smoke in a stillwater pond by Anonymous for LarirenShadow

  “I- I want to go with you, Ben, I want to make that vision come true, but if your plan is to just… create another Empire-” “Absolutely not,” he says, firm, finally looking over at her. “I don’t know what I’m going to do yet, not precisely, but- whatever it is, Rey, I swear, all I want is to build something that can- something that will make you proud.”(Ben and Rey rebuild the galaxy, and they’re determined to learn from the past.)

a little broken by Anonymous for Like_A_Dove

Rey has never known how to need–or to want–help, but even the last Jedi is not an island entire to herself. And the Force has always known exactly when to bring Ben Solo to her.

Standard Issue by Anonymous for Limra

It’s a year after Rey and Ben fought in Snoke’s throne room, eight months since the fall of the First Order, and three weeks into their marriage the first time they fight about it. It’s three months after the first fight that it comes up again. He knows she’s right… it’s ridiculous. He, the former Supreme Leader, a powerful Force-user, jealous? And of what? A simple, arrogant, cock-sure fly boy? With rogue-ish good-looks and a wry sense of humor… Poe made everyone smile. Everyone except Ben. Poe did not make Ben smile, Poe made Ben scowl.

every inch between us becomes light years by Anonymous for meritmut

The bond between Rey and Kylo Ren does not end with Snoke, it grows into something completely different that can be very pesky when you’re trying to be the Supreme Leader or the Last Jedi.

they call her the nothing by Anonymous for OccasionallyCreative

She remembers the old name. The thing she had gone by once, before she became something greater. She has no use for Rey, and yet she tucks it into the hollow place inside her anyway, to rattle around with her hunger and her power. There’s a strength, she thinks, in keeping something thought stolen from you. Even if you don’t want it anymore.

Echoes by Anonymous for ophvelias

After spending months as his bodyguard, Rey knew one thing: Kylo Ren was not meant to be a politician. But, perhaps she wasn’t a very good Jedi, either.

lilies of the valley (cover me with kisses, make my garden grow) by Anonymous for Plutoascending91

Every girl is entitled to the mistake. That one colossal fuck-up that permanently alters the terrain of who you are.

Rey breathes in the scent of the flowers and the electricity that charges the space between her and Ben, and she decides that this might as well be it.

Ascension by Anonymous for renperor-of-the-galaxy

“Everything plunges into darkness. The elevator lurches with the catastrophic sound of wrenching metal. With only a second to curse her bound wrists, Rey pitches forwards and braces herself for the pain of landing. In place of gravity there are two hands, one on her shoulder, the other wrapped around her waist. They yank her upright and backwards, until she hits something solid which releases a small, pained breath on impact. Ben. Holding her to him. Keeping her safe.”

The Rhythm of the Earth by Anonymous for rosewitches

In a future scarred by crumbling buildings and rusted machines, Rey tries to use her magic to coax new life out of the tired, dusty soil. Too bad she’s only one half of the solution, for there can be no growth without rot, and no Life without Death.

Still by Anonymous for SageMcMae

Rey and Kylo struggle with the force bond and figuring out this whole “soulmates” thing, and the people around them are confused, a little concerned, and bloodthirsty, in Hux’s case.

Shadow and Shade by Anonymous for solikerez

He contemplates a fall, yet here she climbs.  What are they two?

Double Exposure by Anonymous for something_pithy

Find the secret lab in the wreck of the Supremacy. Destroy anything she cannot steal. Simple enough orders, even if she has to make it through Kylo Ren to do it. Astronavigation is impossible in a world made of blurred lines, but that doesn’t matter. The Supremacy will never move again. Rey is going to make sure of it. She doesn’t feel things in the right order anymore. His feelings, hers, they all blend together in a mash of noise and sound that is, frankly, distracting. She moves dream-like through a world that bleeds over at the edges. Things like his hands on her thighs. Like his mouth on her neck.

A Small Dark Light by Anonymous for Spokane

For the first time, someone had bothered to say goodbye. Rey saw the small, dark light inside of Kylo Ren that even escaped the great Luke Skywalker. Goodbye just wasn’t an option for him.

By all accounts, a story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end. But where does the sea begin? How do you find the middle of water? And when does a current come to an end?

If I Lose Everything in The Fire by Anonymous for steffy2106

Rey accepted Kylo’s offer to join him with the hopes that she could turn him towards the light. But when she becomes pregnant, she fears history is repeating itself. When Kylo discovers that Rey is pregnant, he’s left with a choice: follow in Darth Vader’s footsteps or answer the call to the light.

