*SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2022 WATTY AWARDS* and also a *2022 AMBY AWARD WINNER*! This story is a new hope for Ben Solo, after the end of Kylo Ren... Unbalanced without the other half of the dyad, Rey hopes for a way to reach Ben Solo after his disappearance on Exegol. The discovery of a strange book takes her back to Tatooine and other familiar locations, and soon Ben returns to a world that is working hard to rebuild itself in the wake of the Final Order's destruction. But Ben Solo has returned with the aim of fulfilling one final destiny -- one that even Rey cannot sense in him -- and when most people see him only for who he was, not who he is, he thinks that destiny will be easy to fulfil. But defenders can come from the most unexpected places... Especially when Ben Solo could be crucial when it comes to Rey's intentions for the new Jedi Order. The Force demands balance, and he was, after all, the son of a princess and a scoundrel before he was anything else... **CONTAINS SCENES OF A SEXUAL NATURE - all such chapters are clearly marked** --- Characters, names, places, historical events are the property of Disney/LucasFilm and are used here in a fan-created story in honour of the inspiration Star Wars gives to us all.

A girl searching for her place in the galaxy. A boy fighting to take control of his destiny. And the bond that runs deeper than either of them could've imagined. It's been a month since Rey began her training with Luke Skywalker. Everyone said Kylo Ren had perished along with Starkiller Base, but she knew better. She felt his presence, a nudging in the Force that pulsed with life. No matter how hard Rey tries, she can't stop thinking of him. Her captor. Those haunting dark eyes, staring into her soul, a mirror image of her own. Their souls are so different, yet the same, and she can't get him out of her head. Turns out, he can't stop thinking about her, either.

COMPLETE! Following the events of The Last Jedi, Rey and Kylo Ren continue to be connected through the Force. The new Supreme Leader struggles to balance his role as leader of the First Order with his conflicting emotions for Rey of the Resistance. Many chapters will be based and titled off of songs that inspired this story. Mature language and themes. *ARTWORK USED DOES NOT BELONG TO ME - ALL CREDIT FOR ARTWORK GOES TO ITS ARTIST. NOT MY PICTURE!*

Adamant in not making his predecessor's mistakes, Supreme Leader Kylo Ren sees the value in possessing a quiet power. He is revered as a strong, competent ruler, one that is formidable and unwavering in his commitment to serve the galaxy, eerily calm and composed... Something that flies right out the blast doors the moment he captures a maddening little scavenger named Rey. 🚨COVER ART BY @giztheskyriser (IG)🚨

COMPLETE! Now entered in the 2018 Wattys. In an alternate story line of The Force Awakens - The First Order has invaded Jakku in search of the missing BB unit and the map to Luke Skywalker. The scavenger Rey gets caught up in the fight between the Resistance and the First Order, discovering romance along the way. This is meant to be a bit more dark and mature themed. There will be plenty of mature language and sexual elements - including, but not limited to, future smut. *ARTWORK USED DOES NOT BELONG TO ME - ALL CREDIT FOR ARTWORK GOES TO ITS ARTIST.

After Crait, the Resistance is all but decimated. It will take time before they regain the strength and numbers to be anything more than an annoyance to the First Order. In the meanwhile, the Force bond between Rey and the new Supreme Leader not only continues but grows. They begin to be able to see one another's surroundings, touch things... and as the bond grows, so does their relationship. Mutual distrust becomes begrudging acceptance. Then a strange sort of friendship. And then... well... ;) Post TLJ Reylo fanfic; VERY Rey/Ben centric; will focus almost exclusively on times when the bond brings them together; A VERY patient slow burn that devotes a lot of time to character development. COMPLETE.

He smirked, he was quiet aware of the affect he had on her and hoped that in time it would be enough to switch her. They both had a struggle, with both sides pulling on them in two different directions. This fanfiction begins with the snow duel on StarKiller, but with a reylo twist... There will always be a pull between them, but will they accept it? ~~~ Characters do not belong to me; credit to George Lucas. All credit to owner for cover art.

Takes place after the Battle of Crait. Rey had almost brought back Ben Solo, but lost him when Kylo Ren offered her his hand. But he's still in there somewhere, and she's determined to find him again. She just hopes they don't kill each other first. Chronicles their story (as it would've been nice to have seen it) as they go from enemies, to friends and more. VERY SLOW BURN. But when the fuse is lit, it burns HOT!! Disclaimers **CONTAINS SMUT SCENES** The story is very REYLO focussed - so if you like Rey & Ben/Kylo its ALL about them.

A fresh recruit in the Resistance, you insist on taking your first solo mission to steal info from the First Order. Only problem is, you get caught. Unlike most of his prisoners, Kylo Ren sees the potential in you, and decided to spare your life in hopes of turning you to the Dark Side. He expected a lot of things from the Resistance, from his enemies. But you showed him something he never expected: Sympathy. Warning: - displays of violence - explicit sexual content

"You think I don't care about you?" Kylo asked, his voice breaking. "I care more about you than there are stars in the galaxy. Believe me, I nearly broke every time you screamed, every tear that rolls down your cheek makes me want to hurt someone. I wanted to go against all of my training and kill Snoke, but I didn't because I knew if I did you would die too. Aerolynn, I'm so tired of resisting it, of pretending I am stronger than my feelings for you." He said. Aerolynn Edina was a nobody from Tatooine, a forgotten planet. She has been harboring dangerous electrical powers for her whole life, she thought no one knew about them, and no one had, or so she thought... Aerolynn is kidnapped by the most feared man in the galaxy, Kylo Ren, becoming his apprentice. Can she see past his terrifying demeanor, and her own personal demons, or will she be stuck as his prisoner forever? -completed- -Sequel: Heir of the First Order- Now up! #1 in First Order& #1 in Kylo Ren June 9th: #1 in Kylo Ren tag June 5th: #1 in First Order tag June 12th: #1 in Snoke tag December 30th: #3 in Star Wars tag January 25th: #1 in Sith tag
