Rey hated nothing more than ultimatums. Not even Kylo Ren. Not even as he stood there, hobbling away from her with uneven breath, dripping blood from one limp arm while the other shuddered with tension in front of him, hands clenching like claws as he used his powerful mastery of the Force to choke the necks of the four unlucky Resistance soldiers that had found them.
She hated Kylo Ren more than anyone she’d ever met, but she hated ultimatums more than she hated him, and he’d pinned her down with his instead of giving up the losing fight.
“Make your decision, Scavenger.” He hissed, spitting blood out impatiently. The men he choked only had a few seconds left, given that there were no gasps or coughs coming from their constricted throats. Rey spared them one more glance, and she felt the rage swelling from Kylo at losing her attention – even for that one, brief moment.
”REY.” His scream hitched and broke, startling her with how close it came to pleading. He was seething, twisted with grimace-faced hate, but his eyes sought hers with a desperation that defied logic. It made no sense. He made no sense. All at once she could tell he hated her and longed for her at the same time, and it twisted her stomach until it threatened to expel itself.
Her lightsaber switched off, rolled slowly down her open palm, and dropped carelessly from her uncurling fingers.
“You win.” She clipped out bitterly, raising her hands up in defeat. “Let them go, Kylo. You’ve won.”
Here’s my list of fanfic recommendations! These ones all take place before The Last Jedi but they’re gems within our fandom that are well worth the read! If you need anymore please don’t hesitate to ask!
For anyone who’s just getting into the fandom and doesn’t know where to begin, I recommend checking out any of the general fanfic recommendations below.
If you’re looking for more fanfics, some with au’s and such, then there’s more in the link below where you’ll find modern, mythology, and jedi au’s too!
So I finally got off my ass and made a dedicated fic list for everything I’ve put out for this fandom over the years (there ended up being a lot more than I thought?? Odd).
Most of them are drabbles/flashfics because I don’t have the stamina for big projects, but there are a few multichapters and longer, polished one-shots in the mix.
hoo boy, so I’m not the best person to answer this question as I tend to drastically avoid pregnancy fics but I’ve read sOME so here are my recommendations. If I’ve read it even with the pregnancy/kid storyline that means it was just SO captivating for me personally that it overrode it.
The Moon, the Sun, and the Star Inbetween– this one is just the cream of the crop to me, SO good and such a great balance between Kylo Ren’s struggle, the struggle between light/dark, and how having a child together affects it.
In My Bloodstream – admittedly it has been awhile since I’ve read this, but I remember when the one-shot came out VERY early on I was DEVASTATED and then to see it continue into a beautiful multi chapter was amazing. Although I wouldn’t really count it as a pregnancy fic…
The Proof of it All – AAAAAAAAAAANGST, also incomplete, but god DAMN it was early angst and beautiful and I want to cradle it
Hey there! I previously made an On Ahch-To rec and a TLJ-Inspired Fics rec, but more are flooding in and it’s wonderful!! As a warning to everyone, a high number of these fics contain spoilers. If you don’t want to be spoiled for the movie, I suggest skipping over this post for now. Suggestions welcome!
Hello Reylo fam! It occurred to me that we’re seeing quite a few new faces here in the land of Rey and Kylo and there’s so much fic it could be a little overwhelming. So I thought I’d put together a list of some of my personal favorites. This is in no way meant to be exhaustive or definitive. I encourage people to add, add, add your favorites!
Tongue-in-cheek tour of Reylo tropes. This time, it is Kylo Ren who is taken prisoner. Rey is given the impossible task of turning this moody, homicidal creep back to the Light, all while he awkwardly attempts to lure her into darkness. Bickering, sexual tension and poor life-choices ensue.
Rey knows Kylo by now. And she knows Ben and almost everything in between. But when Poe Dameron kisses her, she learns something she hadn’t known before. They are bound by the Force and this alone would be difficult enough – with love of all things added to the mix, the universe could as well come apart under the weight of their minds.
Kylo Ren, recovering, retrained, and bolstered by the Dark Side thanks to Snoke, is still obsessed with his failures and the scavenger that got away. Carving a furious path through the First Order fleet and throwing everything to hell, he hones in almost desperately on her location as she runs from his whispers until there is nothing left but them.
