If you don’t mind, can I become a mutual requester? I love how fast you get my prayers, but take your time please :> , Tighari x reader that uses a claymore (hydro). Reader is really sweet and not the type to use a claymore [kinda like Noelle] and not afraid to protect others even in public. Like if someone is bothering Collei, reader just calmly walks over, smiling sweetly, and summons their claymore, “Leave Collei alone or are we gonna have problems?”

You can go with anything you want but, King’s Squire, Prototype Crescent, and Slingshot R5 are really good for Tighnari. [I promise, I’m not trying to make it sound like your build is not good but it’s hard to find Tighnari mains these days and as a Nari main, I want you to have the best. Also I happy to find someone that loves Tighnari as much as me.]

Yeah ofc you can! ✅/⭐️. :D <33

I’m seeing how fun Tumblr can be actually. Hehe.

(Thanks for the tips! I was going to make him use Stringless! Might consider those other options. If you want you can come help me get the materials to craft them?)

Makes me think of Paladins… such as Financier cookie and Kougihn Amaine (didn’t spell right prob AKA Princess Peach cookie)

Willing to help!

Tighnari x Reader | Hydro Claymore | Fluff

More under cut <3

Y/N / Reader was seen as a motherly figure to almost everyone in Gandharva Ville. Most importantly they were always patient and helpful. Ready to be supportive to anyone she considers as friends or family.

Many people would come to them for their guidance and advice. Always steering them into the right direction. Despite their caring and generous personality, they aren’t scared to wield their vision and claymore to protect.

Even if they doesn’t know them. Y/N would always come to their aid no matter what. Earning them a n/n (nickname) Angel. Always looking at the bright side and helping others while being protective and positive.

This time you had to deal with a slight threat to the peace you had worked diligently to maintain. Someone’s causing a disruption in the peaceful Gandharva Ville.

Seeing a merchant was talking horrid things collei, You calmed down going towards the two. “We don’t have any issues do we? If you do, tell them to me. Leave collei alone or we will have problems.” You said with a smile. You’re voiced laced with anger as you looked at them. Holding your claymore in your free hand as collei grabbed the other. Trying to not let their words keep her down and hugged you.

Seeing they had no response you asked them again. “Leave collei alone or do we have problems?” This time with more anger behind the gentle facade. “I suggest you get going before me or Tighnari deal with you personally.” Slightly threatening the merchant as they started to head towards the city.

After they left and had their back turned against you. Your attention went to collei who was sobbing into your side. Kneeling down to give her a hug and comforting the girl.

“Collei are you alright? They were mean but I took care of them. Don’t listen to the insults they spat out.” You stated as you touched her hair. “Shh~ It’s okay I’m here.” You told her as she kept crying. “Do you want me to bring you back home Collei?” You questioned the teenager as she nodded. You picked her up and onto your shoulders. Holding her hands as she stayed silent.

Tighnari watched from afar. Keeping a note to himself to comfort collei later on when he can. He was slightly admiring you and thanking you silently as you drove them off. He was going to step in but you did first.

He watched you bring collei to where she resided before going back to his house. Stepping inside and going towards his desk. Working on his research.

A few minutes later Tighnari came inside with a worried expression and drooped ears. “Collei are you alright? I heard what happened.” He said as he sat on the bed next to the both of you. She nodded silently as she was still sad about what she heard.

You both hugged her as time went by. Making sure to calm her down. Looking at her as she held your and Tighnaris hands. You looked up towards Tighnari. Giving him a soft smile as he gave you one back. Both of your attentions going back towards collei.

After she confirmed she was okay and fine you both left within 30 minutes. Going back to Tighnaris house. “Narii I’m still worried about collei.” You’d tell the fennec fox hybrid. He had the same face as you. Feeling guilt as he couldn’t prevent it. “Me too. But she’ll be okay. My lotus we can go check on her tomorrow. I’ll be sure to not give her work so she can relax.”

“I hope so. Maybe we should take her out on a break and get her a few things.” You would suggest as he brought you close. Hugging you from behind on the bed. His tail lazily moved up towards his knee and gently placed onto yours slightly. You would turn around as his tail removed itself from your body, snuggling into his chest with your head near his neck.

“How can you be so adorable and precious at times?” He’d question you as you removed your face from his neck. “I don’t know. How can you be so handsome?” You’d tell him back playfully. He gave you a quick peck as his tail wagged. Trying to tickle your side. “H-hey!” You would tell him trying to not burst into laughter as you felt his tail brushing against you.

