My beloved darling my brain is on overheat, let's get this bread!
Armorer = Andromeda yess, did I tell you that I love your galaxy brain?,
This name can also explains Paz' fixation on the astronomical stuff,
Omg, he'd not only tatoo his babygirl's name but outline of Andromeda galaxy to go with it,
Grogu saying bad words omg,
Next time you and Boba are babysitting him, you are supervising them 25/8,
You let Boba teach Grogu how to swim, since you have a nice huge pool and it does seem harmless right?,
Next second you glance at them, Boba is doing some kind of water wwe with the kiddo, throwing him into the water lol,
LET ME KISS YOUR BRILLIANT MIND,
Also that meme that you've posted earlier of our connected minds is a real manifestation,
Listen, I thought about Rex and Cody too!,
But.. Jaster and Jango omg, honoring great grandpa and grandpa 😍,
Well since you and Boba have a big house, there is no problem with having more than two children,
Omg imagine the future vision of Grogu, Jango, Jaster, Rex and Cody being protective over Andromeda also sibling goals!,
Shit we need names for little Djarins tho,
I believe in you since you came with these brilliant ideas for Paz and Boba's children,
Boba playing guitar and singing for you,
He is secretly a big old fashioned romantic,
Also your jewelry collection must be worth more than entire national reserve lmfao,
Since Boba likes cowboys, space or not, he bought you a pony yeehaaw,
And you've had enough practice with riding, right? 😉,
Paz is really crafty, obviously,
He makes you flowercrowns using flowers from his little garden 🥺,
Boba saw your tumblr and decided to sign up too,
He immediately got attacked in the dms by those obnoxious, p0rn bots,
''Princess, why are random people asking me if I am looking for a sugar daddy? What is this bulshittery'',
You tell him to ignore these messages and that there is no point in responding because these are bots,
He doesn't get it, responding to every single one of them with I WILL FIND WHERE YOU LIVE YOU COCKSUCKER,
He actually commands his best hackers to find who is behind all of this shitshow lol,
No one messes with the Fetts, even bots,
Din doing your make up?,
Since he does a lot of drawing and doodling both in class and with Grogu his skills are pretty decent,
He'd even manage to put fallsies on you!,
I feel that Paz could totally slay your looks,
You'd be beaten to the gods, it's like mixing and adding ingredients so he's got you!,
Boba on the other hand is pro at smudging your lipstick and making your face stained by tears mixed up with mascara 😉,
Also Paz knitting???,
Making cute matching socks for him, you and Aurora and Ad'ika??? 😍,
When Din is home alone he vents to Crest about his existential crisis,
She just throws one of Grogu's plushies at him,
Boba asks if he can post pics of Fennec too,
You agree but under one condition,
You will send him pics done by you that he can post lol,
Paz, Boba and Din brotherly bonding st the shooting range,
They set up a little tournament,
But they all are so good,
Boba and Paz obviously have the work experience, but Din?
Auntie Armorer being a bad ass she is, trained Din and Paz in some martial arts and how to use a gun,
Grogu sneaking up on them and shooting straight bullseye lol,
Getting drunk with them?
Paz, due to his larger frame can drink a lot and still feel somewhat sober,
But when he is wasted he becomes even more of a goofball, wrecking chaos wherever you guys were partying at,
Din becomes drunk easly,
And he gets all blushy on his face,
Also he becomes really touchy and handsy with you 😉,
Boba being drunk?
Yeah, I think he can only become pussydrunk 😳😳😳
Okay sorry darling, but I need to calm down, I became too distracted after the last bit - 🐣
Listen there is no calm over here, and don't apologize for all of this beautiful masterpiece....
So names for Din's kids.... for a girl I like the name Farrah or Luna and for a boy what about Jax??
Boba totally tries to go behind your back and teach little Grogu things
You only find out about them because he tries to teach kids at school the same things and Din freaks out
All of the kids are super close and they all are protective of eachother
Especially little Andromeda, because she's just softer and more caring and she is the target when other kids are around
Rex and Cody are pretty much attached at the hip, doing everything together, and you and Boba aren't sure how but Rex was born with blonde hair, and Cody has a birthmark spanning where his scar is in the movies/show
Boba singing and playing the guitar? Be still my beating heart
Boba singing the the babies to sleep!!!!
