Summary
"I can listen no longer in silence."
The hologram projection of his strangely handsome face is cobalt blue, flickering, and full of static. "I must speak to you, Rey. You… you pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me that I am not too late.” He groans, runs his hands through his dark, silver-streaked hair, then refocuses his gaze on the holorecorder. “I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight and a half years ago. Do not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death."
Here the recording of Ben takes a deep breath, and looks down at something outside the holorecorder’s field of view. Perhaps at his hands, Rey manages to think, through the veil of shock and timid, fluttering hope. She wishes she were there with him, so she could take them in her own, and offer him the confidence to carry on.
But this is only a hologram, so she must wait. Eventually, when he looks up again, his features have settled. He looks… Fierce. Determined. Self-assured.
"I have loved none but you," he says.

Summary
Librarian Rey Smith enjoys her job immensely. She gets to serve the population of the small town of Jakku, read on the job, creatively solve problems using her many skills - and sometimes ogle the most handsome patron they have, a mysterious bookworm named Poe. When he exits the building in a rush one day and leaves behind the leatherbound book he's always writing in, Rey picks it up and reads a few pages. It's a riveting tale of vampires, legends, and the ancient struggle of good versus evil, as well as the narrator's barely tamed bloodlust-
She had no idea he was a writer!

Summary
“What’s happening now isn’t about you. It’s about the war. It’s not personal.”
“It was with you, though,” Rey murmurs.
“Yes,” Kylo agrees. “With me it was always personal.”
Weeks after a coup splits the First Order in two, the Resistance joins forces with the New Galactic Imperium in hopes of eliminating a more pressing threat. To ensure a brighter future for the galaxy, and for their Force-wielding pupils, Rey and Kylo Ren must set aside their heartache and do the unthinkable: work together.

Summary
“It was foolish of you to come here,” he says. “You won’t escape this time.”
Rey looks at him, at the Stormtroopers, at the combat walkers. She gives the illusion of thinking it over, and then says, “You’re right."
She presents her wrists to him. “I surrender myself to the authority of the First Order.”
--
Three years after the Battle of Crait, Rey, Resistance hero and teacher to a budding new Jedi Order, once again delivers herself into the hands of the enemy. To provide cover for a maneuver that could deal a serious blow to the First Order, she must gamble with the thing she knows its Supreme Leader wants most: herself.

Summary
Rey turns around again, starting to descend the steps, leaving him alone in the temple. ‘You can’t be here. Go back to your sycophants.’
He stands up abruptly and she flinches, shying away. ‘Have we really regressed back to being enemies now? After all this time?’ He motions between them, to the ephemeral, unbreakable bond.
Rey faces him, her hazel eyes so full of sorrow; it pierces straight to the core of him, an arrow to the heart. ‘You made your choices. You chose the Dark, Ben. You chose to kill the rebels rather than help them. There’s nothing I can do to help you anymore. So yes, you’re my enemy. And you need to leave.’ She turns away again, starting down the flight of steps that lead away from the cliff. The water in the pool undulates as her footsteps peter out, and Kylo stares into the pool, at his reflection, the scarred, damaged face that doesn’t even come close to portraying the conflict within. The face of the First Order. He hates it more than he ever has.
You're no Vader.
You're just a child.

Summary
Rey's thrilled that Finn and Rose are dating and that they're going out to California to spend Thanksgiving with Rose's family. Really. But being alone again for the holiday is bringing up a lot more insecurities than she wants to think about, which leads to the internet and alcohol and poor decisions all around.
And somehow a late-night Craigslist ad ends up with her agreeing to crash some asshole's family dinner. At the very least, she's curious what kind of people name their son "Kylo Ren" anyway.

Summary
"I hope the best man's hot," Lizzy added, as an afterthought.
Charlie cleared his throat. "That would, er, depend on what you thought of Will."
A silence descended over the table, as everyone recalled Lizzy's opinion of Will. They had only met twice before, but the first time Will called her career aspirations 'unbeneficial to society' and Lizzy called him a 'corporate wanker', and the second, Will beat Lizzy at Mario Kart.
"Oh," she said faintly. "Of course."Modern AU. Lizzy Bennet has only met Will Darcy twice before, but she is certain that she does not like him. Then, her sister gets engaged to his best friend, and she and Will are roped into the wedding planning. Suddenly they're going to florists and picking out his suit together. But there's nothing going on between them. Really.

Summary
She moves into the apartment beside his, with her flowers and her singing and her brisk optimism, and Ben Solo knows himself just well enough to realize that a person like him really shouldn't have anything to do with a person like her. His good friend Snoke, of course, has other plans, because he gets a certain enjoyment from watching Ben - Kylo Ren, rather, as he calls him - screw things up. Which Ben inevitably does: but that's not where he wants them to end, and maybe Rey doesn't either.

Summary
Notorious figure skater Kylo Ren has had a rough few years; once a decorated competitor, now it's hard to say what he's losing faster, sponsors or partners. With Nationals just six months out and no qualified partner on the horizon, Kylo finds himself begrudgingly skating with college hockey phenom Rey Kenobi, a scrappy forward coming off injured reserve who doesn't know a lutz from an axel. It's only for six months, but family drama, a twisted coach, and a budding closeness to his new partner ensure that this will be the most eventful competition season of Kylo's career.

Summary
The Force moves in mysterious ways, and sometimes it even has its own agenda. Rey finds herself caught in a battle with fate that throws her together with Kylo Ren, binding them together in the most powerful way possible... only to have fate drop her like a hot potato.
A broken Force Bond isn't the easiest thing to bear, especially when the one you're missing is your sworn enemy and the father of your child.
Warning: Parenting: Skywalker Style.
(Kind of a deconstruction of the X-made-them-do-it-to-have-a-child fics, which always seem to end once a kid is born, whereas I'm more interested in what comes AFTER the not so happily-ever-after.)

Summary
"I remember everything!" he snarls, loud enough to make her flinch. "How you move— the way you breathe—" His words hitch on a strangled half-sob; he stares at her like a man caught in a waking dream as he skims the line of her jaw with his knuckles, stopping to touch the pad of his thumb to her bottom lip. "How your eyes met mine in the starlight," he continues through a broken, haunted rasp of a voice, "and I felt like the look on your face."
Or: What is alive must heal. What cannot heal must endure.
