i love the whole list of fix-it fics you've compiled, you and literally every writer on that list is such a gem. thank you so much! i was wondering if you have and recs for alternate ep ix fics? i know a lot of authors were writing their ideas for ix after tlj, and i trust literally any of them more than jj.
I certainly do! Here’s a collection os post-TLJ fics that did a much better job of continuing the story (most are rated E or M, so please mind the tags)
Sealed to Me (E, 15K) has a bit of everything for everyone, including delicious sexytimes and amazing space battles. It’s a whole meal.
Two Sides of the Same Coin (E, 68K) I love the more Grey!Ben&Rey approach.
World In My Eyes (M, 96l) Gosh, I love this one. It’s a beauty. You’ll heart will be keysmashing by the end.
Darkness, Take My Hand (M, 245K) Slightly canon divergent, but it works really well so it counts. Gray Reylo is (and you can see) my weakness.
Turn (E, 9K) This is by one of my favourite authors and it’s just *clenches fist* so good.
Moral Ambiguity (M, 12k) Probably my favourite? (Definitely my favourite)
You’ll Be the One to Turn (M, 119k) is a classic. Beautiful writing and wonderful storytelling. Very realistic characterization too. Everything IX could have been, but wasn’t.
Songs of Innocence, Songs of Wisdom (E, 21K) is so. much. fun. Action packed, drama packed, a very entertaining ride.
Ashes of the Empire (M, 128K) this is technically an AU, since Rey takes Ben’s hand at the end of TLJ, but it’s my favourite ‘she says yes’ fic, so I thought I’d add it here.
Steady As We Burn (E, 115K) I just really love their dynamic here. A+
Tactical Surrender (E, 115k) another classic. The policital intrigue is top notch and the love/hate dynamic is explored in great detail. You’ll definitely have to read the sequel. Definitely. Let that be your warning.
Here With Me (T 18k) Force Bond goodness.
and find your way back home (M, 33K) This is just so soft, my heart can’t take. it. The First Order has been defeated. Rey goes after Ben,
by any other name (E, 4K) I have to include this. Read it and you’ll understand why.
