#reylo fanfiction
I’ve been getting back into fanfic reading lately, and I’m far along enough in a fic by an author I like to recommend “Epilogue”by BlueEnvelopes965 as a good TROS “fix it” read. I’m really enjoying it.
It is a completed 51 chapter fic that features Rey, Ben Solo, Darth Plageuis and assorted minor characters following the events of TROS.
It’s funny and intriguing, and I keep putting work aside to come back and read it! I suspect it will be the ending we DESERVE and didn’t get!
Enjoy
I Am Beautiful With You
Apprentice! Come.
It’s loud and all-encompassing and it expels Rey out of the passionate kiss she’s sharing with her prisoner.
The slick oily darkness she’s come to associate with her Master oozes inside her mind as she’s summoned through their psychic link forged over many years of use.
Kiss broken, the obsidian gaze that stares back at her is filled with pain and worry.
“What was that?" her ward pleads, eyes searching hers, shoulders curling forward and trembling hands still grasping onto her.
Pursing her lips in thought, she gives an almost imperceptible shake of her head with narrowed eyes.
"You heard that?” she quizzes. How could he have possibly heard her Master’s voice in her head?
*****

Looks good!

Rated T for Teen
Chapter 1/?
2.2k words so far-
Kylo’s grip was waning.
After the fiasco at Crait, he heard the whispers behind his back, that which echoed throughout the First Order. It came from no one source; everyone was thinking it: that Kylo was unhinged. A terrible leader. Distracted. Incomplete in his training. Too involved in personal affairs. He’d cost them the victory. Now the Resistance ran free, right when they were in their grasp. He failed. Nothing like Snoke.
Snoke? Did Rey really kill Snoke? And the guards? Alone?
Kylo could feel his army turning on him. He made examples where he could, to reinstate fear, but it wasn’t enough. In fact, it only made them hate him more.
Even sitting alone in his room, he could feel the outside turmoil of the First Order. The rumors and twistings. He was devising what new ways he could arrest their obedience, when she appeared.
She always appeared at the worst fucking times.
“Where are you going?” Kylo asked her.
“Where do you think,” Rey quickly threw on her tunic, “Back to Jakku.”
CHAPTER TWO IS UP
This fic will be between 3-5 chapters and will finish by the end of next week (9/6/2020)
“Welcome home, Rey.”
CHAPTER THREE IS UP
What do you want, Rey? Kylo thought to her. What do you want to do?
He asked that question like they had any other option.
CHAPTER FOUR IS UP.
ONE MORE CHAPTER TO GO! Last one will have SMUT.
COMPLETED
Reylo smut ahead❤️
Chapter Five
Thank you for reading ❤️
When you find that perfect fic that’s so fluffy and sweet and fills you with hope rather than heartache:
Does anyone fancy sharing this reylo fluffy goodness? I need a pick me up!
Ben and Rey reach a new level of trust as he agrees to let her cut his hair.
After a year and a half of writing and planning, today–St. Valentine’s Day and, apparently, International Fanworks Day–I finally started posting my Reylo as Cupid/Eros and Psyche fanfic, “Saving Love”!
“She glanced down at his hands wrapped around hers. Hands that had murdered innocents, hands that had held the blade that struck down his father, ripped open her best friend, and met hers in battle. But it was those same hands that had trembled as they reached for her fingertips, hands that had given her more pleasure than she knew possible, hands that steadied her now.”

