I think if Ben hadn’t looked so fucking happy here maybe, MAYBE, my heart wouldn’t be so freaking broken right now. And how tenderly Rey touches him….UGH EVERYTHING HURTS RIGHT NOW!
I’ve always loved the Hades/Persephone AU for Reylo. It just fits them so perfectly. Plus I’ve been re-reading PJO which put me in a major Greek mythology mood, so this is the result haha. I think I spent about 25 hours on this in total

I like to imagine them getting married on Naboo. This is the ending they both deserved. Both happy, together, and very much alive, on a beautiful planet with a beautiful future ahead of them.
Not Ben dying and the movie ending with Rey alone on another desert planet barely better off than when the trilogy started.
This was how this scene went, right? None of this dying-and-becoming-one-with-the-force business, but with everybody’s two favorite star-crossed lovers staring into each other’s eyes, and very much alive?? Yeah sounds about right.
On a side note, Ben’s smile after they kissed killed me. What a way to go, though.
Reylo! Ugh this couple just gets me right in the feels. Really wished they hadn’t killed Ben in the end. Will I do another drawing of these 2 soon? Most likely.
It’s beautiful how fanart play a crucial role in our lives, we often come to love a character/couple for the most beautiful art created by fans we find on social networks. Don’t be a beast, don’t denigrate anyone. It’s pure love!
At the moment where Sidious has both Rey and Ben on their knees and is draining them of their life force, force ghost Anakin appears between them and redirects the energy to destroy Sidious again, once and for all, thus maintaining the balance of the force embodied within the yin and yang of Rey and Ben (and also reylo never happens.)
They go on to find and train a new generation of Force sensitives.
