Summary
Mando’s as good as promised he’s going to stick around, and Cobb would love to believe him. He really would. But he knows better. Mando’s going to leave. Maybe not soon, maybe not for a few years even, but eventually. Everyone leaves on Tatooine, whether they want to or not. Mando’s already practised at it. He’d rather not give him more reason to. Cobb’s big enough to acknowledge that he’s a cocky son of a gundark most of the time, but he isn’t delusional enough to think whatever is growing between them is sprouting fast enough to keep Mando tethered to Mos Pelgo. Not when Grogu’s gonna have a gravity well of his own soon enough, one leading far away from Tatooine.
But Mando is here for now. Cobb can eke out some happiness from whatever time they have. It might be hard, but Cobb is a miner, he's used to hard work and hard graft with little reward, progress etched painstakingly into the earth until suddenly a treasure glints beneath your hands.
(He can't help but think about the glint of the sun off of Mando's armour.)
Mando left, and then he came back. Cobb's still dealing with it.

Summary
Bato felt crazy, turned on and too warm and far too horny for seven in the evening. Hakoda’s hand swept under his shirt and rucked it up, a hot palm rubbing at the rangy muscles of his back, and Bato wanted the shirt gone. His skin was a little tacky with the sweat that seemed to accumulate during travel regardless of the actual temperature but Hakoda didn’t seem to mind, mouth dragging back to meet his own. Their hips were moving now and they were too old to get off like this, but as desperate as he was Bato didn’t want to have to move, instead settling into an uneven rhythm, breathing messily into each other’s mouths.
Part two of 'Bato and Hakoda don't deal well with being apart', with some cute family interactions but mostly a lot of reunion sex.

Summary
Day 4 - Love Languages
When the wind howls outside and the children are asleep there is no room for words. When in the middle of battle, shouts and weapons clashing all around them, there is no quiet for words. When enemy ships are on the horizon or enemy guards are pulling them apart to different prisons there is no time for words.

4 times Bato fails to propose to Hakoda and 1 time it sticks by Pretentious_Procrastinator

Summary
Bato is getting slightly desperate. He’s been wracking his brain trying to remember what he’s done to offend the spirits, because he must’ve done something. There’s no other explanation for the giant cosmic joke being played on him. Every time he tries to propose to Hakoda – and that’s including the times he hadn’t even planned anything, had just been hit by a moment when it had been all he could think of - they get interrupted.

Summary
Bato and Hakoda rarely travelled for work, with Kya the one taking fairly regular trips, mostly to Kyoshi Island, but sometimes further afield. Having Bato move in full-time made child-care much easier, although as Sokka and Katara got older and more independent that became less important. When Kya was away, as much as she missed everyone, she very much enjoyed her time alone. Despite her bubbly nature, she was an introvert at heart, and liked to sprawl out in bed without fear of kicking him or Hakoda. Both he and Hakoda were fully understanding, but for the two of them a lifetime of living in each other’s pockets was only exacerbated by spending so much time together. They still spent time apart of course – work and hobbies and a slightly differing circle of friends – but on the whole Bato would admit they were rather…clingy.
Bato is away and finds himself missing Hakoda more than he thought he would. An exploration of their life in a modern world, and a phone call that is a thinly veiled excuse to have Bato and Hakoda be both sickeningly sweet and call each other dickhead.

Summary
Lyonel had been good to him, Dunk knew. There were men who said one thing in their cups and another in the sober light of day, but Lyonel was always friendly. He welcomed Dunk (and Egg) in his pavilion by day and night. After knowing him for barely an hour, he insisted Dunk call him by his name, because there was no need for sers and my lords among friends.
Were they still friends? Dunk hoped so. Such hopes did not stop his thoughts from turning crude. When he wasn't worrying about whether he would be welcome, he was imagining Lyonel seducing sellswords and sailors. There's always been talk about him. Had Lyonel danced with those men, too? Or was that only a game he played? Teasing and hinting but never trespassing. Perhaps he never intended anything with Dunk, or only hoped and offered by implication. Dunk didn't know what he preferred.
He worried and dreamed, until he caught his first glimpse of Storm's End.
Dunk and Egg talk about marriage, visit old friends, and consider sending a letter to Summerhall.

Summary
A tourney stand looms up ahead out of the mist, a knight on a black stallion rides ahead of her and suddenly she knows, with a deep, clear certainty what her purpose is, here. She has read of this field, this day. She knows the ill luck that followed it, the hope of a fractured realm extinguished with a mace. She urges Valour on, draws abreast with the knight and he turns to her. A black shield, a red dragon. He raises his visor. “You ride for the Hedge Knight?” His voice echoes strangely in the helmet. He is more handsome than she expected. She nods. “I would know your name, ser.”
“I am a true knight, your Grace.” she says, and passes the Prince, knowing she must answer to him at some point, or else disappear, as fast as she is able.
Ser Brienne of Tarth, Commander of the Kingsguard, is sent by her King on a ride one misty morning in full tourney armour. Sent ninety years back, to the point at which some say it all went wrong, she has a rare and precious chance to make things right. Even if it costs her her foolish heart.

Summary
‘If you value me, you will send the boy here.’
It was madness to send such a missive to his Serenity. That was the only excuse for such an ultimatum. Arbelan who knew his response to such matters so well after their years of marriage.
Her decades of relegation. Not for lack of love, but for lack of children.

Summary
“I’m not going to go easy on you, you know,” Kip says, standing and slipping his tshirt over his head.
Scott’s brain glitches at the sight of Kip’s bare torso, muscled and glistening with post-workout sweat.
He shakes it off. “Gimme your worst, Grady.”
Or: Under his smoothie-boy demeanour, Kip is stronger than he looks. Scott likes it.
