Legally Blonde would make for a fantastic Dinluke AU (particularly the musical version)
Like, Luke being the hopeless romantic following his ex to Harvard (like it’s hard??) bc he thinks they’re meant to be. Nobody takes him seriously, he’s a bubbly blond with rich parents and that’s all people see him as
Din (who grew up in a tougher situation than most there) who ends up catching feelings, but more than anything just wants to see Luke succeed. The friendship is more than enough. Idk like he’s studying while also working a ton and balancing being a father too (idk, bc like Grogu is important and I love him)
Luke taking Din to get a new suit, like in Take It Like a Man from the musical -
Din: I look like (ex). But it’s just me…
Luke: That’s the best part, the outside is new. But now it reflects what’s already in you. Couldn’t change that if i wanted to. And I do not
It’s been a while since I watched the musical so just little moments I think would be great Dinluke’d:
Luke being certain that he’ll be getting engaged, but he’s taken out for a nice dinner to be broken up with. Bc he’s not ‘serious enough’
Luke in the bunny costume??? Din seeing him and greeting him with “what’s up? … Doc.” Honestly just ALL of Chip On My Shoulder is them.
Luke doing the bend and snap??
And ofc the angst of the song Legally Blonde. Luke gets hit on/kissed by the professor and plans to leave Harvard. Din standing by Luke’s door, trying to convince him to stay, that they’ll fight it
Honestly the confident energy of Emmett in LBTM translating into Din is delicious. Him leaning in to say “Do you really think I’d let you get away?” Into Luke’s ear at the final court case
Just Din being so in love, but just happy for any amount of Luke he can have in his life, wanting to push him to success and proudly standing by his side while he does
Also the scene where the dad says “law school is for boring, ugly, serious people. And you are none of those things.” Is so Anakin

Ao3 Masterpost
Hi friends! I've decided to make a masterpost of all of my work on Ao3, where my username is casuallysavingtheworld. If you see a fic you recognize and didn't know it was me who wrote it, hi! My name is Kate, I write mostly Dinluke/Star Wars fanfic!
Currently, you have to be a registered user to leave comments on my works. This is because I've had a couple of shitty people hiding behind the internet being rude. If you do not have an ao3 account, but would like to say some nice things about my works, please send me an ask! I love talking to people about my writing. Kindness is always appreciate it!
This masterpost will be updated periodically with new works as I continue to write! Please read the tags of each story on Ao3 before reading.
Thank you!
wherever you stray, i follow series
Republic never fell, and Anakin didn't go to the Dark Side AU. Luke is an ambassador to Mandalore and Din is the Mand'alor.
wreck my plans, that's my man | Rated E | Part 1 -Dinluke, with background HanLeia, and super light Boba/Fennec and Cara/Bo-Katan Luke Skywalker-Naberrie is sent on a diplomatic mission to Mandalore, on behalf of the Republic. He plans on getting the work done and leaving as soon as he can after the two years is up, but that was before he meets the Mand'alor.
i take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover | Rated T | Part 2 -Dinluke, with background Anidala, Hanleia Anakin, quite frankly, is sick of his son’s shit.
(Luke comes back from a mission on Mandalore with a surprise, a husband and a child. Anakin doesn't know how to handle this.)
all along there was a invisible string tying you to me series
A golden string of fate soulmate AU.
one single thread of gold tied me to you | Rated T | Part 1 -Dinluke with background HanLeia Luke just sits and stares, as it’s all he can do, hoping one day, he’ll be able to follow his string, all the way to whoever is on the opposite end of it. He bets they’re beautiful, no matter what they look like. At night, in Luke’s dreams, he catches glimpses of deep brown eyes, a pre-empire ship, armor and a silver helmet.
(Luke Skywalker has a golden string attached to his finger, that floats into the sky, leading him somewhere, to someone. He's the only one who can see them. During the adventure of a lifetime, he searches for answers, eventually leading him exactly where he needs to be)
hell was the journey but it brought me heaven | Rated T | Part 2 -Dinluke, no background relationships He hates that he can see the strings, something he realizes no one else around him can do, and Din hates them. His string wants to lead him away from the things he’s come to know, the life he wants to live. He’s trying to be brave, god damn it, and the string keeps pulling and tugging, trying to get him to follow it.
