Soft Fires

Pairing: Din Djarin x F!Reader

Summary: You’ve learned much about the Mandalorian, but his tiny green companion is still a mystery.

Word Count: 5300

Warnings: Explicit, 18+ MINORS DNI, descriptions of male and female bodies, fingering (f receiving), fingers in mouths, semi-unprotected PiV sex (don’t be a fool, wrap your tool, even if you have space birth control), the Creed gets in the way, Mando hops on the struggle bus for a second, FEELINGS.

Notes: FINALLY. Finally. That’s all I’m going to say about this. I was planning to post this as a two shot but screw it, I’ve been sitting on it long enough. It’s time. 

I cannot take credit for the idea of teaching Grogu Tusken Sign Language. The inspiration came from this post and I just love it so much it’s becoming canon in this universe.

Takes place over about three weeks, after the events of Both Sides of the Door.

So the kid is great - cute, energetic, curious, kind (when he’s not too cranky), sassy (which brings much joy to your day, especially when it’s directed at Mando), and all-around better company than most children you’ve met.

He’s got some quirks too, many of which you learn on the fly. First of all being his age.

As I read this, I kept picking up more and more favorite passages. I can't even choose what I liked most.

Teaching Grogu Tusken Sign 🤦‍♀️ Why didn't I think of that?!?

GIRL, DONT WE ALL 😂 I was DYING when I read this.

Don't be sorry, Mando. I would not complain about this. At all. 🥵

I LOVE HIM. Get you a man who can joke during sex.

I was so afraid Din was going to nope out when she brought up removing his gauntlets. So when he said he WANTS to take it off...YESSSSSS.

Him explaining Mesh'la to her and thinking she's more beautiful than Basic can explain...

I AM CRYING, SHAKING, SCREAMING THROWING UP.

Definitely well worth the wait. Thank goodness our little green cockblock learned to nap. I'm going to go take a cold shower.

Chapter 1: You Said You Were Going Out

Pairing: Din Djarin x F!Reader

“Nevarro.”

Mando, like most times he speaks, answers a slew of questions with a single word.

“Oh. I’m not familiar,” you say when he indicates this will be the next planet you land on. He chuckles a little underneath the helm.

“I would think not,” he replies. “It’s where the Guild is situated. My employer.” He chews this word as if the taste is not to his liking.

Oooh those soft little touches and subtle flirting 😍 I'm definitely yearning.

"You're more her type." 👀👀👀 Mando has some competition 😂

Ache

Pairing: Din Djarin x F!Reader

Summary: In the aftermath of illness, Mando takes another step.

Word Count: 3200

Warnings: Explicit, 18+ MINORS DNI, illness (not graphic), descriptions of male and female bodies, fingering (f receiving), grinding, male masturbation, allusions to sexual acts, we’re still yearning because we have trouble letting ourselves have nice things. 

Notes: First I’m making up things about space banks, now we’re speculating about space doctors. I hope in the great Star Wars universe they’ve figured out things like (galactic?) health care and insurance premiums. Poor little Grogu is suffering in this one, but I promise he’s in good hands.

Takes place after Bloom.

You’re tired.

No, maybe more than that.

Bone-deep, drop-dead, some-other-cute-phrase tired.

Oh god yes 😍🤤 Din can help me sleep ANYTIME. I hope he lets her return the favor soon! Until there, I'm enjoying all the yearning. Din masturbating twice in one shower like a damn teenager🤤🤤😂 I love it!

Bloom

Pairing: Din Djarin x F!Reader

Summary: Mando offers a lesson in restraint. And blasters.

Word Count: 4000

Warnings: Explicit, 18+ MINORS DNI, grinding, descriptions of male and female bodies, allusions to sexual acts, female masturbation, descriptions of PiV sex, we’re fantasizing about one (1) sexy space dad in this house. 

