One night. One mistake. Funny how something so seemingly insignificant can change so much. Ben and Rey learn that the hard way. 

After years without contact, they have to somehow figure out how to start anew and heal all of their wounds. 

It's hard, but forgiveness is always a good beginning.

Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars. Obviously.

Also the title comes from the song Shake it Out by Florence + the Machine.

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."

"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, 2022
