“You… You remind of him. A bit.”

[duchess-of-mandalore]

Just a couple of pretty boys in their beskar who are probably missing, presumed lost but should show up in Sundari in Mando Season 4 and give Bo-Katan something to smile about ❤️

The Mandalorian S3: *is happening*

Fenn Rau:

So, since Fenn Rau wasn't in The Mandalorian, I have no choice but to believe that he and Bo-Katan got into a fight, and he broke up with quit on her, and is now in vacation mode

He refuses to return unless Bo-Katan says she's sorry, and that he was right. Which, being Bo, she never will

So now, he's sitting on a beach, ghosting Axe Woves

A master list of just a bunch of Kryzes (and a little bit of other things)

I recently finished “More Than Blood,” the sequel to my ridiculously expansive Obitine AU “She Said the Word.” I may be taking a break from fic writing for a little while, but I’ve been thinking about organizing all my titles into a master list to make finding certain things easier. Below is a full list of all my writing, broke down into AU, characters, and/or ships.

Here’s a key to help streamline the process if you’re looking for a particular thing:

Author’s Favorite = *

BoFenn = ^

Beautiful Trash, aka BoPre = +

Bo being sad about Satine/sad in general = $

My beloved, complicated duo, Bo and Korkie = &

The New Republic/Mandalorian Era Bo/BoDin = %

She Said the Word AU

An alternative universe where, when it is time for Obi-Wan to leave Mandalore as a padawan, Satine says the word- stay. So, he does. And the universe changes, yet stays the time. 

I will list these in chronological order as best I can. Since the one shots almost all overlap SSTW, I will include what chapter to read through prior to reading the one shot to avoid spoilers.

She Said the Word (68 chapters, 253,008 words) - In one universe, Jedi padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi is not asked to stay by the love of his life, Duchess Satine Kryze. We all know how that story goes. In another, she said the word. How is the galaxy effected when the great Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi never existed? What does a galaxy torn to pieces look like with family man/consort to the Mandalorian Duchess Obi-Wan Kenobi in it?

Bright Light of a New Day (one shot, 780 words. Best read after Chapter 1) -  Obi-Wan Kenobi reflects on the birth of his son. Written for Obitine Week 2021

Let Go (one shot, 3250 words. Best read after Chapter 4) -  Anakin Skywalker, just shy of his thirteen birthday, travels to Jedha with Obi-Wan and their guide, Quinlan Vos. While there, Anakin seeks out his kyber crystal for his lightsaber, and learns a valuable lesson.

Everything You Need (one shot, 3783 words. Best read after Chapter 8) -  On the cusp of his 13th birthday, Korkie Kryze-Kenobi makes the trip to Jedha to find his kyber crystal. While there, he learns he possesses everything he'll ever really need.

Who Will Keep Me Safe?+ (one shot, 5496 words. This runs concurrently from the time of Obitine’s year on the run through chapter 19. Best read after chapter 19 to avoid spoilers in the main story) -  When Bo-Katan is all but abandoned by her Clan in the middle of a war zone, she is taken in by a dangerous group led by a brutal man. 

Gone Soft (one shot, 2251 words. Best read after Chapter 30) -  Bo-Katan begins to truly appreciate the family she's been missing. Written for Bo-Katan Week 2022

Honor Bound^ (one shot, 1327 words. This reads a bit like a flashback and can realistically be read at any point. It will probably hit the hardest if read sometime between Chapters 39 and 45, especially after 45).  Bo-Katan Kryze and Fenn Rau face the cruel realities of war and duty, and struggle to come to terms with what it means for their young love. 

Orbit* (one shot, 3432 words. This was written as a “deleted scene” and takes place roughly during Chapter 46. It is best either read around that time OR, if you want to avoid spoilers that really aren’t spoilers- you know what’s coming, I'm sure- read it at the end of SSTW, or at least after Chapter 61) -  "He was fairly certain he was a satellite trapped in her gravitational pull, his orbit slowly degrading until one day, and soon, he would crash into her, certain to make a mess of them both."  

More Than Blood (25 chapters, 143,996 words) - A sequel to “She Said the Word.”  Eight years after the actions of Mandalore prompted the end of the Clone Wars; the planet, its people, and the ruling Clan Kryze are learning how to deal with their new role as a prominent voice in the Republic. Thrust into a leadership role in a galaxy wide initiative, while also being everyone's favorite planet to love or hate, has its challenges and benefits, and Clan Kryze must work together to navigate them, all while dealing with the personal trials of a growing and maturing family.

