modern au but i don’t explain the context behind this image (twitter) [ID in next reblog]
I’m so fucking mad right now. I found the perfect fanfiction. It was a slowburn, 190k words, 25 chapters, beautiful AU, and sounded so enticing. It was Dinluke btw.
I open it up, and the relationship is so fucking toxic and felt predatory. Author has the potential to make a beautiful fanfiction, but they just had to write what they wrote.
Amnesia AU
Everything is perfect. Din is Mand'alor and Luke is his consort. They are incredibly popular and their rule prosperous, of course not without difficulty, Mandalore is thriving. Children are being adopted left right and centre, force sensitive ones attend Luke's school in the capital, the mandalorian people are united and their shrinking numbers growing once more.
The people love their Mand'alor and adore his consort. They represent mandalorian ideals and, most of all, they are ridiculously in love.
On paper, everything is perfect, no one should be displeased with how the culture has adapted and grown. But some are. Some are seething in the dark waiting for a plan and a moment to strike. They believe this Mand'alor and the whole of Mandalore are poisoned by the Jedi's presence, and ruined by the acceptance of different interpretations of the Resolnare. It makes a mockery of their history and traditions.
These people have been brought together and organised by Clan Vizla (minus Paz whom they disowned long ago). Until now they had no idea how to fix the world, that was, until someone mentioned a group of women who were once nightsisters and could perform interesting things with the Force.
They have nothing but contempt for Luke whom they blame for their ruined lives, and agree to help - for a price and certain conditions. Along side money they want their pick of Force sensitive children to train and indoctrinate. Despite being mandalorians their desire to get rid of Din and Luke overpowers their desire to protect children. A deal is struck.
They decide to make Din and Luke forget eachother, to revert them to who they were before they ever met. And they make the people forget Din and Luke, forget the people who helped them prosper. The head of the Vizla clan takes the throne, and the council is filled with members of the group.
Din finds himself on a random planet. Luke on another. Both are used to this, after all they've forgotten the life they made together in Mandalore, they've forgotten they used to wake up next to their husband, they've forgotten they had a home.
Din still has Grogu, he resigns himself that no Jedi is coming to help them and once again begins, well continues, his life as a bounty hunter. The world has forgotten Din Djarin, Mand'alor the Uniter, but remembers Mando the best bounty hunter money can buy.
The world has forgotten Luke Skywalker-Djarin, consort to the Mand'alor and Master of the New Jedi Order, but remembers Luke Skywalker last Jedi and Hero of the Rebellion.
But love and the force are stronger than the usperpers realised, or could ever know.On a planet, in a ruin and exhausted Din Djarin meets Luke Skywalker once again.
There is about the Jedi. There is something about the Mandolorian. They run into some, what they thought were, deactivated droids. They fight side by side. It's beautiful. It's leathal. Their eyes meet as the battle ends and the universe stops.
They agree to live on the planet for a few months, so Luke can train Grogu to be safe with his powers so he can stay with his father.
They cook, they laugh, they spar together and watch one another tend to Grogu's every whim. And once again, Din and Luke fall in love. But, its harder this time, they forgotten the life they built, a life made possible by helping unite the mandalorian people and revive the planet. Now they feel the approach of their separation, once Grogu is confident enough they'll go their separate ways, perhaps forever.
Meanwhile, Mandalore is in crisis. Ruling is hard, and keeping the mandolorians from in fighting even harder.
There are rumours of a coup, lead by Paz, Bo-Katan and Cara - who are unable to shake the feeling that something that once was is no more and that somehow they, despite their wild differences, are a team united under something.
Knowing they will loose a trial by combat against Bo-Katan, one of the members flees with the darksaber. They come across an unimportant planet and hide in an unimportant village. But it is not as unimportant as it seems. Strolling through the market they spot, to their horror, a mandalorian, a jedi, and a tiny green child.
Despite their regression to their past selves they have found eachother yet again. They inform the council, who order their deaths.
They attack the, no longer, family. The Darksaber is the only option to destroy them. But threatening Din Djarins loved ones, even if he is refusing to acknowledge it, is the most foolish thing anyone can attempt.
They loose the Darksaber. Once again Din becomes Mand'alor.
Paz, who was sent to find the missing council member and bring them back to Mandalore for Bo to fight, arrives to see his Vod standing with the saber in hand and a Jedi cradling his child.
He tells them everything. They return to Mandalore.
For many, at Din's appearance, the spell is broken. With the mist cleared they rejoice for their Mand'alor and consort.
Din and Luke, who were target most intensely, still do not remember, simply assuming the people are celebrating due to tradition and the removal of a tyrannical government.
Luke convinces Din to stay. Din convinces Luke to Stay.
