Title: All the Souls Deserve a Chance
Fandom: Star Wars
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Teen
Pairing: Jango Fett/Obi-Wan Kenobi
Warnings: Asexual!Jango, Everyone Lives/No One Dies (except Palpafucker, he dead), good parent Jango, jedi families, Force-sensitive clones
Summary: When Palpatine dies unexpectedly a year after the invasion of Naboo, the jedi must scramble to pick up the pieces of a grand plan now in shambles. Can Obi-Wan, and his newly-discovered padawan-brother Feemor, be the key to healing the old wound between the Jedi Order and Mand'alor Jango Fett?

A/N: For day 7 of JangObi Week, the prompt is happy ending. I also gave myself a challenge to write only ace!Jango for this week.
Look, there was absolutely zero chance of me letting Palpafucker survive for a 'happy ending' prompt. (Not that I'm usually inclined to let him survive. Seriously, fuck that guy. And not in any way that would be fun for him. Why do I always get the urge to replay Molag Bal's questline from Skyrim when I think a variation on that line?)

Apparently, I'm dragging my boy Feemor into today's fic. For those unfamiliar with him, he's a one-off Legends comic's character who was Qui-Gon's padawan before Xanatos (he of Jedi Apprentice fame). I've built a pretty extensive backstory for him in my Make a Brand New End series, but you don't need to be familiar with that for this. His current padawan learner, Wangui, also makes an appearance. She's an OC, but all you really need to know about her is she's precious and deserves the galaxy. (Shut up, do not judge my love for Feemor's lineage.) Aliche13 did fanart of her over on tumblr.
Rael Averross, from Master & Apprentice gets a mention, but doesn't make an actual appearance. (I usually ignore his existence entirely, as I didn't much care for that book, and still haven't listened to Dooku: Jedi Lost, but the turn the story took required I at least acknowledge he exists.)

Mando'a is hover-text enabled, with translations in the separate glossary post. Some blocks of conversation that are had in Mando'a, are bolded and written in English, partially to save me the effort of translation, partially to save you all the effort of dealing with entire conversations that you have to find the translation for.

Sorry for the lateness in posting this. But, given how few people interact on LJ/DW, and my own schedule, posting to these two sites is not among my priorities. If you want to see more timely content here, INTERACT.

Title: Open Up My Mind
Fandom: Star Wars
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Mature
Pairing: Jango Fett/Obi-Wan Kenobi
Warnings: Asexual!Jango, trans!Obi-Wan, trans!clones, the Kaminoans suck, mental manipulations, allusions to canon slavery, allusions to canon drug use
Summary: Before Jango Fett can flee Kamino and the jedi stalking his steps, he stops to protect some of the clones. In joining his defence, Obi-Wan proves himself worthy of Jango's trust.

A/N: For day 5 of JangObi Week, the prompt is competence kink, with the art/secondary prompt of rain. I also gave myself a challenge to write only ace!Jango for this week, although, this is from Obi-Wan's PoV, so that isn't particularly obvious.
The idea my muse handed me for this day involved trans clones, and Obi stepped in and insisted he also be trans; everything is queer and we are living. That said, there is the implication of transphobia—really, it's just the Kaminoans' everything—but the presumed comment isn't on-screen.

There's a part that takes place in Jango's head, which I wrote when I was super tired; if it reads funky, we'll call it purposeful. (Related: this fic didn't get a reread, because I ran out of time, and my next block of free time is tomorrow night. So.)

Allusions made to Jango's enslavement and being forced to work with spice (&, presumably, having to go through a withdrawal) from Jango Fett: Open Seasons, as well as Obi-Wan's enslavement in Jedi Apprentice.

Mando'a should mostly be translated in the surrounding text, or be otherwise commonly enough used in the fandom that most should recognise them, but I've added hover-text for the words not immediately translated, and everything is in the separate glossary, for those who prefer/require that manner.

Title: We'll Be Good in Another Life
Fandom: Star Wars
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Mature
Pairings: Jango Fett/Obi-Wan Kenobi, Din Djarin/Boba Fett
Warnings: Asexual!Jango, Asexual!Boba, two Bobas (oh no), time travel, Jango's issues with jedi, internalised clonephobia, Jango is actually a good dad, little bit of hurt/lotta comfort, relationship struggles, pro-jedi (although Jango has some opinions)
Summary: The fight between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jango Fett on Kamino is ended by the appearance of two new Mandalorians, who claim to be from the future.

