Summary
Jayce finally makes a move to break the silence. “You-” his voice comes out as a croak, and he swallows. Tries again. “You really mean that?”
The incredulity to Jayce’s tone makes Viktor ache. He wants to rage, to unleash his ire upon those who have convinced Jayce that he is some sort of a burden, rather than the intelligent and competent young man that Viktor knows him to be. “When have I ever lied to you?” he responds simply.
The irrevocability to his words must be the thing to finally break Jayce. His expression crumples, and he tears his gaze away from Viktor, folding in on himself and burying his face into his knees even as his body stays angled toward Viktor’s. His shoulders begin to tremble ever so slightly.
Viktor’s veins are immediately awash in cold panic. He’s pushed too much, hasn’t he? He only wanted to assuage Jayce’s insecurities, not to … Gods, not to make him cry.
Jayce has issues with his self-worth. Viktor isn't going to let him suffer through them alone.

Summary
The young man turned his gaze to the tower window, staring longingly toward the horizon. The early morning sun had already begun to stream through, transforming his hair into a blazing, glowing gold, and a distant part of Din wondered what it would feel like to reach out and touch it.
“I want you to take me to the city,” the man finally said, turning resolutely back to Din. “Just for a day. Those are my terms.”
Din blinked. “That’s it?"
“That’s it.”

Summary
Din wonders when the Jedi became Skywalker, and when Skywalker became Luke, or when the lines between stranger and friend had blurred and left him standing in an unfamiliar ship, folding bare hands around a man he barely knew and feeling like his breath had been lost to the stars.
A Jedi and a Mandalorian face down the ashes of the Empire and learn what it means to rebuild a broken people.

Summary
Din noted the girl’s uniform hanging off her small frame, the oil and grease caked on her face, the callouses on her hands. “That’s no life for a kid.”
She shrugged. “It’s all I got.”
Din was at the tail end of a very long, difficult day. If he had any sense, he’d express his sympathy to the girl for her situation, pick up the bounty, and go back to his ship so he could claim the reward and finally get a good night’s sleep.
But apparently Din did not have any sense, if what he said next was any indication.
“Would you like to come with me?”
Or
What if Grogu wasn't the first foundling Din brought back to the covert?

oh, my talking bird by Edgebug

Summary
"Well," Grace says, reading over the monitor with Mary's full report, "everything looks good. I'm as healthy as a horse. A healthy horse," he adds, getting ahead of Rocky's inevitable logical objection to the phrase.
"Mm," Rocky hums, "no, Grace not as tall as horse. Hair is shorter, also."
"Are those--" Grace plants his hands on his hips. "Are those the main differences you see between me and a horse?"
(In which Grace has multiple crises, breaks his foot, gets his brain microwaved, learns to hate cherry tomatoes, and becomes a celebrity--not necessarily in that order)

past tense; in memoriam by jamais_vu0

Summary
“How far did he get?”
“Almost touched the fence,” Carl says.
“He was motivated,” Eva murmurs distantly. She is suddenly very tired.
“Past tense already?”
Eva flinches, feeling slapped in the face. No more coffees brought to her right as she starts to lag in the afternoon, no more bags of obnoxiously-colored candies hidden away in her pocket to slip to him, lest the vultures in the engineering department claim them all. No more staring at reports while he spins his chair around and talks about nothing, his voice soothing white noise to her after three years of hearing it practically nonstop. No more beers shared after a long day’s work, a brief respite before beginning another grueling day the next morning. It is all past tense now.
(eva stratt has just kidnapped her second-in-command. eva stratt has just lost her closest friend.)

Summary
It all starts with a bag.
Specifically, with a gift bag.
The bag does not belong on this ship. It looks completely out of place in its lush color, sitting in the middle of my otherwise nondescript room, just like all the others on this ship.
Inside, there’s lingerie. Women's lingerie. It’s just. There. Staring at me. Or maybe I’m staring at it. I don’t even know anymore.
“What, I don’t get a striptease?”
"Eva!"

Or, the one where Eva buys Grace a present. They discover some things only make sense when you find the right person to share them with.
