Vella Delaba had been raised as a peacekeeper, a knight. But by necessity, she'd become a warrior and had fought in many wars. She'd been a padawan in the Clone Wars and had joined in the battle against the tyrannical Empire. But no matter how many fights she came back from, she was never prepared for what she'd lose. The Jedi had been slandered, their once loved name became mud beneath a blurrgs feet. She had fought battles civilians couldn't and was now branded a traitor. 

Her past haunted her. The Jedi haunted her. The Force haunted her. But no matter how much she ran, it always caught up. The Galactic Republic was long gone, the Jedi were dead, even the Empire had been defeated. She'd lived through all of it, all because she'd ignored and hidden one of the most important things about her.

The war was over, the Rebellion had won, the Empire was gone. So why was she still struggling to find where she fit in the mix of it?

She was a Jedi.

Where did a Jedi fit into a galaxy that hadn't seen one for nearly thirty years? Against the Odds, and quite surprisingly, she found she fit quite nicely with a Mandalorian and a small child. Even if the Baby is the only one to figure that out yet.

Din Djarin must defend the child against dark Force wielders who would gladly take the little one off his hands. He will have to decide whether to trust some new allies, for the safety of the child. Note: This was written before season 2 of The Mandalorian came out. I wanted to throw together some characters from different Star Wars series and see how they'd interact. Turns out, a couple of them did end up meeting. In this story, they get to go on a whole adventure. They learn some things about each other and about themselves along the way, which is often painful, but could create bonds of trust if that's what they choose. Getting into these characters' heads and exploring the Force and the galaxy far far away have been an amazing ride. I finished this story on May the 4th, 2020. Then later, my friends urged me to polish it up and put it out there. So here it is for anyone who would enjoy it! It's not meant to replace anything that's going on in the show (which has been amazing so far, by the way). It's just an exploration and speculation on these characters and their universe. This is a fanfiction. The universe, most of the characters, and most of the locales belong to Star Wars. If you search a character or planet on Wookieepedia and it comes up with nothing, chances are I made them up (because I checked, too, before I gave them names). However, they were sometimes partly inspired by existing characters or planets in Star Wars. My use of the mando'a language was inspired by its use in Karen Traviss's Republic Commando novels (which I highly recommend if you want to learn some things about Mandalorian culture . . . And they're good stories.)
Another Galactic Adventure by SpideySenses2907
8 parts Ongoing Mature
Mandalorians weren't a common sight on Tatooine, even for a Jedi-turned-bounty hunter by the name of Annalisa Veruna. She had lived on the dirt planet ever since she and her father escaped the terror that occurred at Coruscant, left to fend theirselves after Anakin Skywalker wreaked havoc on the Temple. Annalisa witnessed the horror at age three. Her father retreated to the planet take care of her and her newborn sister. The Empire had fallen. Annalisa witnessed it all. She was there when her sister stabbed a lightsaber through their father's chest and when she fled to join the Empire. Now that it disappeared into the shadows, Annalisa was left alone in her childhood home with two droids. Hunting was what she was good at and it paid for her necessities. Even when most would say she was living a good life, there was something missing: a sense of adventure. Her body ached to be in another battle for the greater good of the galaxy. It wasn't until a constantly repaired, worn-out "Razor Crest" landed in bay three-five that Annalisa saw how crazy her tracking fob had gone. Whatever fifty year old quarry was on that ship, everyone was after it. It called for an investigation... And perhaps an adventure. ~ ~ -- I do not own anything related to Star Wars or the franchise. I only added (and own) my OCs to the show for fun, so much so that I changed some parts : ) -- This story will include blood, gore, serious language, existential crises, death, heartbreak, fighting/dueling, and romantic endeavors. As with most warriors, there will be trauma, protrayals of panic attacks, anxiety, and the like.
The Green Bead {Branching Out - Book III} by kurenohikari

Since Qui-Gon's death, Anakin had become the anchor in Obi-Wan's life. It was Anakin who gave him purpose. There was no greater pride than seeing him surpass the other Padawans, watching him grow into the prodigy everyone had expected him to be. Obi-Wan had even allowed himself a rare indulgence-gloating about his apprentice's achievements, silently basking in the knowledge that he had helped shape the Jedi who would one day be the Order's greatest. But with that pride came an overwhelming guilt. Obi-Wan had never been able to reconcile it fully, but his attachment to Anakin-his love for him-was plain as day to anyone who knew them. The way he lit up when Anakin was in the room, the way he defended his Padawan even when the Council was less than forgiving. That connection had deepened over time, morphing from the playful, nurturing affection of a master for his apprentice into something more guarded. He had become stricter with Anakin as the years passed, holding back the casual warmth he once offered so easily, because he knew that his love for Anakin was becoming too personal, too dangerous. Attachments led to fear, and fear led... well, Obi-Wan knew where that path led. He couldn't afford to let his feelings slip into attachment, even though everyone in the Temple could see it. The truth was, Anakin was his favorite. He had always been. And that scared Obi-Wan more than any battle, more than any Sith Lord. But did Anakin know that? Did Anakin realize how much he meant to Obi-Wan? Or had he misinterpreted Obi-Wan's stricter behavior as a lack of affection? The thought gnawed at Obi-Wan. He remembered sitting by Anakin's bedside, wondering if he had ever told Anakin how proud he was, how much he truly cared for him. But when Anakin had finally woken from that coma, everything had changed.
