Letters from a Mandalorian

Summary:

I love that SWTOR has letters and that we get one sent to us from our romanced character when your OC gets frozen in Carbonite, but I’ve always wondered - surely they’d send more?

5 years is a long time for them to be without you, so what would they sound like? I wanted to capture the longing and loss. They may be cringey, but I love, love. This is the first time I’ve wrote anything like this, so it may not be perfect.

These letters are from Torian Cadera, to my OC Abern. Translations for Mando’a words are at the end.

Chapter 1: I’m sorry

Chapter Text

I’m not one for talking about things. Shae tries with me, we all know she’s better at talking battle than anything else. But when it comes to talking about you, my heart holds so many words that my mouth can never say. Because if I do, it’s real right? It’s not some dream, you really are gone.

I wasn’t prepared to lose you on that day, should I have been? Mandalorians should always fight every battle like it’s their last, but I thought we had forever.

Eparavur takisit - I’m sorry.

I’m sorry for not following you into Marr’s ship. 

I’m sorry for leaving you alone. 

I’m sorry I wasn’t there. 

Why is love never enough to save us?

Torian.
