We’re Working on that Grave Shift, Baby by sequeltolife

Summary
Din doesn't want to be Mand'alor. The Darksaber, that definitely does not whisper to him in the middle of the night, refuses to leave his hand. When Din is finally presented a chance to rid himself of it, promised to a Mandalorian he has never met yet it yearns for him, Din doesn't hesitate to make a deal.
That may lead to some problems. Din should have hesitated, considering that promise may or may not have come from the ghost of an ancient Mand'alor capable of wizardry.
Oh well, at least this cop is nice and helpful.
TLDR : Din doesn't read the fine print, gets flung through space and time, goes through puberty twice as a result, and crash lands at a pivotal point in Jaster Mereel's Journeyman Protector career. Jaster has thoughts about this. Maybe too many thoughts.

Summary
Nicky feels like he’s the only true human being in the room; he’s the only one shifting with discomfort and wrinkling his nose and feeling so sick at watching what’s going on. “Hey,” he says to the scientists, “Can’t you knock him out while you do that?”
“Why should we? We don’t have the budget for sedatives or pain killers.” One of the scientists says blandly, and that makes Nicky feel like he’s been shoved over an abyss. There should be empathy, or professional courtesy, or common decency, but there’s just a blank look of slight annoyance.
Instead of killing the doctor like he really wants to, Nicky pulls his silenced handgun from a pocket and shoots the victim in the head. “They’re immortal and I don’t get off on watching people writhe in pain. Even if drugs aren’t in the budget you can bet bullets are."

Summary
Nicolò di Genova was killed on one of the endless mornings of The Crusades, struck down by a scimitar. He woke again later that evening.
Yusuf al-Kaysani bled out hours later from wounds left by a sword. He woke again that next morning.
A person often meets his destiny on the road he chose to avoid it.
Alternatively, Nicky and Joe's second meeting was over 900 years too late. And neither one knows the other is immortal, or that they've already met.

Summary
“You know what kept me going, century after century?” Hob is angry enough, desperate enough, that his voice drops low, quiet. “Even when I had nothing?”
The music around them crests, waves crashing against the unyielding shores of time –
“Chimneys,” Morpheus answers, bland.
Oh, what a bastard.
--------------------
Or, dreams are memories, Hob reflects about life, and Morpheus learns a thing or two about what it means to be saved, and to be loved.
UPDATED: with art for chapters 1 and 4!
