Title: You See Me Even So

Archive Rights: Please request the author’s consent.
Rating/Warnings: Mild PG for angst.
Characters: Din Djarin and Cara Dune. (Nothing shippy here, folks. These two are just the purest, sweetest friends I’ve seen in a long time.)
Setting: Postscript to Chapter Fifteen: The Believer.
Summary: After Morak, Din is vulnerable, and Cara takes advantage—in only the most wholesome of ways.
Disclaimer: “The Mandalorian” belongs to LucasFilm and Disney. I’m just playing with it.
Notes: The conflicts and choices Din went through in Chapter Fifteen resonated with me so hard. Now that I’m writing “The Mandalorian” again after a year away, it will still probably take me a long time to unpack everything I think and feel about those events. In any case, this particular attempt also fills the prompt “One of the Dispossessed” at genprompt_bingo.

( In seeking to show Cara his gratitude, Din had ended up being the one to receive something yet again. )

Title: His Reason

Rating/Warnings: G.
Characters: Boba Fett, Din Djarin, Grogu, Peli Motto.
Setting: At the conclusion of Chapter Seven of “The Book of Boba Fett”.
Summary: After the battle for Mos Espa, Fett makes some observations, and has a few things to say about them.
Disclaimer: “The Mandalorian” and “The Book of Boba Fett” belong to LucasFilm and Disney. I’m just playing with them.
Notes: Written for the prompt of “Brave” at fan_flashworks. …The alternative summary for this story would be, “Uncle Boba gives Din a stern talking-to”. *g*

( There’s nothing brave or honorable in a man sacrificing a life he no longer wants. There’s only the waste of what could be. )

Title: Exploitable Weakness

Rating/Warnings: G.
Characters: Din Djarin and Grogu.
Setting: Between seasons one and two.
Summary: Din makes a truly horrifying realization.
Disclaimer: “The Mandalorian” belongs to LucasFilm and Disney. I’m just playing with it.
Notes: Written for the prompt of “Squeak” at fan_flashworks.

( When the shrill squeaking started, Din Djarin nearly banged his helmet on the edge of the access panel he was head-and-shoulders deep in. )

Title: Compromise(d)

Archive Rights: Please request the author’s consent.
Rating/Warnings: Mild PG for angst.
Characters: Din Djarin.
Setting: Postscript to Chapter Fifteen: The Believer.
Summary: To protect the child, he would commit any sin, and accept whatever he became in the reckoning.
Disclaimer: “The Mandalorian” belongs to LucasFilm and Disney. I’m just playing with it.
Notes: Written for the prompts of “Wrap” at fan_flashworks, and “Sleeplessness/Insomnia” at genprompt_bingo. I am fascinated beyond belief by Din’s moral conflict in Chapter Fifteen, and all of the implications I see in it. This is only the first result of my abundant thoughts on the subject.

( Din Djarin started awake, his heart pounding almost painfully beneath his cuirass. )
