Summary
Rey stays busy as a nanny, living and working (and paying off debt) at a fancy estate on Kingstree Island, SC. But one Sunday evening, free and a little bored, she crashes a wealthy neighbor's beach party. She enjoys the harmless outing until she catches the eye of an elite guest. Even then, a brief flirtation would only be a fun, unusual memory to take home with her... But he steps on a piece of glass on the beach, and Rey is too practical (and kind) to leave him to it. It's only when his arm is around her shoulders, and he asks her to help him hobble back to his house, that she realizes Ben is actually her absentee-employer. He is Adele's father, who she hasn't actually met yet, other than phone interviews.
Ben is more amused than horrified that he accidentally hit on Adele's nanny. But he's done a lot of work on himself and he's determined to be both a better dad and a better person. He'll be professional with Rey. Except that he has to hide a lot more than an inconvenient attraction. She doesn't know she's the sole normie in a house currently housing two selkies, a cyclops, a werewolf, and a vampire.
Ben tries, but how long can a selkie resist the instinct to give his heart away?

Summary
Seventeen-year-old Rey Niima moves to the small mountain town of Red Hollow, West Virginia, after losing both her parents and being forced to live with her hostile stepfather, Unker. Trying to survive her junior year unnoticed, Rey becomes fast friends with Rose Tico—one of the only bright spots in her new life.
But everything changes the day she bumps into Mr. Solo, the school’s strict, intimidating, and undeniably magnetic history teacher. He is cold, unreadable, and surrounded by rumors—and yet Rey senses something else beneath the surface.
As a string of murders spreads fear through the town—each victim a teenage girl who looks eerily similar to Rey—strange things begin happening in the forests that border Red Hollow. Mr. Solo seems to know far more than he should. He watches Rey, protects her, avoids her… and is haunted by something he refuses to name.
Drawn into a world of danger, secrecy, and forbidden connection, Rey begins to wonder:
Is Mr. Solo the only one who can save her—
or the one she should be running from?Bookmarked by MerissaC

Summary
“There’s no shame in it, by the way,” Ben murmurs over his shoulder, the barest hit of teasing creeping back in along the edges of his low voice. An unmistakable downward dip of his eyes that she does not understand nor wish to analyse.
“What?” Rey mutters quietly, feeling as though all the fight has left her mind and body.
“Not knowing certain things… and needing a teacher.”
(In which Rey tries to navigate her new life on the Resistance’s base while the newly-defected Ben Solo makes himself the bane of her existence)

Summary
In 1951, Hogwarts makes a startling change - for the first time ever, girls are permitted to shadow professors as part of their fifth-year curriculum. Sixteen-year-old Rey Niima, diligent and eager to please, finds herself placed under the tutelage of the school’s newest instructor: the grim and glowering veteran, Professor Ben Solo.
What begins between the two as contemptuous, becomes something far more perilous when they become inexplicably linked. Soon, Rey finds herself in over her head with a desire she cannot begin to understand. Devotion and danger often wear the same face, and in this case - that face holds a scar and a gaze that Rey can’t hold for long.
New chapters every Monday (& sometimes more).

Summary
"Kylo watched as Rey let herself be led across the dance floor with one of his officers. He didn’t remember the man’s name, but he would be sure to find out before the night was over. She was dressed in finery that he couldn’t imagine she had ever worn before, but it suited her all the same. He watched as the man’s hands drifted lower, past her waist. He watched Rey’s spine tightened and Kylo found himself somewhere between amusement and rage.
Surely she didn’t think she could fool him? "
Supreme Leader Kylo Ren isn't sure why the Resistances sent their lone Jedi to spy on the First Order, but he's not going to enjoy investigating it. But one of his officer's gets too familiar, he steeps in, claiming her for himself. He promises Rey that if she play along, he will make sure she espaces with her life. As the night progress, Kylo is torn between what he wants and what he has. Weill they burn together or fall apart?

Summary
Han catches sight of her first. He climbs the next six steps with eyes on her, like he’s approaching a stray cat.
“Rey,” he says. “This is my son, Ben.” Her eyes flicker to Kylo Ren, face pink, eyes wet, and gaze intent on her. Then back to Han. “He’s coming home.”
Or
Ben goes with Han. And Rey isn't happy about it.

