Summary
Luke looks up from his computer at the knock on his office door, and blinks in surprise when he sees Mando there, looking… unsure.
“Can I talk to you?”
“Of course.” Luke says, leaning back in his chair. Mando looks extremely pained as he opens his mouth.
“Luke.” He says, looking as if it took every inch of his self discipline to drag out the single syllable of Luke’s name, “- I need your help.”
“Try saying it like you aren’t getting a lobotomy.”
“Grogu wants to celebrate Christmas this year.” Mando says, evenly. “But I don’t know the first thing about Christmas.”
Whatever Luke was expecting it wasn’t that.
“Uh. What?”
“I didn’t celebrate Christmas as a kid." Mando looks increasingly frantic, “-you said you had perfect Christmases, what am I supposed to do?”
-
Din Djarin has never celebrated Christmas before in his life, and yet has an extremely precocious kid who wants to.
Faced with the humiliation of exposing his failures as a parent to his family and friends, he instead turns to the one person whose opinion of him probably can’t get any lower…. and vice versa.
He's hoping for a Christmas miracle, but he might get more than he bargained for.Bookmarked by RoyalEmber

Summary
All Luke can hear is the drip, drip, drip of the water falling from his soaking wet self, as he walks on the hardwood floor towards the desk in the hall.
Luke eyes the keys hanging behind the counter. No other guests.
He rings the bell and the silence is broken.
Luke hears a door fly open, and loud footsteps echo through the hall, like a stampede of elephants.
“Who the hell are you?!”
“Luke Skywalker. Nice to meet you.”
“What the hell are you doing in here?!”
Luke snorts.
“Checking in.”
“Checking-?”
“Into your B&B?” Luke holds up a dusty pamphlet.
“-we’re closed.”
If anyone asks, Luke Skywalker would tell them that he’s on a mission to see every lighthouse on the east coast. It’s more or less the truth, afterall.
His latest target is a lighthouse that’s on the grounds of an old Bed & Breakfast; where it’s reclusive proprietor is not very pleased to have a guest. That is, until he realises that Luke is also a teacher and can tutor his son, who for some unknown reason, cannot go into town.
Luke agrees with the arrangement, intent on unraveling every mystery he can… while hiding some secrets of his own. -

Din is taking one last long haul. He ends up with an extra guest.

It was technically supposed to be one long fic but since this was for the Dinluke mini bang it got separated into smaller fics. Only the first fic is the mini bang fic.

Summary
“Sorry,” Luke grinds his heel into his eye socket. He’s so tired. “I’m not following. You’re ready for… what exactly?”
“To be together,” Din replies, a tad impatiently, as though Luke is being thick for not realizing he’s continuing a conversation they started twelve standard months ago.

Summary
He had to be there for Cobb on his big day. They were all that was left of their days in the sun, chatting rubbish and acting like fools, and he’d be damned if his childhood best friend stood up there alone on his wedding day.
Sitting next to a Tired Hot Dad on his flight might just be what he needs to get through this.
