Summary
There's 1 in 70,000 people on the planet who have the gene needed to survive the Hail Mary's expedition. In that limited pool, 1 in maybe 1000 had the necessary skills needed for the mission — more dire still, even less people were willing to volunteer for what is essentially a suicide mission.
When an explosion killed not only their science officers but also their engineers, Eva Stratt makes the tough decision to put 2 people on the spacecraft that no one was expecting to be even be candidates.
One is a middle-school science teacher.
One is a convicted eco terrorist.

Summary
Having grudgingly settled on Tatooine for the foreseeable future, Maul resigns himself to the inevitability of a dull and dreary retirement as a distant neighbor to both Ben Kenobi and the supposed Chosen One. Lord Sidious is forever beyond his reach.
One day, a violent sandstorm sweeps across the desert. Unwilling to lose the last possible means of vengeance he has, Maul is forced to search for a lost Luke Skywalker at the side of his most hated rival.

Summary
Very clearly Luke decides that there will be no more pyres in the jungle. This may not be Endor, but he will not build a fire and watch this stranger burn out within his armor.
The war is over and he will save this man.
He reaches his living hand into the space under the man’s helmet and feels warm skin and a fluttering pulse of some sort. But there’s no way to see if he’s breathing through the thick cloth mail and armor, so Luke brings his other hand to meet the first and lifts away the helmet in a single swift movement.
The man locks dark eyes on Luke, sucks in breaths that sound like a dying animal, and just as Luke’s about to reassure him, to tell him that he’s going to help him, a gloved and armored hand snakes out and grasps his wrist.
“You've killed me,” he whispers to Luke.
(Or, an alternate first meeting. Luke is fresh from Endor and Force burned, just trying to heal. All Din knows is that his life has taken a sudden left turn. Set 4 months after ROTJ and 5 years before S1 Mandalorian.)

Summary
It's several months after season 2, and politics are shifting rapidly in the New Republic.
“One of the delegation’s sticking points in the treaty has been a desire to share risk between the New Republic and Mandalore. They don’t want to sign without an assurance. Apparently it’s traditional to do this... somewhat literally. I don’t get the sense that it’s universally desired, but,” she shrugs a little, “we’re all floundering here. Rebuilding a republic out of a dictatorship isn’t easy.”
“I’m not getting the problem here, Leia. So they want it all in writing?”
She lays it out for him, and Luke can’t say he didn’t ask for it. “They want someone from the New Republic to become the new Mand’alor’s consort. Essentially, they want a hostage.”Luke wants the New Republic to back and fund his plans for the new Jedi Order, Bo-Katan wants Mandalore to rise to its previous glory, Leia wants a system of governance that is functional, and Din wants a nap.
(Or, the arranged marriage fic I had no intention of writing.)

Summary
“You’re bleeding,” Luke murmured.
“I’m...maybe not fine.” Din conceded.
Luke gently held his face between his hands while giving Din a very bright, very angry smile. “You think?”

Or, Din is heavily concussed after that whole darktrooper thing, and it takes him a second to recognize his husband.
