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 ❤" .
until you return to me by lovefrompluto

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! Image

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. Image
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. Image
Worst of Me by hajerika

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! Image
Canonverse 50K to 100K
Project 34 by sap1066

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. Image
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. Image

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! Image
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. Image
what if the storm ends by SecretReyloTrash (BadOldWest)
archiveofourown.org/works/23497750…
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. Image
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. Image
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! Image

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” Image

Blood in the Water by SpaceWaffleHouse
archiveofourown.org/works/23082844
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. 💔 Image
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. Image
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! ❤️

Welcome to my 5th annual list.
Honestly, what in the actual fuck. I thought I’d be over this. But I guess my love for Reylo fanfiction is “Staying Alive” *snorts*

Art by the stunning Bianca, aka @pandacapuccino. Seriously, that woman is absolutely gorgeous as she is talented.
I always agonize about this list, and each year gets harder and harder for me… hello, we are well into July at this point.
I’m so thankful for all the fic writers out there who are so generous in sharing their heart, their creative spirit and talents with us. 🙏🏽💕💜
Writers, I am grateful for the Reylo romance and thrills and joy you bring to my life, and to others. I give you a bouquet of kudos. Thank you so very much to every single one of you who have written fics for our fandom in the last year.

Today over at RFR, the gloriously talented @infintgalaxies is our guest mod for our Sultry Sunday feature! Nikki is a prolific writer in the fandom, and if you haven’t read her stuff, please check out : bit.ly/infinitegalaxi….
have loved so many of her stories, but there is one short fic that I absolutely love, called “Or Else”. Check it out at bit.ly/3qElust
It’s a Girls AU, in which Rey seduces her new step brother Ben.
I loved how strategic Rey was with her seduction, but with the underlying story of a streetwise 18-year-old girl seeking love, safety and shelter. It’s wonderful!
