Rey knew Ben Solo needed her. He'd never fully succeeded in killing his past, and those cornerstones of his life dragged behind him, a weight he refused to process, to grieve, and to forgive.
That was what he needed her for. Not to stay his hand, or protect people from his destructive form of help, but when the goodness in him cracked open the seal, and his past came flooding in, threatening to drown him.
Until then, all she could do was stay beside him, which was shaping up to be more difficult than anything she'd ever done. But at least it was action. And if there was one thing she trusted Ben Solo to do well, it was hunt the enemy.

Atonement
This is a Ben Solo/OC story. I do want to be clear that I am a die hard Reylo fan but this idea came to me and I need to run with it. What if Ben had been too late? What if he couldn't have brought Rey back, where would he go? Ben finds himself back on Tatooine where it had all began but he isn't alone. Beykha Novan has taken over the Lars Moisture Farm and doesn't take kindly to strangers but something about the mysterious Ben tells her to trust him to help him. Meanwhile Finn is convinced that Kylo Ren has killed his beloved Rey and has made it mission to find Ren and kill him - no matter the cost.

To the End: Reylo {Complete}
(Originally published 2019 then I deleted May 2020 oopsies but re-published July 2024 without changing a thing) Their hands found one another anyway and the silence between them, broken only by their breathing, was something deeper and more painful than she had ever experienced. But they stayed. She knew he had something else to say-so as he held her hand, as she let it be held, as she held his in return, as he let it happen-she waited. "What about your life?" Immediately following Episode VIII, this is my idea of what might happen between Kylo and Rey. What if his own troops rise against Ben, and begin to attack the Resistance without his orders? What if Rey and Ben find themselves fighting the same enemy? The Force bond kept the other far away, but what will happen when they are forced together?Complete
Star Wars IX- Balance Of The Force
Following the events after The Last Jedi. "Just a dream, it was just a dream," she says aloud attempting to calm herself, but the feeling doesn't dissipate, and her heart is still racing. She stands and walks towards the doorway to the fresh air outside, trying to get the images out; a child her child and his. She feels sick and faint, is this a panic attack? She walks outside her hut and stands in the rain holding onto the wooden railing of the platform around the cabin tightly to give her balance. #2-Reylo 25.11.2018, 24.10.19 #1- ReyxKyloRen 1.3.2019, 6.1.22 #2- starwarsfanfiction 31.12.19 #13- starwars 21.8.19 #2- starwarssequels 10.12.20 Big fan of the movies and books. I am a massive Reylo shipper- #Reyloisendgame, but there is nothing mature rated or not appropriate for say 12-year-old plus. I do not own the original star wars characters. I do not own the artwork throughout, except the art on the note from myself which is mine. The cover is by Heidi Hastings. "I appreciated how much you fleshed out the story, truly making it a potential movie in the franchise. I can't not mention the romance. You truly made Ben and Rey's relationship believable on many levels. From his temper and passion to his devotion to Rey, I loved how you didn't make light of his past so that we can accept him easier. They complete each other and their love brings balance to the universe and gives them what they have always wanted - true acuhceptance and companionship." "I have not encountered anything so truly amazing since 'Bloodline' (Claudia Grey)." "I have read so much fanfiction, normally I don't read smutless stories, but this one is so well written, beautiful ending and I couldn't stop today until I finished it." "This is one of, if not the best Reylo books I have read so far."Complete

After TROS Reylo+Stormpilot What if the Force Dyad between Rey and Ben was enough to save them both? The war had always been about Rey and Kylo Ren from the very start. Ben and Rey leave Exogul, and the past behind them to start a new order of force users, and a new life together. Meanwhile on the side Poe, Finn, and Rose, have their own stories to figure out...

Confronting Fear
"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. 11/9/20 #1 in Palpatine #2 in Reylofanfiction 11/24 #37 in Reylo 12/14/20 Almost 9k reads, y'all are the best #61 in Star Wars (out of 26k!) #1 in reylofanfiction #1 in greyjedi 5/2/21 #3 in Reylo I am completely blown away by you all! 5/6/21 #1 in Reylo you all are awesome!

