces him to the idea of acting out tropes instead of specific scenes or movies that exist, and he becomes obsessed.) 
Fic #2, currently untitled, would take place after the finale and would be a Britta/OC that ends in a decision to not get married but instead have a non-legally binding promise ceremony, because Britta doesn’t want to get married but she does want to be with the OC forever. I still like Troy/Britta, but idk if I see them working long-term, and I also think it would be a fun exercise to look at Britta and see what she would need in someone as a long-term love interest. 
Fic #3, also currently untitled, would see Annie coming back from Quantico for Britta’s wedding, years after leaving in the finale. She would have gone through a lot of personal growth in the years in between, and the fic would have her and Jeff get together in some way. Idk, I haven’t thought that hard about it, I just like them. 
(I also sometimes toyed with the idea of a fic that takes place in before fic# 3 that sees Annie having that personal growth in Quantico–it would be a Criminal Minds crossover and she’d be in the BAU.) 
And the final fic, Fic #4 would go back to right after Fic #1 when they’re all still in school. It would be an anthology fic where each chapter is about Drew’s relationship with the other members of the study group–how they met and what their dynamic is and when and why that member accepted her into their circle. For example, I wanted to move that one episode where Jeff gets bullied by some teenagers to be later in the timeline, and have Drew get involved, and that’s how she and Jeff connect. 
The last chapter–maybe the last few chapters, or maybe I’d make it a separate fic, idk if I could do the character work necessary in one chapter. But it would overlap with fic #3. Like Annie, Troy comes back for Britta’s wedding. (I think he and Britta are still close and there’s a lot of affection there even though they know they weren’t supposed to be forever, and I think Troy is really happy Britta found her person.)
Anyways, this would be when Troy/Drew/Abed gets together as a polyamorous triad. I think both Troy and Abed had those feelings before but never addressed them because they didn’t want to ruin their friendship and because it felt kind of off somehow. But Troy was gone for awhile and Abed didn’t fall apart–in fact, he’s proven to himself that he is capable of being in a long-term relationship that’s healthy. Their relationship has already undergone the worst scenario possible, so I think they’re more confident that if they broke up, they’d still be friends. And that feeling of off-ness is gone with Drew in the mix. 
(Abed and Drew admit to each other that even though they love each other atp, there always felt like there was a missing space in their relationship–it’s just generally this idea that the three of them are supposed to be in this kind of relationship with each other and that’s what’s always been right for them, they just had to wait for the pieces to fall into place.) 
Drew also panics when she realizes so many tropes are based on monogamous relationships until Abed reminds her that she is a writer and she can make up new stories for them, which she does. 
WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?
This was gonna be a reylo role-reversal AU. With Cara in the mix, things that unfolded in canon shifted, and, long story short, Snoke was unsuccessful in turning Ben Solo to the dark side, so he set his sights on Rey instead and since she had no support network, he succeeded. Now Rey is the leader of the Knights of Ren who finds herself inexplicably drawn to smuggler Ben Solo. Would also include Finnrose (maybe a role reversal on them, too? Stormtrooper Rose and maintenance worker Finn?) and Damara (not role reversal I don’t think bc I can’t see Cara as anything other than an engineer, but their relationship may be different in some way.) 
I honestly didn’t have a lot planned for this lol, it was just something I was toying with. I obviously wasn’t the first to come up with the idea but I thought it would be fun to explore and put my mark on it.

FFXIV WOL Intros
I did one for SWTOR lol so I wanna introduce my WOLs too ^.^
Tumblr media
More info under the cut
In order of creation to not show favoritism lol
Tumblr media
Ok he's my main so there's a little bit of favoritism.
Name: Ash'ir
Race: Veena Viera
Age: 34
Main Job: Machinist
Secondary Jobs: Reaper, Sage, Gunbreaker, Dancer
Max Level Jobs: All :)
Relationship: Married to Cara (irl partner's wol)
Fun Fact: In my canon universe, Ash is the wol. He's a very reluctant hero at first but grows comfortable in his role as time progresses. He left his home in the Skatay Range as he felt being forced into the role of wood-warder was unfair. He wanted to explore the world freely, so he traveled to Ul'dah on his own. He was trained as an archer (though mechanically I started as a thaumaturge).
Tumblr media
Name: Azrael, of the Dotharl tribe
Race: Xaela Au Ra
Age: 29
Main Job: Summoner
Max Level Jobs: Summoner/Scholar, Warrior
Relationship: With G'raha Tia
Fun Fact: Originally, Azrael could not manipulate aether at all. He began as a warrior. During the crystal tower arc, he took some notes and materials left from old tests and experimented on himself. His marks give him the ability to manipulate aether, but they are slowly bleeding out of their containment cells and killing him. He and G'raha are working together to find a solution.
Tumblr media
Name: Z'ander
Race: Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te
Age: 25
Main Job: Sage
Max Level Jobs: Sage, Dark Knight, Machinist
Relationship: Poly, with both Thancred and Erenville
Fun Fact: Being on the first surrounded by so much light aether permanently altered his appearance. His hair was originally much darker, but he lost all color in it. He was the first of my non-wol PCs to be summoned by the Exarch, so he suffered the most permanent consequences.
