Summary
Fresh off a panic attack, Rey takes in a self-plucking parrot with a dirty mouth.
~The parrot is crammed into the back corner of the supply store where the vents are loudest and the ceiling mildewed. He’s wearing a chipped plastic bite collar and less than a third of his dark feathers.
The rest are arrayed on the floor of the cage in a pitiful, dirty pile.
As she approaches he ducks away, shy. Trembling, hiding his face in the worn tarp that covers the cage.
“Are you a pretty bird?” she asks.~

Summary
Rey has been raised by her Grandfather after her parents supposedly abandoned her. Desperate to escape Exegol and find them, she strikes a bargain to leave by marrying the fearsome Lord Ren. After a surprisingly sudden wedding night, she finds that she's been left in the care of Ben - his squire - not realizing that they are the same man. All things seem to be going surprisingly happily, until Snoke demands that Lord Ren prove his loyalty - setting off a series of events that will reshape their world and reunite him with old friends.
"To suddenly find yourself within grasp of what you wanted so desperately, without warning? It was almost like balancing upon a razor. Sometimes it was better to leave the glistening bauble of hope alone, rather than experience the terror of being unable to grasp it when it was just within reach. Ben knew because he felt it the first time Rey had smiled for him, and when she’d told him of their child. When the dreams of his youth were suddenly coming true, despite having flung them aside.”

Summary
Of course Rey hates her day job. But she didn't ask for this night shift, either: an unpaid gig fighting the forces of evil with pointy wooden sticks. She doesn't want to risk her life fighting vampires; she wants a living wage and health insurance and her parents back. She's old, to be a Slayer, and she's nobody, and New York doesn't even have a Hellmouth.
Yet.
