"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.

#3 in Reylo I am completely blown away by you all!

5/6/21 #1 in Reylo you all are awesome!

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.

"We've passed on all we know. A thousand generations live in you now, but this is your fight." A familiar voice, Luke's, whispers. Luke Skywalker stands net to R2-D2 the sky around him burns shades of orange, yellow and red and behind him a Jedi temple burns. Kylo feels his father's hand upon his face the watched as his father falls into the abyss. "Your journey nears its end." A sinister voice now whispers, and a flash of blue light reveals a fleet of Imperial Star Destroyers filling the vastness of space as blue fire leaps between them. A powerful red laser of an unseen weapon obliterates the surface of a planet. Shrieks, whispers and screams and then the sound of a lightsaber igniting. A fiery red saber but behind that saber is Rey, her hand twitches and the saber becomes a double-pronged staff. A maniacal evil laugh cackles. Kylo woke with a start and sat upright on his bed. Written after the first trailer dropped and finished before the film was released. Contains references to previous films, novelisations and comics. I'm a Reylo shipper but there will be no major smut- one additional slightly adult chapter at the end of the book. #Bendemption #Reyloisendgame #1-starwarsfanfiction 25.12.19 #1- Dyad 4.5.20 (May the 4th be with you) #1-Bendemption 4.4.20 #17- Reylo 25.8.20 #1-episode iv 30.11.20 #2- reylofanficyion 6.1.22 'This is legit my favourite reylo fan fiction OMG it's so in character and like literally perfect for episode 9 I'm dying this is amazing.' 'You definitely did justice to this story, so much warmth and hope at the end.' 'Why couldn't Rise of Skywalker be just THIS?? This story is miles better than what we got. This was wonderful and healed so many wounds inflicted by that movie. Thank you so much for sharing this. Your hard work is much appreciated!'