Tumblr media
Name: Luna, of the Dazkar tribe
Race: Xaela Au Ra
Age: 26
Main Job: Astrologian
Max Level Jobs: Astro, Dragoon, Dancer
Relationship: With Magnai Oronir
Fun Fact: Luna has always been gifted in the reading of the moon and stars, and practiced as an astrologian long before meeting the group in Ishgard. Her talent gave her a level of predictive power which was invaluable to her tribe at the Steppe.
Tumblr media
Name: Sevran
Race: Rava Viera
Age: 22
Main Job: White Mage
Max Level Jobs: None he's baby
Relationship: Currently single
Fun Fact: Ok he's actually my newest alt and still progressing msq so I haven't fully settled on every aspect of him ;-; one day I'll have a fun fact for him to put here

Title: Boss Ass Bitch | Word Count: 2645 | Rating: Explicit (18+!!!) 
Pairing: Arthur Morgan x female reader (in this chapter)
Tags: modern AU, mechanic AU, work in progress
Chapters: [1] [2]
Your first week in your new job flies by quickly. Molly's got so much to teach you that you can't focus on anything else. Only during your breaks, you have a moment to look through the huge window that lets you watch the boys in the garage. 
Most of the time, they're busy with their work, but sometimes you can hear their laughter through the wall when they're joking with each other. Once in a while, one of them comes into the office to talk something out with Molly, but you're too busy to pay attention.
By the time week two rolls around, you feel confident to be on your own. Molly leaves her number just in case and assures you that you can always ask the boys if you have more questions. You smile and nod while thinking that you'll try to avoid that option.
Come Monday, you get to the shop almost an hour early, but you're still not the first there. The door is open, and the lights are on. When you make your way to the office, Charles comes along the corridor that leads to the boys' changing room. 
Surprise graces his face when he sees you, but then he smiles. "Good morning."
"Morning."
"You're early."
"I thought it might be a good idea to get a headstart," you say, suddenly feeling stupid. You're a grown woman, after all, you shouldn't be so nervous. "You're early yourself."
Charles shrugs. "I get up with the sun most of the time. Just can't sleep any longer."
"I wish that was me," you sigh. "I don't mind sleeping in."
"I hope you'll still have a good day."
"Thank you," you say, warmth spreading in your chest. Unlike most people, Charles sounds genuine, and you can do with the encouragement. You still smile after Charles when he walks over to the car he's working on, but then you put yourself together and disappear into your new office.
The first two hours go by quickly, and you have a good feeling about your work. So far, you know exactly what to do, and you're confident you can make it through the day without messing up. Thanks to the big window, you can see that Arthur and John arrived as well. 
You watch the boys for a bit while all three of them bend into the same car, involved in a serious discussion. Compared to your first day, they are moderately dressed for once. Charles and John both wear blue overalls, and while John's is so dirty that his one appears black, he at least closed the buttons. 
Arthur's wearing blue pants as well, with a simple gray shirt, and you're once again pissed because they can look this good without effort. With a sigh, you go back to an email you've started when the office door opens.
"Hey Molly, we need-" Arthur says while coming in but stops himself when he sees you. "Sorry, I was looking for Molly."
"She's not here today," you say, getting nervous again. "In fact, she's not coming anymore. She put me in charge."
"Oh good," Arthur says, and just like Charles, he seems pleased. "I just need the schedule, and then I'm out of your hair."
The nervous feeling wanders from your chest up into your throat. "Schedule?"
"Yeah, so we know which cars to finish first. Or the 'yeet sheet' as John likes to call it."
You remember Molly mentioning that as well, and a light turns on in your head. "Yes, of course. Molly prepared it on Friday."
You see the sheet in front of your inner eye, but then nothing. Arthur walks up to your desk, rubbing his hands. "Great, can I have it?"
"I, um, don't remember where she put it," you admit. "I can call her."
"No need, you can just print out a new one," Arthur says, rounding your desk. "I've done it a few times when Molly was busy. Let me show you."
Arthur leans over your shoulder, pointing to the folders you need while you sneak side-glances at him. You already found him attractive from afar, but up close, it's way worse. He has lovely blue eyes with sort of a golden ring in the middle, and his beard looks so soft, you have to fight the urge to rub your face against his. 
Arthur's scent doesn't help either. There are strong undertones of the garage, like motor oil and metal, but also something fresh like recently washed sheets. You take a deep breath and try to focus on what Arthur is showing you, but then he leans in even closer to read the folders' names.
"That must be it," he says, pointing to one of them.
A shiver runs down your spine when his breath ghosts over the skin on your neck, and you can feel the heat radiating from him. You wish you could turn around and bury your face in his chest but instead, you print out the file he needs, your eyes hefted to the screen.
"There you go."
"Thank you, my lady," Arthur says. He walks over to the printer and waves a little goodbye with the piece of paper before leaving you alone in your office. 
You use the next few minutes to stare blankly at your screen, trying to stomach what just happened, from Arthur casually calling you 'my lady' to you feeling like a cat in heat just because a guy stood a little too close to you.
Over the last few weeks, you've been so busy with the job change that you didn't even think to take care of yourself. Being confronted with three good looking guys every day clearly doesn't help your situation. You decide to battle your horniness the second you get home today and go back to work.
You manage to get through the rest of the week without any more hiccups, and aside from some annoying or unfriendly clients, this might just be the best job you've ever had. In the mornings, you often run into Charles, getting your first smile of the day. Then you exchange some small talk with Arthur while he's getting his caffeine fix in the break room, and John's usually the one to stay late, closing up with you.
