So I got together virtually with @bcdaily and @ghost-of-bambi to talk about writing and fandom because why the fuck not, what else are we going to do. Featuring our various accents and me being super extra as a pseudo-podcast host.
We had such fun with this and at one point I was complimented to a point where I was genuinely holding back tears but am a baller so I hid it well. Was an absolute pleasure. Love you guys.
Remember that voice post part 2? 👀
This might be my favorite this to have come out of  quarantine.

Do you know any slow-burns???
Special Request by @shizzlesisntevenaword
Slow Burn … I now it’s a rather subjective distinction, I’m probably partial to “medium burn” myself, but I tried to pick out fics that focused on building the Reylo dynamic via banter, subplot, etc, before a romantic declaration or smuttville arrives. Most of these have a lot of UST between the lines, but no smut until at least the last quarter or very end. Hope these fit the bill you were looking for. Enjoy!

Deep Beneath the Light by @carasstarwarsmusings Crysania
Ben says “Yes” … to Han. I loved everything about this concept, it’s one I have mulled over a number of times - the possibilities for Bendemption and Reylo that diverges from the father/son moment on the walkway (or even from the interrogation scene, as in @shadowlass‘s WIP Family as a Fine Art). Han Lives, Kylo/Ben faces the conflict inside himself, truths unspoken come out and Rey takes notice. This is the heart of the story that corporate entities couldn’t be bothered with telling us, bc it would seem “naive”. (Sorry, I’m still bitter from December). At any rate, this is a wonderful story and I enjoyed it.
In Between Memories by @raevfitta (slinden)(Post TLJ)
Isolated/Stranded Together Trope & Amnesia Trope. Who Ben and Rey would be if they couldn’t remember their pasts. Very interesting character studies about who they are intrinsically and how without their identities, memories, force abilities and external labels they piece together who they think they are.
The Way to Tomorrow by @the-reylo-void
Post-TFA Divergent. Exiled Ben. Luke Lives. Sometime after the events of TFA, the Resistance wins the war and sentences Ben to a year of exile. Thanks to the Force Bond, Ben’s not as alone as his exile had been meant to be. Somber mood, with Ben doing some heavy reflection and soul searching, even Rey does a good dose of internal reflection. Nicely written “conversation
A Life Between Times by @kuresoto
Post-TLJ, sucked into a time warp. The only time travel I have read where instead of the characters trying to change the past, they focused on living in the present for a hopeful future. (Also, this has one of the best bittersweet moments between Han Solo and Kylo/Ben. It’s endearing and heart-breaking, and exactly what Ben (and I as a reader) needed).
This Together, Any Together by @shipatfirstsight
Well written portrayal of a very antagonistic canon Kylo and Rey dynamic progressing into a domestic portrait of the two after they wake up married on modern day Earth. Diverges from canon post-TFA. The very meta touch that on Earth Ben and Rey are married authors who gained popularity from a book they wrote together and are now, supposedly, working on the sequel, is brilliant. The Reylo arc is nicely developed, but what is most endearing is the interactions between Ben and Han (who is alive in this reality). Ben’s longing for a relationship with this version of his father, who isn’t scared of him in this reality, is bittersweet.
Tension/Balance by @kerylraist (Post TLJ)
A saga worth reading. Good characterizations, probable reylo arcthat progresses into a “realistic” domesticity. Extremely wellwritten, appears to be a professional writer. No cliffhanger, it’s notnecessary to continue with sequels, but they were just as good.
The Writings of Ben Solo by @okaaragem (BurnedStars777)
Post-TLJ, crash landed on deserted planet while fighting. Rey might be trapped with Kylo Ren, but she unknowingly holds a piece from Ben Solo’s past.
Modern AU
A Place to Go by @delia-pavorum
Beautifully written, banter is foreplay. Jane Austen in the background and between the lines.
Head Over Feet by @ever-so-reylo
Grad student Rey (accidentally) enlists intimidating Professor Solo to deter unwanted advances by Hux. Endearing, self deprecating and at times, a relatable, inner monologue of Rey pairs nicely with unapologetic Ben, whose super power is to unnerve stressed, grad students, but seems to hold an inexplicable soft spot for Rey.
another look series (series is WIP, Part 1 & 2 completed) by @thewayofthetrashcompactor
Angsty take on the trope, it takes a little while for Kylo/Ben and Rey to warm up to each other, both being rather guarded. I really liked how they were both portrayed in this, their tentativeness towards each other gave it a bit of a somber feel. After a Thanksgiving at the Solos where they felt more of a sense of belonging than either would admit, a sense of hope for unexpected possibilities begins to emerge. Part 2 in the series is up now and serves as an interlude between Ben and Rey back at college. The author’s notes imply there is more to come in this series and I’m looking forward to the progression between these two as they begin to build trust in each other and themselves.
If You’re Ready Comic Get It by @r-e-a-l-m-a-t-h (violethoure666)
Modern Rivalry AU. Ben runs the bookstore Rey works for out of business. They have a lot to banter about.

