*POST TLJ*

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.

Our Little Secret (Kylo Ren x Reader) by borninthewronggalaxy

You were a member of the Resistance against the First Order. The night your camp was discovered and raided was a moment that would scar you for the rest of your life. You were brought back to Starkiller base to be interrogated about details of the Resistance's plan, and everyday was torture. Eventually though, life on Starkiller started to seem a little more bearable when you met an unexpected ally... Kylo Ren. But it always had to be a secret. Your little secret. Notes: - My writing has improved a lot since writing this fic lol but still, I hope you enjoy! - I do not own any of the characters from the Star Wars universe

The Daughter of Reylo by Blair678

She was abandoned. Left in the orphanage, with nothing from her parents but a name and a necklace. They had no choice. They had responsibilities, not only to each other, but to their sides of the war. Then, one day, they found her, and everything changed. - Okay, I have a few things to say. 1- this was based off of TFA, and contradicts a lot of things in TLJ. Just go with it 2- I don't actually own Star Wars. I know, startling 3- haha I can't actually write 4- I need friends 5- My writing progressively gets better about halfway in so I know it starts of rough but it ends up a little bit less rough

My Love, My Bonded by its-kira

"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

P.W.B. by johannaistrash

He didn't expect her to stay ... she never stayed . She would wake up before him or kick him out . She never stayed . But here she was, checking her newsfeed as she laid in the bed with black sheets and a big University sweater that belonged to him. But he shouldn't be shocked ... they were P.W.B. Connect the dots ! ~Reylo AU~ •••Original Characters by George Lucas ••• *** all art goes to rightful*** • Rated M for Mature ; mature language, sexual situations <Friends with Benefits AU>

Bonded by PresidentSputs

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.

Fixing Him // Reylo // Completed by s0ftsuga

Everything was fine when the familiar feeling blurred out until all that could be heard was the balancing feeling of the force and a .. sigh. "You." Bens eyes traveled around my face. "Ben. What do you want?" ◇ ☆ ✖︎ ☆ ◇ ✰ After the events of TLJ ✰ Maturity Warning : Language / Sexual Situations / Rape Cenario / Violence and other. ✰ Original Characters and Star Wars episodes do not belong to me. ✰ Fan art and book cover picture does not belong to me. ✰ Each chapter has a word count of 1500 to 2500 words.