They're all so nice that you consider yourself spoiled. Still, you deserve a treat, so you use the weekend for some intense self-care. At first, you feel a bit guilty when the boys enter your mind as you pleasure yourself, but you can't help it, and it does wonders for your body and soul.
You go back to work on Monday with a big smile on your face, and time flies by. You're not even tired when it's time to go home again. As your last act of the day, you do a little inventory check. It's your job to stock up the break room and buy necessities like toilet paper and cleaning supplies.
When you come back from the kitchen, the garage is dark. Arthur's been the last of the boys, but it seems that he went home by now, so you grab your clipboard and head for the guy's changing room to see if they need anything refilled.
You should have noticed that the lights are still on, but you're busy writing down what to buy the next day. After waltzing into the room, you look up and freeze on the spot.
Arthur is standing in front of the lockers with a towel over his head to dry his hair. The problem is that that's the only thing covering him. You stare at his naked body, your eyes roaming from his feet upward over his manhood to his bare chest, and you can't bring yourself to look away.
Swallowing a lump in your throat, you forget to hold on to your clipboard, and it clutters to the ground with an overly loud sound. Arthur comes out from under the towel, staring at you with surprise.
"Sorry, I- I didn't- I mean, I thought-" you stammer, unable to finish a single sentence. "God, I didn't mean to-"
You're still staring at Arthur until he has the sense to put the towel around his hips. Finally, you can move and get on the floor to retrieve your clipboard and a few loose pages. "I'm so sorry, I thought I was alone."
"It's fine, don't worry about it," Arthur says, his voice calm.
While you can feel your face grow hot, Arthur doesn't sound embarrassed at all. You put the pages back into the clipboard and dare to look at him again. In hindsight, you shouldn't have done that. The towel is barely covering Arthur, so you still have an excellent view of his body. You can't help but take it in, and when your eyes meet Arthur's, there's something challenging in them.
"Do you want to come over here?" 
You know you should turn and run, but Arthur's voice lures you in as if he was a well-built siren. Your feet take you the few steps over to him all on their own, and you're enveloped by Arthur's fresh scent. He takes the clipboard and places it on a bench next to you before reaching for your face.
Arthur lifts up your chin, and when you look at him, there's still the fire in his eyes, but he's smiling. "Hey," he says, and you feel calmer somehow.
You manage a shaky "hey" as well, and Arthur's fingers trail along your face before cupping your cheek. 
"Mind if I kiss you?"
You can't remember anybody asking you this before, and your brain has a hard time coming up with an answer. After all, Arthur's right there, still built like a demigod and still deliciously naked.
"I- um, I wouldn't mind," you say, still wondering why he would even want to.
Before you can think of a reason, Arthur already leans in, pressing a soft kiss to your lips. He keeps teasing you, but when you're still frozen on the spot, he retreats.
"I'm not trying to pressure-" Arthur starts, but your mind finally catches up.
You throw your arms around his neck and pull him in for another kiss. Since you're way less gentle than him, Arthur matches your eagerness, his tongue rubbing hot against your own. 
Despite your little fun sessions at home, you still feel charged with sexual energy, and you can't help but grind against Arthur with your whole body. He takes to kissing along your neck, and his hands wander to your breasts.
"Have to admit that I've been thinking about this," he says as his fingers rub your nipples through the fabric of your top. "Those blouses and the damn skirts."
You just tried to look professional, so it's quite a nice piece of information that your get up railed Arthur up just as much as his clothes bothered you. 
"Take them off then," you say, growing bolder. This is already happening, so you might as well go the distance.
Arthur growls as he fumbles with the buttons of your shirt, and the second he gets them all open, he pushes down the fabric of your bra to expose your naked skin. Kissing down your body, Arthur sits down on the bench, pushing up your skirt next.
When he caresses your thighs, you eagerly spread your legs, and Arthur pulls down your underwear before his face takes its place. You let out a little squeal when his tongue touches you, but he keeps going, and you hold on to his shoulder to keep yourself upright.
Arousal pools between your legs and you just know you're going to paint Arthur's face with your juices if he keeps going like that. Digging your fingers into Arthur's hair, you can't help but rub yourself against him, eager to get as much friction as possible.
Arthur keeps licking you with slow, hot strokes of his tongue while his hands wander upwards until he can touch your breasts. Your nipples grow hard in the cold air, and he keeps teasing them until you can't take it anymore.
You hold Arthur in place, your thighs shaking as you come, and his moans are just as bad as yours. Usually, you'd be quite satisfied now, but you can only think about wanting more.
After releasing Arthur from your iron grip, you pull the towel away and climb on Arthur's lap. While kissing, you reach for his cock, making him groan against your lips. You've never done anything like this before, but now you can only think about riding Arthur until you forget your own name.
You take position over Arthur and carefully lower yourself onto him until he's fully sheeted inside you.
"Jesus Christ, you're tight," Arthur groans, his fingers digging into your hips.
As slowly as you can, you move up again, making Arthur curse. It feels just as good for you, the constant rub bringing even more heat, and you put your arms around Arthur's neck so you can ride him properly.
