Summary
Of course, it's not as easy as Luke said it would be. When is it ever? The building is five floors and the windows are dark so it's probably empty. She's got the key from Luke, but no clear plan. Luckily for Rey, a year working for him means she's good at slipping through the cracks. She's had plenty of practice.
Rey works for Luke doing some less than legal activities. When she gets caught breaking and entering by Luke's wayward nephew, Rey realizes in order to get out of trouble, she will need to improvise.

Summary
“Nice bookmark.” Rey tries to engage him. He glances over at her but says nothing. “I watched a lot of Star Trek growing up,” She adds, and he gives her a non-committal nod.
“Are you more of an Enterprise or Voyager fan?” She prompts him again and he looks up, his eyes locking onto hers for maybe the first time since he’s been here.
“We don’t have to do this.” The intensity of his voice startles her, the unwavering hold of his stare making her feel very small and very insignificant.
“Do what?” She asks, hands beginning to vibrate.
“Pretend to get to know each other.”

Summary
I run out to the lobby, grabbing my tablet and try to remain cool in the face of Satan in a Suit.
“Mr. Ren, how can I help you?” He’s taller and more broad than pictures can translate. His black on black suit seems menacing, not a coincidence, I am sure. He seems a bit taken aback, something I am used to in this male-dominated profession. When most of the employees here come for help with their computers or experience network issues, they don’t expect me to know how to solve their problems. Challenging stereotypes one satisfied customer at a time.
He breathes in deep and pauses before he speaks. I think I see the flash of recognition in his eyes but I keep my body still and my face impassive. Yeah, I am an omega, Ren. Get over it.
Rey works in the IT Department for a tech company that is recovering from a recent hostile takeover. Ever at odds with the universe, Rey continues to live against the grain by excelling in a male driven industry and by redefining what it means to be omega.

Summary
Christmas themed one-shot where Rey is mouthy, and Ben Solo is secretly living for it. (And then not-so-secretly). Happy holidays!

“So you’re the one who keeps shredding my work into an unrecognizable mess.” Ben Solo’s voice is nothing if not recognizable. Rey freezes in place, slowly turning to face him. She forces a smile onto her lips. Nice to meet you too, jerk. -

Summary
Rey is a new Auror and skilled Legilimens who is asked to join a group of Aurors at the MACUSA to help fight the growing threat of pro-pureblood extremism. Unfortunately for Rey, Ben Solo is a master of Occlumency and isn't impressed with Rey's snooping skills.
“It’s nice to meet you,” I say with a small smile, unable to stop the shiver that runs through me. I can practically feel the waves of his manufactured void pulsing towards me.
“Likewise.” He returns, and at his voice, I fall into a flash of a memory, harrowing red walls and...loneliness. It disappears in an instant.
I press against the table, a small hitch in my breath is all that betrays me, but his glare positively pierces through my skin. I look away, and the heat of his eyes is unbearable.

Summary
And then she tells Leia everything. How she and Ben are connected, binary stars circling on another across star systems and galaxies. How alike they are. How alone. About Luke, Ben’s terror of him, and how close Rey came to killing the last Jedi with his father’s own lightsaber. How she sent herself into the jaws of the enemy on nothing more than a vision and hope. How Ben killed Snoke for her, and fought with her, and begged her to stay with him.
Worst of all, she tells his mother how she left him.
“I k-know it was the right thing to do,” Rey gasps, one hand gesturing desperately in the air. “But it doesn’t feel right. It f-feels l-like my h-h-heart is –”

Summary
Ben has a bad knee, a lot of Pacifco to drink, and definitely doesn’t give surfing lessons.
At first, he thought it was just her mouth. Her legs. Her accent. Or the most likely culprit: her ass. (Her ass! Sometimes it’s what gets him out of bed in the morning, moreso even than his Aeropress and the El Salvador blend that tastes like kumquat.)
But no. It’s something more. Something terrible and sneaking, making him crave non-sexual, quotidian things. Talking and laughing and driving and trying to grab the Starbucks Doubleshot can from her and hold it over his head while she glares and he not-so-patiently explains why she should just drink coffee, because didn’t you read the thing I sent about Mavericks surfers having some of the highest sustained heart rates the researchers had ever seen?

Summary
No, Ben wasn’t Rey’s friend. She wouldn’t have called him an enemy either. Enemies were equal, in some ways, whereas she knew where she stood with him. Ben was much worse. He was an inevitability. A shitty, depressing inevitability. Bully!Ben/High School AU
