FIC: Haat'Mand'alor be Yaim'ol ~ Star Wars ~ Obi-Wan/Jaster ~ Mature ~ Chapter 4/10

Title: Haat'Mand'alor be Yaim'ol
Fandom: Star Wars
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Mature
Pairing: Obi-Wan Kenobi/Jaster Mereel
Warnings: Time travel, canon-typical violence, fix-it (apparently), not everyone dies/some live, the Kaminoans are the worst, Jaster is the Mand'alor we deserve, character death, the clones deserve better, Jaster has 3 million grandkids, mental manipulation, Mandalorian culture, Mandalorian morality, an excessive amount of murder (of Kaminoans), Jedi culture respected, Jango needs a hug, Rex needs a hug, Fox needs a hug, EVERYONE GETS A HUG (except the Kaminoans), asexual Jango, nonbinary clones, trans clones, polyamory mention, disabled characters, happy ending
Summary: Jaster Mereel doesn't die on Korda VI, but is instead thrust forward thirty years to Kamino.

A/N: Wherein Jaster and Obi-Wan finally get the chance to sort out their mutual attraction, and Jango reacts approximately as you would expect. Also, Dooku shows up.

Reminder that any sex scenes will be fade-to-black. I'm not writing them, but people are welcome to write their own versions and link back here, if something inspires.

Also, since it has come up in a few reviews, now, re:Anakin's actions on Tatooine: I don't believe it's Obi-Wan's job to stop Anakin from committing genocide. He is old enough to know better, and sending Obi-Wan in like an avenging knight—given Shmi's certain death (a reminder that it is AotC!canon that the Tuskens had already had her for a month; there is nothing, at this point, that anyone can do to save her) and Anakin's own feelings of being constantly held back (also AotC!canon)—is more likely to make the situation worse. Moreover, Obi-Wan's message from Geonosis (after doing some snooping around) comes in as Anakin is returning with Shmi's body (potentially a little after? How long did R2 wait to bring them the message?); timing-wise, in this fic, by the time Jango returns to Kamino (he made it nearly the whole way to Geonosis, then flew back; Geonosis and Tatooine look like they're in the same sector of space, on the galactic map, so we can assume travel time is similar to/from Kamino), it is already too late for Obi-Wan to make it to Tatooine and stop Anakin.
Also, Obi-Wan has his own mission to attend to. In this fic, that mission went from hunting the bounty hunter who attempted to kill the person currently in his padawan's care (whose trail went cold, because Obi-Wan didn't manage to tag Slave I with a tracker), to liaising with the newly-alive Mand'alor and learning about and safeguarding this army of 3 million souls, which supposedly belong to the Jedi Order. He has more important things to focus on than serving as Anakin's moral compass and impulse control. Give the man a fucking break.
