Clan of Two

People Expect Big Things From a Man With a Jetpack by @cosmicoceanfic (Din & Grogu, Gen, 2k)

“It’s like watching a baby bird try and take off for the first time,” Cara says. She holds out a corn popper to the Child, who pauses in his singleminded quest to try and devour the pendant to eye it thoughtfully. “I could kill you any which way right now,” Din says. Cara chews, slowly and deliberately. “You could definitely try.” The Child takes the corn popper and stares at it. “Relax, part of practicing something new is getting your ass handed to you every now and again. It’s just my right as a person to laugh at you for it.”

Higher Education by JordannaMorgan (Din & Grogu, Gen, 0.7k)

Peli wonders if Mando might be overdoing it just a little.

💜 Child-Centered Approach by @devildoll (Din & Grogu, Gen, 32k)

In which Grogu goes to school on Nevarro, Din chaperones a field trip, and nothing could possibly go wrong.

In These Soft Places by Ruuger (Din & Grogu, Gen, 1k)

Din's injuries from the battle catch up with him. Set right after Book of Boba Fett Chapter 7 ends.

Baby's Bounty by @ooops-i-arted (Din & Grogu, Gen, 4k, Parenting Shenanigans)

Din must hunt down a valuable bounty, and there will be dire consequences if he doesn’t find his quarry…

🔐 Out of Time by @ginnyq (Din & Grogu, Gen, 11k, Angst)

When a last-minute pit stop on the way to Tython turns deadly, Din has to ask Grogu to do something he hoped would never be necessary. But even successful plans have unforeseen outcomes, and the consequences are worse than he could have expected.

🔐 under the moon and stars by @oathkeeperoxas (Din & Grogu, Gen, 1k, Post-Season/Series 03)

Din indulges Grogu his favourite food, and decides to try something new that his son might like too.

💜 He is his father’s son (series) by @hinderr (Din & Grogu, warning this one is sad as hell, Grief/Mourning, POV Grogu)

Prince of a thousand enemies.

The Way Home by @starryreys (Din & Grogu, Gen, 2.5k, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence)

“Hey,” Cara’s voice from behind him suddenly startles him out of his thoughts. He turns around to look at her where she’s still standing in the doorway. “Are you alright?” she asks. He looks down to the kid in his arms, tired and hurt, but safe and here. “Yeah,” he says, “I am. (Din and Grogu make it off Gideon's light cruiser together, and Din removes his helmet for an entirely different reason.)

The Father by @starryreys (Din & Grogu, Gen, 2k)

Din’s mother had given him a wavering smile before she hugged him goodbye. His father’s hands had been steady on his shoulders as he kissed his forehead. He hadn’t realized the strength it must have taken them not to crumble until now. Din watches the kid, his eyes never wavering, a small smile on his lips and a reassuring nod on his head. Din waits until his kid is gone from his eyeline. Then he crumbles.

Unleash Your Creativity by wingedcats (Din & Grogu, Gen, 2k, Parenthood)

Din frowned. The silver-green smudge stared back up at him, revealing little. “It’s a self-portrait?” “Must be.” Cara hitched one shoulder in a shrug. “Lucky we’re chasing down a Jedi for him, not an artist. Doesn’t look like he’s got much of a future there.” “You don’t know that,” Din said, feeling unaccountably defensive. “He’s just a baby.” Din decides to give the Child an opportunity to explore his artistic side. With mixed results.

i can’t believe they just sent baby yoda off to boarding school by wellwhiskey (Din & Grogu, Gen, 2k, Post-Season/Series 02)

“Was it worth it?” Gideon asks now. Cara knows he isn’t directing the question at Reeves. “Somehow it doesn’t feel like it was.” i'm sick of it i'm sick of star wars

Belonging by DistantStorm (Din & Grogu, Gen, 2k, Post-Season/Series 02, The Book of Boba Fett, Luke Skywalker, 1.5k)

Luke believes he is observant, and yet— The Force itself seems to be laughing at him. Outside the stone framed window, Luke watches his student sit at the edge of the wildflower meadow near the stream, folded into a meditative pose. A white butterfly has landed on top of his head, and several more flit around him in a shimmer of pollen and sunlight.

