'The Jedi's Gambit'

Update status: Ongoing, Updates whenever inspiration strikes

Notable tags: Ben Kenobi x Jaster Mereel, Time Travel Fix-it, Taking the Sith down from the shadows

Mandalorians had this odd sense of humour where they liked watching strangers get teary eyed from eating the spiciest dishes. “Familiar with pirpaak ?” “Not this particular one, but familiar enough to know what to expect.” Ben replied. Food was an important part of Mandalorian culture. Aliite tended to have conflict over whose dish was the better recipe. It was like Jedi and their tea blends. “Where did you have it?” “Sundari.” Ben replied, “It was a lifetime ago.” “Ughh, Sundari’s drap? What’s the name of the place?” “I am unsure, though it might have been a bit spicier than this one.” Ben hid a smile at the outrage that followed his claim by taking another bite. Pretending not to notice the chaos he had caused, Ben glanced at the Mand’alor who was watching him in amusement. “Ever visited Keldabe?” Ben hid a laugh. “Only ran through it, really.” “What a shame. I will show you around.” Jaster offered. Ben smiled, “I would not say no to that.” —- In which Ben Kenobi realises that it was only fair if the Sith actually had a player sitting on the opposite side of the invisible chessboard they had created.

‘The Warrior Who Would Rather Not Fight’

Update status: Finished

Notable tags: Jedi Order disbands, All Mandalorians have a Competence Kink, Fix-it.

In which the Jedi Order disbands and the Jedi flee to all corners of the galaxy. Ben has been raising Luke and Leia on his own. He was hiding them well until a bunch of curious Mandalorians happen to get stuck on the planet he chose as a home. It wasn't his fault that their leader seemed fascinated by him. Aka Ben is a tired dad who is batting away Mandalorians while trying to keep his identity a secret from everyone.

‘Oya'karir Jetiise’

Update status: Ongoing, updates whenever inspiration strikes

Notable tags: Semi hidden Jedi, All Mandalorians have a Competence Kink, Fix-it.

It started slowly. Mostly with curiosity from Mando’ade who had read Jaster’s article. Curiosity about just what their ancestors and predecessors saw in Jettise of all beings. That curiosity grew bigger when it turned out that Jetiise were a lot harder to find than anyone would have thought. Which made it a challenge. And there was no Mandalorian in the galaxy that would not rise to the challenge of a good hunt. -------------- Or, the discovery of a few tiny mistranslation leads to Mandalorians realising that their ancestors really really liked Jedi and they set out to discover why. Shenanigans ensue.

---------------------

‘The Temporary Temple Guards’

Update status: Finished

Notable tags: Obi-Wan x Jaster Mereel, AU Timeline.

It was a widely known fact within the Temple, that the Temple Guards stationed at the Coruscant Temple were experiencing a ‘shortage’ at the moment. Seeing as Knights were sent out to complete missions and went on protective details, they were also the Corp that was responsible for the Temple Guards. - “I may have an issue.” “What is it?” The boy was alone. No one else was around despite it being the middle of the night. Just the boy who made a bee-line for Obi-Wan. He was way too young to be out at this time let alone out here all alone. It was the boy’s training armour that tipped Obi-wan off that this was more than just a lost child. “I have a youngling in front of me. There is no one else around and I am pretty sure he’s Mandalorian.” Quinlan paused, then asked, “...Come again?” Obi-Wan peered down at the child tugging at his arm. “Aran, ner echoy'la.” Kriff. “Correction, I have a Mandalorian boy in front of me telling me he’s lost.” - Or it’s Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi’s turn to be a Temporary Temple Guard and of course one of his past missions comes back to haunt him.

‘To Heal, One Must Hurt’

Update status: Ongoing, updates whenever inspiration strikes

Notable tags: Jon Antilles x Jaster Mereel, Fix-it.