(Din Djarin has a golden string attached to his finger, that floats into the sky, leading him somewhere. He's the only person he knows who can see them. He runs from it, hating that they exist, which leads him exactly where he's supposed to go.)
honey, life is just a classroom series
College AU series, with both Dinluke and RoseRey.
up on the roof with a schoolgirl crush | rated T | currently the only part, working on the next part! -RoseRey, with background DinLuke Professor Djarin looks disheveled. Professor Djarin never looks disheveled.
On one of the last Fridays of the semester, Professor Djarin is late to class. Rose wants to figure out why, and why he's acting so anxious, all while trying to keep sneaking glances at Rey, her long-time crush.
Where only the sweetest words remain
Hades/Persephone AU. I will not be writing more in this AU, series complete.
when suddenly I saw you | Rated T | Only one part of this series -Dinluke, no background relationships This story is about two people. One was considered life. The other was considered death. It starts like this. (Or a retelling of the story of Hades and Persephone, with Din as Hades and Luke as Persephone)
all's well that ends well to end up with you
Canon fix-it, post season 2 of the Mandalorian. Series completed.
what must it be like, to grow up so beautiful? | Rated T | Part 1 -Dinluke, background Hanleia if you squint Grinding his teeth down, Din was once again, grateful for his famed helmet to hide how he was really feeling. Leaning against a wall, away from the rest of the party guests, the party Leia had crafted, Din couldn’t help but think about the moments he realized he had feelings for the Jedi. (Din thinks about all the moments he realized he had feelings for a certain Jedi)
you drew stars all around my scars | Rated T | Part 2 -Dinluke, family relationships Din’s eyes catch the pale scars that line many parts of the Jedi’s body. They are all parts of Luke’s past, which led him here to this moment with Din.

Hey there, my name's Air! My pronouns are she/her and I'm 25 years old. I'm writing a refresh of my previous RP post to pin to my blog, since I have new stuff to add :) Anyways, please DNI if you're younger than 21. (AM NOT REPLACING MY CURRENT PARTNERS, BC I LOVE YOU ALL! Just looking for more (: ) A little about me: I work weekdays but I generally try and get replies out as fast as I can. I can write easily anywhere from 100 words to 1,000, depending on what length we decide we'd like to do. I am very flexible in that regard! Reply length doesn't really matter to me as long as I've got something to grab hold of and reply to. That being said, I definitely prefer novella/multi-para style RP. I write third person, present tense, BUT you can definitely write past tense if you prefer; I don't really care if the tenses are different. I like to chat ooc and have lots of fun musing, as well. I'm gonna list my fandoms and ships down below. I know that some are SUPER niche, so I don't really expect any hits for those but LOL--gotta try.
(There will be a ☆ next to the ships I really wanna do; characters I'd like to write will be bold, otherwise I have no preference.) SHADOWHUNTERS: • JIMON (Jace x Simon) MARVEL: • CABLEPOOL (Cable x Deadpool) ☆ • SPIDEYPOOL (Andrew!Spidey x Deadpool) • WINTERPANTHER (Bucky x T'Challa) ☆ • BRUTASHA (HULK x Black Widow) • DEADDEVIL (Daredevil x Deadpool) • CHERIK (Magneto x Professor X) • FRATT (Punisher x Daredevil) • BENREED (Reed x Ben; F4 2015) • SYMBROCK (Venom x Eddie) • LOGURT (Nightcrawler x Wolverine) TOP GUN: • ICEMAV (Iceman x Maverick) ☆ • HANGSTER (Hangman x Rooster) ☆ • HOLLYWOLF (Hollywood x Wolfman) ☆ • HANGMAV (Maverick x Hangman) • BOBNIX (Bob x Phoenix) THE WALKING DEAD: • JAARON (Aaron x Jesus) ☆ • DARSITA (Rosita x Daryl) • SHARICK (Shane x Rick) PACIFIC RIM: • MALEIGH (Mako x Raleigh) ☆ STAR TREK: • MCKIRK (McCoy x Kirk; AOS) ☆
STAR WARS: • STORMPILOT (Finn x Poe) ☆ • REYLO (Rey x Kylo) ☆ • HANDO (Lando x Han) ☆ • DINLUKE (Din x Luke) ☆ • KYLUX (Kylo x Hux)
YU Y U HAKUSHO: • KURAHI (Kurama x Hiei) ☆ • KUWAMESHI (Kuwabara x Urameshi) • YUSUHI (Yusuke x Hiei) INUYASHA: • INUKOGA (Inuyasha x Koga) PIXAR'S CARS: (IK, IK.) • McQueen x Mater (Human AU's) ☆ • McQueen x Francesco (Human AU's) ☆
I do not double! I only RP CC x CC (and oc x oc, but I'm not looking for that atm). We can write multiples of the fandoms listed above, too (: I don't mind at all! I love having lots of threads w/ partners.

