Do you know of any recency or Knight/king Reylo fics?

Absolutely! Now, I don’t read a lot of regency fics really but I certainly know of a lot of popular ones – I’ll split this between fics I’ve read and ones I have not. If I remember anything particularly of note about any of them I’ll jot that down as well.

regency/knight/king fics I’ve read

black knight, white queen – an absolute classic, rey is a ward/heir and kylo is, well, the black knight…

crown & duty – game of thrones mashup, ben is king of seven kingdoms – and rey is his hand 

primae noctis – not a king, but a baron. more of a medieval setting and I liked it, but watch the warnings if you have certain sensitivities 

kingdom of crystals – more of a fantasy/medieval setting but still fits the bill!

inheritance of the resistance – another classic, we get jealous ben! who is he jealous of? his dad! don’t worry though, it’s not like that.

the desert rose – not quite what you had in mind I suppose, but he is a knight – think arabian nights and harems

sustenance – LISTEN okay so I may have started reading this for the lactation kink, but it is a full fledged victorian/regency AU complete with prodigal son Captain Ben Solo returning to the estate. It’s very very good.

ones I haven’t read

force & force ability – I will give you two guesses what this one is like! and the first one doesn’t count XD

rainfall – described as a jane austen fusion and rey’s last name is darling so I think this probably suits your needs

the beast within – seems interesting, but a darker take so maybe not quite on point

I hope these are a good start for you! =)

Z: a randomly chosen song

I hit shuffle play on my library and the first thing that popped up was rey meets bb-8 from tfa…it knows. anyway here’s the second one lol

thank you for the ask =)

send me a letter and i’ll recommend you a song

B, r, and w for song ask! ^_^

B: a song to listen to before you go to sleep

Ok, so The Weepies are maybe my favorite band, so I couldn’t resist recommending their stuff – I find them incredibly soothing so I feel this suits well.

R: a song that I’ve listened to lots of times recently


W: a song with an amazing music video

I really hate music videos in general so I don’t have a lot to choose from, so take this iconic one as tribute:

Do you have the quote where jj abrams says that star wars is an optimistic world and he wants to steer star wars especially the romance in a different direction. He also says that star wars is a fairy tale in the same interview.

Hey there! The fairy tale stuff from JJ was all from the director’s commentary on TFA. Transcription copied from this gifset.

We looked at it like […] a fairy tale. What are the elements that you’re going to see that makes it this genre, this specific genre? […] You’re probably going to have a castle, and a prince and a princess, if you’re looking at a fairy tale. We wanted to give these fundamental, not cosmetic, but prerequisite elements.

— J.J. Abrams, The Force Awakens director commentary

And then the optimistic world stuff was from a podcast from THR, documented in an article here.

“To me, the important thing was not, ‘What are the bones of this thing?’ To me, it was meeting new characters who discover themselves that they are in a universe that is spiritual, that is optimistic and in a world where you meet people that will become your family.”

And then he also talks about romance in a French interview before TFA, detailed here.

Quizzed about the possibility of on-screen romance, he said: ”No doubt, even if I already know I want to approach this project in a different way … We’re only in the initial stages [of making the film] and it’s difficult to talk about it other than to say it’s very exciting.”

Maybe there was some other interview where he talked about all of them at once, but those are the instances I remember vividly!

Hey! Own those 1300 words/that scene you just wrote. You did it and I’m very proud of you. *hug* Keep up the good work, but remember also to be gentle with yourself and your writing. You’re doing a wonderful job. <3 –thewinterreylo

THANK YOU =) I appreciate it, and lord knows I needed it. Celebrate the successes, don’t dwell on the failures – and don’t turn successes into failures like me! 

Now if I could just say that every day and live in, we’d all be alright! But for tonight, I’m with you. I wrote 1300 words! I am proud =D
