Resol’nare - Masterlist

Summary: Mandalorian isn’t a race, it’s a creed. Since being rescued by the Mandalorians as a child, Din Djarin has sworn himself to The Way, adhering to the strict demands of Mandalorian culture and tradition. But when he breaks the creed, removing his helmet on his quest to deliver Grogu safely to the Jedi, he is left with more than the loneliness that the Child’s absence creates- he is left with questions about who he is and where he fits in Mandalorian society. And the acquisition of the Darksaber and the title of Mand’alor along with it? They only offer more questions- ones that he needs to answer sooner rather than later. 

Elsewhere in the galaxy, Mandalorian Navina Harsa is on a quest of her own, one that she’s been working toward for the better part of her life; exacting revenge on those who betrayed her family, and ending the Mandalorian’s history of power struggles for good. When their paths cross, the two find that they have much more in common than The Way. Though their beliefs and priorities differ, they must trust one another if there is ever to be true balance- for the Mandalorians... or for the galaxy as a whole. 

Warnings: Violence, language, death 

Author’s Note: Here I go, diving headfirst into the deep end of the SW pool. This story has been and continues to be a blast to write, despite how nervous I am to share it. I truly hope that you enjoy, and encourage any and all feedback, questions or concerns. New chapters will post on Sundays. If you would like to be added to or removed from the tags please feel free to let me know! Ao3 link here.

Part One -  WC: 4k What has the Mand’alor been up to since saying goodbye to the kid? And what is he planning to do next?

Part Two - WC: 4.8k Navina Harsa has been on her own for a long time, and she has done whatever she’s needed to in order to survive. From time to time that means forsaking the teachings, The Way of her people. But there is one thing that she will never do, and that is forsake her family- even if they’re gone.

Part Three - WC: 5.2k Rebuilding the Tribe, re-forging the armor, restoring the traditions and culture of the Mandalorians have become more than a way to pass the time alone for Din, they have become the penance that he inflicted on himself for breaking the Creed that he swore all those years ago. But perhaps The Way has more paths than he previously thought.

Part Four - WC: 4.8k With Navina and Firo off to hit an abandoned Imperial base on Nevarro in hopes of scoring a hot new ride that won’t litter bolts all over the galaxy like the Flare will, and Mando responding to Cara’s holo about a beskar sighting, the stage is set for an introduction to remember… and hopefully not a bloody one.

Part Five - WC: 4.8k The Mandalorian has some questions for the thief he apprehended on Nevarro. But when extenuating circumstances force them to work together, he starts to see that there might be more to her than the common criminal that he first thought.

Part Six - WC: 4.3k After a night of asking and answering questions, Navina wakes up aboard The Promise, and it turns out that she and Mando still have some things to discuss before they each go on their own separate ways... things that could possibly help her answer the questions she’s been trying to answer for years- what happened the night she and her family left for Yavin? And... who is the strange man who keeps appearing in her dream?

Part Seven - WC: 5.6k The Mandalorian makes the journey back to Tatooine to take care of some things back at the covert after his run in with Navina on Nevarro. More is revealed about the goings on in the upper levels of Boba Fett’s complex, we learn what he and Fennec are up to, as well as a little more about how things are run below. And we finally hear what Bo-Katan has been itching to tell him.

Part Eight - WC: 4.3k A trip to Corellia to offload their stolen speeders takes Navina and Firo through some of the shiftier parts of Coronet City before ending their trip with a visit to Firo’s family. Navina learns some shocking new information about her quest... and also misses something very important.

Part Nine - WC: 5k The Mandalorian arrives on Nevarro to meet with Navina again, hopefully to trade information that could be valuable to them both. But before she joins him he receives a call with some concerning information. When she does finally get there, things come to a head. Quickly.

Part Ten - WC: 4.9k

Having just barely escaped an assassination attempt with their lives, Din and Navina agree to help each other untangle all of the knotted threads that they have run into. But Navina may have ended up with a little more than she bargained for when she kicked the conversation off by asking him about the Darksaber. With her history of searching for it so that it could be destroyed and his current role as Mand’alor, will they be able to get past their differences?