Deep Roots (multi chapter, ongoing) - Post “More Than Blood” anthology of one shots.

Canon(ish) Obitine

A list of one shots written to fit, more or less, into canon, centering around Obitine. These are fics with actual interaction OR the focus is on them and their thoughts for each other. I have a lot of fics tagged Obitine, but they’re really more Satine and Korkie centric.

Turmoil* (871 words) - Obi-Wan Kebobi brings a variety of turmoil into Satine Kryze's life the first time they see each other again after over fifteen years apart. And she's not quite sure what to make of some of it.

A Note (453 words) -  Satine Kryze considers how to send Obi-Wan Kenobi some vital news. Written for Obitine Week 2021

Damn Fool (526 words) -  Satine Kryze and Obi-Wan Kenobi reflect on their first impressions. Written for Obitine Week 2021

Shared Grief (762 words) -  Obi-Wan Kenobi and Satine Kryze reflect after the death of Qui-Gon Jinn. Written for Obitine Week 2021

Just One More (1650 words) -  Satine Kryze comes to terms with decisions she needs to make as her year with her Jedi protectors comes to a close. Written for Obitine Week 2021

Pretend (441 words) -  Obi-Wan Kenobi and Satine Kryze barely escape with their lives from Pre Vizsla and his Death Watch commandos. Now they take a quiet lull to regroup.

A Moment of Levity (1813 words) -  It's been six weeks since Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi left Mandalore with the young Duchess Satine. Tired of listening to his apprentice and the Duchess bicker, Qui-Gon sends them off to enjoy the latest village's summer festival.

Damn That Man (2164 words) -  When Duchess Satine Kryze finds out that Obi-wan Kenobi is in fact NOT dead, despite having attended his funeral, she is left feeling angered and betrayed. Will she and Obi-wan be able to move past the lies forced on those closest to him for the sake of his mission? (Fun fact: this is my first ever attempt to write Satine and got me hooked on her).

Canon(ish) Satine

Here is where to find one shots of Satine without Obi-Wan trying to hog her limelight. Some have significant undertones of Obitine (some less so, but I think it’s hard to be Satine and not have him at the back of your mind, even a little). A lot are focused on her and Korkie. 

Life Without Regret (1133 words) - Satine has no regrets in how she is changing Mandalore for the better. But that doesn't mean she is without regret. Written for Satine Week 2022

Two Martinis (196 words) -  A young Satine attends her first senate gala on Coruscant with a trusted friend. Written for Satine Week 2022

Peace For The Children* (1254 words) -  Two moments in Satine Kryze's life bookend why peace and pacifism are vital parts of her ideology. Written for Satine Week 2022

Water the Seeds of Hope*$ (1424 words) -  A short biography of the late Duchess Satine Kryze is published anonymously in the age of the Empire, and risks watering the seeds of rebellion on Mandalore and the galaxy at large. Written for Satine Week 2022

Ner Ad’ika* (605 words) -  Satine Kryze prepares Korkie for his long trip away from her and reflects on what it means for them to be family. Written for Obitine Week 2021

Reunion* (1072 words) -  Satine Kryze welcomes her adopted baby boy into her home. Companion piece to “Ner Ad’ika” and written for Obitine Week 2021

Canon(ish) Bo-Katan

Writing Bo-Katan, particularly TCW and post TCW Bo-Katan, is a particular favorite pastime of mine. I am enthralled by her complicated nature and the trauma, grief, and anger that motivate her, especially in the Empire era. There are some fairly rough, traumatic moments in some of these fics, so I will note when tags should be carefully minded. Most of these are one shots, save for one.

Recite My Regrets* (880 words) -  Claiming the Darksaber forces Bo-Katan to face her many mistakes, and how they all tie back to the ancient weapon.

Bait^& (3 chapters, 7257 words) - Mandalore is lost, and along with it, Bo-Katan Kryze and Fenn Rau. OR, how a silly crack headcanon on why Bo-Katan seems to never age turned into a serious and angsty fic.

Yet still there is hope*& (1266 words) -  In the wake of destroying the Empire's killer weapon, the Duchess, and accepting the darksaber, Bo-Katan receives two very unexpected pieces of news. (Note: this truly is a particular favorite of mine and just now re-reading it made me cry. Again).

Intention*&^$ (1469 words) -  Shortly after taking up the Darksaber, in the middle of a bloody battle, Bo-Katan Kryze faces a decision she had hoped not to face.

