I'm a huge fan of Star Wars, it's like "I've been in this fight since I was 6 years old." and because i know the stories of the expanded universe. Ididn't want to risk the thought of Rey and Kylo's romance be a possability, i knew they tried to creat something diferent from what the fans knew, so the possibility of them bieng siblings was almost zero. Then i read the TFW novelisation and i thought reylo is possible, but... I don't know... Star Wars never had a problem with making awkward cenes between related characters.
And i know Star Was is, at heart, a fairy tale that is chock-full of classic themes. ero, quest, loss of innocence, love, hate, redemption, good vs. evil, it has everything, the thing i love the most is this dense characters that have so many layers and are so complex and you join their journey to redemption.
But then i'm afraid to get my hopes too height, and be desapointed. But after Last Jedi and the direction that Rian Johnson gave to the triology i have HOPE. "Hope is like the sun. If you only believe in it when you can see it, you'll never make it through the night.".
So i really hope the skywalker's family finally bring balance to the force, and it would be a horrible ending if they didn't redeemed Ben Solo, c'mon he didn't even do a 1/5 of what Darth Vader has done, and he was redeamed. And it would be awful if no one of the skywalker family survived.
So until the Last Jedi novilasation and the episode 9 is out i have to feed this hope with fanfics and i'm really loving yours. And i hope you continue posting new chapters. I really like the explanation you gave to their force bound and how you are exploring Kylo/Ben personality and temperament, and how mature Rey has become.
Sorry for the long post and thank you for your fantastic story.
