After watching "The Rise of skywalker" , many of us have wondered what would have happened if Ben Solo had lived. Would he have been caught and imprisoned? Would he have been sentenced to die, or rather shown mercy? Or would he have begun a new jedi order with Rey? Those things were left to our minds to imagine.
Either way, I think it would have been a hard fate for him, given his conflicted nature and what he had done.
Here is my version of the story. I'll try to make it look less like a fanfiction, and more like real star wars content.
Ben had made it out alive after the Battle of Exegol. But after all the crimes he did, and after the justice the resistance has sought to bring to the galaxy, he knows just too well he would not be allowed to live a peaceful life again, so he is forced to live in exile.
Him and Rey are back on Takodana, hidden in the deep forests of the green planet.
But the worst hasn't come yet: after their Force is drained by the Emperor, after they give a great part of themselves to save each other, something strange happens: neither of them can feel the force anymore.
The question is, will those acts be the last we have seen of them?
With the New Empire rising again to power, led by the ruthless General Pryde and guided by another dark entity, and the resistance being shadowed by revenge on Kylo Ren, Rey and Ben are the only light that remains in the Galaxy.
They are the ones said to bring the balance, so they must focus on the Force. But will they ever feel it again? And with the strange feelings that occur between them, will they find the path to the Light, or go astray from it as Ben's grandfather did in the past for the same reason?
Solos, Palpatines or Skywalkers... It does not matter, they're all pawns of a dirty game over the Force.

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?