“Colleis like a daughter to us. I just wished we could’ve prevented it.” He’d state as his tail tickled you. Enjoying your laughter as it was music to his ears. You laughed as you tried to get words out. “M- me too! St-stop tickling me.” You’d say trying to get him to stop. He stoped tickling you as you felt more happy. Knowing it did the trick, he smiled as he gave you another peck.

Siphamandla Madikane was a ten-year-old boy from the Ramaphosa informal settlement in South Africa. On Sunday 3 November, 2013, there was a power cut in the area, so Siphamandla and his mother went to the nearby store to buy some paraffin.

While at the store, Siphamandla bumped into some of his friends and asked his mother if he could play with them. His mother agreed. However, when he hadn’t returned home by 7PM that evening, his parents reported him missing and began conducting their own search, assisted by other members of the community.

According to Siphamandla’s friends, there was a man who had been watching them play for quite some time and then approached them. He asked the group of boys to go and call his girlfriend for him and offered whoever agreed R5. Three of the boys refused but Siphamandla agreed and walked off with the anonymous man, never to return.1

The following morning, a missing person report was filed at Reiger police station. At around 2PM, Nathaniel Maleho, who lived a few kilometres away from the Madikane family, went to relieve himself in a bush since there was no water in the toilets. Hidden among the bushes, he saw small legs. Terrified, he ran to get two local men who returned to the scene to investigate.

What they found would traumatise them....

Little ears stuck up, the top of Grogu's nose just visible over the water as he paddled across the stream.

"Yeah," you clapped, excitement bubbling over, "Look at you, Lucky Green."

The little guy kept going until he reached your side of the stream. his mouth opened with a wide smile when you lifted him out of the water.

"He's wet." Bo was sitting on the porch, her feet propped up to match Din Djarin's.

With a raised brow you motioned towards the stream, "Want to take a guess as to why?"

She grinned at you, tipping her glass of juice towards you, "You're doing a good job. He's doing great."

"Yeah?" A quick flash of annoyance Din Djarin's way then back to Bo, "because the agreement was if I can teach Grogu to swim -"

"No." Din Djarin shook his head.

"Come on. I've flown before."

"Absolutely not." He countered.

"What if something were to happen-"

"It's too fast for you-"

"Grogu and I could-"

"What if hyperspace goes out-"

Bo slammed her foot down, jarring both of you into silence, "You fight like a married couple. Look, the kid escaped."

Grogu had left your arms, now paddling back across the stream with his ears sticking straight out once more.

All three of you watched as he went back and forth, back and forth, until Din Djarin leaned forward and pointed a finger at his son.

"Stop using the force."

The smooth glide he'd taken up stopped. The little guy bobbing up and down for a moment before frantic paddling got him to the edge — where you could reach down and pick him up once more.

He seemed done for the time being, settling in your arms as you wrapped a towel around him and walked across the bridge.

Bo took his when you moved to sit down, "What are you two fighting about anyway?

"Din Djarin agreed if I could teach Grogu to swim then I could fly the starfighter-"

He held up a finger, "That is not what I said. I said if you could teach Grogu to swim, then we'd discuss your learning how to fly."

Bo stayed silent as she dried behind Grogu's ears. Getting under his arms as he holds them up and behind his knees when he shakes about.

The little guy looks more at ease being cared for than a Mandalorian apprentice should be.

Din Djarin's hand reached to squeeze his right hand, and the child squeezed back before settling into the towel and watching the adults.

You rolled your eyes, "I've flown The Family Carriage -"

"It's not called Family Carriage."

You aimed a pointed look his way, "Not the point. I've flown that before, I've flown Bo's ship, and I know you let Grogu practice without R5 backing him up."

Din Djarin held his hand up, palms out, "I am always with him. I can't be in the starfighter with you."

"Once again, with great emphasis, I've flown already. I'm not some newbie on the stars, Din Djarin."

Bo and Grogu watched both of you go back and forth, one right after the other. Din Djarin blocked each attempt with a reason as to why it's not safe.

"If you'd listen to me you'd know I'd be safe-"

"Without me being there something could go wrong-"

"Eventually I'm going to need to-"

"Not if I have anything to say -"

"That's the problem isn't it-"

Once again, by the kid himself, the argument is broken up when Grogu hops out of Bo's arms and shakes himself, large eyes looking up at you, then his Dad and back.

"Ahhp." He frowns.

You frown back, "Ah, Dank ferrick, I'm sorry, Lucky Green, this was supposed to be about you. You did so well!" He let you lift him up up up until he hovered over your head.

Grogu spread his arms and his legs out with his own head lifted.