A dinluke college au (Din is a TA)
Din is leaving class a little late, caught up in skimming the papers he’d have to grade eventually, before heading out to lunch. The halls are empty, students in class or outside. So it stops Din short when he rounds the corner and spots a familiar mop of blond hair sitting on the stairs, back towards him.
He hears a muttered, “shit,” and the young man sitting up straighter, hands moving about his face frantically before giving a small sniffle and then a groan of misery.
“Luke?” He must’ve heard him coming down the previous steps, echoing within the empty stairwell.
Luke’s head turns slightly, catching his eyes and a broken grin morphing onto his face.
“Hey, Mr. Djarin.”
“You okay?” Din continues his descent, stopping next to Luke and taking a seat a respectable distance away.
“Yeah, yep.” He gives one more swipe under his eye and sniffles again. “I’m fine.”
Din brings his lips in, trying not to stare. Luke’s nose is pink and his eyes, trained straight ahead, are glistening but no more tears are falling.
Din’s not one to pry. In fact, had this been anyone else, he’d take them at their word and leave. But this wasn’t just anyone else. He watched Luke calmly, eyes searching.
“What’s wrong?”
Luke exhales and it sounds like a laugh, a defeated, humorless chuckle.
“Ah, just…” he wrings his hands out in front of him. “Boyfriend drama.”
Boyfriend drama. That really should be his cue to leave. But a selfish part of him roots Din to the spot. He’s never been this close to Luke, physically or emotionally, not really. And he’s always wanted to know more about him.
The first day Din saw him, sitting bored in the middle of Professor Kuiil’s lecture hall, Din had to physically turn his gaze away and back at the smart board Kuiil was using to go over the syllabus for Astronomy 2292. Everyone here was second years, used to day one dedicated to something boring. Din kept taking peeks at him though, fluffy blond hair, ocean blue eyes, sun kissed skin barely noticeable under a flannel and jeans. He’d seen his fair share of attractive students in the handful of semesters being a TA, but obviously hadn’t paid any more attention than a quickly averted gaze. As a TA, Din was absolutely not allowed to find his students attractive… at least while they worked together in an academic standing.
He’d looked that up after a month had gone by and he was still sneaking glances at the blond– Luke Skywalker–... it was good information to know.
Not that he’s ever had the balls to act on it.
Luke felt unobtainable. Even when Din had the class to himself, all eyes on him as he lectured and drew equations on the board and called on students to answer. He could feel Luke watching him more than anyone else, like his gaze was the sun and his skin prickled and burned as the minutes ticked on. He’d come up to Din sometimes after class, a hesitant smile as he asked for more information or advice on a paper; purely professional. Like Luke had no idea what he was doing to Din’s brain.
Din wouldn’t delude himself into thinking that Luke coming up to him after class meant anything. That he just took a long time gathering his things and that’s why it was often just the two of them left in the large room. That Luke had nowhere else to be and that's why he lingered at Din’s desk, or at the door, a casual question about the lecture morphing into casual chit chat about the weather, a comet or star that had been recently discovered, or even what store Din shopped at, “I love that jacket on you.”
They had started getting comfortable around each other and it was a little terrifying, because Din wasn’t sure where the line between casual and… personal laid. Professional and friendly.
Any assumption Din had dared to let creep into his brain was abruptly shattered the day an older student met Luke in the hallway. He’d never stopped by before, in the weeks they’d been getting to know each other. A man with shaggy hair and roguish good looks took Luke’s hand without hesitation and led them away. Something cracked in Din’s chest then. It’d been a long time since he’d had a crush, and an even longer time admitting to himself when he got one, and now he remembered why he’d tamped them down in the first place: they were distracting.
Distracting and pointless, especially if he wanted to continue being a teacher’s assistant and graduate on time with his PHd.
“We broke up.”