One of the Jetii’s scarred, pretty hands reached out and travelled to Jaster’s neck which had the latter stiffen. “What are you doing?” “Making sure your heart doesn’t fail while you sleep.” Jon replied. This Jetii was strange. “Your hand is putting too much pressure. I can’t sleep like this.” “I would rather not find you dead in the morning.” Jon replied, his hand not moving, “Healing you would be a waste of energy if that were to happen.” Jaster’s view of Jetiise had always been silver tongued Monks who sweet talked their way through politics and killed whomever didn’t fall for their mind tricks. This Jetii was nothing like that. “At least put your hand lower– how do you expect a Thaung-descendant to sleep when their ancient enemy is choking them?” It was hard to see the Jetii’s face below that deep hood of his. “Very well.” Jon scooted a bit closer. Jaster moved up and rested his head on top of the Jetii’s thigh. “What are you doing?” Jon demanded. “Shhh, sleep speeds the healing process.” Jaster mumbled. Another sigh told Jaster just how much he was pissing Jon off, but the Jetii kept his cool and slowly settled. It was actually surprisingly comfortable to lie down like this.

Notable tags: Obi-Wan Kenobi x Cody, Obi-Wan Kenobi raises Luke Skywalker, Post-Order 66, Somebody Lives/Not Everyone Dies.

'He rounded the corner towards the square right in front of the Temple- it was different than before because there had never been a square in front of the Temple. Obi-Wan froze in place the moment he looked up. His eyes observed the large statues one by one. Plo Koon, Mace Windu, Kit Fisto- they were all Councillors during the war. Obi-Wan stood in front of the statues as tears welled up in his eyes. He hadn't seen them in a long time and these statues looked exactly like them. From facial features and expression down to the way they were seated- as if they were in a regular Council meeting. "Look Uncle Ben! It's-" Obi-Wan leaped to Luke and covered his mouth before he could say anything else. "Yes, I see, it's General Kenobi." He hoped the beings whose attention was drawn towards them would move on quickly. "But try not to shout, Luke, alright?" His eyes left the boy to observe the statue of himself. Or, in which the Clones take over the Empire and Obi-Wan hears rumours about the whole ordeal which causes him to head back to Coruscant. Updates whenever inspiration strikes.'

'The War Master of the Jedi Order'

Update status: Finished (25/25)

Notable tags: Ben Kenobi x Jaster Mereel, Time Travel Fix-it.

'The Force- strong and Light as ever- greeted Ben as an old friend. A breeze blowing Ben's hood off and moving his robes. As if a hand gently brushed through his hair- as if the Force was comforting him. The beautiful colours painting the atmosphere. Another melody in the cool and icy evening air. Marching in the background. Ben closed his eyes, listening to it. it was the shift of armour, the clang of Beskar against Beskar, that snapped Ben out of his quiet reflection and mourning. Ben opened his eyes and looked over his shoulder. Behind him were three Mando's approaching him from all sides and cornering him. Turning to face those approaching him, Ben tilted his head. "Tion'cuy?" "Naasade." Ben replied as he jumped back onto the railing, spread his arms and let himself fall back.'

The Hunt Begins

Since it's the Obimaul Creation Event month I figured I'd dust off my writing skills and try a little fic. I took a few grains of Stars, a dash of Journey, and a scruff of Animal for this prompt. And thanks to Steff for the reassurances.

-

Bee Kenobi, the best asset of the Exploracorp, shoved open the door to Master Levyn’s office, scowling.

“You can’t make me take this assignment.” He dropped into the chair across from Levyn’s desk, shoving one foot against the edge to tilt his chair back. “I have seniority, now.”

The stout lasat behind the desk flicked an ear. “So you do, Pilot Kenobi.” His voice was a deep rumble. “However, as you so often like to remind us, you’re one of our best assets and as such, the Order has need of your services.”

Bee rolled his eyes, reaching up to swipe a hand over his hair; metallic red, this month. Three years later and he still couldn’t break the nervous habit of making sure his Padawan braid was gone.

“The Order can shove it,” he said. “They’re just kissing ass to the Senate, anyway, and I’m not babysitting some snotty little warlord who had a vision of some lost tribe of Mandalorians and wants to go find them.”

“I’m not Mand’alor yet,” said a silky voice behind him. “And despite what you may think of my people, I do know how to wipe my nose.”

Bee startled, overbalancing his chair. His arms flailed before a gentle force caught the back, tipping the chair back upright. Bee was out and turning as Levyn failed to smother a laugh.

His armor was mostly black with a black fur ruff, which might be why Bee failed to notice him upon entering. His face, however, was uncovered and hard to miss.