"I can fly you though can't I?" You did just that, moving him side to side following it up with dips and dashes. You made the way back to the stream, dipping him down close then back up until he giggled and you repeated.

Din Djarin moves beside you and holds his hand out for his son.

"I'm sorry," He kneels down in the grass, letting Grogu use his hand to stand at the edge of the stream, "Mata and I can discuss this later, yeah? For now, show us your skills."

"Go Grogu!" Bo claps, earning her toothy grin before he leaps back into the water and strides through the stream with little care in the world.

Din Djarin turns to you when your fingers twine with his, "Let's focus on the kid. We'll argue later."

Before he could respond you squeezed his fingers them slid your sandals off and stepped into the stream yourself.

Pmmm x alnst anon here. This is what I thought about who would be who LOLLL. Sorry if this seems long and stupid as you can see I'm deeply hyperfixated lmao

Ok sooo obviously mizisua is madohomu but it's a little hard to decide who would be madoka and who would be homura for a number of reasons. Apon first looks you might think that sua would be madoka and mizi would be homura because of the whole sacrificing thing+ that one piece of angel sua devil mizi official art buuuuuuut if you look deeper you'll realize that it doesn't really fit: the most noticable part is that mizi has pink hair and sua has black hair+ purple eyes . Mizis whole thing is that she was unaware of her worlds dark nature until her gf died which kindaaaaa defeats the whole thing about homura as opposed to sua who was generally always kinda sad because she knew what was gonna happen if she lost which isn't really something like madoka??? (Also. Mizi is shown to have a generally supportive alien family while sua is shown to have a neglectful one which kinda contracts the thing about homura basically being a Catholic orphan and madoka being the only character in the show to have a supportive AND alive family. Idk if you get it but yeah) anyways I still decided that mizi would be homura and sua would be madoka because of some other reasons but. Yeah. You kinda understand

Next up is ivantill kyosaya. I think that they fit ivantill perfectly (sorta) because it's kinda obvious (at least for me) that who would be who here: kyoko would be Till because of her overall aggressive nature BUUUUUT also because till crushing on mizi would kinda also fit homuras and kyokos relationship since kyoko is basically the only person that homura can always trust. sayaka would be Ivan because of the whole "longing for someone who doesn't love you back" thing+ some other reasons (thought Ivan sayaka having beef with sua madoka while being close friends with mizi homura doesn't. Rlly make sense so) Ivan being fated to death could also kinda add up the fact that sayaka witched out every time she became a magical girl. I think you kinda understand why

Sooo Mami is Luka for a number of reasons: both have a reasonable amount of yellow in their designs, both are (physically) the eldest of their groups both are kindaaaaa insane ect ect. It's also fitting because Luka being the "king" of the stage could also add up the thing about Mami being an experienced magical girl and being WAYYY too much in the whole thing. R5 could also be a parallel to the Mami vs homura gun fight (specifically the part where mizi beats the tar out of Luka) . The ONE difference between these 2 is that Mami genuinely feels remorse lol

Anddddd last but not least (drumrolllllllll).... Hitomi as Hyuna. YES I know this seems strange but I actually have multiple reasons to believe why this sorta fits??? First of all Hitomi never becomes a magical girl no matter what which kinda fits hyunas rebel thing. Also iirc Hitomi had a crush on homura in one of the timelines???? Which could kinda add up to the thing about Hyuna rescuing mizi In r5. I guess Issac and Dewey could be those 2 friends of madoka from the first episode but idk. Mayyyyyybe kyosuke could be hyunwoo but idk LOLLLLLLL.

I LOVE YOUR RAMBLINGS GO OFF ANON. i love the discussion and details you put into your crossover...

my interpretation of your au was that mizi would be homura, sua would be madoka, till would be kyouko, and ivan would be sayaka. i hadn't got as far as thinking about mami, nevermind hitomi, but i would probably put mami down as hyuna for my own self-indulgence (i love shipping mizi/hyuna), and therefore hitomi as luka.

my reasoning, which is not to say it's superior to yours or anything, but like instead just building off your ideas...

just btw, when you do crossovers, it doesn't have to be 1:1! that's the whole point, you can make your own self-indulgent story! if you enjoy it, then that's mission accomplished! so this is my self-indulgence that i wanted to share with you too :3

homura as mizi: the themes are what i would like to focus on here! in homura's original timeline, homura was saved by madoka. not to mention, homura deifies madoka, just as mizi deifies sua.

madoka as sua: madoka isn't all sunshine and rainbows! she has been known to turn into a witch, so i think her taking on sua's "role" so to speak of understanding the larger picture of the alien society could fit! and like i said, her dying/becoming deified by homura also fits.