Rey and Kylo Ren repeatedly encounter each other in battle over the years, fighting desperately for the causes that they believe in even as they both grow in strength – and fight off growing curiosity. Yet when Kylo tells Rey that she’s pregnant via the Force, will that affect their interactions? And will it change Kylo irrevocably?
Kylo Ren surprises Rey in order to commemorate a special occasion, and things go from there. Attraction has lead to something far more, and that leads to some dangerous, even desperate ideas as they try to find ways to be together. A little dark, a little light, a lot of connection.
Murdering his own father has left Kylo Ren splintered into two personalities representing darkness (Kylo Ren) and light (Ben Solo). Rey’s strange bond with him has her caught in the middle, struggling with conflicting feelings of her own.
This is the last place she ever thought she’d end up.
When work dries up on Jakku, a desperate Rey enlists with Galactech– a tech company who will hire anyone with the right skills, and work for anyone for the right price. Now trapped onboard the Finalizer, Rey is both horrified and fascinated by the dark tales she hears about the leader of the Knights of Ren and the mysterious Force he controls.
But, when a chance encounter awakens a power within her she has never known, it may just be Kylo Ren’s fascination with her that becomes her undoing.
Kylo walked into a trap set up by the Resistance when the First Order raided San Tekka’s village. He’s now found himself alone in the desert, on a planet crawling with Resistance and Resistance allies and a bounty on his head that is going to have the locals all interested in capturing him.
Instead of being victorious, Kylo Ren is grievously injured in a pitched battle in Jakku when Poe visits Lor San Tekka. Rey stumbles across his inert unmasked form and, against her better judgement, drags him back to her AT-AT.
For a moment he assumed she was someone’s familiar, but there were few witches in the area. Kylo sincerely doubted any of them would be so cruel as to have their companion fend for themselves in the streets, especially when considering how small she was. Still, there was something undeniably clever about her.
He sighed; either way, it was of no consequence to him.
Rey is the last daughter of a once noble house, isolated and yearning for a place in the world. When she receives a letter the day after her eighteenth birthday, it seems her station and her husband have been decided for her.
Kylo Ren is the heir to a cruel and vast empire, taken from his parents and raised from his youth to rule. He weds because it is his duty, although it seems his bride is nothing like he had ever expected.
A lonely young woman arrives at the cottage she inherited from her grandfather on a remote lake in northern Ontario, to find her neighbour is a rare Alpha, a relic of the old days when humans were ruled by their designation. Across a long hot summer, they connect over their shared history, and she finds that the past may not be as far away as she assumed.
There are so many more, but this was getting rather long. Enjoy and don’t forget to comment!
So I know I already reblogged this earlier (thank you again for the rec, my love!) but I totally forgot to add fics to this already stellar rec list.
Everyone already knows that my sister Perry is a giving and kind-hearted soul, and many people are already aware she’s a fantastic author. But I want to take a moment to add her fics here, as well as some others, because it never hurts, and new people are always finding our ship!
He feels her elation as she finds the right point on the circuit, watches the droid whir to life, bleeping its gratitude. She has a whole little family of them now. Droids with loyalty so fierce he wonders if all creatures sentient – and not – are bound to worship her. He is losing himself in her and he knows he needs to stop.
Kylo Ren is Bound to Rey and hides from her, never revealing himself, quietly driving himself mad with her light.
He stands over Snoke’s dead body, toeing it with his boot.
“You never should have stood between us.” –
It has been nine months since Starkiller and Kylo Ren has become something more. The light still pulls at him from time to time but after the price he has paid, he has been relentless in his pursuit of the dark. And then when Snoke had dared stand in his way, tried to take Rey from him … new power had been born that day. Black and deep. The endless abyss that is Kylo Ren in love.
Rey, a college student living in Chicago, gets roped into the world of high-end escorting. It’s Thursday night and she is on her way to meet her newest client: a man named Kylo Ren.
Rey hadn’t thought being a part of the Resistance would mean signing her life away to the whims of male desire. She hadn’t thought it would be more of a prison cell than her life on Jakku; so when she is handed the key, she is unsure why she does not immediately run. She is also unsure why she doesn’t hate the other side as much as she used to. Maybe things are changing after all.
