I’ve seen a few reylo shippers on the prowl for some modern au’s so I’ve made a recommendation list for yas :3 xx
By: Rellie and snowfright
Summary: Rey Niima– licensed PI, unofficial dog sitter, possibly living in her car –is working the most interesting case of her career, reuniting the two most famous people on the planet with their missing renegade son. It soon becomes apparent though that after his vanishing act fifteen years before, Ben Solo has simply ceased to exist.
In his place Rey finds Kylo Ren– shadowy SnokeCorp flunky, person of dubious morals, highly allergic to dogs –who seems completely unwilling to patch things up with his estranged parents. Rey’s made a promise though, and come what may she’s going to stick to it…
Whether Ren likes it or not.
Type of AU: Private Investigators
I’ll Take My Coffee As Sweet As You
Summary: Rey’s damn proud of her coffee shop, frilly tablecloths and pastel-pink walls included, and if this handsome, sopping wet, leather-clad bad boy wants to encroach on her happiness, then he’s messing with the wrong girl.
Series: Coffee and Leather
Summary: He could, theoretically, be a vampire. If vampires existed. Either way Rey’s rudest and most dismissive Starbucks customer certainly does seem to wear a lot of black. And always appear exactly when she’s been left on her own. She’s pretty sure his name isn’t actually ‘Kylie N.’ or ‘Kai Lauren’ but hey, if she’s spelling it wrong deliberately on his incredibly pretentious order who can blame her?
Summary: Rey has been a wanderer all her life, until she found her calling in Environmental Studies at NYU. For the first time in her life, she’s got friends, and a pseudo family, but there’s one thing that could tear it all down.
Kylo Ren has fought very hard to get to a place where he could call himself independent, and he’s nearly forgotten the name he forsook long ago, unfortunately, his past is about to catch up to him.
Type of AU: Coffee Shop/University/College
Summary: When he’d left town, he’d been Ben Solo, and Ben Solo had broken Rey’s heart. But now he’s Kylo Ren, and he’s back in town, and the moment he sees her, he remembers everything they’d had before. But he’s not stupid enough to think that it’s going to be easy to earn her forgiveness, and he’s certain that they’ll never regain what they had before, but he’s going to try. He has to at least try.
Series: Light Up The Dark
Type of AU: University/College/Musicians/Bands
Summary: It sounds a lot like forever, tastes a lot like all their life, a laugh in his throat, her palms in his hands.
His brown eyes are closed, and she’s drinking him in, every part of his soul she can’t touch with her fingers. “How about tomorrow?” she wonders, only partially serious.
To think it all started when she’s eight and he’s thirteen.
Type of AU: Modern setting
By: ForeverDelighted (Me)
Summary: Budding student of archaeology Rey is an expert on Jedi lore. Her skills draw the attention of infamous treasure hunters who want to use her knowledge to discover the lost Sanctum of the Exalted, which is legended to contain a treasure hoard of ancient, sinister relics of the ancient Sith religion.
Type of AU: Archaeology/Relic Hunter
Summary: When World War Two breaks out, Rey—young assistant to famed archeologist, Professor Han Solo, and his associate, Chewbacca—finds herself at the center of a conflict she thought far away from her life on the dig. But, her expedition isn’t just digging up ruins anymore; the hunt is on for a holy artifact lost to the sands of time that could swiftly, and destructively, end the war: the Scales of Ma’at.
It’s a race and one made deadly with the stakes stacked ever higher by the entrance of a new competitor: ambitious and cunning ex patriot, Kylo Ren, estranged son of Professor Solo.
Type of AU: 1940’s/Indiana Jones Fusion/Egyptologists/Magic
Summary: A psychiatric ward outside of London welcomes its newest patient - Rey - a homeless girl without a last name or family. All she wants is to return to the streets she calls home, but that is easier said than done. She will need a lot of patience if she is to survive her time in the ward, for she has no intention of mingling with the other patients. However, Rey soon grabs the attention of one of the outcasts in the group - a young man who prefers to be called Kylo. He is prone to anger outbursts, but takes an immediate interest in the girl as he recognizes parts of himself in her. How will they ever recover - and will they find their way to a normal life in society, or escape before they’re ready?
Type of AU: Psychiatric Ward
Summary: Rey wakes up from an accident to discover two equally horrifying things: the last five years of her memory are gone, and somehow in those five years she ended up married to world famous movie star Ben Solo. But as she struggles to reclaim the lost pieces of her past, she is slowly but surely discovering that everything in her happy, well-publicized marriage is not what it seems.
If you have any recommendations please feel free to add them :D xx
