    Summary

    “Dwarves tend to use the stones they come from, but here,” Gandalf says, reaching into some hidden pocket of his robes and revealing a handful of very dirty gemstones. “Take these.” 

    Covered in dirt and all else, Bilbo really can’t see what he’s even looking at. A couple of gems, perhaps, or crystals. Only one tends to be actually cut into the fashion of rings, but the others look like they’ve come from the ground directly. One looks to be a garnet, but that’s the only color he recognizes. 

    “And pray tell,” Bilbo drawls, “what am I supposed to do with this?” 

    Gandalf laughs, fully bodied and leaning forward slightly. Bilbo can’t help but stare, half debating on throwing the mismatched rocks right onto the ground. 

    “Why, give it to Thorin, perhaps? As a token of… friendship,” Gandalf says.

    -

    Or Bilbo gives Thorin a gem that means lust. Thorin eventually replies with a flower that means hate. They figure it out in the end.

    Summary

    The Company shows their affection for Bilbo in accordance with dwarvish tradition. Bilbo... has no idea why everyone keeps giving him gifts.

    (Dwarves give gifts of craft to start friendships or romance. Everybody lives AU, canon-compliant through the first movie.)

    Summary

    Mandalorian courtship is a fairly straightforward process. Declaration of interest, expression of trust, introduction to clan, and then marriage. The whole process usually takes under a year. Usually. If the Galaxy wasn’t at war and both parties are aware they’re in a courtship.

    Or:

    It's an ancient Mandalorian tradition to wear an empty sheath on your belt when you’re ready to be courted. If someone puts a knife into the sheath, they’re interested. If you accept, you keep the knife. Too bad no one notified Obi-Wan Kenobi of this tradition.

    Summary

    The Greater Mandalorian Empire that rises after the Excision spans a large swathe of the galaxy, challenging the ever-shrinking Republic Core and waging furious battles against the Sith Empire.

    Captured on Galidraan and held prisoner on Kamino, Jango Vhett is caught in a Republic plot to destroy both Empires; clone troopers made of his blood are being made in secrecy to serve the Republic and the Jedi to fight both the Sith and Jango's own people.

    Jango doesn’t know if he can save all of the clones from the terrible cold and unfeeling cruelty of the Kaminoans, or if he can keep them from having to fight and die for the Republic that had ordered the creation of a slave army... but he does know this: Verde sa akaan nau tracyn kad. Warriors are forged in the fires of war.

    These children are made for war, and they have been fighting to stay alive since their creation. Jango will do what he must. He will teach them everything he knows so they will have a better chance of surviving Kamino, surviving the Wars.

    Jango has promised that an army will be ready for the Republic.

    And they will be... They will be ready. Haat, ijaa, haa'it.

    Summary

    Out of every result he could've predicted for the Anaxes mission, being invited into Clone Force 99 was not exactly one he'd put much thought into. That one's more along the lines of, 'never expected in the slightest'.

    Echo wonders, sitting in the Marauder, whose idea it was to take him in. It’s not like Hunter sprung it on all of them at once right then and there.