sayaka as ivan: their vibes are similar 🤔 and sayaka having an unrequited crush that drives her to sacrifice herself is pretty much right up her alley.

kyouko as till: their vibes are SO similar. i also think kyouko reads as anti-establishment! and this would be perfect for her to take on till's "role". it would mean that her values/attitudes/rebellion of hating the aliens would get painted as part of the show by the aliens, and again this is fitting. plus i like your points. kyouko DOES have some kind of homoerotic thing going on with homura 😳

mami as hyuna: mami might be less of a wildcard than hyuna, but i think being older and more experienced still lends credibility to her taking on hyuna's "role" of a rebel. i also just like mizi/hyuna and homura/mami is a fascinating ship to me.

hitomi as luka: look, i'll be the first to say luka is fascinating as a character and i want to put him under a microscope, and in the same breath i'll say i dislike him (yet i understand his actions and do not blame him). and yet i love hitomi. which makes it all the more interesting to list hitomi as luka, actually, because i think i would adore hitomi in luka's shoes. hitomi is shown to be quite mature in the pmmm universe, but put her in the high-stakes alien stage scenario in luka's shoes and i think she would actually get driven to the extremes luka did. especially when you consider that it's theorised luka's skin condition is the result of what can be interpreted as extreme abuse at the hands of his alien owner. one thing that i want to note is luka (and therefore hitomi in his shoes) could very likely feel remorse! remember, he's performing to Literally Save His Own Life. we need to humanize them, we need to humanize ALL the contestants, because the real monsters are the aliens running the show. that's the whole point of alien stage's commentary on idols performing under capitalism: idols irl are dangled around as if they are puppets, and you as the audience eat it up, but the people behind the scenes making them sing for scraps are the real scum.

thank you so much for reading if you got this far!!! and thank you for sending me your thoughts and hearing out mine too. i love Thinking Thoughts about my fave media... 💖

3, 12, 15 and 23 for Olivine from the ask meme if you have time~

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

Now, this may surprise you: exhibitionism kink is not my thing. The "actively talking to someone and pretending you're not having sex" brand of exhibitionism in particular gives me intense secondhand embarrassment. OG Oli r5 and CoD Oli r2 were difficult to watch for that reason.

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

*slams fist on table* gynecomastia.

Also lovequeer aro Olivine is so special to me. I imagine him not really thinking twice about not having crushes as a teen because he had so much other shit to deal with, and it's only when the other clan members start expressing romantic love for Eiden that he goes... huh... do I love Eiden in that way? And he comes to the conclusion that it doesn't really matter. Eiden is his redemption, and Olivine cares so deeply for the rest of the clan as well; even if he never figures out whether he'd label those feelings as romantic or platonic or familial or something else entirely, what matters is that he does love them.

15. What's your favorite ship for this character?

I mean. Gestures at a little under half of my fics being Eiden/Olivine. The stats speak for themselves.

I'm pretty fond of all Olivine/clan dynamics though. Special shoutout to kuyoli, which I've actually yet to write, but features frequently in my daydreams when I need to inflict a sadist upon Olivine.

23. Favorite picture of this character?

For canon ones:

He's just so soft and happy...............

For fanart, I think about this tweet by @yunpiaopiaogao all the time. just. him tits.

Concept art by Christian Alzmann

Grogu noticed the air temperature seemed to be dropping on Nevarro and he found that very strange. It wasn’t nighttime when the sun was ‘down’ and wasn’t around heating stuff up. It was daytime. The sun was right there, but the planet it seemed cooler. How did that make sense?

He trotted over to where the Mandalorian was doing maintenance on the N-1.

“Hey buddy, so you decided to help me lubricate the glide plane control apparatus after all?”

Grogu tried not to laugh. It was clear that his dad was serious and he had no intention of climbing all over the the N-1 when it’s exterior panels had been removed to reach a tiny little point that required a single drop of lubricant. The Anzellans had offered to make an attachment for R5 that could do the work if Grogu promised not to hug them. Grogu wasn’t going to make that promise, so his dad had to lubricate that spot on his own.

Grogu shook his head “no” and then pretended to shiver.

“You’re afraid of getting zapped? I told you that problem with the red and blue wires on the Razor Crest was a fluke.”

His dad seemed a bit put out by that, but Grogu was trying to tell him that it was cold out. He shook his head and this time he hugged himself and said, “Brrrr”. He hoped his dad could figure it out with those clues.