Asoka Tano visits Mandalore, Bo insists she can restore her Mand'alor and his consort, even if they insist nothing is wrong. They're happy. They're safe to fall, to be in love without fear of parting.
Sensing the twisting of their memories through the Force Asoka promises "I can return you to your former lives." But Luke and Din are looking at eachother with such open adoration and, as they lean their foreheads against one another's while cradling their child, Asoka decides to leave it. They deserve to fall in love and rediscover peace and home once again.
And they do.
Alright time to rewrite the post I sent you that I remember because I must share thoughts
Short story:
Luke and Leia don't know much about their mom
They run into someone who knew her
Who knows where some of her old stuff was
It's just a trunk full of Naboo royal wear
Luke and Leia decided to divide the dresses
This starts being what they wear to republic events
This was done exclusively because I need Luke and Leia both wearing padmes gowns
Din is happy Luke found and likes his moms gowns
He does not like the fact that Luke is now getting even more attention from admirers
He especially hates it at republic events
He and Han team up to chase of other people admiring the twins
Leia knows this is happening
But it doesn't effect her to much so she doesn't care
Luke has no clue
Chewie and grogu are standing on the side laughing at the antics together
This didn't go through the first time apparently
But I had thoughts on the matter so I rewrote what I could
-🐢
My dear, darling tortoise, sorry this took so long to answer! After being at my family's for Christmas and my stupid car breaking I've been practically dead to the world 💀 I hope you enjoy this though! I love this idea so much! Leia and Luke would look SO GOOD it causes their husbands physical pain.
Luke and Leia wanted to connect with their mother. They know about their father, for better or worse, but Padme? They felt that she was constantly just out of reach. But as they looked at themselves in the mirror of, what had once been, their mother's room Looked at the way the chiffon fell around their bodies, the way the gems sparkled, the way the colours matched them perfectly. They felt a connection. They felt her.
The next morning an old Palace worker, who had known Padme, found them fast asleep on the enormous bed, surrounded by clothes and the smell of their mother's perfume.
-------
After that emotional trip to Naboo the twins had completely cleared out Padme's closet and beauty supplies. And so began their tradition of wearing their mother's garments to all important galas, balls, celebrations and so on.
Now Din and Han were happy for their spouses, they really were. After all the trauma they had gone through with their birth father, not to mention loosing their homes (and an arm) to said birth father, they deserved to have some joy from their parentage. BUT!
BUT!....Did they have to look so fucking incredible doing it?!
Every time the twins strode into a hall (fashionably late of course, the dramatic-entrance-Skywalker-gene was strong), dressed in the most beautiful clothes the galaxy had to offer.
Clothes that both clung to them, high lighting their soft, elegant bodies; but, and lay loose, giving them an ethereal, magical quality as it flowed around their every move. (And if Luke sometimes used the Force to have the dresses billow just a little more..well, who was to know- Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan knew.)
Not to mention the flawless make up, done with their mother's products, she would want them to be used (especially to bring a room full of the most powerful and important people in the galaxy to their knees). And jewellery which brought even more magic to their appearance, as they reflected the abundance of decorative lights.
It was frankly unfair.
Not only did they have to spend the whole event unable to touch their partners in the way they wanted too, and spend hours waiting for the 'acceptable and appropriate' time to drag their spouses to their bed (if they made it that far...). But, even worse, they had to deal with a room full of people who were as desperate as them to touch and pull away the twins.
These people were shameless, becoming even more outrageous as the nights wore on.
The only "good" (depending whether or not you asked Boba Fett) to come from this was that Din and Han had formed a strong bond. A bond that can only be formed through mutual understanding of not being allowed to devour your spouse while having to run around threatening anyone who who dares come close to either one of the twins.
It was exhausting and fustrating. And tonight was no exception.
Din knew he was, technically supposed to be, on Leia duty. Some old senator from Naboo was trying to use the fact she was wearing her mother's style to suggest she should align her self more intimately with Naboo. It was disrespectful and gross to watch, but Leia was using her endless lexicon of diplomatic answers (laced with threats) to deter him. Din was ready to step in at a moments notice - "general organa I have some questions about Mandalore" ...well maybe not that phrasing..but he'd think of something....right now he was too preoccupied with the far corner of the room.
Luke was perched on a window sill, his gown hanging low, revealing his shoulders, delicious collarbones and highlighting his neck (which was disappointingly unblemished despite Din's best efforts...damn jedi.) He was surrounded by dignitaries. A young handsome man was leaning it unnecessarily close. Where the fuck was Han??? This was- did that fucker just stoke Luke's arm????
"-rgana, I would love to continue you this conversation outside im afraid its far to loud and hot in here."
Shit. Uh...excuse..
"General, if I may step in, I have questions about the- this years harvest on Mandalore. Agricultural questions, which need your immediate input."
Despite her polite smile, Din could see her roll her eyes as she lead them away.