🔐 Undying Sea, Unquenchable Dragonfire* by @renardroi (Din & Grogu, Gen, 10k, Alternate Universe - Fantasy, Fae & Fairies)

Kyramud, his mind tries to remind him. This is his enemy, this is the child-thief. But it seems even he is weak to the enchanting magics of the fey people, the allure of their wild beauty. They move and look and feel like a ballad that has come to life, a siren drawing him in so that they can drown him. Medieval Fantasy AU Mandalorians are a dying clade of knights, the jetiise are fey creatures.

(*I see the tags on this one but they aren't yet reflected in the work and the vibes are impeccable you'll just have to trust me)

The Last of His Name by @coffeequill (Din & Grogu, Gen, 36k, Alternate Universe - Fantasy)

“I don’t joust,” says Din, out of breath. “You do now,” says Cara, and she gives him a grin before swinging in again. He deflects it with a ring of the sliding metal. ---- After escaping the clutches of Moff Gideon, Din and his foundling travel the country in search of the boy's magical people, armed with naught but beskar and horse. As money runs tight, a return to bounty hunting seems their only option. Cara enlists his help in bringing in a difficult target, but help involves his participation in a tournament, competing for a handsome pay. To take care of his son, Din accepts, only to receive far more than he bargained for.

Boreas Sylvatica by @milokno (Din & Grogu, Gen, 17k, Alternate Universe - Post-Apocalypse, Human Grogu)

Grogu stirs. His eyes flutter open, for just a moment, and he shifts closer to Din. He stares down at the kid. His own eyes soften. The sharp, jagged lines that divide his face don’t completely disappear, but they do fade. His legs still ache, and his exhaustion doesn’t loosen where it’s constricting around his ribs— digging into the bones that stick out, ever so slightly. All of it, though, becomes inferior to the warmth that spreads throughout his chest. OR While on a supply run, Din finds a child. They take care of each other.

💜 A Short Guide to Fatherhood by @burglarhobbit (Din & Grogu, Gen, 9k, Luke Skywalker, Ben Solo, Found Family, one of my favorites!)

“Well, development isn’t just for the child,” Skywalker says, inclining his head to Din. “It’s very good you’re taking the time to explain things to him that he may not yet understand, or to emphasise what he may already know but has not yet taken in very well. You can learn from him, as he does from you.” Din nods shakily, and Grogu, settled between his legs, leans into his body. Din’s hand ghosts over Grogu’s head, and he slowly pats the child. It feels awkward, with his gloves still on, but Grogu doesn’t move away. Skywalker moves on to the next parent in the circle, and Din feels as if he has passed another test of this so-called parenting thing. Or: Luke Skywalker does development circles with the parents of the students in his Academy. Din isn't yet sure if that's actually helpful or not.

home again, for the first time by @icecreambeach (Din & Grogu, Gen, 2k, Post-Season/Series 03)

It’s time for Din and Grogu to rest, but not before Din does his Dad diligence. (post-season 3 finale spoilers)

Apostates and Ever Afters by DistantStorm (Din & Grogu, Gen, 1k, Found Family, The Book of Boba Fett)

A clan of two, reprised.

build it together by @ckerouac (Din & Grogu, Gen, 2k, Post-Season/Series 03, Family)

The house itself is small, but the two of them have never needed much space. After the events on Mandalore, Din and Grogu start to build their life on Nevarro.

cookies (to share) by @hinderr (Din & Grogu, Gen, 5k, Family Feels)

Happy Valentines day. You are loved <3 - Four things that Din Djarin learns, and one thing that Grogu Djarin has always known