He's holding on to your hips, doing his fair share to lift you up, but he gets distracted and nibbles and licks wherever he can reach you. You wish it wouldn't turn you on that much, since you're usually not one for one night stands or sex in weird places.
Although it's late, you can't shake the idea that Charles or John could come back. Even worse, what if Dutch showed up? You roll your hips for more friction and deliberately clench your muscles around Arthur.
"Goddamn, girl," Arthur growls, "don't do that."
Arthur holds you in place when you don't stop, pushing into you with a few sharp thrusts. He moans with his head buried against your neck, his whole body going rigid when he comes.
You hold still to give him a moment, not ready for him suddenly lifting you up so he can put you down on the bench next to him.
Arthur dives between your legs, his beard scratching your thighs as he licks you again. All you can do is hold on to the bench, skitting towards bliss without a break. You arch your back when you hit your breaking point, and Arthur lets you rut against him until you're completely satisfied.
All you can do now is stare up at the ceiling and catch your breath. Arthur cleans himself up with his towel before running a warm hand along your thigh.
"I'll be right back," he says, and soon he offers you some tissues to get yourself cleaned up as well. When you sit up, Arthur watches you intently. "You alright?"
"I was supposed to do some inventory for the order tomorrow."
"That's what you're thinking about?" Arthur huffs.
"I'm sorry, I'm just so used to planning everything," you explain. "This is not how I imagined my evening."
"Me neither. It's bad enough that you're distracting me during work. I didn't think it would happen after."
You wish you could say something to that, but you get so flustered that you focus on putting your clothes in order instead. 
"Don't worry about the order," Arthur says, "I know what we need; I can just tell you."
"That would be great," you say, picking up your clipboard, but before you take any notes, you look Arthur over. "Maybe you should get dressed first."
"Why?"
"It's distracting."
Arthur leans back with a smile, giving you an even better view. "Really?"
You lean in to give him a kiss, right before clutching the clipboard to his chest. "That list better be on my desk tomorrow at 9am."
"Yes, ma'am," Arthur says, but he doesn't move, so you turn tail and run.
If you stay, chances are you're going to eat your dinner off of him.

Whose rowan? You mentioned him in an ask about people in the middle at the centre?
ah, we are delving into the lore now
Rowan comes from the Avenger Games AUs. He's younger than everyone else (he's uhhh 5? years younger than Petra I think?), hence he only becomes relevant in the Loki universes where the Games continue on before a rebellion in ......... the mid 80s?
(Don't ask me about timelines this was literally a decade ago)
anyway Rowan came from a Centre family, like if the Sewards were well-adjusted, lol. both parents went through Residential but never made the final cut, he spent most of his childhood sparring and roughhousing so even though he was noooot aggressive at all, he was so good and charming he got through pretty far
he had a bb boyfriend in the program (Blake) with a more typical upbringing (shitty dad, anger issues). they were very cute together and some of the trainers used to let a few things slide (like not being so careful about PDA or basically living in each other's rooms). but eventually the head gave them a warning that they weren't here to be like ... 15yo husbands, they were here to train, so either get serious about the program or leave. Rowan chose to leave, thinking Blake would do the same. Blake stayed, afraid what would happen if they chose "wrong". it messed them BOTH up for a long time.
Rowan goes through detox and grows up to be a detox counsellor himself. Blake goes through a few years later and ... I'm not sure what he does, honestly, I know he has a rough time of it for a while. in modern universes he's a mechanic, so he might do that here too.
in the regular universes they're still kids! like they would have been about to get the warning when the war starts and the whole Centre gets locked down. so they'd be there postwar when Claudius, Lachlan, Cara and Jason are working with the Centre kids to help deprogram. which is weird! but good in a way, they get to be happy
and uhhhhhhh I had completely forgotten this but in the original universe Rowan dates Alec who ............... dies! in the rebellion! I FORGOT I ORIGINALLY INVENTED ALEC TO BE THE CHARMING HANDSOME PERFECT BOYFRIEND WHO DIES TRAGICALLY and now I need to lie down for a bit

Final sacrifice (Chapter 11)
Din finally remembers what happened in Sorgan and Omera admits some truths that he may not be ready to handle! ^^
Posted on AO3 on the following link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/38372269/chapters/97135575
Comments are always very appreciated! 😁
Final sacrifice
General synopsis: AU universe, in which removing your helmet is punished by death if the members of the covert esteem it so. Otherwise all canon compliant until E16 “The Rescue”, where Skywalker doesn’t show up but Din fights the Dark Troopers with the Darksaber. Din and Grogu, together, they find the covert, mostly as occurs in E5 of TBOBF. This fanfic takes off from where Din accepts Paz’s duel for the DarkSaber.
Relationships: Mando x Omera
Characters: Din Djarin, Grogu, Omera, Winta. Eventually Cara, Fennec, Boba Fett
Warnings: references to child abuse, violence against children, medical procedures, brain injury.
Link to chapter 10
Link to chapter 12
 During the upcoming days, Din insisted on walking up and down the corridors of the palace. His leg muscles were still extremely weak, and would often fail him, causing him occasionally to fall or at least stumble. His shortness of breath didn’t help reassuring anyone, but he still insisted on exercising and he would spend as much time as he could on his feet.