"Agriculture? Mandalore is currently barren Din!" She fixed him with a classic Leia Look, "how is Han better at this than you."
Din blushed, maybe that hadn't been the smartest excuse but he was distracted Leia stupid people are caressing your brother!
"Well not right now. Luke is being caressed."
"I think you'll find it's more than that now."
Din snapped his head round.
The man was pulling Luke on to the dance floor, placing his stupid hand on Luke's perfect waist. The blonde just smiled and launched into the dance, completely unaware of the man's intent.
"Stars, bit he is oblivious." Leia sighed, "what's the point of your and Han's stupid 'bootyguard' [not Din's ideal choice of name but Han had insisted] system"
"There's no syste-"
Leia ignored him "if Luke's getting felt up by the most annoying Coruscant senator?"
"Han was supposed to be on Luke duty!"
On the dance floor Luke was actually having fun, the man (who ever he was - Luke never read Leia's summaries of the guests, it didn't involve him so why bother when he could be gardening or make cookies with Grogu) was friendly and a good dancer; which was a better outcome than he had expected when he saw him approach.
The man spun and pulled him back flawlessly, accidentally misplacing his hand further down his back.
When he was spun out again he suddenly found himself in Han's arms.
"Uh? Hi?"
Han twirled them across the dance floor, wow Leia was an incredible teacher...it was a shame she didn't want to be a jedi with him.
"You okay squirt?"
Luke furrowed his brow, "yeah- Why wouldn't I be?"
"That sleemo had his hand practically on your ass!"
"That was an accident after the spin!" He could feel the red blossom on his cheeks.
"Oh Luke. I know you're not as naive as that - I saw you flirt and try to fuck your way round most of the handsome pilots on Yavin and Hoth."
Luke made an indignant noise, trying to make a protest but his face was burning.
"Although you are as oblivious as fuck" Han added with a wink as he spun Luke away.
Suddenly, Luke was met with a broad expanse of beskar.
"That blush looks good on you Cyar'ika" he leaned closer, "but, I should be the only one making you blush like that" he growled into Luke's ear.
The blonde felt his knees go weak, as heat pooled in his stomach.
Din huffed qn unfairly attractive laugh, before adding in the same deep voice, "please tell me we can leave."
Luke grabbed him tighter, swallowing "I think now is a perfectly acceptable time to leave."
The two of them giggled as they "snuck" out of the hall, hand in hand. They barely made it back to their room before Din threw off his helmet, pulling Luke into a deep kill filled with promises.
Han watched the couple throw subtlety to the wind and run away. He turned to Leia,
"No, Han. We're not leaving."
Han pouted, trying to use his best puppy eyes - they always worked for Luke...never for him, but it couldn't hurt to keep trying.
She pushed his face away, looking over at where the grand entrance, (really Luke the main doors???), had just swung shut. She sighed. At least one of them had self-control and decorum. But, really Luke? You couldn't stay for longer that half an hour.

All children play dress up in their parents clothes; but no one did it as well and as glamorously as them - They are Padme's children after all, it's in their blood.
In the vein of those Din and Luke meet on Tatooine before they live the Star Wars?
I propose that Din is the ~sweetheart from back home story Luke tells people if they ask about that kind of thing, you know?
Nineteen year-old Luke who gets tossed into the deep end whe he joins the Rebellion, right?
Farm boy from Tatooine in a starfighter squadron filled with people like Wedge and Janson.
And all the hurry up and wait that happens, and a card game that springs up between missions. Some late night somewhere - Hoth, maybe - and it was just a little too much to toss and turn all night in the bunks, maybe tale a stroll through base. Stop by the hangar because someone’s always there - weather lie this you can bet someone’s fixing something or adapting it to make it work in these conditons, and anyway, anyway.
Hell of a lot better than being stuck with your own thoughts you know backwards and front.

Most Mandalorians don't have the most comprehensive understanding of the force, but after Luke becomes Prince Consort, the Mand'alor's advisors quickly figure out its uses.
Advisor: Your Highness, the leaders of the trade and merchant guilds that border Hutt space will be coming to treat with you.
Paz: Fuck those guys, are we planning on fucking their slaving asses over?
Advisor: Yes sirs.
Din: Excellent, what's next?
Advisor: Sir, we would like to request The Bad Vibes Detector for the meeting, to weed out lies and omissions.
Din: No.
Bo-Katan: Do you want to fuck those little shits over or not?
Din: *deep sigh*
Din: *leaning into his comm* Sweetie, can you come here please? We need a wizard to scare some assholes.
Purely self-indulgent AU where no one dies and Chirrut officiates Luke and Din's wedding and decades later Luke officiates Finn and Poe's.