Changing Tides by Anonymous for SWAG_77

Grasping the controls, Rey guided the ship up and away from the blasts, shooting off out of the atmosphere and into light speed. In her mind, she kept chanting her mantra over and over again from when she had departed Jakku. I can do this. I can do this. It was another echo, from another time, from another her. She barely knew that girl anymore, because it was what she had been, a mere girl, not a Force-user, not the last Jedi, not connected to the galaxy’s most powerful individual. She had been nobody. Nothing.“You aren’t nothing to me.”Rey turned in her seat, her blaster going off before she even knew she had pulled the trigger. Kylo Ren, the Supreme Leader of the First Order, dodged the shot, gracefully side stepping to avoid being hit. How had he gotten on board?

Rey is a penniless medium employed by Senator Leia Organa to seal a deal…Ben Solo is a troubled soul convinced he’s a spirit… Rey has one night to discover if the house is truly haunted and if she can convince Ben that’s he’s alive.– A paranormal meet and cute.

Get You Through the Night by Anonymous for Thelittlescrimshaw

As a wise Jedi once said, “In vino veritas,” or, “drinking when you are connected to an ex via the Force is really not the best idea.”

Teaching Trouble by Anonymous for TheStolenQuill

Highschool means drama for everyone… including neighboring teachers.

a promise of grace (under silver-grey skies) by Anonymous for thewayofthetrashcompactor

After the war, he’s shipped off to Ahch-To to live out his days in exile among the seabirds and the ghosts. Every six months, someone will visit and make sure he’s still alive.At least, that’s the plan. (Or: the war for Ben Solo’s heart, featuring an immanent cosmic entity, an island where time is wonky, and a stubborn twentysomething from Jakku.)

Soulmate AU where it hurts when you’re too far from your soulmate.

Remedy by Anonymous for witchoil

After years of living on the brink of starvation, Rey finally has a safe place with the Resistance to call home. As she adjusts to her new environment, her body has some of its own adjusting to do…

KITTY LIKES BEING THE NEW YEAR’S LION

[july-19th-club]

[homunculus-argument]

Apparently a part of the reason why farmed bees stay in the beehives that humans build for them is because the farm hives are safer and sturdier. I don't know how a busy Discord server's worth of bugs that only have one brain cell each would logically conclude that the humans protect them from outside threats, illness and parasites, but if I understood right, the bees would be free to move away and build a new nest somewhere else any time they'd want, and they simply choose not to.

You know how in almost every culture, people have some concept of "if I sacrifice something that I made/grew/produced to the Gods, they will ward me and my harvest from evil"?

So, in a way, don't the bees willingly sacrifice a part of their harvest to an entity not only far greater than them, but nearly beyond their comprehension, in exchange for protection against natural forces wildly outside of their own control?

So tell me, beekeepers, what are you to your bees, if not a mildly eldritch God?

[cordyceps-sapiens]

I don’t know about other cultures, but in English folklore, when a beekeeper dies someone has to go out and tell the bees.

[baconmancr]

Imagine you’re a neolithic hunter-gatherer, just hanging out, sacrificing stuff to your god, when a new god you’ve never met before shows up and tells you that your god is dead, it’s not your fault or anything, and maybe a new god will come along to take care of you, maybe not, it’s gonna be touch and go for a while

[fox-sama97]

Apparently in medieval Europe they also whispered secrets to the bees.

So imagine the mildly eldritch God you worship talks to you and tells you secrets, but these secrets make no sense to you and are incomprehensible to understand or even know they are secrets. But your God does make vibrations at you, so thats probably a good thing right??

Also occasionally the Swarm decides there is not enough room in the Hive because the eldritch god didn't take the offering of Honey at their normal time. So enough of a Swarm builds up that the second queen is able to leave without decimating the first Swarm. They are all set to search out a new place that will likely not have your God anymore (but really that's not too much of a struggle, they have abandoned you, that's part of why you've left, even though the first Swarm still holds out hope for their return).

And then, the scouts find another Hive right next to the old Hive. Literally right next to it. So the Queen lands to inspect it and wow, it's a good deal. The area already has enough food to support 2 Hives, so it's a not problem to stay in the area now that they have the space, but...this wasn't here before.

And then you see God, they've come to help the Swarm move to the new Hive and take the offering from the old Hive. Truly this must have been their plan all along

[samyazaz]

In English folklore, you ALSO have to invite your bees to your wedding, and decorate their hive, and leave a slice of cake for them, and also bring your new spouse by to introduce them to the hive straightaway. Imagine your eldritch god doing THAT.

[alex51324]

I mean, given the rest of it, inviting the bees to the wedding and introducing the spouse makes perfect sense. And if you invite them, of course they get cake, same as everybody else.

Decorating the hive is just a fun touch, though.

People talk about the surprise albums from people like Taylor Swift or Beyoncé that drop with zero warning but I have just been existing in this world where every album I've ever heard in my life has been a surprise album because I didn't know that musicians had schedules that we could see

Everything is a surprise when you don't pay attention

[stevenrogered]

“That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different its course would have been. Pause, you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.” - Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
