Summary
“I— I’ll do anything,” Rey blurts, feeling desperation take over belligerence. “Don’t let him die.”
“There’s nothing you can offer.” Kylo's face softens into something that looks almost like pity. Rey thinks she likes that even less than his anger.
Technically, he’s right. She’s already agreed to stay on this Destroyer, to be taught, to work under his tutelage. But this is Finn. Her first friend. The one who came back for her when no one else had.
And Rey has noticed the way that Kylo watches her sometimes, when he thinks that she doesn't see. The way that he blatantly won't look at her when she's recently out of the 'fresher, or the way that he scrambled to cover her with his cloak when her shirt was once torn during a training exercise. “That’s not true,” she says, hands starting to shake. She still has one final card to play.

The Second Order by sap1066

Summary
He asks her to join him, and she says yes, but it swiftly becomes clear that Ben hasn't thought the whole thing through, and 'join me' wasn't all Rey heard.
This is a story about whether anyone really can change for love, especially if they happen to be the Supreme Leader of the First Order. It features explicit sex, political economics (but don't let that put you off) and Hux in a nice mood. Also the occasional comedy moment, for which I apologise in advance.

Summary
To truly know someone is to differentiate between who they once were, who they are now, and who they're capable of being. Hermione realises the duality of one man as she rectifies what she knows of the past and begins to understand the pieces of who Draco Malfoy is now: a father, a son, and a man.

Summary
**COMPLETE**What happens if Hermione never escaped that night at the Manor?
Instead, she is thrown into the dungeons.
Her friends had left her.
Her only company are her own thoughts and Draco Malfoy, who convinced the Dark Lord to spare her.
But at what cost to her?
-----------
He withdrew his wand from his robes as he closed the remaining distance to Hermione. His black dragon skin shoes came into her view and she slowly raised her eyes to look at him. He towered over her, draped in black robes. The light was behind his head, creating a halo with his blonde hair.
Was this how she was going to die?
At the hands of Draco fucking Malfoy?
His grey eyes bored into hers as he leveled his wand on her chest. Her vision swam with tears that threatened to spill down her cheeks as she silently pleaded with him.
Draco's expression hardened as the first tear slid down her cheek.
If she hadn’t been looking at his face, she would have missed his words that barely carried to her ears, “I’m sorry, Granger.”

Summary
As Persephone lay in the cool grass the shade offered her, a chill crept across her body. She wondered if invoking his name would really bring her estranged husband to her as Demeter feared. She was still, her cheek on the ground, her hand pressed into the dirt. "Hades…" she whispered. "My king…"

Summary
He thinks about life, about the futility of it. He thinks about mortality, about the inescapability of it. He thinks about doors that close and never get to be open again, he thinks about the words that get left unsaid, he thinks about what ifs and second chances and missed opportunities.
He thinks and thinks.
And still, all his thoughts come back to her.
This one’s for you,

Summary
It looks like everyone had the same idea here folks. An Eddie/Chrissy fix it picking up where Vecna started, and the Party's adventure taking a different turn. I'm awful at summaries I'm so sorry.
"aesthetic chills" is the literal translation of frisson, which is the feeling you get when listening to a really good piece of music.
Update as of volume 2: there will be spoilers!

Summary
She takes another deep breath. "I'm starting to hallucinate. Regularly."
Eddie's body tenses slightly, something in his expression going...dark, like a curtain drawing closed. She gulps at that. "Hallucinating what exactly?"
"Like...everything's the same.” She’s losing him. She knew she would. “Everyone. The same people, the same places. But twisted." She struggles for the right word. "Wrong."
The curve of his adam's apple rises and falls as he swallows. "Like a nightmare."
"Except, the nightmare is real. Happening right now. Everywhere I go."