Boba owning enough horse for all of you to go horse back riding when ever you want to
Boba has a movie theater in his house
BOBA BEING ON TUMBLR AND JUST GETTING PORN BOTS MESSAGING HIM LEFT AND RIGHT
Boba totally messages them all and tells them to fuck off he already has a princess
Listen Din is actually super good at art, and he loves when you let him do your make up
Grogu loves when Din does HIS makeup
Paz also is so good at making your base makeup look fucking flawless and natural and you aren't sure how he does it
And Boba is the KING of giving you that, just fucked look 😉😉
Paz knitting?!?!? 2739203/10 best image ever
He totally makes Andromeda's baby blanket as well as a bigger matching one for you
Din, Paz, and Boba totally get together every couple of months, especially if they haven't seen eachother in a bit
The Armorer definitely made sure her boys could defend themselves because she didn't want to see them hurt
Grogu is a total natural at shooting, but Boba will claim that he taught it to him because of the babysitting incident
GETTING SMASHED WITH THE BOYS!!
Din definitely can't hold his liquor and he talks so much more with no filter when he is drunk
He also will try to shove his hand down your pants, even if you are in public so watch out
You aren't even sure Boba can get drunk, but he does love drinking with you
Or better yet, drinking you 😉😉
Paz is totally a giggly drunk, and he always thinks he comes up with the best ideas but they are always terrible
But he does come up with some pretty good recipes while drunk
God imagine family dinners with all of the kids and Paz cooking 🥺🥺
Paz would be so overjoyed if you got a tattoo that symbolizes him
You both getting the mando vows tattooed in mando'a!!!!
Bob totally fills all the dad role with the kids so well
You find him telling them stories before bed and giving them each kisses on the forehead
(SEND ME THOTS!!!)

(ONE SHOT) be'sol STAR WARS
(belated) Whumptober no.25 - I Think I'll Just Collapse Right Here, Thanks
Comfortember no.4 - Anxiety
Jango’s not even a year out of slavery when he finally tracks down Tor Vizsla. The chakaaryc hut’uun hadn’t made much of an attempt to hide himself or his forces at first, not until Jango had started picking his way through his terrorist cells with the clear intention of going after Vizsla himself. Vizsla was a coward, he always had been, so when he had heard that Jango had resurfaced from his enslavement and was coming after him, he had turned and fled, sending commandos and assassins after Jango to hopefully kill him before he tracked him down. Vizsla had been trying to stay one step ahead of him, but Jango has contacts and a long reach, and plenty of stubborn determination.
He has a single-minded focus on Vizsla, to enact justice for the slaughter of his people and see Vizsla pay for his part in the treachery. Obi-Wan’s been a great help to Jango’s mission; his ad is smart, and charming, and very unassuming. The adiik is able to swindle information out of a target without the sentient being any wiser, and slip away without gaining suspicion, because who would suspect a tiny slip of a child with fluffy hair and big eyes? He’s a quick study, and soaks up any lesson Jango offers him, and he quickly surpasses Jango’s own slicing skills. Obi-Wan is eager to help, happy to please, and even if he had moral arguments against what Jango was doing, he followed behind him loyally.
The Jetiise didn’t know what they had thrown away, but Jango isn’t about to alert them of it. He won’t be losing anyone else - not to the Jetiise and not to Kyr’tsad . Obi-Wan is his now, and Jango won’t be giving him up until his ad is strong enough to face whatever the world throws at him.
They track Vizsla to Tatooine, to a small port where he and some of his commandos were celebrating a successful bounty. Anger and hatred burns in his stomach at the sight of the ship that had been docked. It tastes like bile in his mouth as he stares at the crude paint job and the emblem of Death Watch emblazoned on the hull. It’s Jaster’s Legacy ; the AIAT/i that Jango had owned, and Jaster before him as well. It’s the ship Jango had called home since he was eight years old and freshly orphaned; he had grown up on it when he and Jas’buir weren’t staying at the Haat’ade compound in Keldabe. To see it defiled by the very people behind the death of his Buire and aliit makes Jango’s fury ignite like a supernova.
The Kyr’stad hutuun’le don’t know what hits them. Jango plows through Vizsla’s badly trained guards like a rampaging kyrat dragon, Obi-Wan watching his back like a shriek-hawk and shooting the stragglers that slip through Jango’s guard in places that would keep them down but not kill them. His hatred burns like fire in his veins, but every fallen Kyr’tsad commando still doesn’t lessen the heat or the ringing in his ears. Jaster’s Legacy still accepts Jango’s codes, likely the result of arrogance, and it stops any alarms from going off and alerting anyone to his presence as Jango tears through the drunken aruetiise .