“Oh. You’re cold. I suppose I should get your winter gear out. I don’t suppose they had seasons at the Jedi Temple. Coruscant barely seems like a planet any way.”

Ah. Seasons? Grogu wanted to know more. He tried using Tusken sign language to ask his question.

“No. Tatooine doesn’t really seem to have seasons according to the Tuskens. Unless you count ‘very hot out’ as a different season from ‘pretty hot out’.”

Grogu sighed and tried shivering again. He understood all about Tatooine and how hot a planet with two suns could be depending on the distance between those two stars and the planet in question. What he really wanted to know was would his pond frogs be okay if the weather turned colder here. He worried about them for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was if it got too cold would he still be able to play ‘catch the frog’?

The Mandalorian sighed right back at him.

“I guess I need to work on those Gal Basic lessons with you some more. Here on Nevarro we are entering fall. It will get cooler during the day and almost cold at night. But nothing is going to freeze. Your pond will be fine. I’m not sure what’s going to happen with the frogs. I’ve been told that some critters here migrate to spots closer to the lava flats to stay warm. I don’t know if the frogs need to do that.”

Hmmm. Ignoring for a moment that his dad had threatened him with more Gal Basic lessons, Grogu was intrigued by the idea of the frogs migrating from the pond to anywhere else. Because maybe he could decide where that spot was? And if he could decide where that spot was then his game of chase the frogs could turn into a game of find the frogs? That would be fun.

He drifted away from where his dad was working and went to sit by the pond. He thought about the time they were on Trask and he stayed with the Frog Lady and her partner so his dad go off and steal a ship that used to belong to the Empire. Or help Bo-Katan steal it. Whatever. The important part was that the Frog family had grown bigger while he was there because Tad went from being an egg to being a person.

That had been a fascinating transformation and maybe, if Grogu set up a series of warming nests around their homestead he could give the frogs a nice spot to migrate to and observe how their eggs became froglets and then frogs. It he was lucky, maybe one or more of the frogs would end up being like Tad and they could play games and be friends.

“Hey, buddy. Here. I made this for you a while back. I just found it under your old seat in the N-1. This will keep you warm.”

Grogu’s dad brought him a little knit poncho. It was brown with tan stripes. At the time his dad said it was to recognize Grogu’s Mandalorian and Jedi heritage. Grogu had hoped for something a little brighter that recognized his cheerfulness. He slipped it on and sighed.

He trotted over to his dad and gave his boot a hug and then hopped up onto the N-1. If Din could help him with his needs, Grogu could help him back. The tiny spot that needed lubrication was easy for him to reach and Grogu figured that if he helped his dad, the Mandalorian would be far more likely to start knitting tiny ponchos for Grogu’s frog friends. Right?

I have feelings.

Also, if you sent me a message with spoilers just know that I did see them and love them, but I won't be replying to any until a few days from now to avoid accidentally spoiling it for any one else.

MANDALORIAN SPOILERS BELOW CUT.

I think I liked the episode? No, I did. I did like the episode overall, but it felt... flat to me? I don't know how to put it into words, but I'm sitting here post finale feeling very '🤷🏻‍♀️meh'.

LIKE DON'T GET ME WRONG. Love, love, LOVE that Din Djarin officially adopted Grogu (side note was this episode trying to tell me that this entire fucking time Din was the family name and not Djarin? i'm ignoring that forever, Grogu Djarin shall thrive in my heart).

LOVE that it ends with Din having a little home with his little boy and it's hinting that he's gonna go on little adventures with Grogu😭 I adore that so much [an anon, sent me a message that at the end of the episode they thought of 'A Fresh Start' and I am not ashamed to say I did too😘]

LOVE that Bo Katan and Din didn't end up a couple. Which, I am sorry to those who really wanted them together (not super sorry mind you) but I still stand firmly by the fact that literally both of them could do better [and side note I'm still very much here for the absolute chemistry b/w the Armorer and Bo Katan].

LOVE all the fight scenes where Din kicked ass. Like, HOLY HELL. I made a post last week about how Din had no badass moments like he has in the last two seasons and the it was like the show writers went 'yeah okay bitch fine hold my beer' and wrote the most BADASS SCENES. The part where Din is kicking ass with R5 dropping shields one by one? Yeah, that'll live in my head rent free forever.

LOVE that gideon didn't take off Din's helmet. I want to see Din helmet less so badly but I also want it to be his choice the next time it happens (if it happens).

