What is the difference between Luke and Leia’s bond with Rey and Ben?

A great question – I had to explain this to my friend as well, because it can be a bit confusing.

Basically, what Luke and Leia have is essentially Telepathy, meaning the ability to communicate with their minds. Because they are both incredibly strong in the Force AND twins, they have a natural ease of communication – Luke can call out to Leia and she can hear him (Cloud City), and of course in TLJ as well. However it’s mostly just ‘simple’ things like that – they probably can read each others’ thoughts a bit easier than others as well, when they’re physically present, but ultimately they’ve only been able to say a few words or get a ‘call’ out to the other.

Kylo Ren is also very very good at this – it’s how he reads Rey’s mind (and uses it in interrogations) – and it’s this skill that eventually snaps the bond into place in that interrogation with Rey when she flips the table on him.

On the other hand, what Rey and Kylo have now is what’s called a Force Bond. I can get into kind of the EU use and explanation, but I’ll stick to what we know of it in canon (this movie) which is: they project to each other, can see the other, can have full on conversations – and as the bond grew, they could physically manifest and touch each other.

We see from Luke’s sacrifice that you can’t just astral project yourself across the galaxy to talk to people without a great sacrifice (as Kylo says, the effort would kill you). And yet, with the bond, Kylo and Rey do it multiple times a day with no strain on their powers or bodies.

Things (like rain and the blaster bolt) affect them as if they are there, and they can physically touch one another. That’s so beyond telepathy and anything that Luke & Leia have.

What Kylo & Rey have is Force-made and very unusual – so unusual, that Kylo had no idea what it was and it’s documented that he was a scholar of the Jedi 😉 

He was very curious about it, because it was new to him – if it was just standard telepathy he would have been much more comfortable early on.

Do you know of any NSFW fics with “inappropriate use of lightsabers”?

The only one I’ve ever read with it is in my fic, beauty of a secret. Specifically, chapter 8. While it’s a multi chapter, you don’t really have to read all of it if you’re just in for the kink – the story makes sense, but each chapter/smut will make sense stand alone. I still laugh when I think about the comments on that chapter and the reactions to it, lol.

And I saw this in the tag and haven’t read it yet, but I know it’ll be good and appropriate is the force arranges a honeymoon by @terapid. Technically it’s the sequel to a fic, so again it’s recommend you read the first one but if you’re not picky about things making sense then go for it.

SIDE NOTE, I went to the Ao3 tag for it and got really sidetracked by the fact that out of 59 works for it, only 4 were Reylo – the rest are Kylo/Reader and Original FEMALE Character which just irritated me cause it feels like they’re from antis who are writing reylo-but-not-reylo. I know that’s not true for some of them, but LKJSDLFKNEWR,FNM.

Prompt idea: Reylo at a karaoke bar. Little tipsy, Ben/Kylo is shy at first. Idk I just really want them to sing.

and sing they shall! I hope I did this alright, anon. Enjoy! I certainly did, listening to all the songs =)

The group of five walked into the bar nestled between a pizza café and sushi restaurant. The song blasting through the surround sound speakers made Kylo instantly want to leave, but he saw Rey and Finn immediately start to laugh and dance as the guy in the front sang. Watching them bop and giggle, he sighed deeply, running a hand through his hair to calm himself.

“Come on, Kylo!” Rey said to him as she gripped his hand and pulled him deeper into the bar, “You want the moooves like Jagger, I got the moooves like Jagger! Let’s put on a showww.”

She was doing most of the work as she sang along and raised his arm up and down, and Kylo just watched her with an endearing expression – he hated places like this, but she had talked him into it the way she had so many other things. And watching her face light up as Finn and Poe shimmied down the walkway, Rose following good naturedly, to grab a booth was worth whatever annoyance he had to endure.

Kylo walked next to Rey and put his arm around her shoulders as they walked to the bar to get the first round going, she leaned against the counter, still singing.

“Maybe you should pace yourself, love – we’ll be here all night,” Kylo smirked at her, knowing he was winding her up.

“So watch and learn, I won’t show you twice, head to toe, ohh baby rub me right,” she purred at him and despite the energy in the bar he felt heady, leaning down to kiss her firmly on the lips. Her head tilted as she begged him for more with her lips, lost in their own world.

A throat cleared, “Can I help you two?” and they pulled away, Kylo barely sparing a glance for the bartender as he ordered a round of beers and shots of tequila. Rey smacked him on the chest lightly.

“Kylo, that was a bit rude, you know better,” she admonished him and he shrugged.

“I’m here for you and not to be pleasant with bartenders,” Rey sighed as she had a thousand times, but still she stood on her tip toes and pressed a kiss against his cheek.

“Love you,” was all she said – and Kylo felt a deep need to pull her away and go somewhere quiet, as he always did when she openly showed him affection. She was the reason he endured places like this, no matter how good the company was.