He finds Vizsla in what had once been Jaster’s room. Jango hadn’t been able to bring himself to claim it after Jaster’s death, so it had stayed the way Jaster had left it up until Galidraan. Vizsla had poisoned the room with his presence; all of his Buir ’s datapads and charts were gone, replaced instead with even more of Vizsla’s crest. There are two naked Humans on the bed, and half armoured Vizsla lounging between them. All three of them freeze when Jango bursts in, westars drawn, but Vizsla is still a trained ramikad, despite being a traitorous coward without any kind of honour, and he’s rolling to his feet almost immediately, throwing his bed partners aside to lunge for the hilt of the dha’kad laying on the shelf nearest to him.
Seconds after Vizsla’s fingers touch the Darksaber, however, the hilt is pulled away by an invisible hand, flying past Jango to slam into Ob’ika’s outstretched palm.
Smart kid, using the Force to take Vizsla’s greatest weapon from him, and effectively drawing everything to a stand-still.
Vizsla’s pale eyes dart between Jango and the boy who had disarmed him, calculating. “Jango Fett.” The chakaar says slowly, and Jango’s fingers tighten around his blasters. “I see you’re still alive. How disappointing .”
Under his helmet, Jango bares his teeth, “Try harder next time, hut’uun .”
Vizsla chuckles, but his eyes shimmer with rage at the insult, “I’ll be sure of it.” He sneers, “I see you’ve taken after Mereel and picked up a mongrel yourself.’
“You don’t get to talk about my Buir .” Jango tells him with a snarl, “And if you touch my ad , I’ll separate you from your hands.”
“You wouldn’t challenge an unarmed man.” Vizsla says with a slimy chuckle that has anger trickling down his spine, and Jango bites off the snippy retort he wants to make about what he’d do with Vizsla’s arms and how unarmed he could make him. “Mereel must have taught you about the laws of challenge.”
Jango growls, “What would you know about proper challenges! You’re a hut’uun who can’t win a battle without cowardly tricks!”
Vizsla bares his teeth, pale eyes dark with sick amusement and hatred, “Then challenge me, boy .” He mocks, “Challenge me, and let the Manda decide the outcome.”
Snarling, Jango sheaths his blasters, “Meet me on the field, Tor be Vizsla, and face me like a Mando’ad or be named dar’Manda .”
“I’d need my baskar’gam first.” Vizsla says blandly, and Jango glowers at him.
“Then get to it.”
“ Buir .” Beside him, Obi-Wan speaks up, but Jango doesn’t risk taking his eyes off of Vizsla as the man methodically, and slowly, puts on his beskar’gam . “I have a bad feeling about this.”
“It’s fine, Ob’ika.” Jango assures him through clenched teeth, “I won’t lose.”
“That’s not-”
“What of my Darksaber?” Vizsla interrupts, tilting his head, but even with his buy’ce on, Jango knows the man is watching Obi-Wan with disturbing intensity.
Jango bristles, stepping in front of the boy and setting his shoulders in a silent threat, “What about it?” He barks, “You were disarmed - you lost the right to wield it.”
“ Jango- ” Obi-Wan’s voice shakes nervously.
Something in Vizsla’s body language changes, and it’s enough of a warning that has Jango going for his blasters again. He doesn’t get the chance to unsheath them, instead something rams into his side with enough force to throw Jango towards the wall. He hits the metal hard enough to rattle him in his armour and make his ears ring.
Disorientated, Jango almost misses the haunting sound of the Darksaber activating, followed by the noise of a small explosion and ringing screams. Jango stumbles to his feet, HUD glitching, and he has to pull his buy’ce off  to see what is happening, westars in hand.
Vizsla is gone, his bed partners huddled in the corner, cowering with fear, and Obi-Wan is picking himself up off the floor. The Darksaber is in his small hands, black blade humming, and there’s singed marks on his flight suit. Wide blue eyes meet Jango’s gaze, and the boy looks close to tears, blood on his temple and scrapes littering his freckled cheeks.