Captive: A Mini Reylo Fic
Over the past year, Ben has changed considerably, becoming disillusioned by the First Order and implementing a plan to end the war with the Resistance as its victors. Now, ready to execute the last step of his plan, he has to confront Rey once again. Unfortunately, she has her own opinions about his lofty plan. In this story, it turns out Snoke wasn't lying and he really did create the connections between Kylo Ren and Rey in "The Last Jedi." (Note: This also means there was no Force connection between them on Crait since Snoke was dead by then.) So, there is no Force bond and there's no special link between the two of them. But...that doesn't mean they weren't profoundly affected by the experience. Excerpt: He knew the moment she noticed him, felt it like a stab to his core through the Force. He saw the fierce determination in her eyes and he tried to match it, but was certain he failed. All he could feel was sorrow. The tempo of his steps increased as he covered the ground toward her. He watched as she turned her body toward him, bringing her magnificent dual-bladed, bright white lightsaber to bear, her lips pulling back in a vicious sneer as she sought what she had yet to realize he was here to offer her willingly. Deflecting one last bolt and seeing her raise her weapon with the start of a battle cry intended to lend her extra strength, Ben thumbed his lightsaber off and dropped to his knees at her feet, his head bowed and his eyes closed. Do it, he thought desperately. End me. End my misery.Complete
Redemption: A Reylo Story
What would you do for the person you loved? Would you denounce everything you stood for? Would you stand against the most powerful darkness in the galaxy? This is the story of Ben and Rey, sworn enemies brought together by the Force, but united by love. This is the story of how a person's destiny can extend beyond their death to finally receive redemption and of how no one is ever really gone. Not completely canon. Many places, animals, humanoid species and precious metals are of my own invention. WARNING: There are three mature sexual scenes in this book. I always warn the reader in the author's note if the next chapter is mature so the reader has the option to skip that chapter. There are no important plot points contained in these chapters. I do not own Star Wars or any of the franchise characters. Artwork in my chapters is absolutely beautiful but does not belong to me. This book was copyrighted July 2020.

//~Part 1 of the Shattered Secret Dyad~\\ ((TW: Pregnancy..... started this at the age of 14 back in 2015 so please bear with me)) ---------- "It's the secrets that we keep that seem to destroy the world around us," I say, hoping my fear was well hidden.

Find The Balance
A/N hey guys if you haven't checked out this story yet there is a newer version called a Fallen Knight it's basically this story but much better check it out. Or heck read them both. Either way enjoy loves This is my first story! Please go easy on me. "Kylo don't go" she didn't know what else to say but she felt that if he left now they would never speak again. And as much as she had pushed him away, the reality was that she was drawn to him more and more each day. She knew she needed a teacher, but deep in her heart she knew she needed him for more than that. This takes place 6 months after TLJ. Rey and Kylo are trying to understand their connection, but it's much harder than either of them can understand. Hux is of course a weasel and Poe and Finn, well I'll let you guys decide. It's complete!!Complete
My Love, My Bonded
"I wanted to join you," Rey said, tears dripping from her face. "Then why didn't you?" Menace crept from Kylo Ren's voice as he turned to make deathly eye contact with her. "You know why!" "Enlighten me," he threatened, though it sounded like a plea. "It wasn't our time, Ben, you know that." Rey's voice shook a little. "When is our time?" Kylo's voice became lighter. "You already know the answer to that," she sniffled. *** The Force knew Rey was to be in Kylo Ren's life just as Kylo was to be in Rey's. However, both individuals prayed and hoped for very different outcomes. Rey wanted nothing more than to bring Kylo Ren back to the Light. She wanted to show him the wonders it provided and the life they could have if he returned to her. Kylo wanted to bring her to the Dark Side. He wanted to rule with his bride by his side. The Force was the only one who truly knew what the future held. *notes: -this is set after the last jedi but before the rise of skywalker. some things have been changed to better fit my story -there will be descriptions of violence, self harm and alcohol. i will not be putting warnings unless deemed necessary as i am stating here what to expect from the story -i will be editing this as i go along and because of that, some chapters might be reposted to fit the edits i made -of course, these are not my characters! if i use artwork, the artist will always be credited. -enjoy❤️ and feel free to comment your opinions! i appreciate you!! :) rankings i'm proud of: 1 in #rey - october 10, 2021 1 in #thelastjedi - october 10, 2021 1 in #reylo - november 10, 2021 1 in #kyloren - october 12, 2021 1 in #bensolo - february 14, 2022Complete
