Note: you do not have to be a Star Wars fan to enjoy this story! There are some references which will make the story more fun for even a casual Star Wars fan, but this story can also stand alone as its own work of fiction (while using Star Wars characters as an easy way to imagine each person).

After committing what Kylo Ren only refers to as "The Big Oops", naughty devil/demon Kylo Ren is punished for his bad deeds by God (who also happens to be Leia Organa, his mother). As punishment, Kylo Ren is trapped and bound to a ring which is hidden away on Earth. When someone wears the ring Kylo Ren is bound to serve them, that is if they can force (or convince) him to reveal himself and listen to their wishes. His only chance at escape from his imprisonment is when, according to Leia, the "right person comes along and releases you". 

Frustrated at his mother's cryptic words regarding his freedom and his ring having ended up at a thrift store at the bottom of a jewelry box for years, Kylo Ren's ring is finally picked up by a gentle and unassuming woman - Rey Dameron. Kylo finds himself instantly attached to this rather average looking woman and is (almost?) excited to be bound to her and to serve her. 

Will Kylo reveal himself to Rey so that they can get into (hopefully) some trouble together? Will Rey be willing to keep the ring once she realizes the power it holds through Kylo Ren? And will Rey begin to feel the same sort of attachment towards Kylo that he already feels towards her?

No commitment, that was the agreement. He paid to give you a decent future, you gave him a temporary escape from a high profile career and a wife who detested him. You wanted more, you thought he did too, but when the end came it was sudden and cruel. As quick and punishing as a blade to the heart. When those two pink lines appeared on the pregnancy test a few weeks later he had already moved on and you decided to raise your child alone. But years later fate brings you back into Kylo's orbit and now you have a four year old little girl and a lot of explaining to do to a man who seems more enemy than lover. -------- modern day kylo ren au. 18+. mature story with mature/dark themes that are not suited to all ages. tws are posted below and I try to include them in all chapters, however please note that there may be several triggering themes in this story, I urge you not to read if you are not comfortable with any of the following criteria.

Confronting Fear by birch_kodama

"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! 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. I do not own any of the original Lucasfilm characters. All rights reserved. Artwork belongs to kaylerinarts (seriously, check her out). Reviews and constructive criticism appreciated.