Omera took it on herself to accompany him during his walks despite his various requests to be let wander on his own. He didn’t need to be physically supported, at least not continuously, and Omera made sure to help only when he risked falling. She knew he risked nothing within the walls of the palace, but she couldn’t get herself to leave him be alone. She kept wondering if his request of being left alone to exercise came more from the habit of being alone or a real wish of being on his own. The truth was, she didn’t have the courage to ask and decided to continue being present for him as long as he didn’t openly ask her to leave.
They would often walk in silence, each comfortable within their own thoughts. But whenever they exchanged some words, always about some mundane thing, Din’s expression would soften, abandoning for a brief moment the clear effort and pain that walking caused, and that lit up Omera’s heart each time.
After one of their walks, they came back to Din’s room to find the medical droid standing, clearly waiting for his patient.
-“Din Djarin”, it commenced. “A scan of your brain and heart is required to assess the progress of your recovery”.
Din lifted one eyebrow as if uncertain on how to react.
-“Proceed to lie down so I can initiate my assessment”.
After some hesitation and Omera’s encouragement he complied with the droid, which was quick to start scanning with a mediscan both his heart and head. Omera saw how Din remained stoically and with eyes closed during the process, and wondered if he was truly okay with the process or if it was just a coping mechanism to remain calm. After a couple of minutes, the droid gave its evaluation.
-“Your improvement is advancing at a much lower rhythm than expected. A third bacta session is recommended. I will show you to the bacta tank.”
-“That won’t be necessary”, stepped in Omera trying again to win him some droid-free time. “I will take him”.
Din nodded and they moved to the room holding the tank.
-“Get yourself ready and undress. I will go find the child in the meantime”.
Din looked at her questioningly, unsure as to why the child would need, or even want, to be present.
-“He’s been by your side at each session. Let him be here for you this time as well. I promise I will explain everything in due time.”
Before he could change his mind, Omera turned to the door determined to find Grogu.
---
When she came back, baby securely in her arms, Din was already in his black shorts and inside the tank, which was filling progressively with the bacta solution. He had just enough time to greet the kid by putting his hand on the tank’s window and put the regulator in his mouth before his face was covered with the liquid. Giving in to the treatment, after a brief moment he closed his eyes.
Omera recovered her position at the chair that she had installed next to the tank. After a while trying to keep the child moderately entertained with some lap playing, to Omera’s regret, Din’s nightmares were at rendez-vous. The child cooed sadly, but Omera saw the determination in his eyes, wanting nothing more than to help his buir once again. She offered him her hand and Grogu put his other hand on the tank’s window. As the kid closed his eyes, the room around her faded away.
Next thing she knew she was walking through the forest. She recognized those trees, she was in Sorgan. She was surprised to see the big blue Mandalorian walking casually next to her. She could see her own –Din’s– boots, progressing through the forest.
-“I know we haven’t had the best of relationships, but know I hate this as much as you do”, she heard the big Mandalorian say. After a brief silence, during which she could only focus on the sound of the dry leaves under the Mandalorians’ boots, the man continued.
-“My father… he didn’t hate you as much as you think, you know? He just…”
-“Save it, Vizsla” Omera clearly heard Din’s modulated voice interrupt the blue armored man.  Vizsla, Omera thought. Wasn’t that the name she heard in the clans’ heads meeting? The one supposed to be in charge of rescuing Din as a child?
-“Let’s just get this over with” she heard Din continue.
Omera saw how they soon arrived at a clearing. To her horror, she realized it was where she had found the Mandalorian bleeding to death. The small ship the blue Mandalorian had left with was stationed in the middle. Her heart was racing. She couldn’t tell if it was Din’s or actually hers, knowing what she was about to witness. She needed to get out of there. She didn’t want to be there. Surely the child shouldn't be there. She thought that if she wished it strongly enough, she would somehow wake them up from the dream. But a presence was holding her tight, obliging her to stay.
-“Here we are”, the big man said.
She saw herself turn around to face the blue Mandalorian. After hearing a deep breath, she witnessed how Din stopped walking and slowly turned to face the other Mandalorian. After a brief moment, Din started removing with precision each of the pieces composing his armor, laying them in front of him with uttermost care and respect. Last came the helmet. Without the filter of the visor, her view changed dramatically, the intense light of the Sorgan sun nearly blinding her despite the trees. The colors were sharper, the greens of the leaves crisp and contrasting with the different shades of yellows and browns. Din sat on his heels in front of the big Mandalorian, and set helmet in front of him. He saw how the other man crouched as well, producing a glass in which he poured a transparent liquid.
-“Ceremonial Tihaar drinking, for purification”, the tall man said. “One sip for greed, three for hesitation” he said reverently.
Omera saw how Din’s gloved hands grabbed the glass.
-“One sip for greed”, he repeated while taking a sip from the glass. Omera felt how the drink burned it's way down Din's throat. “One for hesitation”, another sip. Omera saw that the other Mandalorian slightly tilted his head, probably astonished at Din changing what seemed the ritual's words. “One for the anger that has filled my heart over the years”, sip. “And one last one for the people I leave behind, that have seen past what I show to be and have seen me for who I really am”. And with that Din gulped down in one shot the remaining contents of his glass of Tihaar.
Omera felt Din grab something from his boot, and horrified, saw how he produced his vibroblade which he set respectfully in front of him with the now empty glass.