Din was rushed back to the present, looking at Luke who finally tilted his head to meet his gaze, smiling sadly. His head swirled with what to say, how to comfort him. His fingers tapped on his messenger bag as the silence stretched on, nearly becoming awkward. Luke sensed it, his posture going rigid and opening his mouth to speak again, probably apologize and leave, and Din spat out the first thought that came to him.
“He’s an idiot.”
Luke’s eyes sparkled with something, and he laughed quietly, looking to his lap and shaking his head.
“He’s not an idiot,” Luke smiled, but it didn't touch his eyes. “We work better as friends, anyway.”
Din wonders what it’s like to be friends with Luke, to see that smile directed at that man aimed at him, to hear him laugh and make jokes and to just see him relaxed and at ease. He wonders how he could earn Luke’s friendship, if he’d ever thought of him that way…
“Are you hungry?”
Luke turned, eyebrows high in question.
“Huh?”
Din swallowed, pressing on. “Would you like to get lunch?”
“Oh, uh…” Luke looked down at himself again, genuinely surprised at the question and Din smiled.
Luke catches it and smiles too, showing his teeth and ducking his head just as Din caught a pair of dimples.
“Sure,” Luke nods, the smile is still there but he’s tamped it down, like he’s afraid of getting too excited. “Why not.”

Dinluke Hogwarts AU thoughts? 👀
YES.
Luke: Hufflepuff (first pick), Gryffindor (second pick); we're going to go with him as Hufflepuff (cause I am Hufflepuff and I want to share my house with Luke). He is very good with Care of Magical Creatures, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and is a seeker for his house. He always gets into some sort of trouble, even though he never means to. Every time a seer has a vision or there is a reading of tea leaves, he is somehow involved. Very sweet and personable student; he's a favorite of many teachers and the Headmaster, Yoda, along with Professor Kenobi are quite protective over him, especially in regards to the evil wizard on the run known as Vader.
Luke is highly talented with magic. It's like it breathes within him and he it. Sometimes it feels impossible for the two to be seen as different. Many are already trying to recruit him to be an Auror, something he wanted to be when he was younger, but he is starting to like the idea of teaching more. He has a lot of dreams, sometimes when he thought he was awake, and sees terrible things before they happen.
Luke has a terrible crush on the quiet student named Din Djarin. He tries to talk with him whenever he can but Din never seems too interested (much to his heart-break). But he does his best to be friends with the young man whenever the opportunity opens.
He, unintentionally, drags people, such as Din, on dangerous misadventures. This has led them to becoming very close as Luke trusts Din with a lot about himself and what he sees.
Din: Gryffindor (first pick), Slytherin (second pick); Din is seen as a protector in his house. He always looks after the first years, of any house, and is very protective over anyone he sees as part of his group. He is good with Care of Magical Creatures (though he doesn't want to be), Ancient Runes, and Arithmancy. He is horrible with any history class. He seems unaware of how anything works and has no idea of the biggest wars or villains in in wizardry world. He somehow accidentally adopts a young House-elf that has a lot more power than a creature of its kind to have (Yoda is the only other one known to have any ability, let alone raise up in the world).
Din likes to keep his head down and be out of everyone's way. He is not too interested in school-life. He just wants to be done and be on his own. He does have friends but he is just an introvert who wants to have a quiet life. He seems to be more talented with knowledge than magic though. The flow has never come as easy to him as it does to most others--he could almost be a squib.
Din's hope for a more quiet life is ruined when Luke barges into his life and takes him on all sorts of adventures. He is rather put off by the happy guy and his troublesome ways at first but the blond slowly grows on him. He realizes he really likes Luke after he turns Luke's invitation down for the Yule Ball because Din did not want to go...only to then learn that Lando asked him. Din found himself in a sour mood for days before and after, unsure why.
He is rather protective over Luke since the guy gets hurt and into trouble a lot. He starts to really worry for him when all these wizards known as Imps begin to try and kidnap him.
Leia: Slytherin (Ravenclaw is SO close); Head-Girl
Han: Gryffindor (had to beg the hat cause he was about to be put into Hufflepuff and he didn't want that; he's not soft!)