Weak+ (1550 words) -  Bo-Katan Kryze will do a lot of terrible things for Death Watch, but she finds a line she just can't cross. And worries she may pay the ultimate price when she refuses to cross it. Mind the tags.

Sisters’ Lament*$^& (1929 words) -  Bo-Katan finds herself thrown right back into her grief and guilt over Satine's death when she and Fenn Rau stumble across yet another insensitively named weapon.

Gamble+ (558 words) -  Two small moments in Bo-Katan and Pre's complex relationship.

Promises, Promises$ (1636 words) -  Bo-Katan is always amazed at her sister's willingness to forgive. Written for Bo-Katan Week 2022

Bite your tongue until you bleed+ (1256 words) -  On the eve of storming Nal Hutta, Bo-Katan voices her concerns with the path Death Watch is taking. Written for Bo-Katan Week 2022. Mind the tags.

The Stories Our Scars Tell*^$ (1512 words) -  Bo-Katan has many scars- on her body and heart. Written for Bo-Katan Week 2022

No Matter What$& (1935 words) -  Birthday wishes from Bo-Katan to Satine. Written for Bo-Katan Week 2022

Hopes Up*^+ (3167 words) -  The chances of Bo-Katan getting pregnant are low, but never zero. Written for Bo-Katan Week 2022. Mind the tags.

Jealous+ (1374 words) -  Bo-Katan contends with emotions she doesn't quite fully understand in her relationship with Pre Vizsla.

Keeping Company with Ghosts$% (1908 words) -  After too many years of death and destruction, the weight of Bo-Katan's grief, guilt, and anger send her into self exile in her family's ancestral home.

Dormant$% (1894 words) -  After meeting the strange little child accompanying the Mandalorian in too shiny beskar, Bo-Katan reflects on paths not taken.

Worthy$% (9436 words) - Bo-Katan seeks out Din Djarin and Grogu after they abruptly leave Mandalore.

Other Things

A handful of fics that either don’t quite fit anywhere above because of the perspective they’re told from, or they are just completely different. 

Burn Bright* (1198 words) - Leia takes a moment to herself to reflect on her loss after the destruction of the Death Star.

Best Kept Secret& (1383 words) - Korkie Kryze takes a moment to reflect on one of the galaxy's best kept secrets. Written for Bo-Katan Week 2022

Liability+ (1768 words) -  Pre Vizsla is a practiced hand at knowing just what to say to each of the Kryze sisters to keep them just where he wants them.

Blame the Jedi (1173 words) -  When chaos ensues after the arrival of the Jedi to Mandalore, Captain Tol'ket isn't sure he wants the man around the Duchess. Written for Obitine Week 2021

What Must Be Done (unfinished AU long fic) -  Duchess Satine Kryze survives Maul's attack and witnesses the rise of the Empire while once again rebuilding her home, this time with the help of her long lost sister, and the son that she calls "nephew." Along the way, she meets an unlikely ally of sorts, and finds herself questioning everything in the name of Mandalore's preservation.

3 Mandos and a Baby AU: The One Where Bo-Katan Accidentally Adopts a Child

So, while the Scooby Gang was handling Mandalorian affairs the Clone Wars kick off.

Listen, killing Pre Vizsla and installing a 16 year old as the head of a whole sector takes a lot of focus and they all just kinda forgot about their local Sith Lord for a minute. Satine’s kept in power as Jorad’alor, because Korkie loves and respects his mom aunt, and also cause the New Mando acceptance for his rule is kinda predicated on that.

So Korkie involves them in the Clone Wars on the side of the Republic because “Jaster and 99 want me to save their grandsons/brothers”. If he starts secretly sending out baruurs to cut out the clones chips well, the Republic doesn’t need to know. And if he’s giving all clones Mandalorian citizenship well, the Republic can go jump in a Rancor pit.

This boy has no tolerance for slavery of any kind, and in his speech to his councilors Bo-Katan is reminded of another, older Korkie, passionately defending his choice to blow another Hutt slave processing camp sky high. She can’t help but be proud, and a little bit sad. What good would that Korkie had done had he not kept running into the fires that night, determined to save every Mando’ad he could?

I’m going to say Aq Vetina is a colony world just outside of Mandalorian Space and nominally under the authority of a Core world. Unfortunately for Aq Vetina, that Core world is corrupt as fuck/friendly with the galaxy’s creepiest old man. It gets attacked and out ride the mighty Mandalorians, off to save the day!