-“Grogu, lets please get out of here. Please, sweetheart, we need to stop now”, Omera said outloud. Or at least she thought she had said that outloud, but there was no sign that the nightmare was stopping or that they were getting out of Din’s head.
-“You broke the Creed, and willingly removed your helmet. The tribe has determined death to be your sentence” said the blue Mandalorian with a strong voice.
-“Through the Hokaanir epan, nobody except me is owner of my fate” she heard Din say. “I broke the Creed, removed my helmet. I did it for my foundling. It was The Way, the only Way to get him back from the hands of those who wished him bad”.
Omera, who was focusing through Din’s eyes on the vibroblade set in front of her, saw in the corner of her eyes Grogu’s small feet, approaching her. She knew that Grogu was not there at that moment, she was sure of that. He was interacting with Din through his nightmare. She saw the questioning look in the kid’s eyes. Did he really understand what was happening? She didn’t think so, and felt how he gently put his hand on one of Din’s thighs.
Omera saw Din’s hand grab the vibroblade.
-“Grogu! Please stop this. You have to stop right now, sweetheart” she told him. But she didn’t think her heard her. “GROGU! STOP! NOW!” she felt herself scream, but there was no reaction of the baby, who still looked up to Din questioningly.
She wanted so badly to close her eyes, avoid seeing the final sacrifice that this man was willing to undertake to honor the Creed he swore as a kid, while protecting the child he had learnt to love as his own.
And with one swift movement, Omera felt the sharp pain of the vibroblade sinking in the left side of Din's gut, and how it ripped through his abdomen all the way to the right side. Her gaze fell to her hands, Din’s hands, still holding the vibroblade lodged in the man’s gut.
She was able to look back at Grogu, now crying inconsolably while holding his arms high, as if he could have prevented what he just witnessed. She felt Din’s body tilting, losing balance despite sitting on his heels, and just as she was about to hit the ground, she found herself back in the back tank room.
Grogu was clearly in shock, eyes wide open, tears sliding down his tiny cheeks. The Mandalorian had woken up apparently at the same time they did, and was awake and thrashing uncontrollably within the tank, moving his right arm clearly fumbling for the button that would cancel the bacta session and release him from the tank. Before Omera could set down the baby to come and help Din, the bacta had already started to empty. Once she was sure that Grogu was safely on the floor, she helped the Mandalorian open the tank and get himself out. He was panting, having clear difficulty breathing. He sat on the edge of the tank trying to catch up his breath.
He saw Grogu, scared and slowly taking some steps backwards, away from his buir.
-“Hey kid”, he continued panting. “I’m sorry, I didn’t– I didn't mean to scare you. I was dreaming…”, he tried justifying. Omera doubted he knew that Grogu was aware of what he was dreaming about, rather what he was remembering.
Grogu’s expression changed from sadness and surprise to anger, and anger neither Omera or Din had seen before in the small child.
-“Pal?” he said questioningly, struggling to get up and approach the kid to reassure him.
To both Din and Omera's surprise, Grogu closed his eyes shut and with a sudden movement of one of his hands, used the force to send his father flying to the other side of the room. The Mandalorian's body hit the wall of the far end of the room with a loud thunk and he fell limply to the ground.
Before Omera could approach him, Grogu’s expression turned again to sadness, clearly regretting what he had just done. But just as the first of his new tears touched the ground, he turned around and started running for the door.
Omera run to the Mandalorian. She found him unconscious and unresponsive.
-“HELP!” she screamed.
She crouched next to the limp body of the man, which she took in her arms, rocking him gently while calling him, hoping that he would wake up before she could go and attend the baby.
-“HELP!” she screamed again when she got no response from Din.
The medical droid came in and, without requiring any further explanation, started to assess the man’s medical status.
-“Stay with him”, Omera ordered the droid. “I need to find the baby”.
---
Omera rushed out of the room and into the corridor, searching for the baby. She went back to their room, and saw Winta kneeling next to the bed.
-"Momma, the baby is under the bed, he's very upset, but he won't come out" Winta said worriedly.
-"It's okay, baby, you can come out now" said Omera sweetly while reaching out for him with her hand.
-"What happened, Momma?"
-"He got angry at the Mandalorian" she said, keeping things vague, with the sole purpose of protecting her own child. She actually didn't really have the time to think about what the child was feeling and what in particular triggered the anger he showed back in the room.
-"Grogu, sweetheart, come out with us" Omera tried again, reaching with her hand further under the bed. "We are both here for you, let's figure this out together, shall we?".
To her surprise, the child shyly reached for her hand and came out from under the bed. He was crying, and Omera and Winta both took him in a big hug. And for the first time, unlike the previous times when he cried in silence, she heard him actually sob.
Omera and the kids stayed like that, sitting on the floor, comforting Grogu until he calmed down. Winta would softly talk to him about the things Boba and Fennec had been telling her about life in Tatooine. Omera melted at the empathy that her daughter was showing, she felt her heart fill with pride, sure that Winta would grow to be a sweet yet strong beautiful woman. Unless, she couldn't help herself think, the galaxy's ruthlessness caught up with her. The thought made her shiver. She thought of how Din's life as a kid must have been before being taken by the Mandalorians. Did his parents think the same things she thought about Winta? A child, with a kind heart, one that she knew clearly remained though having to adapt to the culture and traditions of a cruel warrior culture.