Bee had seen one other Nightbrother during his apprenticeship. One of the senior pilots had scooped up a young couple fleeing Dathomir and hidden them away on one of Exploracorp’s designated Safe Worlds. That one had neon yellow skin with dark orange markings. The one regarding him now was dark red and black, almost matching his armor.

“Uh.” Words failed him. The Force around the Mandalorian almost glowed; mostly with Light, but with lots of sharp edges. His lagging brain realized that the Mando had also used the Force to stop his chair from tipping over.

Levyn chuckled. “That’ll teach you to pay more attention to your surroundings, pup.”

Bee felt heat rush to his face. “Sorry,” he managed. “Sorry, I…”

Gold eyes regarded him, unblinking. His heart was in his throat, fluttering wildly. Couldn’t be adrenaline. And despite the Mando’s appearance, there was no sense of threat from him.

“Senior Pilot Obi-Wan Kenobi.” Levyn’s rumbly voice oozed amusement. “Please meet Al’verde Maul Mereel, of Clan Mereel, adopted son of Mand’alor Jaster.”

“Oh.” His heart suddenly switched directions, plummeting to his toes.He bowed deep, hoping to make up for his mistake, and came up smiling. “Hello there.”

“The best your Explorers has to offer?” A faint smile curved Maul’s lips.

“Oh, well, I don’t like to brag…” Bee swiped a hand over his hair again, ignoring the loud snort behind him. “So what’s this about a missing tribe?”

.

.

.

The story turned out to be far more interesting than Bee had anticipated. Maul’s “visions” seemed to be a true sending of the Force. Maul himself had been doubtful, since they weren’t common for him and because as far as he knew there were no Mandalorian colonies beyond known space.

Jaster, however, had dug through the history archives and located scattered accounts of a Mandalorian expedition made of several clans who’d grown tired of all the fighting and decided to strike out and find a new world to settle. That had been nearly 4000 years ago and no one had heard from them since. They’d been presumed lost until Maul began dreaming of them.

It was a fascinating tale, and Al’verde Maul’s telling of it was passionate and enticing. Bee found himself leaning closer to the Mando several times, catching the occasional whiff of warm leather, armor oil, and something he couldn’t identify.

“Since it was my vision, Jaster insisted I should be the one to go looking,” Maul said, a pinch forming between his brows. “And if we were traveling along known routes, I’d be given a seasoned squad for the hunt. Heading into unknown space, however, requires a different skillset.”

He shrugged, almost dislodging his fur ruff, which opened its eyes and glared at Bee. A cat. It was some kind of feline, alive, draped around Maul’s neck.

“I, yes,” Bee said, dragging his attention back to Maul, who was also watching him. “You said you have clues? I’m good with those. We should be able to trace, uh, something, I’m sure, although don’t get your hopes up too high.”

“With a Jedi? Never.” Maul’s teeth flashed a brief grin.

“Not a Jedi,” Bee corrected. “I wasn’t good enough for them. Too hotheaded, they said.” He grinned and was rewarded with a chuckle from Maul.

“Their loss, then.” Maul held out his hand.

Bee moved to accept it, only for Maul to catch his forearm instead. Feeling a bit awkward, he returned the gesture, noting the slight tingle that went up his arm at the skin-to-skin contact.

“I need to check in with Jaster and see about feeding Chekar,” Maul said, reaching up to scritch the cat’s head. “And I’m sure Master Levyn has a great deal of information to impart on you.”

There was something almost threatening about the way he said that, but Bee’s witty retort was wasted on the door closing with a swish. He glanced at Levyn, who was indeed looking a bit predatory.

Bee groaned. It was going to be a long, long night. But at least his next mission seemed promising. Far more Political than he liked, but Maul might just be worth it. He had a good feeling about that.

Bee Mereel (The Righteous)

making an art compilation for my own oc? it's more likely than you think!

bee my beloved, ba'buir to all of concord dawn, force-sensitive armorer..... Ba'Bee.... meant to be a minor character but i got far far too attached to him.

he gives off the aura of a gentle ba'buir but he could be very scary if he so chose. he is fully capable of putting his mand'alor nephew in his place if necessary.

[bojangos]

🖊️ for bee mereel! :D

B'IKA.....

jaster's uncle and armorer. jaster's mum's youngest sibling. has no kids of his own (technically) but everyone knows Jaster is His Baby.

what they don't know is that both of them are Force Sensitive (or, in bee's terms, stars-touched) and have a force bond as strong as a ship anchor. didn't fade in the slightest during jaster's exile and only grows stronger over the years.

