Akin to Love

Summary:

Cal Kestis woke up on Coruscant Fifty-two years ago, looking no older than seventeen, and his bounty hunter was nowhere to be found. Needless to say, Cal is not happy, and therefore no one will be happy. Cal has a mission: get the Jedi out from under the Senate's thumb, stop the Mandalorian civil war, and prevent the Galactic Empire's rise. Would Cal be wiser to just live an easy life in the past? And let the galaxy take care of its self?
Yeah. Probably.
Or, Cal solves the galaxies' problems with one arranged marriage. (Sorry, Obi-Wan, you get to take one for the team, at least Jango's hot, right.) Financially decimating Sith Lords and their allies. (Palpy's wallet will take a bruising) And no clones, Jango! (Except for Boba because of time travel.)

Update: this fic had had a re-write and Chapter 4 is an actual chapter.

Notes:

My Cal Kestis is not Cannon Cal or your Cal, please love him anyway.
BD-1 is the Gir of Star Wars... i'll die on that hill.
Boba Fett likes redheads.
P.S. Gonna try this again. If you know, you know.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

Trust in the Force, trust only in the force…  The Force is a bunch of overpowered bacteria that lives within us all.

(Yeah, it is gross when you think about it for too long.)

The Force is an energy field that surrounds us and all living things.

(Then how can we touch things?)

I am one with the Force, and the Force is with me…

(If you are one with it, it would obviously be with you!)

The Force has a mind and will of its own, with its own thoughts and plans. And that we are subjected to its demands

(That’s why you shouldn’t touch things in ancient Jedi Temples simply because it's shiny and calling to you…)

These are all facts about the Force…. From a certain point of view.

(Who’s point of view? Answer me that!)

But the one thing they never tell you about the Force? Is that the universe has a sense of humor…

(That’s a scary thought, huh?)