SO I LOVE ALL THOSE THINGS. But, I still finished the season feeling kind of 'meh'. I think it's because at no point did I feel like I was on the edge of my seat? But, you know what, whatever. I will claim this as a victory overall b/c Grogu is officially Din's son, Din is a home owner with his boy, he's back to his bounty hunting roots, and he got to end the season sitting his tired ass on the front porch while watching his son terrorize the local animal life.🙏🏼

The rotation ended with the birthday of the twins, which Erinle was happy to attend and could barely leave the babies alone. The von Wend (2)s were really becoming a party house, with every party a smashing success.

Clan of Three (Book 3) Chapter Four

Father Figure! Mandalorian/Din Djarin x Teen! Reader

Chapter Four: The Mines

Summary: (Y/N) and Bo-Katan fight a monster, the Darksaber is aggressive, and Mando finds the Living Waters.

When (Y/N) saw Bo-Katan stalking towards the N-1 as they touched down on Kalevala, they could tell she was annoyed that Mando had returned. Unfortunately, for Bo-Katan’s feelings, (Y/N) really wasn’t in the mood to deal with theatrics since their dad’s life was on the line.

“Maybe I didn’t make myself clear last time,” said Bo-Katan, her grip on her helmet tight, betraying her annoyance. “I want to be left alone.”

The canopy opened, and (Y/N) stuck their head up and leveled a look at Bo-Katan. “Yeah, really don’t care. My bu—Mando is in danger.”

Bo-Katan’s eyes widened. She may not like Mando bothering her, but she wouldn’t abandon her.

“We went into the caves and found some strange cyborg creatures that attacked him,” said (Y/N). “R5 has the exact coordinates.”

Bo-Katan nodded and looked at her droid. “Download the astromech.” She turned to (Y/N) and Grogu. “Come. We’ll take my ship.”

(Y/N) didn’t have to be told twice.

It was a tense flight to Mandalore, but Bo-Katan didn’t ask them to speak as they rushed to Mandalore. This time, the thunder of the atmosphere didn’t bother (Y/N) as all they could focus on was finding Mando and saving him. Bo-Katan felt a small smile break onto her face as she saw Mandalore appear her once more. The ruins reminded her of battles lost and friends long since departed, but Bo-Katan couldn’t help but remember the glory of Mandalore and hope that it may rise once more.

“It didn’t always look like this,” said Bo-Katan.

“I know,” said (Y/N) absently, visions of Mandalore the Great and their lands in their mind.

Bo-Katan glanced at them, confused at how familiarly they spoke as if they had seen Mandalore’s glory first hand. She brushed it off as (Y/N) not really paying attention since they were concerned about Mando. After all, (Y/N) hadn’t even been born when Mandalore fell.

They landed in the same clearing Mando had, and Bo-Katan looked at Grogu and (Y/N). “I need you to guide me to him.”

“Just bring your jetpack,” said (Y/N), leaving Bo-Katan’s ship. “And watch for creatures.”

Bo-Katan nodded and followed them out with Grogu floating beside her. (Y/N) guided them to the cave overlooking Suntari. Bo-Katan caught her breath as she gazed out at the Mandalorian city below.

“This was once a beautiful civilization,” said Bo-Katan as if trying to remind herself what she was fighting for. “My family ruled it all. Now it’s a tomb.” She swallowed and put on her helmet. “Let’s go.”

“This way,” said (Y/N), jumping off the cliff.

Bo-Katan stared in shock and ran to the side. She breathed a sigh of relief as she saw (Y/N) safely leaping from ledge to ledge. Granted, Bo-Katan had seen Jedi before, such as Ahsoka, but it was still jarring to see a teen jump off a ledge. (Y/N) made their way done jumping, and Bo-Katan and Grogu flew down. They descended through the city and the tunnel until they stood in the passage Mando had been taken in. They continued forward, hands on their blasters to ensure any creature that attacked would be swiftly dealt with.

“I knew quite a few Jedi, you know,” remarked Bo-Katan as they walked in silence. “I don’t know what they taught you about us, but there was a time we actually got along quite well. Fought side-by-side.”

(Y/N) nodded. From the way Mandalore the Great had spoken, they agreed that it was the truth.

“How good are you with the Force?” asked Bo-Katan.

“Good enough to know that something’s here,” murmured (Y/N).

Bo-Katan gently pushed Grogu aside. She took a step forward and looked up with her helmet to examine the ceiling. Bo-Katan fired, and the creatures waiting to jump in from above fell. It swung at her, and she ducked and attacked. (Y/N) jumped up and slashed at the creature, sending it to the ground. Bo-Katan turned and handled the next with a swift block and stab of her knife.