A knock on the door interrupted her train of thought.
-"Come in" she said gently.
To her surprise, Din opened the door.
-"Din!" She said surprised. This caused Winta and Grogu to stop interacting and turn their gaze to the door.
-"Mind if I come in?"
Grogu shifted in Omera's lap, and she saw how the baby's expression lost all the appeasement he had gained, turning again to a mixture of sadness and anger.
-"Of course" she said out of politeness, keeping her gaze fixed on the child, trying her best to reassure him with gentle strokes on his back. Whatever was going on in the baby's head, he needed to sort it out with his father.
The Mandalorian approached them and knelt beside them.
Omera realized he had a dressing gauze on the back of his head, probably as a result of the incident with the child.
-"How are you feeling?"
-"It's not important," he said, keeping his gaze fixed on the child who was doing everything possible to not look his father in the eye. For a while they all remained silent.
-"How are you, pal?"
The kid, still in Omera's arms, kept his gaze away.
-"I remember now. Going to Sorgan". He started, sitting more comfortably next to the woman and children. "I remember… you showed me through the force what you wanted us to do together" he said with the shyest of smiles. "You think you can tell me in the same way what is going on?".
-"Come, Winta", said Omera. "Let's give them some space to talk".
She was about to get up, when the child grabbed her by one of her sleeves, imploring with his eyes for her to stay. Omera, surprised by the kid's reaction, looked at Din who responded with one single nod in approval. Omera still encouraged Winta to go look for Cara or Boba to see if she could be of any help to them. Winta, quickly understanding her mother's intentions, didn't fuss about it and left the room, which filled her mother again with pride.
The kid finally looked at his father, with angry tears filling his eyes. With no gentleness, he grabbed his father's hand. Din's eyes opened wide, letting Omera sense that he was being allowed to see what the kid wanted him to see.
-"You think I… don't love you? Why would you think that?"
Din's expression changed to one of pure sadness. He took a couple of seconds to continue concentrating on what the kid was showing him through the force. But what the kid showed Din, left him speechless, eyes and mouth big open.
-"How…?" He started, although clearly at a loss on how to continue. "Even I didn't remember what happened…How could you know…".
Din looked around him, confused, until his gaze fell on Omera's. Though he clearly wasn't expecting an explanation, especially not from her, she felt obliged to fill him in.
-"Each bacta session seemed to plague you with nightmares. During the first session you were truly out of it, trying to break your way out of the tank. The child… he seemed to be able to help. He was capable of somehow connecting with you in your dreams, calming you down." She took a small pause, letting the information sink in the Mandalorian's head. It was clear to her that all these new revelations were starting to be a bit overwhelming.
-"But what he saw in your dreams clearly upset him, he began to get scared to connect with you, but he wanted so badly to help you… get you through the bacta sessions. So he started taking me in your dreams as well, I guess to feel supported".
Din's breaths started to accelerate.
-"I… You didn't…" he kept trying to say something between breaths that was never managed to say. Closing his eyes, with his right open hand he made a circle movement over his heart. Omera wondered if that meant anything in sign language. But before she could ask him about it, the Mandalorian got up and left the room.

thanks for tagging me @oonajaeadira​ ❤️
Tag some mutuals you want to get to know better! Copy and paste into a new post--don't reblog please!
Favourite time of the year: Fall. My optimal ambient temperature is about 65 degrees. I love when it cools off enough that I am not a constant ball of sweat. I love when it's cool enough for hoodies and maybe needing an extra blanket at night. I also love the way the air smells when the leaves start to turn. Halloween! Crunchy leaves! My husband and I both have fall birthdays, so that's also nice.
Comfort food: Spaghetti and meatballs. Spaghetti sauce with meatballs is one of my favorite things to cook. I also put some Italian sausage in there.To do it right, you've got to cook it low and slow for hours. It makes the house smell sooooo good. The hubby and son are perfectly content with leftovers so I usually make a pretty big batch. And really, is there anything in life better than a nice pile of pasta drowning in sauce?
Favourite dessert: Pie. Pretty much any kind of pie. I learned how to make pies around the time I quit smoking. This was almost 20 years ago, but I remember everything just tasting amazing. It was a delicious mistake. I was the one who quit smoking but me and the hubby both gained weight. I mostly save them for the holidays now. I love a slice of warm from the oven apple pie with a scoop of good quality vanilla ice cream and maybe a bit of sharp cheddar cheese.
Things you collect: Rocks, fossils, bones, feathers and shells. I can't go anywhere in nature without coming home with a pocket full of rocks.
Favourite drink: Diet Dr. Pepper
Favourite musical artist: This is so hard. Right now I am going to call it a tie between Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and David Bowie.
Last song you listened to: Golden State-- Eddie Vedder & Natalie Maines
Last movie you watched: I haven't sat down and watched a movie in a while. Might have been a Prospect re-watch.
Last series you watched: The Sandman.
Series you’re currently watching: Crash Course Geography. It's a show on youtube. The episodes are only about 15 minutes a pop but I feel like I've learned more about geography from this show than I ever did in high school.