“Here you guys go,” the bartender interrupted, making Rey jump up and grab the beer bottles before heading to the table, leaving Kylo to pay and carry the shots behind her.

It turned out, Rose and Rey were quite the karaoke duo; Kylo watched as Rey bounced around on the stage, singing Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off. Despite himself, he found himself bopping to the beat, returning Rey’s big smile as she saw him.

“I never took you for a Taylor Swift fan, Kylo,” Poe said to him from across the booth, and Kylo shrugged at the pilot that stared at him in surprise. Rey’s friends were polite, but only ever tolerated Kylo because of how much she loved him; a fact he was distinctly aware of, though he didn’t mind it.

“I’m a Rey fan,” he told him, watching the surprise that flicked across his face before he held a beer bottle out in response. Kylo genuinely smiled at that, knowing that regardless of how he got along with them, they still had that in common.

As the night wore on, Finn and Poe singing rendentions of B-52s Love Shack and Rose surprising everyone with a free style version of Baby Got Back, Kylo was 4 shots and a few beers deeper than any of the others.

“Come on, Kylo! Please? One song,” Rey begged him and fluttered her eyelashes, slightly tipsy, but far better off than he was. He had just now recovered from her shockingly accurate version of Kesha’s Tik Tok, and didn’t know how she was expecting him to continue with that vibe. “You don’t have to do a traditional song, they have all sorts of them – choose one for me?”

Her smile, as always, was what convinced him to drag his ass to the song selector and browse the songs. It wasn’t his style to go for the standard karaoke songs, knowing he would look like a fool either way and so chose something for Rey. He knew she would love it, had heard her listening to it so much that he wouldn’t even have to look at the lyrics.

Taking a swig of water, he gripped the microphone tightly, trying to breathe through the nerves as the opening chords to Ed Sheeran’s Perfect began. Rey looked at him in surprise and then shock as he started singing,

I found a love for me
Darling just dive right in
And follow my lead

Kylo had never sang for her, but it was clear he hadn’t lost his touch as the bar got noticeably more quiet as he transitioned into the bridge.

Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home

Kylo poured perhaps an unnecessary amount of emotion into the song, at least as far as he was concerned for a karaoke bar, but as so often was with Rey, his world narrowed to only her when she looked at him. And she was, with a contemplative expression, knowing the song meant far more than just something he randomly chose. Kylo had done this for her, he was out at a loud karaoke bar, singing Ed Sheeran, for her. He watched her leave the booth and walk up to stand in front of him as the song wrapped up.

Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don’t deserve this
You look perfect tonight

As the last sentence left his lips and leaned down to kiss her, unable to resist the temptation as always, letting her know – in case she wasn’t aware – that he meant every word. He heard cheers from her friends behind them, overpowering a few whoops from strangers as his hand cradled her head. She pulled away and he heard a sniffle and cursed slightly, putting the microphone back and pulling her away from peoples’ eyes.

“Sweetheart, are you okay?” He knew she wasn’t, as his thumbs swiped a few tears that had escaped, but he was trying more and more to ask instead of assume, as she said.

Sniffling, she nodded, “Yeah, I’m okay – I just-” she didn’t finish the sentence as she walked into him and hugged him tightly. “I love you, Kylo. So much it scares me.”

He let out a shuddering breath as his arms held her tight, wrapped around her entire body; his head rested against her own as he cradled it to his chest. “I know, believe me I know.”

They stood there for a long time, Kylo sobering up in the reality of the situation, holding her as long as she wanted. Eventually she moved to pull away and he smiled at her, “I love you, too, you know. We can be scared together.”

At that, Rey cracked a smile and let out a laugh before nodding over to the booth, “Come on, before we start a scandalous rumor.”

“Too late for that,” he snickered, remembering the trivia night a few weeks ago, and Finn’s aghast expression as he had walked into the alley for some air and caught them.

Rey smacked his chest and he smiled as he slid into the booth.

“Dang Kylo, didn’t know you sang so well – we should keep you around,” Rose’s voice chirped.

“I doubt we have much choice in the matter, I think Rey’s fairly addicted,” Poe replied with a wink, laughing as it elicited a blush.

They spent another hour there, mostly just listening to other people and singing along as they wound down for the night. Towards the end of the night, Rey leaned in to whisper in Kylo’s ear, “We should do a duet, do you want to?”

Kylo watched her hopeful expression, eyes glittering with alcohol and a good time, and just nodded. She clapped and pulled him out.

“I know what we should do,” he said, surprising her. “You know that movie you like so much? With John Travolta?”

Rey laughed, “You mean Grease?”

He nodded and continued, “Let’s do that last song, do you know what it’s called?”

Scoffing and not even bothering to answer, she walked to the computer and selected the song. He handed her a microphone and smirked at her still-stunned expression, she mouthed to him, I can’t believe you’re doing this.

He shrugged with a smile as the beats and piano started and he sang, “I got chillllllls, they’re multiplying, and I’m losing control – cause the power you’re supplying. It’s electrifying!”