Spoiler art below the cut!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Last month I tweeted that Rian Johnson changed my life. Although I’ve been prone to Rian Johnson-related dramatic hyperbole over the last three years, this time I was very serious.
I’m so excited to finally share that my book has found the perfect home at The Dial Press / Random House!
You all gave me the support and encouragement to write and share my stories…plus countless hours of entertainment and angst and anticipation for updates. I adore the amount of imagination and creativity that’s been poured into this fandom.
Some time in the next two years (yeah, traditional publication takes a long time), the book will come out. Physically. It will have a cover and my name and blurbs and some unfortunate audiobook narrator will have to read my faux-Chuck Tingle passages without laughing.
Best of all, I get to spend more time in this little universe that’s so personal to me. Especially after this hellish last year, it’s been like escaping into a time and place that I can revisit when I need comfort. Or a knish.
While I get my website set up, I’ve created a beautiful and temporary mailing list at https://www.kategoldbeck.pizza/slice. I’ll be sending out fun extras to folks who sign up.
I also made some brand new social accounts:
IG:https://instagram.com/kategoldbeck/
FB:https://facebook.com/kate.goldbeck/ and I’ll stay at the same Twitter and Tumblr accounts, with a new handle.Thank you so much to everyone who left kudos or comments! Fanfic is valid as fuck.
hi friends, i’ve noticed an uptick in requests for the Doing the Unstuck pdf/epub. if you want it, please DM me directly here or on twitter or instagram instead of asking the internet/another reader. i have a few disclaimers i like to share before sending *and* I have a slightly corrected copy.
one of the best things about fanfic is the ability to provide tags, CWs, and authors notes on a chapter-by-chapter basis. when i offered the pdf, it didn’t occur to me that people who hadn’t read the fic in 2018 would want it. the pdf i made was *only* the text of the story.
i haven’t read the fic in literal years but i’m pretty sure there’s stuff in there that hits differently in 2022 or that would benefit from some context or additional CWs. (this was also the first fic i ever wrote and i was still learning how to do…everything?)
i should add that the novel is substantially different from the fic. hopefully i can talk about that process someday. i’m confident that if you liked Doing the Unstuck, you’ll *love* the book. they are definitely two totally different reading experiences. ♀️
INSTA-HERT: new, complete fic
Ben Solo is an Instacart shopper’s worst nightmare: rude, demanding, and extremely particular about his produce.
Fuck this guy.
No, really: Fuck. This. Guy.

Rated E | 3/3 chapters
OR: Rey is Ben’s Instacart shopper. He has special requests.
“Would you mind—could you maybe put a shirt on or something?”
Ben makes direct eye contact with her, while making zero effort to put a shirt on.
He somehow seems to become more naked as he digs through the bags. It’s probably just a trick of her mind. But his shoulder blades move beneath his creamy, freckled skin in a way that makes her curious about what would happen if her hand just happened to brush against—
“Kinder Bueno? Kinder—” He holds out the candy bar up like he’s just unearthed a something of enormous archaeological significance. “What is this?”
“It’s hazelnut cream and a crispy wafer covered in milk choc—”
“Iknow what it is, why did you buy it?”
“It’s like ten times better than Toblerone, which they didn’t have anyway. I did you a favor.”
He tilts his head like he’s spoiling for a fight.
“If you actually read my instructions, you would have noticed that I don’t eat—" he makes a sort of grimacing face, like he’s pained to even say the words “—milk chocolate.”
Rey gazes at the red and white wrapper, with its tantalizingly airbrushed images of chocolate and hazelnuts, and feels her stomach cry out. She reaches her right hand up in front of him and grabs the package out of his hand, barely brushing his finger against hers.
“I do.” She shoves it in the back pocket of her jeans. “I eat it.”
He looks dumbfounded for a second, before allowing his eyes to drift downward, in the direction of her hand, and then her back pocket—and, therefore—her ass.
“You’re going to take that with you?”
Almost forgot to post this on here, but…
Insta-heart (real name: Instacock) was featured on the Fangasm podcast!
I haven’t listened yet because I’m a coward, but I believe they read the fic aloud and comment on it, humorously? I’ve heard great things about the podcast, in general, and maybe I will get past the cringe factor of listening to my own dumb fic words being spoken out loud.
The episodes are here:
Rated E
Rey and Ben are a 1960s country singing duo who pretend to be in love on stage, while hating each other offstage.
Oh—and there was only one bed.
Reylo crossed with Walk the Line-ish vibes. Slightly angsty, occasionally non-linear slow burn. Posting a new chapter every couple days.
Updated with chapters 3 and 4!
Chapters5&6 (out of 8)
“Kate!” you shouted. “A bus could have many beds! It’s basically a vehicle full of beds!“
“Ah,” I replied, “but there was OnLY. oNE. BLanKeT.”Chapters7and8
(yes, there is a 9 and it will be the actual last chapter)
“It’s different for you and you know it,” he insists, sitting up on his elbow. “They’ve been leaving you alone because they don’t think you…do this kind of thing.”
“I don’t.”
“And after I’m gone, you’ll never hear the end of it.”
Chapter9 makes this fic COMPLETE!
"Say, did you manage to get any sleep?”
“Not much,” she answers honestly.
Rey pulls her coat a little tighter around her torso, and Ben is once again torn between wanting that smug bastard to see her neck and knowing what a terrible idea that would be.
"Dang it. Well, maybe you can catch a nap after the matinee.” Dameron leaps back to his feet. “Thing is, I knew Solo wouldn’t actually do a damn thing. But I’ll bet he was giving you a piece of his mind all night.”
Ben notices the corner of her mouth curve up the slightest little amount. Or, at least, he thinks he does.
“Somethin’ like that.”