“You let him go?” Jango’s voice trembles when he speaks, rage crawling up his throat. He had been so close. So close to getting vengeance for his Buire and aliit . He could have won, he would have killed Vizsla, and he could still catch him if he hurried -
Obi-Wan sways, face chalky, and any thought of revenge melts away as the dha’kad deactivates and the teenager crumbles. Jango darts forward, feeling anxiety rise in place of his anger, catching his ad’ika before he hits the floor. Were there injuries he couldn’t see? Obi-Wan hadn’t had any beskar between him and the explosion. Shaking hands trace across the boy’s thin body, looking for injuries or blood, but the only wound he can see is the cut on his temple - though that doesn’t discount internal bleeding.
Could his ad be dying in his arms? He can’t help but remember holding Jaster in this exact same way, watching the life leave his eyes - would he have to see that happen to Obi-Wan too?
A pale hand reaches up, catching Jango’s chest plate, and the boy clings to him. “I’m sorry.” His ad’ika says shakily, voice slicing through the bubbling panic at the possibility of losing another person he loves, and Jango stares down at the pale face. “I didn’t want to lose you.” Obi-Wan sniffles, wide eyes haunted, “If you had fought him here, you would have died. He was never going to fight fair - his knife is poisoned.”
“Are you hurt anywhere?” Jango asks, instead of pressing him on the statement, and Obi-Wan shakes his head, curling up against Jango’s chest and tucking his nose into his shoulder, letting out a shaky breath. In response, Jango lets out a low huff, hugging him tighter, guilt heavy on his lungs.
He had dragged Obi-Wan into his hunt for revenge, he had put his kid in danger without even thinking about it. He should be named dar’buir for such an act. Jaster would be disappointed in him. Myles would have spaced him himself and taken on Obi-Wan as only his own, and Jango would have deserved it.
Obi-Wan deserved better than what Jango was giving him.
“I’m sorry, Ob’ika.” Jango murmurs, horrified with himself. Obi-Wan’s thirteen, technically of-age, but he’s still Jango’s responsibility, and Jango could have gotten him killed. He had put revenge over his ad’ika , when Obi-Wan should have been his priority. “ Ni ceta .”
“Nayc, Buir.” Obi-Wan responds, “There’s always next time.”
Jango lets out a shaky breath, cradling the boy like the precious gift he is. “No. No, I won’t drag you into this anymore, ad’ika .”
“I want to help.”
“I know you do, Ob’ika.” Jango assures, brushing a hand through shaggy copper hair. “But he’s not the priority - he never should have been my priority.” He presses his nose to the top of the boy’s head, and just breathes, trying to push away the lingering buzz of anxiety under his skin. “ Ni ceta, ad’ika .”
“I got the ‘saber.” Obi-Wan says quietly, and Jango snorts.
“You did.” He says with a slight laugh, pride taking the place of his anger. Vizsla would be wanting it back, but Jango would make sure he didn’t get close to his son. “Good job, verd’ika .”
After a long moment of just holding his ad , Jango sighs, lifting his head to the two naked Humans still cowering in the corner. They hadn’t moved, and were instead staring at the two Mandalorians with wide eyes. He doubted they were warriors, they didn’t hold themselves as such, “Sorry for interrupting your evening.” He says blandly, “Jango Fett, he/him, and this is my son, Obi-Wan.”
The paler Human shifts, putting themself in front of the darker, despite their smaller size. “Shmi, Master Fett. Shmi Skywalker.” Skywalker hesitates in the face of the suddenly sour expression on Jango’s face, but he gestures for them to continue. “She/her.” She murmurs, clasping her hands in front of her chest, brown eyes darting to the other Human with her. “This is Caasi Chanchani, she/her.” She bows her head, seemingly unbothered by her state of undress, while Chanchani keeps her eyes averted.
It only takes Jango moments to recognize their body language, and somehow his respect for Vizsla, which had already been nonexistent, drops even lower.
They’re slaves.
“Your pucks?” Once, Jaster’s Legacy had been stocked with everything he’d need to remove their chips - a lot of the verde were among the Freed, Myles included - but that had been before Kyr’tsad had taken possession of the ship. He couldn’t be sure of the state of anything now, but if he had the puck, he and Obi-Wan could try to disrupt the signal until they could get the women the medical attention they’d need to get the chips removed.
Both women flinch, shuffling, before Chanchani steps forward, head bowed and shoulders curled inwards, the emitter for the bombs planted in their bodies held in shaking hands. Smart, Jango could recognize them easily as Mandokarla. They must have stolen the puck from Vizsla while he had been distracted by their bodies, he’s almost disappointed he’d interrupted them, if only to see if they would have slit his throat.