Rey had a big grin on her face as he tried to mimic Danny’s mannerisms, but she schooled her face as she started singing –

You better shape up, cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up, you better understand
To my heart I must be true

He nodded, Nothing left, nothing left for me to do

You’re the one that I want, you are the one I want
Oo-oo-oo honey

Even Kylo was smiling as he heard their friends singing along, a song that has stood the test of time even in their world. He took her hand and swayed them back and forth to the beat before they separated and she crooned the next verse.

If you’re filled with affection
You’re too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction
Feel your way

He shook his head as he stepped towards her and they sang a conversation that perhaps was a bit too real for karaoke, but Kylo was never known for his lack of intensity.

I better shape up, cause you need a man
I need a man who can keep me satisfied
I better shape up if I’m gonna prove
You better prove that my faith is justified
Are you sure?
Yes, I’m sure down deep inside.

They opened it back up to see Finn, Rose, and Poe dancing with each other as they sang the chorus, Kylo pulling her in to press against him as they danced.

You’re the one that I want, Kylo imploring with his eyes as she laughed and nodded, Yes indeed.

What is the beauty of the secret about ?? You didn’t really post a summary or concept on Ao3 ?

Well, I kind of did – the summary is:

It’s normal for padawans and their teachers to become close, but the Council hadn’t expected this turn of events – nor what the future would become because of it. 

And then the prologue’s notes basically explains further (along with all the tags):

This is a story that is for the express purpose of writing smut. If I was capable of writing unconnected one shots I might have just done that, but I am not. I need an actual story – and because it is me, that story will also be a bit angsty at times.

I am working through the kink list that we voted on, ordering the most popular kinks in our fandom. The goal is to get to as many as I can – I won’t write some of them, or can’t because of the story, but I’ll get to most of them.

It was a simple set up – Ben is her teacher, she’s his Jedi Padawan (student) – and of course, them being them they can’t not be drawn together right? So the story moves from there, it is an alternate universe with canon themes.

So as the summary kind of hints at, we’ll see what the future becomes because of their secret~

hey there! can we tag reylosource in our reylo edits? i’m new to the reylo tumblr fandom (became a fully fledged reylo after tlj, bless that film). i’m a multifandom blog but starting to make reylo edits and i’d love to get my stuff out there for fellow reylos to enjoy. i don’t have many followers (my tumblr is relatively new), so it would mean a lot if i could get my stuff “out there” somehow. i’m just wondering if you track a certain tag or something like that, i know some blogs do. thank you!

Yes you totally can add a ‘reylosource’ tag to your posts. I track that along with the general reylo ones. Sometimes I’ll add them to my queue though, so they may not shoot out instantly. Just depends on my mood and the timing with which I see it! =)

Excited to see what you come up with for us! =DD

Oops, sorry, my english is still not very fluent o(╥﹏╥)o I meant a fic where Rey really enjoys food and eats in that adorable way of hers and Ben probably has something to say about it.

Oh no problem, it wasn’t your English (seriously, it’s great) I just wanted to make sure I understood – because there are varying levels of ‘eating!rey’ that came to mind and I wanted to make sure I steered you right LOL

ON THAT NOTE, nothing quite comes to mind – however I do know two people who I suspect will definitely will have either fics they’ve written or suggestions themselves – @chubbyreylo and @cobwebbing

While a lot of their stuff is more to do with weight gain or size ‘kink’ specifically, I suspect they’ll be able to give some great recs where Rey enjoys food in general as well. 

I hope that helps = I’m sorry, I’m sure there are fics I’ve read with scenes like that in them but nothing really comes to mind at all and it’s not something I’ve tagged my bookmarks with.

Hey! First let me tell you that I looove this site. Second, I’m not sure if it’s canon but everybody asumes that the age gap between Rey and Kylo is 10 or 11 years, right? Well I just wanted to say that the age gap between my parents is 10 years and 11 months, and they have been married for over 22 years… So yeah it can totally work. Feel free to post this, and may the force and Kylo’s nipples be always with you!!

Thank youuuuu xoxo

The age gap is canon, confirmed by various books – Bloodline, TFA novelization, etc. Pablo also confirmed post-TFA that Rey’s TFA age is 19, Kylo’s is 29.

And yes, it’s total nonsense that the age gap was ever any concern for the validity or feasibility of their relationship. Even in-universe, Han and Leia had a similar (if not slightly larger) age gap – and they met at the similar age (Leia was 19).

I was reading this amazing uni au where Rey and Ben meet on tinder but dumb me didn’t open it in a web browser on my phone and of course tumblr crashed. do you know the name slash have a link? I’m pretty sure it was on ao3.

Oh man oh man, the only tinder AU I’ve read is this one – Swipe Right. They don’t technically ‘meet’ on Tinder though? Might be that one – I did just recommend it in my modern Au post.

If any others come to mind, lovelies, please let us know! =)
