Reylo Fic Recs: Christmas Recs and Snowed In Recs
Snowed in here on the East Coast and five days before Christmas put me in the mood to create this double post. Happy Holidays (and happy shoveling?)!
Snowed In at Christmas Time …
A Place to Go by @delia-pavorum
The fic that fits both tropes on this post. Beautifully written, banter is foreplay. Jane Austen in the background and between the lines.
Christmas Fics …
Flux & Solder by @angharabbit
Modern Neighbors AU, through the season, but a Christmas resolution. A troubled Ben moves next door to a lonely Rey … the longing, the angst, the past trauma, in a quiet neighborhood with front porches and manicured lawns.
A Christmas When You Were Mine by @tazwren
Modern Neighbors AU in the Amnesia & ChristmasTrope. Rey may be responsible for her attractive neighbor’s current amnesia, to assuage her guilt she’ll just have to take care of him until he is better …
How Much Can Kylo Ren Endure This Christmas? by @reylos-stole-star-wars (Reylology)
Modern, Fake Relationship so Ben can go home with a girlfriend for the holidays. Here’s a secret about me: RomComs are a guilty pleasure of mine … and this Reylo reads like a RomCom. Checks every box in the fake relationship and holidays tropes with a satisfying dose of the Solo Family Feels.
Home (for Christmas) by pontmercy44
Modern Chance Encounter. Lonely Christmas for Ben and a desperate one for Rey. A proposition from a pretty woman while at a bar, Ben figures, “why not?”. But Rey is in more of a desperate situation than she lets on and when Ben finds out, he might be more of a white knight than he’d ever admit to.
Snowed In Fics …
Gorgeous by @ever-so-reylo
Co-workers, Office Retreat AU. Ben and Rey (and the rest of the Resistance and First Order star crew) all work at the same firm together, but in different departments. To Rey’s chagrin the firm sends them on an office winter retreat at a (luxury) cabin in the woods. Having always had an antagonistic relationship with Ben Solo and an adversarial one between their departments, Rey is less than excited to land the room next door to his … until she is excited. *wink, wink* Rey’s peace-making, boss Poe, Ben’s smarmy, gay bff Hux, a no-holds-barred snowball fight and a cast of Star Wars favorites adapted to the modern day dynamics of corporate office life, make for a fun, (eventually) sexy office rivalry to lovers modern AU.
Stone Hollow by @r-e-a-l-m-a-t-h (violethoure666)
Coworkers on Assignment AU. Office adversaries Ben and Rey are on assignment together. A hotel reservation mix-up puts them together in one room with one bed. Rey needs to trust Ben so they can get the job done … then Ben gets the job done. ;) Nice tension with sweet, sexy HEA.

Post-TLJ, sheltering together. An experienced Kylo/Ben teaches Rey how to stay warm (served with a side of feelings between the lines).
Rebel Warmth by Trish47 @capaldisrighteyebrow
Canoverse Snowed In on Hoth. They figure out how to keep warm. ;)