A new story by delia-pavorum
luminous beings | rated: M | chapter 1/2
An exploration of Rey’s unseen grief over Ben’s death at the end of TROS.
(feat. Force Ghost Ben and a happy ending.)
preview:
The moment he is gone she forgets how to grieve.
The first and only thing she feels is pain, sharp and unyielding, like she has been run through by a lightsaber right in the soft spot at the base of her neck.
The pain fades quickly and is replaced instead by a hollowness that spreads from the centre of her chest outwards; an implacable coldness that consumes her quickly. She feels her face ease from its tormented grimace into something that might have almost been considered serene if it didn’t feel so much like a brumal death from within. She exhales softly, a light breath released from lips that have gone numb.
Her hands dazedly pat the soft material of his tunic, still warm from his body, as though she has somehow just missed him. As though she’ll still make contact with a solid form underneath and within.
Instead, all she encounters is the scrabbled ground beneath the fabric. There is no warm, breathing, living man within. It is now just an overlay for the hard unyielding rock below.
Had it truly been just moments before that she had held him in her arms, legs spread across his, their chests touching?
Was it really only seconds prior where their lips had met, held and captured, his mouth moving against her own? The feel of his fevered breath expelling from his nose and hitting her cheek as they desperately, awkwardly tasted each other for the first time? His arms hefting her, holding her, crushing her to him?
Had it even really happened?
For a moment she wonders if maybe she is dead again.
Maybe she is still dead.
Maybe she was always dead?
The feeling is the same, after all. The feeling of being trapped in that horrid liminal space where she had screamed and screamed in isolated terror, her voice singular amongst the endless stars; that inky blackness symbolizing a blank eternity.
Her throat feels raw, raw like she is still screaming although her face does not move aside from the slow descent of her eyelids, blink after painful blink.
Her breath comes out in short bursts as she scrambles up on shaky legs. At the last second she reaches down and grasps the shirt still on the ground, crumpling it up and sticking it under her arm. Her feet feel like leaden weights, knees wobbling, the coldness in her chest beginning to feel like an icy burn.
And she starts to move.

A teaser from @delia-pavorum’s fic,departures and arrivals:
With a old, familiar fury – one he didn’t know he felt until the moment it infiltrated his body, filling his lungs in a hot rage, coursing through his bloodstream – he wrenched the offending object off his neck and whipped it across the room with a half-growl, half-grunt of exertion. It landed right at the feet of a person who was standing in the doorway that had been empty mere seconds before, their slight frame silhouetted by the dim haze of cloudy morning light coming in from the hallway.
At first he stared, unseeing, at those feet. Then he blinked twice, hard, and black ankle boots came into focus, as did the slim ankles emerging from them. Shapely calves, encased in fitted black pants, swelling into hips with a slight curve, made prominent by the way they were angled to the side. A white blouse, half untucked, falling loosely over a petite bust. Narrow shoulders, a bent arm, a small hand resting on a cocked hip. Slim neck, pointy chin, bow-lips. Small nose, freckles. Upturned hazel eyes (green when she cries) framed with dark lashes. Her face. Her beautiful, devastating face.
Rey.
It had been three years.
And this was the morning she chose to show up.
The complete work will be released on November 15 as part this year’s Reylo Charity Anthology.