Current obsession: Pedro Pascal (obviously), The Sandman, especially The Corinthian. WTF. I did not need another hot villain in my life. Dominion, the card game. We've been teaching my son how to play. We've only got the first edition base game, but that has plenty of repeat play-ability on its own. My son is 8 and he regularly kicks the shit out of us at Dominion. He got the basic mechanics after like two hands and now he routinely clobbers us. It's interesting because he will do things that look like they should absolutely not work and then when it's time to count up the victory points he's absolutely  kicked our asses. It makes me feel like I'm raising him right, or at least, that he is succeeding despite me.
Dream place to visit: Ireland, Scotland, Germany. These are places where my family has roots and I would like to see them first hand.
A place you’ve been that you want to go back to: Tokyo. Kenai, Alaska. Joshua Tree. Maui.
Something you want: For it to get cold enough to kill the mosquitos. I can't even hang out with my outside cat without turning into chuck steak. Also about 8 more hours in each day.
Currently working on: Halloween costume research. My son wants to be The Mandalorian (YAY!) He wanted to be Luke Skywalker and then he saw a pre-made Mandalorian costume at Sam's Club and he was like "If you don't think you can make one more realistic we can always buy this one." *cracks knuckles* are you challenging me little boy? He wants to be Mando, he's cast my husband as Cobb Vanth (hubs would make a fantastic Cobb Vanth) and he wants me to be Cara Dune. So I've got some work to do lol. Also I've been working on a Liminal AU fic and a Din Djarin x insecure!reader fic.

DinLuke Au: Crèche master Luke, he’s still an amazing Fighter, mechanic and Pilot but The Force always always drew him back to the creche.
Meanwhile Din was a Bounty Hunter who accidentally becomes Manda’lor protecting Grogu, he just Wants to peacefully raise his son.
I don’t know exactly how they meet but it probably involves Luke Protecting a new Foundling he Bringing to the Order being all sweet and nurturing before they threatened by Criminals and Luke Going All Papa Wolf and Abosolutely destroying the the threat.
Din witnesses the Sweetness and the the Massacre is like ‘Oh, on! He’s Hot!’. Because Being good with Children and being a strong Warrior are all Mandalorian bait Traits.
Luke is, and forever shall be, Mandalorian Bait. No matter what universe. No matter how they meet. Once a threat is gone (and if he's not distracted by sadness) Din will take one look at Luke and would need the strength of Cara's arms to hold him back from tackling him and proposing while also trying to think of the color scheme of their wedding.

I just wanna talk about my Mandalorian modern kid au. Generally speaking: aliens are still aliens, and imagine they're all on modern earth.
Din is a 10 y/o boy who ran away from a foster home with Grogu because it was a bad situation and they were going to get separated.
This lands him in a small town where he meets a gaggle of other kids and teens: Luke (6), Cara (9), Migs (9), Cobb (10), Omera (11), Boba (13), Ahsoka (15), and Fennec (17).
Jango (still alive) notices how dirty Din is and how hungry him and Grogu all are. Finds out he's a run away, and down the line ends up becoming his foster parent (and even later officially adopts him).
This will get long So
Some world building away from Din-
Jango Fett is a single dad. He works as a carpenter. Loves Boba dearly, even if the little shit is now middle school football player who thinks he's So Tough. Boba loves his little brothers tho.
Skywalker family is... a lot. Qui-Gon is also alive in this AU and is married to Shmi (Anakin's mother). He's a youth pastor, which is how he met and then later adopted Obi-Wan. Church food drive is how he met single mom Shmi, and they got married 💕 They never had any children together, but did adopt Ahsoka :D
I've shortened Anakin and Padmé's age gap. They were a teen pregnancy sorta deal with Padmé dying during childbirth and Anakin out of the picture due to trouble with the law.
The Organa's were under the assumption that they were only taking in one baby and were unprepared to take in another. Shmi and Qui-Gon were also not in a position to take both. (I honestly cannot think of a better reason to separate these two that isn't even more implausible).
The others have less strong backstories but:
Cobb and Cara have parents in the p*lice force. Omera lives happily with her parents on the town's farm. She's close to Fennec, and Fennec has a dicey home life and often spends time with Omera.
Leia grows up happy with the Organa's, and is well aware that Luke is her twin. They live about 45 mins away from each other (Leia lives in the city), but are absolute besties and love each other. She has a babysitter, Bo-Katan (18; HS senior), who HATES the others lmaoooo. It gets even worse when her sister, Satine, gets engaged to Obi-Wan and she learns that Ahsoka is about to become her sister-in-law.
Bo-Katan is in pain.
Ahsoka thinks this is hilarious.
They're familiar with each other because Fennec rounds up the kiddos into her car and takes them into the city so they can play at the park, get fast food, play illegal games of hide and seek at Ikea, etc.
Bo-Katan: Leia, you can play with ANYONE else, does it have to be them???
It doesn't help that they all crash her Halloween party lmao.
A few other details:
- Both Omera and Cobb have a crush on Din. Omera is shy about it, and Cobb does stupid things to look cool and get Din's attention
- Fennec has a Thing going on with Peli (19) and will likely start working at the mechanic's shop with her after she graduates in a year.
- Greef (21) is constantly exasperated and wondering where all these kids parents are
- Boba plays football and Ahsoka is a volleyball player who will pitch in for softball if they need an extra player
- Fennec sometimes hunts (for food, not sport) and is one of the best shots in town
And honestly I've got SO much more going on because my friend and I can talk for hours. If y'all have any thoughts or questions, please send them my way :D I love not shutting up
