Under a Tangled Sky by Orockthro
Fandoms: The Mandalorian (TV), Star Wars Original Trilogy

Summary
Very clearly Luke decides that there will be no more pyres in the jungle. This may not be Endor, but he will not build a fire and watch this stranger burn out within his armor.
The war is over and he will save this man.
He reaches his living hand into the space under the man’s helmet and feels warm skin and a fluttering pulse of some sort. But there’s no way to see if he’s breathing through the thick cloth mail and armor, so Luke brings his other hand to meet the first and lifts away the helmet in a single swift movement.
The man locks dark eyes on Luke, sucks in breaths that sound like a dying animal, and just as Luke’s about to reassure him, to tell him that he’s going to help him, a gloved and armored hand snakes out and grasps his wrist.
“You've killed me,” he whispers to Luke.
(Or, an alternate first meeting. Luke is fresh from Endor and Force burned, just trying to heal. All Din knows is that his life has taken a sudden left turn. Set 4 months after ROTJ and 5 years before S1 Mandalorian.)

5 Times Din Hid an Injury (and one time he didn’t) by Orockthro
Fandoms: The Mandalorian (TV)

Summary
It’s true that Din’s head is aching and he’s got a persistent ringing in his right ear. But the armor held, and he didn’t lose consciousness. He isn’t waking up in the middle of a battle with half his vision gone and Cara staring down at him like she was watching her friend die. Which, in hindsight, she was.
So he’s fine.
(Or: What it says on the tin. Din throughout his life as he hides injuries and then, finally, when he lets himself be vulnerable with someone.)

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.)

Summary
“Djarin,” Fett says, and the man in the flight suit startles. Peli keeps an eye on him; flighty ones are sometimes trouble. “Get us some speeders. We’ll leave at first sundown. I trust you’ll be able to hunt us down.” Fett laughs and the woman’s face splits into a wide and dangerous grin at some joke that Peli is happy to not know the details of.
“Speeders will cost you, my last guy blew his up so I charge upfront for rentals.”
Djarin, presuming that’s his name, just stands there like a lost dewback.(Or, after Season 2, Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, and Din Djarin return to Tatooine to start putting their plans to action. Din meets a familiar face who is not familiar with his. Peli is not amused.)

Summary
Mayfeld picks up the beskar ingot that is set innocently on the console between them. It’s heavy and dense, maybe more with meaning than mass. The Imperial stamp is so familiar and so wretched, but he can’t help run his bare finger over it, catching the circle.
Djarin's voice cracks. “Beskar,” he says. “They’re melting beskar on Utapau.”
OR: Mayfeld is traveling with the Mando on a new shiny ship but with the same shiny problems, namely ex-Imperials, bounty hunting problems, and whatever the kriff is going on with Djarin and that darksaber, as they travel the galaxy trying to find the Mandalorian's lost tribe.

Summary
Obi-Wan bit his lip, his eyes going teary again. “I think… I think staying here is the selfish choice. I think the Force is trying to tell me that there are other people who need me to be a Jetii. ”
Jaster nodded slowly, a plan already forming. “We’ve talked about a lot, and it’s a big decision,” he said, squeezing Obi-Wan’s leg once more. “Why don’t you take a few days to think about it?”
A month later, Jaster found himself on a ship with Ben and a few of his council members, bound for Coruscanta.
---
A resurrected Obi-Wan Kenobi finds his way to Mandalore, and the Jedi. A Mandalorian!Obi-Wan fic that will be shameless fluff with a sprinkle of angst.
Edit for new readers: Ben Kenobi and Obi-Wan Kenobi are two separate people in this story. There is only Jaster/Ben in this fic, but the Archive has some trouble knowing who Ben Kenobi is without the Obi-Wan tag. :)

Summary
“What are your feelings on the mutant threat?!” one of the reporters shouts, and Steve just looks at him.
“I think anyone threatening mutants should be stopped,” he says calmly, and the swarm of reporters explodes, a dozen camera flashes going off at once.