Paz: Ravenclaw; Head-Boy
Bo-Katan: Slytherin
Lando: Ravenclaw
Boba: Gryffindor
Fennec: Ravenclaw
Koska: Gryffindor
Woves: Hufflepuff
Cara: Gryffindor
Omera: Hufflepuff
Mayfeld: Hufflepuff (he nearly screeched in displeasure at this)
Greef: Gryffindor House Faculty, Ancient Runes
Kenobi: Hufflepuff House Faculty, Herbology (he makes amazing tea)
Ashoka: Slytherin House Faculty, Defense Against the Dark Arts
Cody: Ravenclaw House Faculty, Flying Master
Kuil: Care of Magical Creatures professor
Artoo: Big, fat, loud, obnoxious, very protective owl of Luke's
Crest: Even bigger, fatter, but nicer owl of Din's (she squishes Artoo often)
Threepio: Leia's dysfunctional and terrified cat
IG-11: A magic rat that is constantly at Din's feet, belongs to Professor Kuil

“Ben. You sounded like you were in a hurry on the phone, what’s going on?”
Ben sets the tray down on the desk, moves with a measured sort of eloquence and betrays none of the excitement from earlier. But his eyes shine, and his smile is tight in the manner of someone who is about to tell a great story—or a secret. “You haven’t been to Sundari yet, have you?”
“No,” he shakes his head. Ben begins pouring tea. “I haven’t had any reason to go.”
“As it happens, I’ve found you one,” Ben promises, and hands him his cup before pouring his own, settling down into his own chair. “Tell me, what do you know of Keldabe?”
“It’s a myth,” Luke says immediately. And it’s a well-known one at that. “It... was the capital city of ancient Mandalore. It’s referred to in sources from around the Great Iron Road, but… there’s no other evidence that it ever actually existed. Old legends say it sank into the sea.” Which is silly, really, because Mandalore is landlocked, and mostly desert.
Ben hums, and carefully sips his undoubtedly scalding tea from his cup.
Luke waits, feels an edge of frustration when he is kept waiting, wondering just where Ben intends to take this. “Look, I went to some of Professor Tano’s lectures and did some reading for my thesis, but… I don’t know much about the Mandalorians. Isn’t this your area?”
Originally, Ben specialised in the same discipline as Luke, and The Jedi Code: Knights and Peacekeepers by Benjamin Kenobi is probably on every undergrad reading list on the continent, if not in the world. However, over the last decade or so, Mandalorian warrior culture has been Ben’s new passion. He is still widely in demand as a consultant and would often head out to Jedi-related finds, but lately he has frequented conferences in Sundari and Ronion alike over the ones in Coruscant.
“I believe,” Ben says, slow and deliberate, “if this lead indeed proves true, this venture could be both our areas.”
“What lead?”
There’s a glint in Ben’s eye when he speaks next. “We’ve found Keldabe.”
A chill goes down Luke’s spine. Found Keldabe. That would be the archaeological achievement of a lifetime, were it true.
“Congratulations,” he says, genuinely. “That’s… that’s amazing. Really. But I don’t—how is this related to my research?”
“You don’t see how this is related to your research on the Jedi-Mandalorian hostilities? You wrote a whole chapter in your thesis on the possible reconciliation between them.”
“Based on a single record from Coruscant that references peace negotiations with Mand’alor the Uniter, but doesn't appear anywhere else in the world and likely didn’t lead to…” he stops as Ben’s words catch up with him and bring a sudden flash of heart-pounding clarity. “You think Keldabe is my missing piece?”
-
From Darasuum, a Dinluke Mummy/Dark Atlantis AU.

okay fine, I’ll play. let’s see, something you can’t make sad (and no, that is NOT a challenge!)… Summer has me in a vacationy mood, so how about DinLuke number 30, tourist/knowledgeable local au? I’ll leave you to decide if Din is the reluctantly knowledgeable local, or if Luke is eager to show the hot dad and his son around
FINE. YOU WANT HAPPY, I'LL GIVE YOU HAPPY!!!
Wait, sorry that came out in my drama voice. *coughs*
30 of AU Ficlist: tourist/knowledgeable local au
Din was no longer a religious man, not since he gently but firmly broke away from his Mormon upbringing years ago. But there were some habits that were hard to break, especially for an exmo, and he couldn’t help but offer up a quick prayer to...something...before he set out on his hike with Luke. Maybe he was praying to Poli`ahu; she would be the most appropriate goddess, given where they were (and wouldn’t his adoptive mother have had a fit over that!).  He sent up a quick prayer for no rain, for clear skies, and, most importantly of all, no tourists.  That last was a big ask, even for the Goddess of Mauna Kea.