A/N: For day 2 of JangObi Week, the prompt is time travel. I also gave myself a challenge to write only ace!Jango for this week. (&, since no one can stop me, Boba is also ace.)

There I was, getting out of the bath, and this idea just...slammed me upside the head and wouldn't shut up. (To the point that it's fucking massive, wtf, muse?) So.
Spoiler warnings for season 2 of The Mandalorian, with some minor changes to the end of The Rescue (idk, Fennec called Boba soon as they'd taken the bridge and he returned in time to turn the dark troopers floating in space into so much scrap, so no appearance by mysterious jedi figures to save the party's bacon, maybe because, for some reason, Grogu failed to reach anyone on Tython? Which means Din is still looking for a teacher for Grogu).

Mando'a either has hover-text translations (with translations in the glossary, for those who need/prefer that method), or, since both of our PoV characters are fluent, are in English, but bolded. Given the nature of Mando'a, all gendered pronouns in the translated Mando'a are written as gender neutral.

Title: Only You Now
Fandom: Star Wars
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Teen
Pairing: Jango Fett/Obi-Wan Kenobi
Warnings: Asexual!Jango, some hurt/lots of comfort, Obi-Wan dodging medical, AU, non-binary clones, established relationship, mentioned mind manipulations
Summary: Jango pays a visit and cuddles with a sleepy Obi-Wan.

A/N: For day 1 of JangObi Week, which I wasn't going to do, because 'enemies to lovers' wasn't sparking anything (which wasn't also covered by another day's prompt), and then we got the secondary prompts, and today is 'cuddling'. Which, I mean, who wouldn't want some cuddling?
I gave myself a challenge to write only ace!Jango for this week, which also fed into my interest in the cuddling prompt. (It's not obvious in this one that Jango's ace, but that's where my head was for it.)

Mando'a should be largely clarified via context clues/common enough in the fandom to be familiar to most readers, but I've added hover-text and put translations in a separate post that includes the Mando'a for all the JangObi Week fics, for those who prefer/require that manner.

Title: The Perfect Date
Fandom: Harry Potter
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: General
Pairing: Harry Potter/Salazar Slytherin
Warnings: AU, Harry is a mess, age difference
Summary: Harry wants his first official date with Salazar to be perfect.

A/N: Every winter season, I send out cards to anyone willing to give me their address, and I decided three winters ago to start adding fic to the cards. This year's prompt was coffeeshop.

Title: Retire to Coffee
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Teen
Pairing: Edward Elric & Roy Mustang
Warnings: AU, Ed's potty mouth
Summary: Ed returns to Central City to find that Mustang has quit the military and opened a...coffee shop?

A/N: Every winter season, I send out cards to anyone willing to give me their address, and I decided two winters ago to start adding fic to the cards. This year's prompt was coffeeshop.

No specific canon this is based on, especially since no version of canon!Roy would quit the military. ^^;
This was intended as pre-slash, but can be read as platonic, and has been marked as such.

Title: Freedom and Wonder
Fandom: Doctor Who/Harry Potter
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: General
Pairing: Doctor 10/Harry Potter
Summary: The Doctor and Harry stop for a coffee break on an alien space station. (Or, well, as close to coffee as they can find.)

A/N: Every winter season, I send out cards to anyone willing to give me their address, and I decided three winters ago to start adding fic to the cards. This year's prompt was coffeeshop.

The idea for this ficlet is what led to me picking the coffeeshop prompt.

Title: The Soot Gremlin and the Bastard Prince
Fandom: Harry Potter
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Teen
Pairing: Harry Potter/Tom Riddle
Warnings: Alternate Universe, child abuse, beatings, homophobia, references to character death
Summary: Harry is forced to live as a servant to his unpleasant uncle and aunt, while Tom is a bastard who's only in line for the throne because there's no one else. When the king decides to throw a ball, can the two find their freedom in each other?

A/N: Inspired by my putting on the Brandy Cinderella because I couldn't sleep and didn't have the energy for anything else. I may or may not regret this.

There was a minor bit of uncertainty about who Harry's fairy godparent would be. Hopefully everyone likes who I picked.

Many thanks to Shara and my sister, who beta'd for me and weren't too ridiculously excited about me writing HP again. XP
