The Help You Need (The Love You Deserve)
subtlehysteria
Summary:
Luke Skywalker could not have predicted the troubles taking on a student of his own could bring about, nor the strange and mysterious Mandalorian who, despite his gruff exterior, was a loving and doting father.
As Luke attempts to build up the Jedi Order anew he also begins to befriend and get to know the Mandalorian and soon realises that they have more in common than he first thought.
Or...
Luke allows Din and Grogu to remain in contact and ends up getting far more than he bargained for.

Summary
Dim blue eyes stare up at him. Hair that might once have been rich with colour hangs limp and brittle around a gaunt face. A face with a split lip and a fading bruise on one cheekbone. A face that is blank of all emotion and yet simultaneously screams help.
No, he doesn’t see danger. He sees only a man trying to meld with the wall and make his body as small as possible while staring down Din with a glare so cold that it could cause anyone’s blood to turn to ice. The man is dressed in thread-bare prison garb that hangs off his slight frame like oversized drapery and around his wrists is a pair of complex-looking cuffs. They’re the same ones Grogu had been shackled with, cuffs that somehow diminished his powers. If this man bears them too could that mean…
Din crouches, bringing himself down to the man’s level.
“Are you a Jedi?”
*
In an alternate universe where the name Luke Skywalker has long since been lost, Din Djarin discovers an unexpected prisoner aboard Gideon's ship, finding not only a potential teacher for Grogu but also the man who will change his life, and his heart, for the better.