Notes: Don’t we all just love some weapons training? Someone explain to me why it is so attractive when Mando does it, because I have never found it sexy in real life. I’m also dedicating this installment to my Star Wars sister @amywritesthings because we just keep yelling at each other about how much this trope worms into our brains and I feel like she’s owed this as a treat.

Takes place directly after A Sweet Response to Tragedy. Like literally the next day.

The blaster in your hand is warm, sweaty along the grip and sticking to your palm. Your wrists are tired, your trigger finger stiff, but you raise the barrel to aim again before firing a bolt.

Zzzst!

“Miss,” Mando says, and you sigh comically, dropping the blaster from its durasteel target and tilting your head up to the sky.

“I don’t think this is a ‘practice makes perfect’ situation, Mando,” you huff, looking over at him. He’s sitting on a fallen tree, one elbow on his knee as the child stomps around in the dirt.

Someone please kidnap the kid or something so they can be alone 😩

Kidding, kidding. Or am I? 🤔

This is pretty much how I looked while reading

FUCK. Mando says kneel, you kneel 🧎‍♀️ I will be thinking about that scene tonight.

These two have had such terrible pasts but they've finally managed to find some beauty. Here's to hoping the flowers just continue to bloom for them.

Phenomenal as always. I get so happy when I see you've tagged me in another installment. I could read about these two all day everyday.

Late in the evening, Din makes his way to the bunk to settle the child. He expects you to be in it already, but when the door shutters up it’s empty. He pauses, considering where you could be, before seeing what’s replaced you.

I like where these two are headed 😍

Din looking at himself in the mirror, seeing himself as a 'normal' man 🥺 Poor baby. Let me give you a hug 😭

You’re sure you’ll spot Mando as you head further from town, all shining valor, but he sneaks up behind you until he’s just by your shoulder, startling you hard enough that you stumble forward.

“Maker, Mando, we’ve talked about this,” you complain, shooting vibroblades out your eyes at him. He shrugs and chuckles, reaching down to pat the kid on the head. His hand is dangerously close to your crotch and you have to willfully wish away your imagination.

(down girl)

Me to Grogu right now

Let them have a few minutes (or hours 😏) alone you cute little green shit.

This is amazing. I love how they find ways to show affection despite the armor. Love finds a way, right? 😂

The return to the loud street clears your head and returns you to the tasks at hand. The vendors lined up on either side entice you with bright cloth, round ripe fruits and intrusive shopkeeps peddling their wares. Slowly walking back the way you came, you start the annoying process of haggling with every shopkeep. It’s the pleasant non-threatening haggling most women need to do, hemming and hawing about cost as you wait for the owner to succumb to a price reduction so he feels like he’s helping you out. The women owners are easier; a few quick words and most offers are agreeable.

Am I finally all caught up?! Aww man! Now I have to wait for more 😭

Do I like shopping with my own children? No. Would I love to shop with Grogu? Absolutely. So cute he thought of Din when he saw the clothes. That man could use some new clothes 😂

Chapter 1: If You're Not Afraid of the Water

Notes: The Crest in canon is a nightmare for day to day life, so I’ve taken some liberties with the setup. We’re also going to not get too hung up on how a space economy runs because I tried googling “star wars bank” and came up with banking syndicates, so for our purposes bank accounts are galactic (just be careful of the foreign ATM fees).

“Really?”

Mando chuckles at the look on your face, torn between “Is this a joke?” and “I’m fucking ecstatic.” 

“Really. A planet that actually has some civilization on it.” He turns back to the transparisteel, tapping a couple buttons as he enters coordinates. “One that definitely has a market so you can stop stealing my clothes.”