“You alright?” said Bo-Katan, looking at (Y/N) and Grogu. They nodded. She glanced at (Y/N)’s dagger as they wiped it clean. “Is that beskar?”

“Yeah, my b—Mando had it made for me,” said (Y/N).

Bo-Katan blinked. Mando really cared for these foundlings. That was evident. She focused on the task at hand and spoke, “Those are Alamites, and we were their next meal. They used to live in the surface wastelands beyond our cities. If they survived, I wonder what else might have, too.”

“Some creatures I really want to stab,” muttered (Y/N). They nodded to the orange glow up ahead. “Up in there.”

Bo-Katan brought out both her blasters, and (Y/N) grabbed theirs. Together, they went into the room guns blazing, firing at the tall creature as it tried to cook Mando. It whirled on them, holding its electrical staff tightly. It fired at them, and Bo-Katan was hit, flying backwards. (Y/N) dodged and fired, and when the creature faced them, they dodged behind the cage to avoid the shock.

Worthy…Wield…

The familiar whispered echoed around (Y/N) again. Their eyes snapped to the Darksaber, but before they could even contemplate pulling it to them, Bo-Katan scooped it up, swung at the creature as it attacked (Y/N), and destroyed it.

Worthy…Won…Wield…Worthy!

The whispers were even more insistent when the saber rested in Bo-Katan’s hand. (Y/N) furrowed their brow as they heard it. It grew louder, angry at Bo-Katan wielding it, angrier than it had been with Mando. (Y/N) shook their head, running to Mando’s side to check on him. The Darksaber was an afterthought. Whatever it wanted was second to protecting Mando. After all, they had fought to save him.

“Buir, are you okay?” asked (Y/N) worriedly. “Can you hear me?”

Mando groaned. “Verd…’ika…”

Bo-Katan blinked. Buir and Verd’ika. An even closer bond than she’d thought.

“Behind…”

“(Y/N)!” warned Bo-Katan.

(Y/N) felt it as soon as they spoke and jumped to the side. The giant mechanical body that the creature had used to trap Mando was back and attacking. Bo-Katan drew the blade again and attacked, but as she attempted to slash, a heavy weight took over the blade, and she was forced to brace herself. (Y/N) jumped and flipped over the creature, and as it twisted to follow them, they landed on its back.

“Don’t touch me or my family!” shouted (Y/N), and they brought down their dagger on the organic head of the creature.

The mechanic body collapsed, dead, and (Y/N) glared at it before snapping up to see Mando, unmistakably unconscious from the strange tubes attached to him.

“Don’t worry, Verd’ika. Your buir is alright, I have some bacta to help,” said Bo-Katan, opening up the cage. “Just help me carry him.”

(Y/N) and Grogu anxiously hovered beside Mando as he finally awoke beside the fire.

“What happened?” he asked groggily.

“I saved your life. Bo-Katan helped,” said (Y/N).

“Your adike are tougher than they look,” said Bo-Katan, smirking teasingly at him at the acknowledgement of their relationship.

“I know,” said Mando, gazing fondly at (Y/N) and Grogu even through the helmet. He looked to Bo-Katan. “You were right. Mandalore is not cursed.”

“Was I?” retorted Bo-Katan. “Look around. There’s nothing left. A great society is now a memory. I once ruled here for a brief time. Now, it’s destroyed. Nothing to cling to but ashes.” She passed the soup cup to Mando.

“What is this?” asked Mando.

“You’ve never eaten pog soup?” questioned Bo-Katan, almost amused at the idea.

“No,” said Mando.

“Can you appreciate the irony?” said Bo-Katan. “Any Mandalorian worth their armor was raised on this since they were the kid’s size.” Upon seeing Mando stand, she frowned. “You should rest. I’ll get you back to my ship soon enough.”

“I’m not going with you,” said Mando.

“What are you talking about?” asked Bo-Katan.

“I must continue to the Mines of Mandalore so that I may be redeemed,” said Mando.

“I honestly think that it’s adorable that you actually believe these children’s stories,” said Bo-Katan. “But there is nothing magic about the waters.”

“Without the Creed, what are we?” asked Mando as he strapped his weapons back into his belt. “What do we stand for? Our people are scattered like stars in the galaxy. The Creed is how we survived. You rescued me, and I’ll always be in your debt. But I can’t go with you until I fulfill my obligation.”

Bo-Katan paused. “I will take you.”

“To the Living Waters?” asked (Y/N).

“Yes,” said Bo-Katan. “You’d never find them on your own. Not in all this wreckage.”

“Thank you,” said Mando.

“Don’t thank me until you see them,” said Bo-Katan, clearly skeptical of the whole thing.

