At Some Point I’ll Draw Something Other Than Modern Mando AUs - But That’s A Challenge For Another

At some point I’ll draw something other than Modern Mando AUs - but that’s a challenge for another day.  This started off as just tired Din (+ Grogu of course) but ended up turning into a Dinluke AU in my head somehow. 

What I’ve got so far is: 

Grogu’s approaching kindy/school age so Din’s currently working multiple jobs in a desperate push to save up as much as possible to get him into the best school he can.

That’s to say - the poor guy is in a more or less constant state of exhaustion at the moment. 

He and Grogu live at the end of the train line so his transit routine at the moment is walk an extra couple of blocks from the office he’s temping at to get on at the start of the line and claim a seat, set up a nature video for the kiddo, and try to get at least an hour of nap-time on the train so he’s sort of awake for his night gig (bouncer for Boba and Fennec’s Palace or pick-up Mechanic for Peli, depending on the day). 

Luke’s also heading way out Din’s way because he’s staying with Han and Chewie for the moment (1 part ‘living up like the old days’ 1 part ‘trying to smooth things over between Han and Leia again after the latest tiff’.)

I’m gonna say that he’s a teacher, because that seems to be the trend (and I love it!)

He’s not a massive fan of the trip time but the cute guy and his adorable little kid that he keeps finding himself running into definitely makes the situation a bit more bearable. 

He’s been practicing his sign language skills with the kiddo - who’s very chatty the second he realises Luke understands him. 

Queue Grogu being the best little wingman there ever was, in spite of sleeping beauty snuffling away back there not helping in the slightest.

Queue Luke sort of falling very hard for Grogu’s dad in spite of never having actually met the guy when he’s, you know, awake.
