    Summary

    Opposites can attract, but not in the case of neighbors Rey Johnson and Benjamin Solo.
    She is a hardworking, optimistic and independent woman juggling two jobs to get by. He is a cold, rude and self-centered man with a habit of keeping Rey up at night with his constant noise until the wee hours of the morning.

    But things aren't always what they seem.

    A terrible accident causes an unexpected development between the two rivals, who are suddenly forced to look at sides of the other that they didn’t know existed. As the walls protecting them both start to crumble, will they realize they had each other wrong all along?

    A slow-build and slow-burn fic about life, love, friendship and all the struggles encountered along the way.

    Summary

    Maybe the reason she never told Ben about Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker, Leia ponders, was to free him from the clutches that tie her to the past.

    or better known as,

    Ben is about to shit all over his mother’s ideals, and Rey is gonna kick his ass for it - and maybe some other things.

    Summary

    He knows this smile well too much, he’s learned to master it too: not too much, but just enough to give a good impression. Hers is perfect; like she’s done it at least as much as he has. Her eyes meet his in a breath, and Ben feels his heart drop to his knees.
    Ben Solo, prince of Alderaan, is to be engaged to Senator Palpatine's granddaughter, Rey. Her presence awakens something in him, along with feelings and truths neither of them would have suspected.

    Summary

    “What do you want from us, Empress?” Poe blinks up at her, and Rey thinks that he already knows. The way he tilts his head, curls barely brushing against her bare arm—it could be an accident, or it could be her answer. Her smile is slow, wide, baring white little teeth.

    ---------

    Empress Rey satiates her boredom and curiosity with two Republic prisoners, who happen to be married.

    Summary

    The thing Rey remembers most clearly, is the scent of sandalwood following him into her apartment.

    Oh, she thinks, staring at the night sky from the balcony of her shitty motel on the way to somewhere that isn’t the city that was never really her home, that’s when it started.

    ********

    Summary

    Inspired by this tweet from @MeedaWrites:

    https://twitter.com/MeedaWrites/status/1260930186746331137

    Summary:

    “Just a heads up dear, there’s only a couple of seats left,” Headmistress Organa explains as they climb the stairs, “and I’m sitting in the one next to the deputy, so you’ll have to take the one next to my son.”

    Rey stops dead in her tracks, sure she misheard the headmistress, because there’s no way she just said her son is sitting on this bus right now and that Rey would be sitting next to him.

    Her son that Rey has had a creepy crush on since her freshman year.

    Her son that Rey has tried (and failed) to forget about since he graduated.

    Her son that goes to Rey’s top choice school.

    -or-

    In which Rey is just trying to have a good time on her high school senior ski trip when the headmistress decides to drag her son (and Rey's long-standing crush) along, and awkwardness ensues.

    Summary

    @reylo_prompts: “Soft AU: Ben and Rey are best friends, and they’re cuddling on the couch. Rey’s head rests on his chest, his breathing as relaxed and steady as the calming beat of his heart. When she’s sure he’s asleep, she leans up and places a soft kiss on his lips. He pulls her closer. He was awake the whole time.”

    Summary

    Growing up in Jakku, one of the few towns that borders what used to be the gates to the fairy lands, Rey has learned to be tough and crafty. The wards that separate the human lands from fairy have been sealed for decades now, and a high fae hasn't been seen for years. But there as still some creatures that linger on the wrong side of the worlds. Being the Scavanger she is, Rey often treads the borderlands in search of rare objects to sell on the black market, but one night Rey ventures just a little too close, and the consequences are deadly.

    The world that Rey knew is about to be turned on its head. Everything she knew about herself and her past, seems to be a lie.

    Summary

    Somehow, Rey knows that they’ve come for her and that they want to take her away.  She doesn’t want to go; she can’t go.  Where will her family find her if she goes away?  No, she must stay here.

    This ficlet was originally written last year for the Babies at the Border anthology. I understand that a few typos were added to the version published in the anthology; I'm not sure how that happened, but I apologize for those.

    Summary

Until one day her talent and passion for art lands her the opportunity of a life time to finish school early and get into University. With her friends, Finn, Rose, Poe and Jessika, she travels to America for the first time ever. All goes well until they visit a haunted mansion. Until she starts hearing noises. Until she gets the feeling of being watched and followed. Until she sees things move on their own. Something had followed her back from that mansion. And it’s nothing good.
