Summary
“First sign of trouble,” he murmured. “You can make the call, whatever might inspire it. We’ll end our quest and carry on two points richer, no harm done.”
She looked back at him -- at the earnest, honest expression that she’d come to recognize, come to believe despite how long it had taken her to warm up to its possibility -- and she bit the inside of her cheek.
“Fine--”
Ezra grinned.
“--But I still don’t trust her.”
“You don’t trust anybody,” he replied, heading toward the doorway, his grin turning to a smirk.
“I trust you,” she muttered.
Or: After the Green, Ezra and Cee take a job that feels a little too familiar and, of course, goes wrong in all of the ways it possibly could, leaving them fighting cave-ins, cracked helmets, and creatures that definitely aren't just channel rats.

Summary
astra inclinant, sed non obligant (the stars incline us, they do not bind us)
. . .
Of all the fights Joel has dragged his brother into, none of them have ever been worthy of Tommy’s loyalty, until this one.
“You don’t know what she’s been through, Tommy. She’s just a kid. She needs—“
To be held.
To know that she deserves to live.
To know that she’s setting the world right just by existing, just by breathing.
Tommy finds the words he can’t. “She needs people to love her, a safe place to grow up and do some healin’. I reckon you, me, and Maria can give her that.”
Or: the Part II where Ellie gets her chance at saving the world (or at least her little corner of it) and finds out just how loved she is along the way.

Summary
There was a body. Even far away, the smallness of it was clear. It had to be a kid. A little girl. Her face was turned over, hidden in the snow. From the opposite direction, there was a trail of bloody footprints, their petite size matching the smallness of the body.
It was a nauseating sight.
Tommy stared, his eyes made dark with gloom. “God, look, Joel,” He said, his eyes boring into the girl, her frame so small that it was nearly completely hidden in the snow. Only her hair moved, its snow-kissed edges spurred on by the breeze. “It’s just a kid.” There was mourning in his voice, an immediate assumption that the girl was dead.
Then she shivered.
"Christ, Tommy.” As quickly as he could, Joel climbed down from his saddle, and then quickly started towards the girl. “She’s still alive.”
TLDR// Instead of meeting in the Q.Z like the show, Ellie is alone until the aftermath of episode 8, where Joel finds her outside of Jackson, alnost frozen to death. There are a lot of kids in Jackson. He sees Sarah in all of them, but with her, it's even more obvious. He takes her in. AU mixed with post-ep 8 recovery.

Summary
"“It’s ok, baby girl,” he says in a breath as he shuts his eyes, trying to keep himself upright against a surge of heartache. He hears the words as if someone else has said them, like they didn’t leave his lips – but immediately feels the truth in it. The wall he’s tried to keep up between Ellie and Sarah, the nothing-but-bullshit line he’s drawn to try to somehow separate what they are to him is gone. There’s no more pretending. She’s his to take care of – that’s how she ended up here shaking and bleeding, after all, isn’t it?"
————————
Joel & Ellie straight up not having a good time. Picks up after Joel finds Ellie in Silver Lake. Another after David comfort fic for those of us who love ep 8 aftermath angst. Me trying to answer my burning questions - what happened next, and how did they survive??content warnings - David got farther than a wandering hand - s/a + violence + generally disturbing stuff

Summary
When the Mandalorian moves, your knees slightly bend in your body's preparation to go into a quick sprint, but before you can do that, he tosses binders at your feet.
“Put them on," his voice is ice cold.
You look down at the binders, then the Mandalorian, and repeat.
“No.”
His head tilts to the side, “No?”
“No.”
He switches the safety off on his blaster, which is insulting to you that he thought he’d need it on in the first place.
“I can bring you in warm, or I can bring you in cold.”
Starring into his visor with a defiant gaze, you swallow the weightless sensation roiling in your gut and ignore your heartbeat thrumming in your ears, “Neither.”
And with that, you run.
🟎🟎🟎🙮
You've been running from the Guild for too long. Always checking over your shoulder and never staying in one place for more than a few days. You'd rather die than get caught. When you think you've finally found somewhere safe enough to spend the night, a beskar-covered bounty hunter tries to put you in carbonite.

Summary
"Do you trust me?" Din yelled at you as you both ran toward the end of the landing strip, frantically avoiding blaster and speeder fire as you did.
"What?!" You screamed back. Din didn't elaborate, only grabbed at your hand and yanked you forward.
You and Din have a close brush with death and walk away waterlogged and concussed. Now you have to survive in the jungle until you find your way back to the ship.

Summary
Persuaded into picking up one last quarry on his way home, an exhausted Mandalorian is in no mood for you, but he slowly begins to think that things are not as they should be.
You’ve been on the run for so long and you don’t even know who from, but when you are captured by the bounty hunter, you think it’s all over.
What neither of you know is that your courses have been set to intersect and that what happens next will change the trajectory of your lives. But will you be able to overcome your trauma to find safety - and will the Mandolorian be able to forgive himself for the part he played in it?

Summary
Everyone loves the Alpha and Omega Fated Mates for Life troupe so, what if The Mandalorians were a society of Alphas, a dying race because your sisterhood of Omegas are becoming more and more rare by the day? You and Din were mated before you were born, your futures written in the stars–and that pissed you off, both of you. At least in the beginning. (This is my spite fic to prove ABO can be non-toxic--it updates on Sundays!)

Summary
“So how were you thinking of doing it?”
You wonder if he was sweating under all those layers as you allowed yourself the indulgence of really taking him in. He wears heavy black fabric under all of his armor. You wore light and flowy dresses and you always felt like it was too hot. You also wonder if he purposefully makes his voice lower, he must scream into a pillow or something to make it that raspy. You didn’t like how warm it suddenly got in here.
“Well I can’t just tell you my top secret plans, what will you give me in exchange?” You hated the way his helmet tilted to the side to mimic you.
“How about a walk through the gardens?”

Summary
“Please,” and if it were any other time he would hate the desperation that has leaked into his voice, “you don’t understand.” That’s my kid, he doesn’t add, the thought scraping him raw, unwilling to give voice to something that personal to fucking Marlene. He’d been fighting it since Kansas City, allowed thoughts of her as his kid in after Silver Lake, but then outside the hospital…
I’m supposed to protect her, and I’ve already failed her too many times. You can’t take her from me.
Please don’t take her from me.
“I do,” Marlene says softly, sounding pained. “Her mother was my best friend. I was there when she was born, Joel. I held her as a baby, watched her sneak out and get into trouble as she grew up. But I have a job to do.” There’s a moment of silence, tense hesitation, and Joel feels his chest crack in two before she even draws breath to continue. “And you’re too late - she’s already gone.”
(or, the fireflies decide not to jump straight to brain surgery, but they don't exactly want joel hanging around while they do their little experiments) (marlene is a goddamn liar)
