"Ben, BEN! Why are you doing this?"
"I have to"
"I see under the sheet of darkness that has fallen upon you, come back before it's too late!"
"It already is too late. Goodbye, Rey."
Then Rey felt herself fall into a deep, un-peaceful, and dark sleep. Kylo Ren slowly glided away from her unconscious form. A tear, although invisible from the rest of the universe underneath his mask, fell down his cheek. Kylo Ren left the scene of the massacre, where he had just murdered dozens of former fellow Jedi padawans, at the academy his uncle had established. He didn't look back, for he knew that if he did, he would totally break...he would be torn apart.
Please note that this story STARTS in the time while Kylo Ren/Ben is at the Jedi Academy and that this story was written directly after The Force Awakens! It does not include ANY of TLJ or TROS canon, please be aware of this as you read. Also I wrote this like 3 or 4 years ago, excuse my grammar mistakes. Yes, I know they're there. No, I will not be fixing them, I'm too lazy for that.

I (obviously) do not own Star Wars, only characters that I may create...this is a REYLO fanfiction, so if you do not appreciate or if you dislike this match up, please do not read! I wish not to receive hate! Please forgive me if there are some inaccuracies in here that may not EXACTLY follow the canon Star Wars Universe. I hope you all enjoy my writing!
Regards,
M.J.
"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.

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.
