Summary
When a Jedi, dressed in black robes and a veil, arrived to rescue the Mandalorian and the friends that he had brought with him on the bridge of Gideon’s cruiser, Din believed he was prepared to let go of the Child he had grown attached to. But months of travelling alone, something that he once treasured and found peaceful, slowly filled his heart with anguish and despair.
Deeply missing his Child, Din travels to YavinIV, hoping to stay with the Jedi and watch Grogu’s training from afar, if only to make sure that he’s as well cared for as he would have been by the covert. Greeted by a man who speaks low and soft, every discernible feature hidden in many layers of clothes that Din surely believes mustn’t be comfortable, he is given permission to stay; this permission granted on two simple conditions. The Mandalorian must not leave after dark, and he mustn’t see the Jedi’s body without consent. Of all people, Din understands this feeling, having been brought up on rules similar to these.
Perhaps Mandalorians and Jedi are not so unalike, he wonders to himself. Meanwhile, Luke is discovering things just as strange and confusing within himself. Somehow more so than the carnivorous cravings he’d felt since he was young.Bookmarked by HelloWylan

Summary
Abruptly, Sam wonders how many people have put a friendly hand on Bucky in the last ninety-odd years. How many times did touch like this mean pain and suffering, instead of someone trying to take care of him? And it makes his heart ache, the thought of how much devastation and roughness Bucky’s been through, denied this kind of casual, compassionate touch that Sam doesn’t even think twice about offering.
Experimentally, he pulls his hand back. Bucky makes this low whining noise that makes Sam put his hand back immediately. And then he watches the way Bucky leans into it, eyelids fluttering like he’s almost falling asleep like this. Doesn’t even seem conscious of it, like he’s gone somewhere else in his head while Sam’s patching him up. And it’s – Sam doesn’t know what to think, doesn’t know what to feel. Because this is Bucky, and he’s showing such terrifying vulnerability, and Sam –
Sam can’t help but wonder if Bucky still expects pain every time someone touches him.
(Five times Sam realizes Bucky is touch-starved, and the one time he really does something about it.)
