You: WTF it’s May 1, not January 1?
Me: IKR, because *gestures vaguely*
Like a lot of people, the past year & a bit have been challenging for me. And I worry over & over about doing this list in the first place, because I love all the fics that I have had the privilege to read.
So here ya go, my 3rd annual list. I marvel at the incredible content creators the Reylo fandom is blessed with, & I am most grateful to every single fanfic writer who share their creativity and labours of love with us all. To you I say, “Thank you so much, and kudos ❤" .
Without further ado...

Rey determinedly goes through various iterations of life with Ben Solo after he dies in Exegol. Despite Rey seeking him out, the Force still separates them from each other. Poignant and beautiful!

While house-hunting, Ben Solo sees a captivating ghost.
She speaks of a connection to him from a galaxy and time far away... another soothing balm for the heart over the tragedy of canon Rey & Kylo Ren.
The Best Thing That's Ever Been Mine by emperoxgrayland
archiveofourown.org/works/22811533…
Rey Palpatine & Ben Solo make the best of an arranged marriage, becoming best friends. Over the years, Rey’s secret love for her husband grows, and he falls in love with his own wife. Superb.

At a splashy island wedding, Rey is coping with her recent breakup. Rey expected to have a terrible time, until she connects with known a-hole Ben Solo. All the characters are drawn brilliantly; the story is both angsty & funny!

When a naked Kylo Ren is captured in Exegol, Rey is buoyed by the return of her lost love, who was presumed dead. At times heartbreaking, the intelligent and unique plot makes this story a credible Episode X.
Love It If We Made It by L_awlietxoxx

Social activist Rey butts heads with conservative Ben Solo, from early in their careers, to Ben’s ascent to the White House. I adored this story of polar opposites who belong together besides their best intentions.

A politically advantageous marriage is arranged between Rey & Kylo Ren, to consolidate power between the Hapans and the First Order. A wondrous blend of EU Star Wars lore, canon characters, & romance!
The Mechanic by DaytonBay

Rey’s tryst puts her right in the middle of 2 warring factions of international gangsters. I loved the story’s sense of place & its peek into the gang underworld -- its unimaginable wealth, power and tortuous violence.
what if the storm ends by SecretReyloTrash (BadOldWest)

In 1950s London, Rey wrote a bestseller about her idyllic childhood with Ben on a farm. I love the literary style of this story and at its core, an examination of repressed love, loss and regrets.
Dirty Little Slut by andabatae
archiveofourown.org/works/23742925
After a 9-month sexual dry spell, Rey explores her size kink and fantasies about being humiliated and dominated by her sexy roommate. Like the other splendid works by andabatae, this is sizzling hot and brilliant.
The Galaxy Needs a Nerd by enloeddmedia
archiveofourown.org/works/24063697…
Rey seeks Ben Solo, who is a brilliant, awkward and persnickety nerd to assist in her quest to save the galaxy. The story is so original, funny, sometimes poignant & filled with fascinating scientific trivia!
Influencer Rey tries to persuade artist Ben Solo to give her free art but Ben isn’t having any of it. I loved the brilliant combinations of images, text and narrative that culminates in the erotic 1-shot, “let us touch so much of ourselves together”

Blood in the Water by SpaceWaffleHouse

Kylo Ren comforts Rey through the Force Bond after she is the only survivor of a collision. A wonderful depiction of their connection & the seemingly insurmountable gulf between them. The Force gives... and takes. 💔
A Song Called...Murder! by kalx58
archiveofourown.org/works/27202909
Two things going on here: a murder mystery game, & Rey's game to get laid, setting her sights on a big, tall man. The characterizations are wonderful and the dirty banter both funny and titillating. I loved every word.
Last, but not least....way back in January, @sylviacabus asked Angie & I who are our favourite new authors are. Mine is @CeliaAnd2. I love how this writer blends emotion, angst and romance. Her writing is so masterful and unique.

The emotions in her stories always resonate - whether it’s 2 dancers secretly in love with each other, or a drunken sext Rey that sends to her brother's best friend, or 2 college sweethearts facing off in a boardroom, 10 years later -- all a pleasure to read! ❤️
