Reylo Fanfic: 2018 Reads

The Rules: This is a (by no means fully inclusive) rec list of some of my favorite reylo fanfics published or updated in 2018. Please note that the list is ordered by last update date. 

Head over feet by @ever-so-reylo: “Is it working, for you?” Maybe it comes out a little needy, but Rey tells herself that it’s only because of how low she has to pitch her voice to talk to him. “Or do you maybe want to fake-break up?” Ben doesn’t answer for a second. Then, just as Doctor Phasma takes the mic to thank the speaker and ask the audience if anyone has questions, Rey hears him say, “No. No, I don’t want to fake-break up.”

Embers by @sciosophia: “Me and Ben were…a long time ago. It’s nothing. Ben’s nothing. He’s just a guy.” Just a guy. Poe’s childhood friend; a lobbyist; someone who could run marathons in less than four hours. These were the labels she’d reduced Ben down to; boxes to compartmentalise him in, entirely separate from their relationship. ]

Hypothermia by Lucidlucy: “You hardly find me repulsive, little desert rat,” he said with honey on his tongue, a term that used to once make her blood boil but that she now acknowledged as a warped version of an endearment from Kylo Ren. “Or need I remind you of Takodana?”

Ceremony by LuxLush: An uncharted planet in the Unknown Regions. An ancient ritual stumbled upon by two outsiders. A Sith Temple. Blood, sex, passion, power. A binding even stronger than a Force Bond. A binding that, if broken, leads to catastrophic consequences.

User Not Found by violethoure666: It’s not Rey’s fault that her computer literally never works, but tell that to the grumpy IT guy who never leaves the basement. This was my excuse to write witty online banter and desk sex.

There Will Always Be Hope by Killing_Me_Softly: He pocketed the note and peered into the woven basket set on the floor in front of him. He tried to mask his surprise. It was a child. Or more accurately, a very young infant. Only a tiny sleeping face and a few wisps of dark hair were visible underneath the layers of swaddling.

The Rebel Side of Heaven by @jeenonamit​: “I could teach you,” Rey says, very matter-of-fact. “What it’s all about, I mean. What to do.”Ben stares at her blankly for a long moment, her meaning clearly not registering.When he finally does get what she’s saying, his reaction is immediate and explosive.“What?” he sputters, eyes wide. (In which Ben Solo is an awkward virgin, Rey is a friend who offers to teach him about sex, and nothing goes according to plan.) 

sharp-dressed man by @audreyii-fic: Kylo’s stuff keeps getting shipped to Rey’s apartment, and the resultant miscommunications threaten to destroy their lives – or, you know, at least their summer.Also Kylo wears a suit and Rey is thirsty.Utterly pointless smut garbage. 

Convergence by dietplainlite: Rey and Ben are on a mission to visit an ancient temple of the Force during an important astronomical event. But first, there’s a tiny hotel room, and a tiny bed.

Once, Twice (Always) by dietplainlite: Jedi dropout Ben Solo gets roped into a smuggling mission for the Resistance. He’s surprised at how easy it is to pull off, but his quarry may be even more valuable to bounty hunter and fellow dropout Rey.

Left Handed Kisses by @ever-so-reylo:  “You’re everything,” she thinks he tells her the moment before her brain snaps black from exhaustion. Or maybe she’s just imagining it. A modern AU in which Rey is an Assistant District Attorney working for Leia and Ben is an evil (?) criminal defense lawyer.

Feel free to add in your personal recommendations in the comments!

you’ve gotta stat romanticizing your life. you gotta start believing that your morning commute is cute and fun, that every cup of coffee is the best you’ve ever had, that even the smallest and most mundane things are exciting and new. you have to, because that’s when you start truly living. that’s when you look forward to every day. 

Encouraging posts😂

OMG THISSS Yes I always thought that too. It didn't make me like him any less, like all his real fans were like" Tom, sweetie we know you're adorable just let your natural light shine through" but with recent events..well it all makes sense now. Not sure where on the fandom spectrum I'll fall into now. But more than anything it shows what good actor he is off screen, he was able to fool so many people for a long time. I don't think we should look into to it too much as fans. After all he's an entertainer and he has been doing a pretty good job of entertaining us, don't you think?

Soooo...

I just want the Hiddleston tag to go back to pictures of Tom. And not Taylor Swift.

Well Maria is pissed that Mystica is trying to steal her husband. And after Mystica insults her( calls her trashy, low class, poor ass, dirty, slut, I'll mannered, repulsive etc; Maria tells her not to keep pushing her or she'll snap (which she does). That's when Maria knocks Mystica to the floor and tells her basically " you think you know me, well now you will" and proceeds to drag her around the room lol. Maria even tells the dog Secreto to "stay there and watch as I slap your owner around" literally best line in the scene hahaha Sum up of the scene let me if you want it translated lol 😁

Okay, Spanish-speaking friends, I need your help. I’m 23 episodes into Maria Mercedes and I am completely baffled by the character Mistica continually wearing the exact same slinky-sparkly black dress and pink satin gloves (though her apparent capacity to instantly change into her pink leather motorcycle outfit has led me to conclude she is a Magical Being. Evil, yes, but an Evil Magical Being). Admittedly I am a mere humble gabacha who quite possibly missed the explanation when it was originally given, but in any case, I just found this scene, which might offer some sort of explanation; unfortunately, once the yelling starts, my comprehension skills are srsly challenged, esp. right before Maria Mercedes rips her dress (which is the logical point to make a comment about it).

A little help from my more-bilingual friends would be most appreciated.

Doesn't seem to think twice about killing Kings( Joffery anyone), yeesh! Oh boy has she gotten herself in a pickle 😬

I think that look on Sansa’s face when she sees Littlefinger is the look of someone who just realised he will not rest until she is by his side again and that Jon is in great danger and she is partly responsible

I think she just remembered that Littlefinger plotted heavily against her father because of her mother, and they are both dead because of it.

It was only a second, but she knew…