But it was the off season for the Big Island, and a weekday, so the trail was quiet.  It was a short hike, five miles roundtrip. It was practically nothing for the two of them. Din wasn’t trying to wear Luke out….yet.  That would hopefully--fingers crossed and prayers sent to all gay friendly gods/godesses out there--come later.
“It really is unbelievably beautiful here,” Luke said quietly as walked near the ocean.  He paused for a minute to close his eyes, tilting his face towards the sun, looking like some sort of god himself, especially with the way in which the light hit the highlights in his hair. A sun god, maybe. Din felt a wave of fierce affection and lust rush through him, like a burst of wind off the sea. His hand drifted down to his cargo shorts pocket, where he reassured himself that the small box he’d put there that morning was still there.
“I can’t believe you left,” Luke admitted as he opened his eyes. “If I was raised here, I’d never leave.”
Din had heard that before from many people. But coming from Luke it felt sincere and probably was, given his childhood history.  “You’d be surprised how quickly you get used to all this,” he said as he waved his arm at their picturesque surroundings. “You don’t notice after a while. The island is too small to spend your whole life here.”
He’d wanted more from his life and freedom from the expectation that he would settle down, marry a nice Mormon woman, and have a small army of children.  He’d always been fine with the children part, and even the marrying part. But the woman part had been the dealbreaker, and when he left the Big Island for the mainland he’d also left that childhood expectation behind.
Now he was back home, a decade later, and surprisingly it was almost how he’d originally expected his life to turn out. He had a son, he had love, and hopefully….
No. Best not to think about it, not to jinx it.  Instead, he waited until Luke had his fill of the ocean before they continued on their way.
“I can see why you didn’t want to bring Grogu,” Luke said as they carefully navigated a rocky curve.  “This isn’t very kid friendly.”
“There’s not much for him to do. The current here is too strong for him,” Din explained as he reached out a hand to Luke so he could help him across.
Luke pouted. “But I thought you were taking me to a secret beach so we could swim. Or...do something else.” Luke raised his eyebrows at him.
“I never said swimming would be involved,” Din said as he gave Luke’s ass a swat.  “We’re not doing what you’re thinking about doing either.” Yet. “This beach isn’t secret, it’s pretty famous.”  There were other more private beaches he could take Luke but that wasn’t the point. It had to be this beach for a specific reason.
“Almost there,” he added as he felt his nervousness begin to grow.  Din could see the ridge where they would begin their descent into the bay. “This area is called Puʻu Mahana; it’s an ancient cinder cone that erupted eons ago.”
“Hmm... I love it when you talk about eruptions,” Luke leered at him.  “I could listen to you talk nerdy all day.”
Din snorted.  “Shut up and get over here.”
“Alright geez, wait up. I--woah.” Luke stopped at the top of the ridge next to him and stared in amazement. “That’s beautiful.”
“Papakōlea beach,” Din said with satisfaction as he looked at the pristine and--miracle of miracles--completely empty sand. They were early enough so they had the bay to themselves. Everytime Din came to Papakōlea he was taken back by the bay’s contrast of colors, with light green cliffside melting away into bright blue water.
“It’s so green!” Luke exclaimed happily. “Is that grass on the sand?”
“Not quite,” Din chuckled as he led the way down the ragged cliffside, towards the old metal staircase built into the cliffside.  “Papakōlea is special because it’s one of the few green sand beaches in the world.”
“Wait? Green sand?!”  That was it, Din had lost Luke. His love ran ahead, hoping over rocks to clammer over to the staircase like a small child.  By the time Din had caught up, Luke was pulling up handfuls of sand and letting the small grains fall through his fingers.
“I never knew sand could be green! We should have brought Grogu! It’s his favorite color!” Luke beamed at him as he approached.
“And yours,” Din acknowledged with a nervous smile. It was rapidly becoming his favorite color too, after silver.
“What is it?” Luke asked. “Fossilized seaweed or something?”
Din snorted. “What? How the hell did they let you graduate from Cal again?!”
“I wasn’t a science major,” Luke retorted. “So why don’t you explain, Professor Djarin?” He leered at Din and oh fuck. He had to bring up his favorite roleplay right now, right when there was a 50% chance he was about to ruin one of the best things that had ever happened to him.