What I should have drawn on the kiss day but late🥲
i like to imagine this scene is just luke giving grogu the beskar shirt while din is off handling manda'lor business before coming home to his jedi trophywife and 50 year old toddler
Me: *sobbing over the mandolorian season 2 finale*
Tumblr: here's some Luke/Din shipping to make you feel better
Me: ( ; _ ; ) ( ; ‿ ; )
My angsty ass brain: maybe that's why Luke was so jaded during the new movies. Something horrible happened and he lost his husband-
Me: shUT THE HELL YOUR MOUTH
You fools. You do not yet know the pain I can inflict.
I guess a lot of people interpret this idea as Din dying at Ben's hands when he burned down the school. That's a wonderfully painful mental image. That's not what I had in mind.
Something that truley pissed me off about the last jedi is how Luke pulled his lightsaber in ANY capacity on his nephew. Like, you expect me to believe that Luke Skywalker, the kid who looked Darth "death Incarnate" Vader in the eye and showed unyielding love and kindness, would react to seeing darkness in his young nephew by instinctively going for his weapon? No. That doesn't make any sense.
Not unless Luke had already become jaded to the galaxy.
So lets say that Din dies before Ben becomes Kylo Ren. Maybe it was a bounty hunt gone wrong. Maybe someone came after Din because of his relationship to Luke and the jedi school. Maybe it was some mandalorian who wanted the throne and the dark saber. Maybe it was a sith looking for to get revenge on Luke over Palpatine. No matter how it happens, Luke is left devastated. He has already lost so many people he loved - his aunt and uncle, Obi wan, Yoda, his father, every squad mate who died in the war - losing his husband is just too much.
Griped in the agony of loss, Luke finds himself thinking that maybe the old jedi order had a point with their rules forbidding jedi from having attachments. If he was more like the jedi order - if he didn't have attachments, he wouldn't be in so much despair. If he followed the teachings of the old order closer, he wouldn't currently feel like he was being torn apart again and again.
And so, that's what he does.
Luke withdrawals from all of his relationships, Including his beloved nephew. Ben had always loved both of his uncles, enthralled by Din's tales of mandalorian lore and Luke's teachings of the force. Now, still reeling from his first encounter with loss of a loved one, Ben feels like he's loosing both of his uncles.
(Maybe that's how the darkness starts to grow in Ben's heart. He's grieving, confused by his uncle's changes, and so very afraid of losing another person he cares about. And now that Luke has retreated into himself, Ben doesn't have anyone to teach him how handle these emotions to keep them from becoming entangled in the dark side of the force.)
It all comes to a head one night when Luke comes to check in on Ben and senses that growing darkness in his heart. Luke reacts - not how he would have before Din's death, not like how he faced down his father. He responds how a jedi of the order would have responded.
When Ben wakes up to see Luke draw his lightsaber, Ben doesn't recognize the man before him. For Ben, this is his fear come true; he really did loose both of his uncles the day Din died.
Ben burns the school and all the broken memories of family it represents to the ground, and flees.
And Luke is left in the ashes, realizing that he too can't recognize the man in his own reflection. And he has no one to blame but himself.
Bonus pain: imagine what all of this going down is like from Grogu's perspective, and how this would affect him. I'm so so so sorry-

pls reblog hehe
some details below:
din's frog tie
luke's hair thingies AND ALSO A LITTLE BIT OF BROWN FROM ANAKIN
modern setting where every once in awhile, luke drags leia into doing a tiktok video with him and every time, leia refuses to post it, saying it's embarrassing and that "they better stay in your drafts or else i will get violent."
luke obeys because, hello? leia doesn't threaten, she promises, and luke, blessed with his mother's brains (thank god), isn't dumb enough to go against her, no matter how many views their blindfolded dance challenge might get. luke thinks they may hit a million or two for their in perfect sync dougie, but with leia's words hanging over his head, luke begrudgingly sends the video to his drafts.
this time, however, is different because luke also dragged han into it and now both his sister and her boyfriend are standing in front of the phone camera. luke tells them it's a new trend, that they only have to follow along with the lyrics and do nothing else, simple as that.
only, apparently han didn't get it quick enough because when luke's phone blasts "fellas grab your lady if your lady fine" han stayed still, awkward and unsure of what to do, and resulting in leia getting him good in the arm because "why didn't you grab me?"
"did the song tell me to???"
"yes!"
din, on the other hand, understood perfectly. maybe a little perfectly because he sprang up from where he was watching from the couch, thinking it's a rehearsal before the real thing, and football tackled luke to the floor, flying in front of the camera and nearly taking it with them.
funnily enough, that's the only video leia ever allowed luke to post and, unfunnily enough, the last one luke will ever post of din because his comment section looked like something straight from a war zone with too many "🥵🥵🥵" and "ME NEXT DADDY" proclamations to be considered just jokes.
