book i of a fallen star series || a kylo ren fanfiction
Renouncing her heritage and family bloodline, Ryn Kenobi is on a mission for answers and revenge. All alone, her father, mother, and grandfather are all dead, and her twin sister was lost long ago with slim hopes of the two being reunited.
Obi-Wan's secret granddaughter is much more powerful than any Jedi to live, making her dangerous not only to others but herself too. The Resistance is in dire need of someone as powerful as Ryn, making her a valuable asset to the First Order to use against them. Leia, her godmother, has her on The Resistance's radar but has unsuccessfully been able to get a hold of her.
She rejected fighting in the war long ago, her grandfather protecting her from the dangers of the galaxy, right until his demise. Instead, he trained her ferociously, making her powerful and ruthless.
But, after growing up and learning more of her family's dark past, Ryn is growing increasingly restless, angry and thirsty for revenge.
The lines between Light and Dark are starting to blur for Ryn, making her a threat to herself and the war. Kylo Ren has been searching for her for a long time, and when he finally gets to her, she isn't what he expected. Strong, brutal, dark and damaged, she doesn't seem hard to turn, much more useful than bait. He trains her into a soldier, a warrior, a leader, someone who knows what to fight for. But as Kylo's internal conflict with Ben Solo continues, he allows himself to slip and fall for her. But does she feel the same? Is she too clouded by her own anger and intentions to see that life isn't all about bloodlust and vengeance?
..........
before ya'll attack me, the timeline is completely different from star wars just so the plot can work so don't come for me, okay?
also, my new nickname is ryn bc it kinda comes from my name so ha that's funny. i just thought it was a cool name for the character.
"When I offer you my hand again, you'll take it."
What if Kylo Ren had been right?
What if Rey had taken Kylo Ren's hand when he offered it the second time, deciding her best chance at defeating Palpatine and saving the galaxy was with him?
But can the two of them overcome their differences and mistrust of each other to accomplish that task or will pride win out?
And then there is a certain group of meddling Force Ghosts determined to test them to their fullest.
Meanwhile, Finn has a destiny of his own to fulfill chasing visions of his past across the galaxy. Poe buries himself in work as he tries to forget his failures and forge ahead. Leia attempts to cement her legacy and ensure the future of the galaxy.
This fanfic explores a different ending to TROS starting at about the halfway point, when Kylo reveals the truth about Rey in the hangar. It will focus mainly on their story but there will be significant plot arcs that focus on Finn, Poe, Leia, and others.
There will be a few augmentations to the earlier story, but I have tried to stay true to the plot up until this point, except for the 16 hr deadline Palpatine gave them. His threat was open ended in my version.
This will contain mature and graphic content.

I'm starting to move away from canon compliance and adopting some items from the EU but with a heavy dose of artistic license.
Early chapters are ~1000 words, later are over 3000.