Rated: E (mind the tags)
Summary: Rey has some difficulty adjusting to being a new mother. Ben is here to help.
Preview:
Rey perfunctorily uses the refresher, careful to avoid the mirror. The steam from her recent shower swirls around and her gaze drops down and away, as she lifts her towel from the floor and wraps it around her body. Only then does she glance up, her eyes meeting her foggy reflection’s briefly, before dipping her head down and wrapping another towel around her hair.
She beelines out and softly pads to the bedroom, almost bumping into her husband in their narrow hallway on the way.
“Well, hello,” he murmurs, wrapping his arms around her waist and spinning her in a half circle. He ducks his head and captures her lips in a short, but searing kiss. She melts against his body for a brief, blissful moment, before pulling away.
“Mmm,” she mumbles her assent. “Hello. Did she go down?”
“For now,” he responds, good humouredly. “She didn’t give me too much trouble anyway.”
“Thank the Force,” Rey says on a sigh. “I’m starting to feel like a thala-siren.” An image of foamy green milk dripping from a bearded face flashes through her mind and she shudders.
“A what?” Ben asks, looking at her quizzically. It occurs to her that the mammal was likely native to the shores of Ahch-To and those who have not had the pleasure of visiting the planet would likely not know what she was talking about. She considers projecting an image to him through their bond, but decides against it. She’s certain the last thing her husband needs at this point is a visual of yet another lactating hypermammarian creature in his midst.
Instead, she just shakes her head. “You don’t want to know. Needless to say, if we can get her down to five feedings during the day and maybe one at night, I’ll be happy. And so will these guys,” she adds, palming a heavy breast in each hand through her towel and giving them a jiggle.
Ben groans out loud. “Please don’t do that to me.”
She sheepishly withdraws her hands from her tender breasts. He ducks his head to kiss under her ear, in the silky spot where a tender pulse beats. Then he continues kissing down her neck, wet, soft kisses. She gently exhales and loses herself in the moment as she twines her arms around him. His lips migrate to hers as his hands go to the knot in her towel.
“What did the medic say today?” he murmurs against her mouth as he loosens the front and starts to pull it away from her.
Rey comes back to reality with a suddenness akin to a bucket of cold water being poured over her head. She pulls away abruptly with a barely stifled gasp and tears the towel from his hands, wrapping it tighter around herself.
“Still too soon,” she manages to gasp out. “Said to wait a bit longer.” At those words, she brushes past him.
Once in the safety of their room, she quickly pulls a pair of sleep pants on under her towel and pulls one of Ben’s shirts over her head. Only then does she allow the towel to fall to the floor. Ben walks in as she’s bent over, drying her hair with the other towel. He sits at the edge of the bed and stares at her. He doesn’t speak and neither does she. Once she’s vigorously rubbed the towel through her wet hair, beyond the point of what’s necessary, she drops it to join the other one on the floor and then crawls into bed.
“Can you pass me my datapad?”
He turns to look at her and makes no move to do as she’s asked.
“Please, Ben,” she wheedles. Let it go. Please let it go. “I told Finn I’d check their trajectory for tomorrow and see if I could find him a better route than the one they’re taking. If he can avoid—"
“What’s going on, Rey?” he interrupts, impatient with her efforts to dodge the issue. He has eternally, frustratingly, been nothing if not straightforward. “Is there something you’re not telling me? Did the medic say something was—” He visibly needs to collect himself, jaw clenching, “—wrong? With the way you’re healing? It’s been over five months…” His voice trails off and he looks at her, almost pleadingly. “Talk to me.”
She responds in a visceral way to the worry and anxiety in his tone, but a knot forms in her throat at the thought of having to explain to him what, exactly, it was that was wrong with her. “Nothing. Nothing is wrong. Not like that. I just don’t – I don’t feel ready, that’s all.” She can feel her hackles rising, an innate defensiveness borne from a need to survive first and foremost at an early age, and she tries desperately to quash it before it consumes her. This is not Jakku. This is not Unkar Plutt or the other scavengers and traders. This is Ben. She can be honest with Ben. She can be herself with Ben.
Can’t she?
