{2017 1ST PLACE WINNER OF STAR WARS SHIPS REYLO CONTEST} The Resistance has failed. Newly appointed Jedi Knight Rey Kenobi discovers herself caught amidst the galaxy's greatest defeat as the First Order crushes every seething support of the heart of the rebellion- all except Rey. Alone and desperate to survive, her unalterable enslavement to the First Order bestows her a much more peculiar proposition- the orchestration of a marriage between the Jedi and her nemesis Kylo Ren. Merely a breeder for the First Order and her husband, Rey combats the darkness shrouding her prison until she discovers light shines just as surely from her sworn lover alongside an unfathomable gentleness and care. However, Rey soon learns that to gift one's heart to another results in the vulnerability of inexorable ties, and no matter the unforgivable betrayal the man, who she offers her love, compels her to endure, she will carry a piece of Kylo Ren inside her nonetheless. {Not your average Reylo baby fic} A canon compliant, multi-chapter homage to love, loss, betrayal... and how we mold the fabrics of ourselves in each of these things.

He's cocky and for good reason. He's spent his entire life being told that he's a hockey prodigy and he knows that he's on the path to his destiny. Then Elle Monroe shows up, and throws off his entire plan. Elle - the daughter of his coach - is loud, rude, confident, and gets a special kick out of knocking Scott down a peg or two. Scott doesn't want to accept the help she's offering, but eventually he does, and it turns into a lot more than he was expecting. Scott isn't used to a lot of things, but there's one especially that he's never prepared for: a beautiful, loud girl stealing his jersey every day before their practices.

Emma van der Bilt is clever, snarky, and spoiled rotten. William Knight is cocky, impatient, and slightly dimwitted. So how exactly did Will manage to kidnap Emma and her best friend twice and live to talk about it? *** "What the hell-" I screeched. "Good morning, sunshine." I looked up in alarm and saw the smirking face of my kidnapper. His face would have made me a lot angrier had it not been terribly swollen, thanks to yours truly. "I'd say good morning, but judging by the boner on your face, I'd say you weren't having such a good morning." His self-satisfied smirk fell almost instantly, and his partner-in-crime laughed out loud from the driver's seat. "Actually," he said, "I'm having a pretty good morning. My luck's about to change. You wanna know why?" I didn't answer. "I'll tell you why. I've successfully kidnapped the daughter of one of the richest men in the country." "Don't start counting your lucky stars just yet. This isn't over yet," I snapped. "Isn't it?" he asked, raising the eyebrow above his good eye. His other one remained in a permanent squint, and it made it kind of hard to take him seriously. "I'm not the one who's naked and tied up in a stranger's back seat." I glanced down at myself and noticed for the first time that I was in my bra and panties. Honestly, I was kind of relieved. When he'd said "naked," I'd assumed he meant birthday-suit naked, not half-naked. *** Warning: Rated PG-13 for sexual content and language. Mostly language. I have a colorful vocabulary.
