    Summary

    Rey is a barista who never forgets a face.
    One day, a man walks into her café refusing to show his.

    -----

    [The scar] crept up from under his collar along his neck, and her eyes traced the length of it. The part that disappeared under the thick, dark waves covering his right eye was still stitched closed with fresh black sutures twisting deep into his skin. He must have been split open to the bone.

    Whatever happened had hurt, in more ways than one, and that hurt was reflected now in the way his lovely mouth dropped open in fear and how horror darkened the one eye fixated on Rey’s face.

    -----

    A Reylo coffeehouse AU where a very sweet, very shy, but very physically and emotionally broken artist Ben meets a sunshiny but lonely barista/college student Rey - and they help heal one another.

    Summary

    She had heard that he was a brutal teacher; impossible to please, harsh in his grading, unwilling to give extra credit, and god forbid you said something he thought was stupid. He also happened to be stupidly attractive, which Rey thought was a quality that was sorely lacking from his campus reputation.

    Summary

    There is something about watching Rey put her mind to task. Ben can't put a name to this something, exactly— all he knows is that it fascinates him like nothing else has in a long, long time.

    "Dr. Solo?" She glances over at him. "What do you think?"

    I think I'm doomed, he wants to say but doesn't. I think the curse of the pharaohs has nothing on you. I think you are my Egypt.
