    Summary

    Luke is seeing someone, apparently.

    And really, it’s none of Anakin’s business.

    Really.

    Summary

    “You’ve got to quit doing this,” Han said.

    Luke glanced at him. “What?”

    Han made a wide impatient sweep of his arm. “This. Standing in the bay staring out into the void. It’s creepy, kid. Come on, it’s dinnertime. The fleet can make it into hyperspace without your personal supervision.”

    Summary

    Luke Skywalker flips, arcs through the air and lands catfooted behind him; he's back to back against him, the tense points of his shoulders tucked against Din's backplate.

    "You any good with that?" Luke says, and Din can hear the smile in his voice. Din has never been the best Mandalorian, but there's absolutely nothing more Mandalorian than falling in love in the middle of a firefight.

    Or, Din Djarin stages a rescue, makes a dad catch, falls abruptly in love and is awake for too damn long, all in the same day.

    Summary

    As it turns out, no one ever taught Luke how to tie a little green baby to his back one-handed, but Luke thinks he's pretty gods-damned good at problem-solving under pressure, thank you, and the baby is at least semi-cooperative. When he's sure the kid is strapped in as tight as he can get, Luke pauses, and reaches back. His fingers graze the wide point of the baby's fuzzy ear. "Well, kid," says Luke, and his voice is a little rough, but not bad, all things considered. "Carrying you on my back while getting the absolute banthashit kicked out of me, at least this feels familiar."

    The baby coos in his ear, and then kicks him hard in the kidney. Yoda used to do the exact same thing. Somehow, it's a lot more endearing now.

    Or: Luke Skywalker solves a number of life-or-death problems, makes some new friends, falls abruptly in love, and gets shot into space, all in the same day.

    Summary

    It's several months after season 2, and politics are shifting rapidly in the New Republic.

    “One of the delegation’s sticking points in the treaty has been a desire to share risk between the New Republic and Mandalore. They don’t want to sign without an assurance. Apparently it’s traditional to do this... somewhat literally. I don’t get the sense that it’s universally desired, but,” she shrugs a little, “we’re all floundering here. Rebuilding a republic out of a dictatorship isn’t easy.”
    “I’m not getting the problem here, Leia. So they want it all in writing?”
    She lays it out for him, and Luke can’t say he didn’t ask for it. “They want someone from the New Republic to become the new Mand’alor’s consort. Essentially, they want a hostage.”

    Luke wants the New Republic to back and fund his plans for the new Jedi Order, Bo-Katan wants Mandalore to rise to its previous glory, Leia wants a system of governance that is functional, and Din wants a nap.

    (Or, the arranged marriage fic I had no intention of writing.)