But at least she’s honoring his beliefs more, thought (Y/N), thinking of Mandalore the Great’s warnings. They scowled. Why am I thinking of all these Mandalorian politics? I’m not in charge here.

Bo-Katan led them to a wide passage at the bottom of the city. Their walk was far more peaceful with no enemies jumping out at them, and (Y/N) could once again feeling the Force or Way or whatever was connecting them all converging around them.

“It’s hard to believe that this all was once filled with our kind,” said Mando as he looked around himself.

“It wasn’t that long ago,” said Bo-Katan. “You’d never know it looking at all this destruction.”

“It looks like it’s been centuries,” said Mando.

“The Empire set out to punish us,” said Bo-Katan.

“Like they do with too many planets,” murmured (Y/N), thinking of Ushti.

Bo-Katan nodded. “To take away our memory, to keep people from remembering that we resisted them.”

Grogu babbled as he gazed around at the city ruins towering up around them.

“Is it hard to see it like this when you know how beautiful it used to be?” asked (Y/N), glancing at Bo-Katan.

“What pains me is seeing our own king fight one another time and time again,” said Bo-Katan. She looked at (Y/N). “Your warning is valid. Our mistakes caused us to fracture and weaken. Killing each other for reasons to confusing to explain…it destroyed us. We had no hope to resist being smashed by the fist of the Empire.” She cleared her throat and nodded in front of them. “There. The entrance to the Mines of Mandalore.”

It was a majestic opening, tall and imposing, delineating its significance within the community. Even amidst the ruins, it stood unharmed, a pure symbol of Mandalorian strength and resilience. The Force thrummed as (Y/N) approached with Grogu, Mando, and Bo-Katan.

As they entered the dark cavern, Bo-Katan lifted a glowing sphere into the air, and it illuminated their way in a misty white light.

“This area looks much older,” said Mando.

“I can feel the energy here,” said (Y/N), shivering.

“The mines have been here for thousands of years,” said Bo-Katan. “The Living Waters are in the chamber below.”

“Have you been here before?” asked (Y/N).

“Yes, when I was a child,” said Bo-Katan. “I was part of the royal family. I took the Creed and was showered with gifts. But the rituals were all just theater for our subjects. They loved watching the princess recite the Mandalorian tenets as her father looked on proudly.” Her tone turned bitter and melancholy. “Such a heartwarming spectacle,” she muttered.

“Maybe he was proud,” said Mando supportively.

“I know he was. I didn’t embarrass him in front of everyone,” said Bo-Katan, voice clipped.

“Your father sounds like an…interesting man,” said Mando civilly. “I would’ve liked to know him.”

“He was a great man,” said Bo-Katan, her voice reminiscent again. “He died defending Mandalore.”

Mando paused, and Bo-Katan frowned at him. “This is the Way,” he said, honoring the memory of the fallen Mandalorians.

Bo-Katan blinked but nodded back, surprised that he would honor someone not of the Watch. A few more steps ahead, the passage opened up to a room that sloped down to the Living Waters. The Waters rippled calmly, and the energy was inviting, as if happy to greet Mandalorians once more.

“Here you go. The Living Waters,” said Bo-Katan. “Hold on. I want you to get the full tour.” She walked to a placard and read it out. “ ‘These mines date back to the age of the first Mandalore.’ ”

(Y/N) shivered, not unpleasantly, as they remembered Mandalore the Great. It felt strange to be standing in a room they had once stood in eons ago.

“ ‘According to ancient folklore, the mines were once a Mythosaur lair,’ ” continued Bo-Katan. “ ‘Mandalore the Great is said to have tamed the mythical beast. Its from these legends that the skull signet was adopted and became the symbol of our planet.’ This is it.”

Mando stood at the edge of the waters, looking down in awe as he stood within his culture’s very history. (Y/N) joined him at the edge, gazing at the murky water. It should have been frightening to not know what lay in those waters, but (Y/N) only felt calm and at home.

“Din? Are you alright?” asked Bo-Katan.

Mando solemnly removed all his weapons and faced the water again. This was his redemption. He would have his honor as a Mandalorian again. (Y/N) and Grogu watched excitedly as their father finally found himself again. Mando took a few steps down into the water, taking each step deliberately as the water rose higher on him.

“And the names of the Ancestors, that I shall walk the way of the Mand’alor, and the words of the Creed shall be forever forged in my heart—”

He dropped beneath the water like a rock.

“Buir!” cried (Y/N), and they dove in after him.

They hit the water, and the whole world blurred around them.