It ends up being a joint project between the Protectors and the Nite Owls, because Korkie declared it so (Myles may or may not have gotten Korkie in on the bofenn shipping. Adonai just stares menacingly from the corner). The Children of the Watch seemed to be the ones coolest with having an actual child as their king and did not protest when he sent them to guard Kamino.

Anyway, Bo and Fenn spend the whole fight making sarcastic comments and trying their best to one up each other, as one does now that they’ve completed the most therapeutic action of all, killing an abusive domestic terrorist. Anyway, it gets down to the last few Super Battle Droids and Bo hears crying from a storm cellar.

Anyway, ten minutes later Bo has a young Din Djarin strapped to her back and a deep sense of disgruntlement. Her final rival for the Darksaber, bane of her existence, and lord of all that’s annoying is currently an adorable five year old sucking on a piece of candied muja fruit Fenn gave him and sobbing into her hair.

Once the mourning little boy cries himself to sleep Bo fills Fenn in on her history with Mand’alor Djarin and his frog son. Fenn thinks this is hysterical, and laughs so hard he almost wakes up the ad’ika.

This is a theme that’s repeated amongst the time travelers, with the exception of Ursa. She actually does laugh so loud it wakes up baby Din.

Anyway, Bo-Katan is adamant that she is not adopting this kid. She’s not! The fact that she’s acting parental is just coincidence! Sure, she’s feeding the kid and clothing the kid and letting him seek affection and assurance from her, but that’s normal when dealing with a traumatized ad’ika. Try finding a Mando’ad who wouldn’t treat a traumatized orphan that way. (Fenn’s rebuttal to this is “Find one who wouldn’t adopt a traumatized orphan” and Bo elbows him in the ribs)

The whole time they’re in Sundari after that (Keldabe’s still being rebuilt) baby Din just follows after her like trouble follows R2-D2. Satine puts baby Din up in the family apartments, because Satine’s still pissed about the whole coup thing and also because she has a great many years of older sister teasing to make up for. (And maybe, in some part of her soul, Satine is glad that clan Kryze is growing again. It used to be a great clan, with dozens of members before the Wars and the bombing of Kalevala’s dome).

Korkie just flat out calls Din his cousin. Whenever people visit the palace and question who the new kid is Korkie tells them it’s his Auntie Bo’s kid. Bo kinda regrets giving a literal teenager near-absolute power over their people. Her nephew just gives her unimpressed looks and mentions that she got the armorer to start making Din beskar out of her Great Aunt’s old kit, and by giving this kid the family beskar she’s just adopting him without the formal declaration. Then he does that weird thing where he laughs at nothing (he’s laughing at Adonai’s excitement over new grandchildren).

Anyway, after a few weeks of this Fenn goes to adopt baby Din and Bo-Katan and he get super into it about who this kid’s buir is. Things suddenly get quiet and when they do finally come down an hour later they’ve agreed on shared custody. No one mentions what they were doing up there, and no one wants to.

Well, except for Myles and Tarre, but no one listens to them much. Except Adonai and Jaster, but that’s only so they know when the face-punching should commence.

WE NEED FENN RAU IN THE MANDALORIAN 3.

[kanerallels]

15 & 16 for the fanfic reader's ask game?

15: What rarepair you think has a lot of potential. Oooh probably Bo-Katan x Fenn Rau. I know it's a bit obscure, but @accidental-spice and I came up with this whole backstory for them and I just like the idea, okay?

16: What tags do you search first when entering a fandom? I honestly don't know. Usually it's just the fandom name first, then some of the individual characters, I think?

Fan fic ask game!

[sassygirl579]

So I’m writing a thing......

@mandogab was wishing for some Bo-Katan/Fenn Rau content--and since I made a reference to them in my last chapter of “The Lost Get Found”, I thought I would actually write some stuff out for continuity purposes--so here’s a snippet of what I have so far--should end up as a oneshot.

******

“All right, my darling-if the bleeding gets more severe, or the pain gets unbearable even with meds, come back and see me.  Otherwise, time and rest will be your best bet for a full recovery.

“Thank you, Nula,” Bo-Katan said, trying not to wince as she stood.  “Rest will be difficult under current circumstances, but I’ll do my best.”

“I know you will, sweetheart,” the older woman replied, wrapping her arms around Bo in a comforting hug before placing a kiss on her cheek.  "But while the title of Mand’alor is yours and yours alone, that doesn’t mean the job itself has to be.  I’m sure, among others, that handsome Protector waiting for you outside will be glad to assist you in any way needed,” Nula said with a raised eyebrow and a smug smile very much like Ursa’s.
