{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.

With Kylo Ren's darkness encasing her like a safeguard -a dark swirling mass of power with the density of deep space- Rey's bright gold Force-essence exploded to life with the radiant illumination of solar flares and stars. Luke's face shot back to his groaning nephew. Kylo's Force aura had visibly changed too. He was still enveloped by thick blanketing shadows, but they seemed well under his control now. They ebbed and wove around him, moving with him, rather than against him. Luke blinked in disbelief but It was unmistakable; Within Kylo Ren's dark aura of swirling shadows were sparks and flakes of Rey's golden light and together they spiraled as one thriving solar system of both the light and dark. Rey recovered first and she half dragged herself to Ren. Unsure of what would happen next, Luke stood stead fast in his curiosity as the girl stumbled to her knees before his nephew who was still cradling his head between his forearms, his screams only just dying down to muffled whimpers. She reached out towards the Dark sider, her hand hesitating nervously within the space between them. -Her fingers twitching, her lungs tight, and then, she shakily placed it on his trembling arm. Instantly he stilled under her touch, his body calming in response to her contact. The Force between where skin met skin, visibly glowed. It wasn't just darkness. Nor just light. It was something new. Something born between the two. As if lightning had struck Luke where he stood, enlightenment filled the old Jedi's eyes and the passage he'd forgotten so long ago, came back to him all at once; "First comes the day Then comes the night. After the darkness Shines through the light. The difference, they say, Is only made right By the resolving of the grey Through refined Jedi sight." -Journal of the Whills, 7:477 Highest Rankings: #2 StarWars #1 Knights of Ren #1 Kylo Ren #2 Adam Driver #2 Rey #1 ForceBond #3 Reylo Thanks to all of you wonderful readers out there !!!