It started bc wee wee baby jaster had awful awful dreams and bee started shielding him to let the poor baby sleep, and developed from there. bee thought for sure jaster'd be an armorer too, before the stars took him on a different path.

The Righteous, Chapter 8: "Whoops!"

>>Read on AO3!

>>Read Chapter 1!

Excerpt:

“I’m telling you, Jango, Ord Mantell is gonna take Alderaan in the semi-finals like they did last year-” “Last year Ord Mantell had J’nee Wilks, and he’s moved to Kubindi.  There’s no way they’ll take the Cup this year-” “Well Alderaan won’t beat Kubindi then-”

The bell attached to the front door jingled softly, and the boy’s mouths snapped shut as they were suddenly on high alert.  In the door was a familiar figure in Protector green.

A Year late, we have an update!!! Trying to get back on track after some very stressful couple months. As usual @glimjack has been a wonderful help both writing and editing.

[bojangos]

mereel fambly portrait....

they’re arranged by their actual heights LMAO (though honestly... Jaster should be even taller aklsdjfklasdj)

[bojangos]

me and @yourlordship accidentally inventing a whole new character for the “jaster lives” au today; 

meet Bee Mereel, Armorer and Jaster’s 90 year old Uncle that is still forging and everyone calls their grandpa LMAO

he and jaster are both force sensitive (re: forging as the mandalorian’s strongest force tradition), but Bee moreso.  Never let Bee meet a jedi he’ll adopt them immediately

(his name isn’t actually Bee, but everyone has called him that for So Long no one actually remembers what his name is anymore. Don’t worry about it)

The Righteous , Chapter 5 - “Te Cabur’e”

>>Read on AO3!

>> Read Chapter 1!

Excerpt:

The fuzzy form of Truuk Ulikur, leader of a clan of farmers on one of Concord Dawn’s moons, appeared - he was broad shouldered with a tuft of short pale hair over a remarkably scarred face, but thankfully he appeared mostly unarmored as well.  He’d never met the man before, but he was familiar with the clan.

“S-Su cuy’gar, Mand’alor Mereel, ” Ulikur started, hologram stuttering slightly and distorted by static.

Mand’alor, huh.

Notes:

As usual, Bee’s home cooking makes an appearance, as the plot thickens around them all.

[bojangos]

... Bee headcanons :) ?

is it headcanons if he's my own character LMAO (for those of you who aren't aware, Bee is a sort of OC for The Righteous, acting as Jaster's armorer and family! drew him here.... sweet ba'buir...)

I will give you a few non-spoilery tidbits nonetheless:

I've said before he's jaster's uncle, but specifically he's jaster's mother's younger brother. he was the third of four siblings and the only manda-touched of the bunch

he learned Ryl when one of his first apprentices was a twi'lek originally from ryloth.

However. he. doesn't speak Basic LMAO. In Fact, he doesn't technically speak standard mando'a - only Concordian and Ryl, but standard mando'a and concordian are mutually intelligible so it doesn't really cause issues.

infamous even among other armorers for being extremely perceptive, occasionally giving unnervingly accurate prophecies, a Font of sage wisdom, and because a solid quarter of armorers well known in mando space apprenticed under him at Some point. mf had his first student when he himself was like twenty

he is somewhat of a singer, as is demanded by a Keeper of Tradition like an armorer is, and he sounds like Einar Selvik, specifically in Lyfjaberg (complete with Huge Drum).

i love my sweet baba and I hope everyone else loves him when they get to meet him!!

[bojangos]

i just wanted to say, i love it that bee mereel is called baba and the ultimate grandpa because that’s like, such a grandparent word to me? for me and my family we always called my grandmother baba (short for babusia/babtsia) and it’s just. such a fond word for me <3

AW i’m glad you connected with something personally!!! i didn’t really get to know my grandparents very well so we didn’t have any great nicknames for them, but i just went like “ba’buir... ba’bu... baba...” and that’s how that happened aslkdjfklsd.

i also think it’s extremely funny that jaster calls him baba when bee is not, in fact, his baba.  bee is extremely offended people think he’s old enough for that
