    Summary

    How did it feel? It felt like he was barely holding it together. She, of all people, should shun him. Or yell at him. Curse him. Spit at him. Take out her wand and blast him off the face of the earth. It was crushing guilt and relief and confusion all at once when he looked at Hermione Granger.
    The monotony of Draco’s daily routine had become both a lifeline and a noose. But this new habit of grabbing coffee with Hermione Granger is quickly becoming a reason to get out of bed and is unfortunately forcing him to re-evaluate his inconsequential existence.
    Hermione is living her life in fragments, separate pieces scattered about, and she can’t find a way to step back and let the full picture form. Why are morning meetings with Draco Malfoy the only thing that make sense anymore?

    Summary

    In the end, she has to hand it to him— he'd always been an expert in taking her by surprise, and it would appear that he's chosen not to shake the habit even in death.

    "Rey Skywalker?" There's a vaguely sardonic twist to the corner of his mouth. "Does that make you my cousin now?"

    "It seemed like a fitting tribute," she says in wooden tones. Be it dream or vision, she might as well play along— draw this out until reality comes crashing back. Who knows when he'll come to her again as solid and as vibrant as this?

    "I see." Suddenly he's leaning into her, their faces so close together. "Tell me," he murmurs, his lips almost brushing against hers, "have you ever heard of the term kissing cousins?"

    She registers the smell of alcohol on his breath at the same time that his eyes flutter shut and he slumps face-down into her lap, snoring softly. You're alive, is all she can think at first, staring down at his head of lush black hair.

    Ben Solo is alive.

    Alive and very, very drunk.

    Summary

    Two weeks after TLJ, Rey finds herself on an old Rebel base, trying to protect herself with the Force—but Kylo Ren finds a way to break through.

    "I was angry."

    "Clearly. You chased me down to Crait."

    "I chased the Resistance down. I told you before… All of this needs to go away, to be left in the past. The only way forward is to destroy the things holding us back."

    Summary

    This fanfic will be a retelling of the movies. I love the relationship/chemistry between Kylo and Rey but hated how glossed over it was. I want to really explore their dynamic in-depth. I plan on using the portions of the novelizations that focus on Kylo and Rey as a skeleton (please don't report me lol), and then expanding on them (like the movies, the novelizations aren't in-depth enough for my taste). I'll also be tweaking some of the existing scenes slightly, because I thought some things didn't make sense. I'll add in a few of my own original scenes as well, but nothing that will change the story too much, because I really like it the way that it is. Obviously I will change the ending so they get the HEA they deserve. I'll most likely go a bit beyond the ending as well, so we can see what life could have been like for a redeemed Ben Solo and Rey. I won't focus on the other characters too much, as it's mainly Reylo that I'm interested in. When there's a passage of time, just use the movies to fill in the blank of what happened. It'll end up rated M, but will definitely be a slow burn.

    Summary

    "I'll destroy her," rings in his ears and he's shocked by how shamed he is he ever said those words. He’d meant them, oh how he’d meant them. He’d been lost to his rage and he’d thought he could … he knows now that he could never hurt her.

    Rey ...

    Then Kylo pulls himself to his full height. She rejected him. Met his offer with going for a weapon. Like she always does. She always, always strikes first. Shooting at him on Takodana, attempting to on Starkiller Base … she was even the one to ignite her blade in those snowy woods.
    ---
    Kylo struggles with Rey's rejection and a new threat pushes them together again.
