    Summary

    Cobb can’t help smiling wryly and wondering if the Mandalorian has been looking for someone to take home who his mama would approve of.

    He wonders if the Mandalorian’s knees went weak in the face of Boba Fett’s endless list of successful bounties. He wonders if he stammers when he tries to talk to him.

    It would be cute if so.

    Cobb’s jaw has been aching for the last two days.

    (Cobb Vanth is called down to Anchorhead to investigate a case on behalf of a Tatooine historical society. He leaves having just learned that the Mandalorian he's been opening his heart to has been opening his heart to someone else.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “Playing fetch with Roach is a game which consists of two events: throwing a stick-like object across a field, and Roach running about.
    These events do not correspond with one another, as Roach is entirely unaware of the concept of fetching. Despite Geralt's best efforts and Roach's unparalleled intelligence, she simply hasn't taken to it.”

    Summary

    “What’re you making?”

    Master Dooku is gesturing at Qui asking why the remains of some long-perished vermin is parked in the middle of the caf table, but Qui cannot explain through gestures alone that this is a creative hobby, not a red flag.

    “A windchime,” Xana says tightly.

    Obi-Wan peers at the table for a long time.

    “Out of those?” he asks, pointing at the bones.

     

    (Xanatos comes home and Qui-Gon ends up with two padawans at the same time at wildly different stages of life. The lineage comes together to try to help both get settled, and of course it can't be straightforward.)

    Summary

    When Helix had first found out about Melidaan, a lot of his General's habits slotted neatly into place. Like a broken bone that healed wrong, he'd called it. All he could do was try and mitigate the damage.

    (And if he'd wished, sometimes, that he could have been there earlier, so he could have done something, so he could have helped, well-)

    Now, there is a child in his medbay, looking up at him with wary eyes. Carefully, gently, he crouches, so as not to loom. Offers him a smile.

    "Hi, Ben."

    Or:

    It's hard to ignore your trauma when it's staring you in the face, isn't it?

    Or:

    In which Helix accidentally-on-purpose adopts a kid, Ben reckons with the future, and Qui-Gon is trying to figure out how he managed to piss off an army.