(thank the Maker)

Oh, this is lovely 🥺 I love watching her and Din get more comfortable with each other being around. I also love how positive she is, knowing that she didn't leave home behind. She's a lot less homesick than I would be 😂 Of course if my home was filled with scum and villany and endless sand I probably wouldn't miss it much either 🤔😂

The ruckus when Mando returns is fascinating without visuals. The screech of the cargo ramp lowering is long and grating against your ears. Thunks of Mando’s boots climbing the ramp are heavier than when he left (carrying precious cargo). The hiss and slam of, you assume, Mando shoving the bounty into the carbonite chamber. You’d found the manual tucked under the console and had it open on your lap. It’s a complicated read, but you think with a few passes through you could at least check for leaks and do minor maintenance provided you don’t mess with the carbonite gas line.

I love your Din so much. Probably better than my own Din 😂 I love that they can make each other laugh. Thank the Maker they're finally moving in the right direction...together. They both deserve happiness. Mandalore and his stupid Creed can fuck off and let them be happy, damn it.

You write one last item in your datapad (a heavy blanket or two) and sit down hard on the edge of Mando’s cot. You are tired, but refreshed with the satisfaction of a goal well met. You slept better last night than you had since your first boneless night on the Crest.

Oh my god! My eyes welled with tears reading this. In the beginning, I was worried he'd come back and be furious that she changed things on his ship (maker please don't let this happen in the next chapter 😭). I'm so happy he realized he could lose her if things don't change.

“Two days at most.”

That’s what Mando tells you when you ask how long he’ll be tracking this bounty on foot. He’s slipping charges into his bandolier, holstering his blaster and slinging his amban rifle across his shoulders. You watch him with barely veiled curiosity (maybe a little low-simmering desire) as he becomes even more fearsome. The child is perched on your lap, your fingers holding both of his little claws.

“What if it’s longer than that? Just getting here was supposed to be a couple days,” you say, and the cold whip of his helmet shuts you up immediately.

(Kriff, okay, no joking about work)

🥺 But you can be a clan of three 😭

I love that we finally get into Din's mind, finally understand what he's thinking. It's understandable, but damn it Din, I hope you realize how you're making her feel.

A few days later you settled on board the Razor Crest, and the pervasive silence and boredom has become less of a surprise and more of a constant.

I love this awkward tin-can of a man, but WHAT THE FUCK, MANDO. Talk to her 😭 I am so incredibly sad for her right now.

Okay, so maybe you had some expectations when you agreed to go on the Razor Crest with Mando and the child, or bean as you’d started calling him. He pretty much reacted the same way no matter what name you called him, so you at least wanted a fun one to say.

(he does look a bit like a wrinkly dried bean, color and all)

Oh no 🥺 I hope she can find that she belongs on the ship 😭

Your eyes are swimming in a sea of green, brown and black as you fight to keep them open. But the warmth of the child in your lap, the rhythmic breathing of the little body against yours, and the heaviness in your limbs is pulling you closer to succumbing.

A low noise rumbles to your left and you try to lift your head towards it, but everything feels slow and thick. You hum in your chest as another patch of warmth blooms on your shoulder. The noise is closer now, right by your ear.

“Mesh’la.”

I LOVE this 😍

Their "kiss" was so sweet and sensual. I love that they're practically strangers (isn't this only the second time they've been together?! 😂) yet they seem to really know and understand each other. I am excited to read more! I could read them forever.

By the time you stumble into the only hanger in Mos Eisley, your chest is burning and your legs feel boneless, your feet searing hot from the friction of running. You hadn’t tried to stop and find transport, too worried that the Imps would be close behind or that you would only be putting yourself in more danger. The pod kept up well, your fingers curled around a thin lip of metal to prevent it from skittering away from you. Your whole body is either numb or screaming with exhaustion, mouth lined with dust and sand as you look around for someone to help.

OH MY MAKER. I love, love, love this chapter. It very much feels like a part of the show. I forgot that I'm reading fanfiction and not a novelization of an episode from the show. I am happy to see Peli. I love her! I love that Din planned to leave with her without thinking about it. Him watching her sleep with Grogu is so sweet 🥺 Everything about this is perfect!

On the surface of a desert planet, a woman walks home.

FUCK YES THERE'S MORE!