Sixty
—
in honor of Sirius Black’s sixtieth birthday. hope he’s partying hard up in wizard heaven
—
“He would have been sixty today.” Harry spoke softly, his voice barely over a whisper. Ginny turned in bed, reaching her hand out to cup hold of her husbands jaw as she gently rubbed her thumb across the stubble there. Harry just stared at the ceiling with shiny eyes, his jaw clenching and unclenching. Sirius’ death was one Harry never really spoke about. He mourned his Godfather in private, unable or unwilling to discuss how he felt about it with anyone.
Ginny knew a little just from the small comments he made and the way he behaved on certain days. November third had become one of those days, a day where Harry sort of shut down and was reminded of how many birthdays his Godfather had missed out on—on how many birthdays Harry couldn’t spend with him.
“Sixty, huh?” Ginny said, equally as quiet. She was quite fond of her memories with Sirius. Particularly spending the summer at Grimmauld Place with him and the two of them finding solace in one another after waking from nightmares. She would talk about the Chamber of Secrets and how she still felt like her mind was being toyed with by Voldemort, knowing Sirius would not call her crazy for it. That he would understand. After all, he had spent twelve years with darkness corrupting his own mind.
“Yeah,” Harry said, his voice cracking ever so slightly. Ginny frowned and leaned forward, placing a soft kiss on his cheek.
“Do you want some tea?” She asked, mostly just to give him an excuse to be alone. Harry nodded minutely and she crawled out of bed, grabbing his hand and giving one last squeeze before slipping out of their bedroom.
Harry let out a shaky breath once he heard Ginny in the kitchen. He hated the fact that he still had a hard time coping with Sirius’ death. He supposed it made sense because of the way it happened. The fact that there was no body to bury, that the spell that struck Sirius in the chest had not been fatal. That no one but he and Lupin were there to witness it...
He wondered if it would be easier if Lupin were still around. If they could talk about it with one another. But of course, life had to rip Remus away from him, too, so Harry was forced to be alone in his grief.
Not that Ginny and his friends didn’t miss Sirius, too. Of course they did. But they were never able to fully understand the amount of grief and confusion he had felt watching Sirius literally slip away from him.
A tapping on the window pulled Harry from his thoughts and he sat up to see his eldest sons owl sitting there with an envelope attached to its leg. Harry got up to let the bird in, giving it a small treat before taking the letter and opening it carefully.
Hi Dad,
Don’t worry, I’m not writing you because something has happened, I just figured you’d like to hear from your favorite child. I’ve been working really hard during Quidditch practice and I think I could go against mum and have a solid chance at beating her! Headmistress McGonagall even says I am an exceptional player.
And since I know you’re going ask, yes my studies are going fine as well. But next time you see Professor Longbottom, can you please tell him to lay off on the homework? I mean, it’s herbology for Merlin’s sake. When will I ever need this as an auror?
Anyway, I’ve sent you something else in this envelope that I think you need more than I do today. I will be wanting it back, though! Frank and I have some epic pranks planned and we’ll be needing it’s assistance.
Love,
J. S. Potter.
P.S. Don’t mope around all day. I’m sure Sirius wouldn’t have wanted that.
Harry smiled softly, a few more tears escaping his eyes before he reached into the envelope once more and pulled out a familiar piece of parchment. His throat felt thick with emotion and he reached for his wand before silently whispering a spell.
“Revealio.”
Words appeared across the front of the map, something Harry never got tired of seeing, and he leaned forward to read them.
Messer Moony would like to say hello to Harry, and wonders why he would purposefully say the password wrong?
Messer Wormtail would also like to know why Harry would muck up the password and demands he try again.
Messer Prongs would like to tell Harry how incredibly smart he is, even if he did mess up the password and is prepared to offer some “solemn” advice.
Harry laughed lightly, reading over the words before finally reaching the bottom and feeling his heart constrict slightly in his chest at the familiar handwriting that used to write him so frequently.
Messer Padfoot would like for Harry to ignore the others and tell Harry that he misses him and not to feel so sad today. It’s my birthday after all.
Harry wiped away at his eyes and let out a soft chuckle. “I miss you too, Sirius.” He folded the map away carefully before getting himself out of bed and heading into the kitchen after Ginny, promising to celebrate his Godfather instead of mourn today.

Her Oddest Customer by @sunaprincess7 This is seriously the most lovely, well written story I have read in such a long time. I still can’t stop thinking about it.

you know, when i said i wanted the real world to be more like harry potter i just meant the teleportation and the butterbeer, not the entire plot of book 5 where the government refuses to do anything about a deadly threat so the teenagers have to rise up and fight back