Din pushed aside vivid memories of Luke dressed as a slutty schoolboy out of his head with extreme effort. “Ah..it’s olivine,” he said, suddenly nervous.  “Tiny specs of olivine that is created by the volcano on the island. It’s a dense mineral so it tends to accumulate on the shore rather than be swept into the sea like most other deposits…” His voice trailed off as he saw the moment when Luke suddenly realized why he’d been brought to this particular beach.
“Olivine aka peridot,” Luke said slowly. He let the last of the grains of sand fall from his hand as he moved to touch the small, slender peridot gem that was always around his neck on a smooth silver chain.
Din had asked Luke in the very beginning of their relationship why he always wore the green gem around his neck. Luke had explained that the peridot was the last gift from his grandfather, Qui-Gon.
“He told me he was originally going to give it to my dad’s future wife, because it was a family heirloom. But my biological father never really got along great with my grandfather, and dad and father weren’t able to legally marry until after grandfather died.  So he gave it to me. I don’t know why he didn’t just give it to Leia, but when he died, I put it on and never really took it off.  I’ve always loved the color. Peridots are the stones of compassion and I think that’s just really nice.”
As their relationship grew Din realized that the peridot gem was a perfect description of Luke himself. Compassionate to a fault but also vibrant and full of life. He was spiritual, creative and strong; all characteristics of the gemstone according to the hippie websites Luke liked to frequent.  So when they decided to return to Din’s hometown of Kona for a vacation, Din immediately thought of Papakōlea beach. Olivine was a common mineral on the islands--they liked to market them as “Hawaii’s Diamonds”.
So where else could he bring Luke to propose to him?
“I need to ask you something,” he began. He pulled Luke further along until they were in a spot where Din could see the green sand and the crystal clear blue ocean. Blue and green, the colors that reminded Din of Luke.  “The day we met, you gave me the greatest gift of my life by saving Grogu’s life.  You came in like a superhero, flying in on your stupid skateboard and grabbing him from the path of that car. That could have been the worst day of my life and instead it was the third most important day.”
Luke stared at him with bright eyes that sparkled with unshed tears. “The third?”
“Second one was the moment they said that Grogu could stay, that I could start the adoption process,” Din acknowledged.
Luke nodded. “And the first?” He whispered.
Din took a deep breath and sent another wild prayer to  Poli`ahu or Peli; whoever was listening and had got him this far.
“I’m hoping the first is right now.” He slowly reached for the ring box in his pocket and got down on one knee.  The sand was rough against his bare skin and he was shaking--but so was Luke. There were tears slowly falling down his face and he was looking at Din as if he was the sun god and not him.  “Luke Skywalker,” he said slowly as he opened the ring box, “Would you--”
“YES!” Luke blurted out.
“--You have to let me finish!” Din said with a laugh.
“You’re taking too long!” Luke grabbed at Din’s hands and pulled them to his chest. “Yes, yes a hundred times yes! Of course I’ll marry you! I thought we pretty much were already.”
Din laughed, his voice cracking. “I want it to be official--”
“Of course you do. Can’t take the fear of God out of a exmo like you.” The softness of Luke’s voice tempered the teasing words.
“Hey this is scared land,” Din said somewhat seriously, “on this part of the island, it belongs to the goddess Poli`ahu.”
“Well, then with the grace of ‘Polly-hue’, I say yes, Din. I’ll marry you.”  Din had only a second to frown at Luke’s butchering of the Hawaiian language before he was dragged to standing. He ditched the ring box on the sand so he could put the ring onto Luke’s finger. It was a silver band embedded with koa wood and olivine, made by a local company on the island.  It sparkled perfectly against the backdrop of the sand but Din had only seconds to admire it before he was dragged into a searing kiss by his fiancé.  He tangled his hands into Luke’s hair and let all the love and relief he’d been carrying on their short hike pour out of his mouth and into the other half of his soul.
When they finally parted and pulled away, the light caught the peridot on Luke’s neck and shone brightly, like the slender gem was alive and winking at him.

What are u writting at the moment ?