Summary
“I was right. You are a monster.”
“You didn’t think so when you hand-delivered yourself to me on the Supremacy. To what end—to turn me to the Light? To save my soul?” He speaks derisively and his lips press together, as if recalling a distasteful memory. Rey senses the embers of his own anger rising to meet hers through their bond’s echo.
She draws herself to her full height and stares him directly in the eyes. “You’re beyond saving.”
“That is what you and others don’t understand. I never wanted it in the first place.”
—
Ten months after the Battle of Crait, the Last Jedi and the Supreme Leader of the First Order have kept their bond tightly shut, allowing the seeds of their mutual rejection to blossom into hurt and anger. When the location of the Resistance base is revealed, Rey must make the ultimate sacrifice: the lives of her allies and friends, in exchange for yielding her freedom to the First Order, indefinitely.
But new threats soon lead to the discovery that Rey cannot draw lines between the Dark and the Light as easily as she once thought, and blur the boundaries between hatred, lust, and—eventually—a deeper bond than neither she nor Kylo Ren could have ever conceived of.

Summary
I just wanted to keep him, she shouted wordlessly. Throwing all of that vexation and desperation into the well of power that danced like lightning in her blood. Allowing it to fall down into the void, to disperse into the ether of everything that refused to cry with her. I just wanted him.
Why can’t I have him?
Why did you take him from me?or
An exhausted Rey falls asleep after ending the scourge of the galaxy.
She wakes up above Ahch-To, believing the Force just gave her a vision for how the battle will end.

It's Better If We Just Pretend by Ellensama

Tags
Summary
Rey has gone undercover on the new Star Killer base, Kylo Ren is pretending to be a man named Matt who has been assigned to be her new work partner. She knew this mission would be hard but dealing with Kylo, who seems set on just being angry and completely uneducated in how to fix anything, might be just too extreme to pull off. Keeping him from finding out who she really is just add's to the pile of trouble fate seems set on dealing. If Rey could maybe figure out why he's there, and why he's pretending as well to be someone else, maybe she could figure a way out of this mess. Alive.
(loosely based on the Star Wars undercover boss SNL skit, the plot is actually serious and a long slow burn.)

Summary
Rey smiled up at him, her eyes only darting to his chest once before she asked, “So what’s next?”
And her smile…Oh, that smile. Bright and beautiful, framed so perfectly with sun-kissed cheeks and her hair loose around her shoulders—
Shut up, Ben.Or, when Ben Solo didn't kill Han Solo and followed him home to the Resistance, life changed. It threw punch after punch that he didn't know how to dodge—especially when it came to Rey...or the Resistance's newest recruit.
The guy that seemed to like her almost as much as he did. Almost.

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.

Aren't You a Little Tall For a Stormtrooper? by v_for_verona

Summary
Ruling an evil fascist organization is hard (at least a lot harder than Ben Solo thought) and that ginger menace won't let him alone for one kriffing minute, so who's to blame him if he occasionally sneaks out of his quarters disguised as a stormtrooper? And what if, theoretically, he puts on Holoporn to keep people from entering his quarters and noticing that he's not home? There's nothing - and I mean nothing - that could go wrong with this plan. After all, even Supreme Leaders need a moment of alone time to daydream about the Last Jedi now and then.
Rey of Jakku is confused, and impatient, and a little bit mad at her Dyad in the Force, and it's high time that they have a chat about all those confusing, irritating emotions between them, so she sneaks onto Ren's Star Destroyer to finally get some answers from Kylo Ben. The only problem? It sounds like he's already found someone else to 'talk' to. Well... that just won't do, will it?
OR
The Supreme Leader disguises himself as a stormtrooper... and the Last Jedi didn't get the memo

“If the knights are your brothers, does that make me your sister?”
He looked at her for a moment. His eyes were hard like he was upset and his jaw was tight, like he was grinding his teeth.
“No,” he said, eventually.
“Then what am I - to you?”
---
Rey didn't want to leave Jakku - not without her parents, anyway. But when Kylo Ren found her there, watching him from the shadows of Niima Outpost, she didn't have much of a choice.Bookmarked by MerissaC

Summary
This is a continuation of Alluvium - a retelling of Naomi Novik's Uprooted from the Dragon's perspective. The first nine chapters were completed by AWizardWithoutHerStaff, who has graciously allowed me to carry on the story with her premise.
So: you will first need to have read Uprooted. Then you will need to have read Alluvium for chapters 1-9, because we're picking things up right off the bat with Chapter 10
*(If you're here for smut: see Ch 16: Chapter 27 - Part One)
