Summary
In some families, the past doesn’t vanish—it lingers like a cigarette burn on celluloid. You came from one of those. Your grandfather’s name is still on soundstages. Your mother won awards she never picked up. You didn’t just inherit money, but myth.
You grew up in rooms curated by people who no longer existed, in houses unchanged since the sixties. You were taught not to need. Still, you did. Spoiled, maybe—but never cruel.
Harry Castillo’s wealth was different...newer, cleaner, all balance sheets and deal terms. His mother built their firm; his father and brother followed. He lived in a Tribeca penthouse so pristine it looked like a set waiting for actors.
He’d just ended things with Lucy Mason, who worked at Adore Matchmaking. It was mutual, more or less. She told him to call, if he ever got lonely in the way men like him sometimes do.
You didn’t know about any of that. You were busy with your own life. You didn’t know your sister had sent in forms to a matchmaking service with your photo and a profile listing all your icks.
Not until they told you...there was a match.
And his name was Harry.

Summary
Harry Castillo had it all—money, power, a penthouse with a view. But none of it mattered the moment Lucy, the only woman he ever let his guard down for, left him for a broke ass waiter in a studio apartment with one bathroom. Now, at 54, he’s bitter and convinced that love is just a cruel joke for idiots who don’t know better.
Then—he meets her.
A stranger on the Met steps. Unbothered. Unimpressed. Not fawning over his wealth, not offering him sympathy, not treating him like he’s anyone special.
And for the first time in months, Harry stops thinking about Lucy.
For the first time in years, he wants to stay.
And that? That might just piss him off more than anything else.
But if there’s one thing Harry Castillo never does, it’s walk away from a challenge.
Even if that challenge comes in the form of a woman who seems determined not to give a damn about him.

Summary
You knew him on Ran's station, but that was a long time ago. When you find the Mandalorian again and ask for his help on a job, you are reminded that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
This story consists of two parts woven together, and will skip back and forth between the present-day timeline, set after the end of season two and before the events of BoBF, and the past timeline, set pre-canon, when the Mandalorian lived and worked off of Ran's station as a hired gun and pilot.
Completed.
Part II in progress.If you want to read this story in Chronological order, start here

Summary
Her hairs are standing at the back of her neck, her skin prickles all over.
She dresses quickly, her heart now pounding harder in her chest. Maybe she’s having a heart attack.
When she exits the laundry room dressed someone grabs her harshly, an arm wrapping around her neck. She’s pushed into the wall hard and she whimpers. Her body is caged in by someone much larger and stronger, her back against someone’s chest. She tries to claw at the arm pinning her by the throat, knowing the person could strangle her easily.
“I thought I was goin’ crazy.”
She thinks her entire world ends. It’s the man from the store, who’s helped her more than anyone ever has. And this is how she’s been treating him. Repaying by breaking into his home, stealing his food, using his personal space as her own.
She thinks now the devil wants to collect.
Or: Joel takes in a stray.

Summary
“I’ve changed my mind.”
His brows furrow in curiosity for a brief moment, yet the question follows swiftly. “About what?”
His brown eyes lock onto yours, almost staring into your soul. The breath you take feels like it might catch in your throat, and you notice the muscles in your back tense like a bow. And you let it go, ready to face every possible consequence.
“Bearing an heir.”