Jango grins, slow and satisfied, gently lifting the device from the woman’s hands. “I mean you now harm.” He assures them, turning the puck over to study it. It’s an older model, and would be easy to disengage. “Is this the only one?”
Chanchani nods, but it’s Skywalker who speaks again.
“We were rented from Master Gardulla, Master Fett.” Skywalker says quietly, “She would have the master emitter.”
“You don’t need to call me Master.” He tells them, then turns to Obi-Wan, meeting blue eyes as the boy lifts his head, showing him the device. “What do you think, ad? Can you deactivate it?”
Obi-Wan grins boyishly while the two women gasp in shock, “‘ Lek Buir .”
Neither of them held any love for slavers.

Te Dralyc Kar 9 [Star Wars Fanfic]
Synopsis:
Jango isn’t quite sure how he came to adopt a blonde slave boy after a job on Tatooine went sideways, but he honestly couldn’t complain. The boy is a little genius, brimming with compassion and a willingness to learn. The only hiccup, as far as Jango is concerned, is the fact that his boy is a naturally powerful force user. Someone the jetii would want to get their hands on.
Of course- he’d just like to see them try.
[This story isn’t linear. More like a series of snapshots. At least until later chapters.]
Link to AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/24022666/chapters/57795934
Introducing Anakin to more of the Haat Mando’ade left Jango feeling very conflicted. A few of them still harbored a lot of anger towards him for how he had disappeared all those years ago. Thankfully most of them came to understand the horror that had been inflicted upon him and forgave his absence. Being enslaved after losing everyone he cared about had broken him. He didn’t feel like he deserved the title of Mand’alor, didn’t think he could handle the reminder of his greatest failures. Then Anakin, his bight little star, had come into his life and given him something to hold onto. None of them said it but he knew at least a few of them were thinking it. The boy had saved his life and what remained of his sanity. Sitting down to a large meeting with the heads of various clans he was surprised just how many people still believed in Jaster’s ideals, and how many more had joined up after Kryze and Vizla had come into power. While Jango certainly, and obviously, hated Vizla he had almost as much disdain for Kryze and her tyrannical ways. The Mand’alor could call upon the warriors of Mandalore and expect them to come when called to action. But the Mand’alor also understood that there were other walks of life that needed to be honored as well. Farming, crafting, raising children, all of that was just as important and honorable as being a warrior. Kryze didn’t get it. She and her New Mandalorians thought that the Resol’nare had no room for those who did not fight as a way of life. Because she didn’t understand she forced her own ‘ideals’ on the people, subjugating those who just wanted to continue living as their forefathers had for generations.
A foolish child throwing a tantrum because not everything was going her way. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was destroying his people’s heritage he might have pitied her. Her father had been a good man, honorable, and she was disrespecting everything he stood for in her search of a mythical ‘peace’ that didn’t, and would never, exist. “Jango, you’re being a stubborn bastard about this.” Dennan of Clan Haarok hissed, slamming his fist into the top of the table. “Just accept the position and let us move on to other matters.” Currently he and his son found themselves as guests of what remained of House Mereel. Now that Jango had returned everyone was more or less intent on thrusting him into the position of Clan Head immediately. “Clan Mereel is gone. Everyone who had any claim to the name is dead.” Except, technically, himself. As the adopted son of Jaster he could always take the man’s last name for himself. But in doing so it would be erasing a part of his own history, part of what made him who he was. Jaster had never asked him to change his name and never expected it of him. "Jango... he made you his heir. You don't have to take his name, everyone here knows you are the rightful head of Clan Mereel. Don't dismiss this out of hand, Jaster deserved more than that." Some around the table flinched, glancing between Shiona and himself. Originally she had been one of Jaster's lieutenants, someone he could trust to get shit done. Somehow, even now, she still held onto the authority that had been placed into her capable hands. He wanted to argue, to curse them for bringing him there, but he knew it wasn't their fault. Jango's failures were his own. "Fine." Standing he placed a fist over his chest. "I am Jango Fett, Leader of House Mereel, son and heir, now Head, of Clan Mereel. I swear to hold my position with honor, to lead you in fairness, and to enact swift vengeance against anyone who dares to cross us." He gave Shiona a look but she just beamed at him. Tensions in the room began to lessen as he sat back down. Now that everyone knew where they stood, where Jango was in the hierarchy, they felt more inclined to work with one another. "One last matter of House business." Jervun of Clan Menzai stated, calling everyone's attention to him. "Alor, will your son be the heir to the Clan? Or the heir to both?" Jango felt as if someone had shoved electricity down his spine, it was an uncomfortable feeling. The thought of Anakin being the heir to a clan and house that had already been through so much hardship made him clench his hands. He didn't want to hand over the curse that seemed to plague him his entire