I love all of your fics , they way you use words is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing a part of you with us in every fic .
oh anon. i'm.... not actively writing anything at the moment. idk what's up with me, i try and i try and it's like.... not happening at all? idk where the motivation is gone. even my original projects, i feel completely blocked on. it sucks because i'm still on medical leave for a bit so i technically have so much time for it.... and yet! rip.
thank you for the kind compliment though!
here's a tiny list of projects i'd love to write/finish if i ever get my mojo back:
the blood of words: obvs this is lowkey kind of my biggest priority. i feel awful about leaving a wip up that hasn't been touched since 2019 so i really want to get it done. i've managed to write a fair bit of extra material for it last spring (about 20k?) but i lost steam and it's been untouched for a while now.
the 1930s spn deancas au i started plotting a while back: there's not enough historical aus in the spn fandom IMO and i just like thinking about dean in 1930s little outfits trying to solve some spn mysteries and meeting occult/ancient history/mythology professor cas who has a big secret along the way...... this has literally no outline/no plot/nothing except VIBES and maybe 4/5 paragraphs, but i'm really attached to the idea.
the mandalorian dinluke au i started a few weeks back: got almost 5k and it's a mafia/crime/undercover cop au thingie but still set in the star wars universe. it'll probably go nowhere lbr, but i'd love to finish it because i think the idea is kinda fun. also dinluke as a rarepair is so fucking enlightened i'm kind of obsessed with it ?
any of my original projects.... i've got like 2 ? 3? in development and i'm doing fuck all with them. at this rate, i'll never be published rip my dreams etc etc.
so yeah, got a few Ideas i'm fiddling with but no actual writing is going on.

77 and 84 for the fic mashup with our faves dinluke!!
Thanks, Anon!! Let's see...
77: In Vino Veritas and 84: Married to the Job
-- I'm picturing a modern AU for this one, one where Din and Luke know each other as acquaintances through mutual friends, and those friends decide to start a thing where every weekend, they get together and have fun, either a game night or maybe they start a DnD campaign, that would be fun! And both Din and Luke get roped into it by their individual friends-- maybe Boba and Cobb?-- and end up having fun together. Both Din and Luke are "married to their jobs" -- I picture Din as something in security or as a PA, and Luke as a teacher, maybe a history professor-- and it's been a while since either of them has been in a relationship.
But during these weekly get-togethers, they get to have fun and might drink a little more than is recommended, and end up growing pretty close. It all ends up with them confessing one night, quite drunk, their feelings for each other. I think Luke confesses and is extremely embarrassed, thinking Din can't return his affections, and doesn't come to game night for a few weeks. Din is sad but trying to hold it together, since he doesn't want to push Luke at all and thinks he must regret telling him. Eventually their friends make them both talk to each other and they end up working things out and start a relationship :)
thanks anon! these are always fun!!!

FMNS for the ask game!
[ask game]
F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.
The only scene that came to mind right away was this from "The Smuggler"
“Maker, you’re hot,” he said.
“Thank you,” Din said
I just think more people should interrupt their smut with Din being cringe
M: Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share?
There's always the Professor AU lol.
There's also my tiktok idea, where Luke is basically Brian D Hollis, and Han is one of those tiktok cooks who makes you ask "does he have sex with that meat?" And anyway, they're dating already, and mostly just goofing off on social media until they suddenly blow up.
Also ruminating on a new DinLuke friends to lovers modern au ...
N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?
Skysolo Twin swap AUs. I know they exist, but I would like more of them. And just generally anything mandocule. Also anything listed in the above answer.
S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist?
lmao I'm not even sure I know what a trope is anymore, fandom has run that word into the ground.
I will say I am always a sucker for Din taking off the helmet. I also love (esp with skysolo and dinluke) first time together/first time generally. I don't know if this is a trope, but it's a fetch I'm trying to make happen: characters getting good night sleeps.

He’s wearing that same strange combination of clothes as last night — black hoodie, black button-down, black slacks, glove on his left hand — Din feels crazy with how much he wants to touch him. The dorky way he wears his hair, the inner stillness that’s apparent even just sitting here in the empty break room, how his blue eyes stay locked on Din’s for longer than most people would be comfortable with.

@andthepeople​ said smart din with glasses and an old man sweater and my brain immediately barfed up a whole AU where Din is the countries leading expert on cults who always brings his kid to class, and Luke has just found out that apparently he has magical powers and also his dead (?) father used to be part of this ancient group called 'Jedi' so naturally, in an attempt to find out what the fuck is going on, he goes and sneaks into one of Din’s lectures - only problem is that a) the stuff Din teaches about the Jedi is all wrong and not at all what uncle Ben taught Luke and b) Luke is 110% sure that, even though Din doesn’t seem to believe in the force at all, the kid he has strapped to his chest is in fact just as force sensitive as Luke
