Completed Works:
Worlds Apart | Rating: M | One-Shot | 5k+
Din Djarin/Luke Skywalker
Summary: Crack, “what if we sent Luke Skywalker into a dinluke AU”. Owing to a failed attempt at clairvoyance through the Force, Luke is sent into an alternative universe where everything is the same... except, there are two toothbrushes in his refresher and a Mandalorian in his bedroom.

Snowburn | Rating: Not Rated | One-Shot | 800
For Aristippus.
The Armorer/Ahsoka Tano
Summary: The first quality Ahsoka ever noticed about snow was an instinctual, vivid “cold”.
(It can be so cruel, and so devastatingly beautiful—but first and foremost, it’s cold.)
ART: maderilien
across the far away stars | Rating: Not Rated | One-Shot | 2k+
For Withercrown.
(Pre)Maul/Obi-Wan Kenobi, Maul & Anakin Skywalker
Summary: The Force always moves towards balance.
It gives and it takes, the sum of its actions in pursuit of equilibrium. There is no Light without the Dark. Without balance, there is only ever too much—and the scale tilts readily to either side.
Even in salvation, you might still find your doom.
(Or: the one in which Maul is trained as a Jedi, and the Force asks something in return).

Grogu & Luke Skywalker, Din Djarin & Grogu Summary: Post-TBOBF 1x06, Missing Scene. (Someone had to have helped Grogu put on his new shirt.)

For shulkrae.
Din Djarin/Luke Skywalker
Summary: From lukecyarika on tumblr: Dinluke sparring for the first time. Luke takes off his robe and Din sees his arms and starts sweating. Luke quickly disarms him and pins him down and Din is in love.“You think I’ll last long against your Jedi magic?”
(In which Din is distracted and underestimates his opponent.)

two clouds in outer space, we raised a storm | Rating: E | One-Shot | 5k+
Din Djarin/Luke Skywalker

Din Djarin/Luke Skywalker Summary: Prompt: have you considered: battle husbands
When Din slots in behind Luke on the battlefield, something clicks into place.
dune sea cowboys | Rating: E | One-Shot | 5k
Din Djarin/Luke Skywalker Summary: Crack, check tags for warnings. Din goes searching for information on the Jedi named Luke Skywalker. His lead takes him back to Tatooine and to a shady info broker in a dead-end farmer town who claims he has exactly what Din is looking for.
slight headache | Rating: Not Rated | One-Shot | 2k+
inspired by art by blvckhvrt
Din Djarin/Luke Skywalker Summary: Luke rubs away at his smarting forehead and the slight bruise already darkening the suntanned skin there, and Din would probably have more sense to say his apologies if he wasn’t busy trying to stop his racing mind from repeating “oh shit oh fuck did we just kiss?”
or: just the usual dumb tomfoolery which is Din Djarin bending backwards and reaching across the galaxy to insist that his crush on Jedi Master Luke Skywalker does not exist until it literally hits him in the face

Darasuum | Rating: Not Rated | 2/? | 15k+
Din Djarin/Luke Skywalker
Summary: In hopes of uncovering the truth behind a long-forgotten peace treaty between the Jedi and their time-old enemies, Dr Luke Skywalker joins his mentor and friend, Ben Kenobi, on an excavation of what might turn out to be the archaeological discovery of a lifetime: the lost city of Keldabe.
However, in the depths of the ancient city, something that has lain dormant for a very long time begins to stir. In the ruins of old betrayals, the last true ruler of Mandalore rouses from his eternal slumber.

Interesting how the majority of MiziSua's fond memories are during the day and full of light.
While pivotal moments for IvanTill are associated with night and darkness.
The light they're depicted in as pairings really highlights the circumstances of their childhoods and the tone of their respective backgrounds.
Mizi is one of, if not the best, treated humans in Anakt Garden and these positive conditions reflect in her positive attitude/disposition.
Ivan, Sua, and Luka are all treated like commodities by their owners. Sua was basically a dress-up doll. Luka and Ivan are status symbols/cash cows. Their wants and needs as human beings are ignored in favor of their owners' desires, but they at least seem to regularly be given the basics requirements (food/hygiene, etc) and maybe even superficially spoiled for their seeming cooperation with their alien captors. They are likely to follow along with their owners' wishes in order to avoid possible punishment.
Till, on the other hand, is actively abused in pretty much every way possible. He's also used as a test subject by the aliens. He thrashes at the chains that bind him and we constantly see the consequences he endures for his rebellious actions.
MiziSua's relationship is framed as pretty lighthearted in the flashbacks despite humanity's present situation, mainly because half the pairing (Mizi) is unaware of how bad things actually are. She's been shielded from the reality of it by everyone around her. No one wanted to dim her light. But, of course, once she lost Sua (her God, her universe), she discovered how harsh this world truly is.
IvanTill, on the other hand, both have always seen this world for what it is. They just cope with it in very different ways. Ivan, by keeping his head down, following orders to the alien's faces, then disobeying secretly behind their backs. Till, by pushing back violently and fighting aggressively against the injustices he's faced with.
This also sort of explains why Ivan and Till both have unrequited feelings for the people that they do. Till represents hope to Ivan through his rebellious nature, his fighting spirit, that Ivan lacks. Mizi represents hope to Till with her positivity/optimism since all of his own has faded away through his years of suffering. They both are admired traits that they wish they had themselves, that they treasure in the other person.
It will be interesting to see if Till's crush on Mizi will survive if they are ever reunited, because Mizi is no longer that blindly optimistic girl he used to have feelings for.
I've just realized that Sua and Ivan had the same very weird type of jealousy:
- Sua was not jealous of Till even though Till liked Mizi, instead, Sua turned to be upset with Mizi 'cause Mizi was so silly goofy that she didn't realize Till's feelings for her though it was as plain as crystal.
- And in the same way, Ivan was not jealous of Mizi although Mizi won Till's affection. He turned to be upset with Sua instead because Sua's feelings was reciprocated and her affection for Mizi was both-sided while his was not, even though he considered that they were alike, that they were the same kind of person.
Also on the contrary, we can see that Ivan is very close to Mizi in some offical side-arts/side-stories (you can find them on Vivinos X account). Mizi talked to Ivan first and asked him for an explanation when she heard something she didn't understand, and she even asked Ivan to carry her on his back. Mizi and Ivan interaction was far closer than Mizi and Till. Actually, Till's relationship with Mizi was like one-sided, and he just followed behind Mizi to know more about her but did not dare to come closer or tried to strike up a proper conversation.

His talent is what now? manifesting seeing this 30 YEAR OLD do the splits and break something and die in round 7 *please please please please please please*
(The fact that his likes & dislikes are still blank....the hell are you so mysterious for Luka...)
you know what, thought about it some more and i think the age difference between luka and hyuna makes sense for his character... the juxtaposition of luka being the oldest character and veteran contestant, while his child self is portrayed as a small sickly boy who hangs out with younger children... (3 years is not that much now that they're adults but it is quite a significant gap for children) portraying luka as a golden boy and dominant performer on stage while showing he's actually quite immature both physically and emotionally...
hyuna's situation is pretty true to life too, befriending an older boy and thinking he's harmless, just a soft boy, maybe he just has trouble making friends his own age... and then one day he makes a move on you. when you reject him, he snaps and gets scary and you realize you've underestimated him... like obviously luka was just a child and a troubled individual but so often in real life are young girls expected to be more mature than they actually are, and take the burden of dealing with all the bs when subjected to an emotionally stunted boy's obsession.... shes jsut like me fr....