life. But... Anakin had seen himself as Mand'alor. Or at the very least wielding the Darksaber. If that vision of the future was to come about he would need as much advantage as possible. "I do. But not only that." He had the entire room's attention, it was like old times. "I name Anakin Fett as heir to the title of Mand'alor." There were gasps from more than one mouth and he gave them all a humorless grin. "Jango, he's only seven! You're going to paint a target on that child's back!" Tavi of Clan Ysom practically yelled from down the table. "Anakin is Ka'runi, powerful enough that a passing jetii immediately noticed and tried to talk to him." If he hadn't been in the middle of Dex's diner he might have killed the bastard. Just in case he decided to tell the other jetii about Anakin. "His appointment as my chosen heir to the position of Mand'alor doesn't need to leave this room." He looked every sentient in the eyes, or in some cases the visor of their helmet. "I hope you know what you're doing, Alor." Tavi muttered, crossing her arms as she leaned back in her chair. "I have some idea." Laying his arms over his legs he leaned forward. "Tell me everything I missed. We need to start planning." The look of relief and hope on their faces made him want to flinch. Jango still wasn't sure if he could be the leader they needed but by the stars he was going to try his damnedest to make things right. [Anakin] Life since they'd come to Manda'yaim was really interesting. His dad still made him practice hand to hand, how to shoot a blaster, and how to make traps. But now he had an hours worth of training a day with a man named Wad'e. When he'd first shown up in his purple armor Anakin had been a bit nervous, he was a very quiet man. But at his dad's prompting the man had brought out a pair of beskad and Anakin's apprehension had fallen away. He got to learn how to fight with a sword! It was a lot of hard work, just like all hit other practice, but it became one of the most fun parts of his day. Even more than his language lessons with Runa, who seemed to know every language ever. Even though he and his dad would return to the same place to sleep at night Anakin began to notice how busy everyone was around him. How his dad barely had any time to do anything besides meditate with him during the day. He knew that his dad had an important new job now, one that needed a lot of planning, but he couldn't help feeling ignored. "Hey, kid... you okay? You're distracted." Blinking up at Wad'e he felt his face flush in embarrassment. The man had been trying to show him a new strike and he had been lost in his own head again. "N'eparavu takisit, Adat'juri Tay'haai." 'I'm sorry, Teacher Tay'haai.' He said politely with a small bow. The man watched him through his dark visor, Anakin could feel the man's eyes scrutinizing him. "It's alright ner hibir." 'My student.' Crounching down he reached over, almost hesitantly, and put a hand on Anakin's head. "But if something's wrong you can talk to me." Anakin bit his lip and looked down, a bad habit from his life before. "...do you think buir's work will be done soon?" The man stiffened for a moment and a sense of uncertainty filled the air between them. Anakin let out a sigh, that was probably a yes. The man ruffled his hair, making the blonde yelp in surprise. "Your buir is a very important man. Because he's important there are a lot of people who want to speak with him right now." Pulling his hand away the man stood back up and lifted his sword once more. "It doesn't mean he loves you less, or that you're not important to him." There was a faint feeling of strong conviction and respect for his dad that made Anakin feel less anxious. "When he's finished his work why don't you just ask him for some of his time? I'm sure he'll give it to you if he knows you want it." Anakin smiled. "Thanks Adat'juri." The man gave him a single nod and slid into the stance he had been in the middle of teaching. "Now, make sure not to turn your foot outward, you'll want to-" Anakin followed his movements, mind focused on the lesson. Later that evening, after dinner, he sat with his dad for meditation. No matter how hard he'd worked that day Jango always made time to sit down and do their daily meditation. It was nice, to be able to just sit and feel his father's presence so close to him. It made him feel safe and focused. "Are you drifting, An'ika?" Opening his eyes he smiled sheepishly. Jango gave him a look somewhere between fondness and consternation. "You've been really distracted today. Me'vaar?" ‘You okay?’ "Buir... I..." Anakin looked down at his lap, feeling almost selfish for what he wanted to ask. "Do you... think we could go out and see the city a bit? Or... maybe play a game?" His buir watched him quietly for a moment then let out a long sigh. Anakin tried not to chew on his lips again, Shiona said it was bad for him. "An'ika, c'mere." Getting up he walked to his father and smiled when he was pulled into a big hug. "I'm sorry I've been so busy lately. It's not your fault and I haven't forgotten about you, alright? We can go out tomorrow for lunch at the Baat." After a moment his dad pulled away slightly. "I... was planning on introducing you to more people soon. They've been asking about you." "Why?" His buir rubbed the back of his neck. "Because they... well they're our family." Anakin's eyes went wide. He had more family? "Like cousins and stuff?" Jango chuckled. "Something like that. I'm sure if you ask them nicely they can tell you stories about your ba'buir, Jaster, or even stories of me as an adiik." Anakin beamed. "After lunch tomorrow?" His dad smiled. "It's a promise."

Day #9: Bonding Time
Fennec didn’t seem to question Boba’s claim when he said he wasn’t Mandalorian to Din. I think Fennec had a crash course in Mando heritage and Fett heritage. Also, I had to look up on Legends for this. 
--------------------
Fennec woke up to an enticing smell. She saw the ship had landed in a jungle planet and Crosshair was nowhere to be found. Fennec followed the smell because she saw there was a kitchen, and where there was a kitchen and a good smell, there had to be food.
Fennec was right on following her nose because she saw Crosshair and Korkie eating together at the small kitchen. She didn’t know what Korkie was eating, but she’s not wanting to share the food because it looked deadly. Crosshair’s food on the other hand was more presentable, and possibly edible by her standards. Which was to say, it’s not a ration bar.
“You didn’t wake me up,” Fennec said.
“I learned not to wake people up,” Crosshair told her. “You don’t know if they’re having their first sleep in days, or if they have visions.”
“Alright. Can I have some food?”
“What’s your heat tolerance?” Korkie asked.
“Mostly mild food,” Fennec answered. “I’m going to pass on your meal.”
“Good idea,” Crosshair snorted. “I can handle a ton of heat, but Korkie here loves to add nuclear amounts of heat in his meals.”
“I don’t have a spice sensation in my mouth, okay?”
Crosshair said nothing as Korkie gave Fennec some mild flavor porridge. She looked at it, sat down at the table and tasted a small amount of her food. It was nice, and it didn’t burn. It felt like she was eating an old family recipe and not something that was from the gutter.
“I don’t know what you like,” Korkie apologized. “But I knew from my nanny how to cook food from multiple parts of the Mandalore System. Surprisingly, there were recipes that said to not add spices. Though, considering that some of our planets are ice planets, it does make sense.”
“What’s the main heat level of Mandalore?” Fennec asked.
“Mostly Crosshair’s level. For non-Mandalorians, it burns for half n hour and leaves your fresher experience the worst of all time. Mandalorians, well, we take it like warriors.”
“Guessing since Crosshair is Mandalorian, he can take it.”
“Well, it’s his heritage even if he doesn’t claim to be Mandalorian.”
Fennec steadied her eyes at Korkie as she kept eating. She thought Mandalorians have to be born Mandalorians. Like if someone was born on Coruscant, they were born the child of Coruscant. And even if their family move to another planet, they were still Coruscanti from blood. How does one not be a Mandalorian if they have Mandalorian blood and heritage.
“You’re thinking hard,” Crosshair pointed out. “It’s true what he said, I’m not Mandalorian.”
“But you’re genetic template was Mandalorian.”
“He was,” Korkie agreed. “But let’s just say the whole thing about being a Mandalorian is quite complicated.”
“How?”
“They follow these Mandalorian ritual rules,” Crosshair said. “The Resol’nare? I think?”
“Yes, the Resol’nare,” Korkie nodded. “It’s an old Mandalorian tenet that still holds true to warrior type Mandalorians. The New Mandalorians, the faction which I was born in, drew away from the tradition when we wanted pacifism as our new way of life. We drove out the warrior Mandalorians from Mandalore and placed them in Concordia, our moon. While I am Mandalorian, I have never taken the majority of Resol’nare due to my pacifist upbringing. Crosshair here is technically a more traditional Mandalorian warrior.”
“But there is one little problem with that,” Crosshair insisted. “I was raised as a traditional warrior type Mandalorian while training as a clone troopers, but in the eyes of many Mandalorians, I’m a dar'manda. Someone who’s ignorant of there heritage. I’m not ignorant of my heritage, I just don’t follow it, nor am I a part of any faction or clan. Or house in Korkie’s case.”
“So? You have Mandalorian blood,” Fennec objected.
“Blood means little in Mando culture,” Korkie explained. “You can be adopted into a Mandalorian clan even if you’re not the same species. We have a saying---”
“Aliit ori'shya tal'din,” Crosshair said. “Family is more than blood. I learned that as part of my heritage. Fennec, I am one of Jango Fett’s clones, but I never took a code, nor a rite of passage that signifies me as a Mandalorian. Basically I’m just Kaminoan. Which I detest, but I can’t help it because I’m not Mandalorian.”
“But Korkie said you can be adopted to a clan,” Fennec pointed out. “Ask him to make you Mandalorian!”
The two looked at Korkie who started to touch his chin. 
“I don’t think it’s a good idea,” Korkie stated while still touching his chin. “If Crosshair became a Kryze because of me, the Death Watch would ultimately hunt him down and kill us both. Also, he’s technically a Fett.”
“What does that mean?” Fennec and Crosshair asked.
“You see, the Fetts are an ancient clan based off in Concord Dawn. A Fett had actually serve one of our mightiest Manda’lors as second-in-command. Crosshair here could go to Concord Dawn and be part of Clan Fett because of his heritage, but I don’t know if there are any Fetts left that are clan members. The Fett linage Crosshair came from were killed by Death Watch years ago. It’s highly impossible for him to be part of a clan now.”
“Wait, why did Death Watch kill Jango Fett’s family?” Crosshair asked.
“Because they helped Jaster Mereel, an enemy of Death Watch’s leader Tor Vizsla. Jaster was one of our former Manda’lors, but Tor hated his rule. Jaster was part of the True Mandalorians, a faction that held up the traditional moral code for Mandalorian society. Tor wanted Jaster killed, Jaster was staying at the Fetts and they had a battle to end Jaster’s life. Jango survived, but his family was ruined. He was then raised as a foundling by Jaster after everything that happened and Jango ultimately ended Tor Vizsla’s life years later. And that was before he was a bounty hunter. So, technically, if I were to bring Crosshair into my clan, we would ultimately become the biggest target for the Death Watch just by historical feuds alone.”
Crosshair smiled from ear to ear. It was true that they were taught a bit of history about Jango by the Kamioans after his untimely death. But to hear it from someone who can see the past and tell him that his genetic template was a badass even before being a bounty hunter was nice.
“So,” Fennec said. “Crosshair here will never be part of Mandalorian society.”
“Maybe not,” Korkie shrugged. “But it’s okay. He’s Mandalorian in my eyes. And I was the former future ruler of Mandalore. Which meant he dodged a bullet, or he’d be my subject.”
Crosshair guffaw. “I will never be your subject. I’m a free man. Also, if you were the ruler of Mandalore, I would pray that no one becomes your spouse because being with you is more troubling than a bunch of terrorist trying to kill you alone.”
“You’re not wrong on the spouse thing. My mother was single and she did her rule alone without a spouse.”
Crosshair bit his spoon and looked at Korkie. “You Kryzes and your horrible love lives. Can you get married?”
“Yes, but I loath marriage. House Kryze’s marriages were always political. I will be different, I will marry for love and I don’t care who I may marry.”
“Does that include Crosshair?” Fennec asked.
Korkie stopped eating his food. He looked at Crosshair and then looked at Fennec with great concern. Crosshair on the other hand was shaking his head back and forth as if he knew a marriage between them was the worst thing that could happen.
“Did you not just hear me in the last minute?” he cried. “If I bring Crosshair to my clan, he’s target practice for my enemies. And yes, that actually includes marriage.”
“Also, we just met,” Crosshair said. “I’m not willing to get married to Korkie. He’s a bit too royal for me.”
“Yes--wait, what now?”
Korkie shot up from the table. “I’m someone many people wanted to marry back when I was in Mandalore.”
“Maybe, but you’re not my type.”
Fennec not regret making her statement about marriage as Korkie and Crosshair soon got to arguing about how bad marrying the other would be and how they might divorce in a day being married to the other. She laughed as Korkie started insulting Crosshair and slapped him. 
“Well,” she thought. “I guess my target practicing will be late.”
SMACK!
“Will you stop slapping me?” Crosshair cried. “You slap like a princess!”
“And you are snore like a dying speeder!”
Fennec kept laughing as they got close to each other’s faces. She like to think they were already married by how they insult each other.
