AU: Assassin's Creed for Reylo
Basing this on the premise of the movie, as I’ve never played the game, sorry!
kylo ren has been sentenced to death for manslaughter after getting involved in a vicious bar brawl. he wakes in a laboratory and finds out that his death has been faked by jakku industries. the lead scientist, hux, explains his purpose; he's needed to retrieve the location of a precious artefact from his ancestor, who lived in medieval england.
before his initial experience with the animus, kylo is allowed by hux to explore the facility in which he's trapped. he meets rey, who has been imprisoned in the facility and cannot remember anything outside the animus. he meets finn, the descendant of a respected assassin.
on entering the animus, kylo discovers his partner is finn's ancestor. he and finn also discover that rey's ancestor works for the templar. kylo is pulled from the animus by hux. hux confirms that jakku industries are kidnapping both templar and assassin ancestors to double their chances of finding the artefact (and hopefully, when all prisoners have gone through the 'bleeding effect', alter history - this is not revealed to kylo).
kylo finds himself dreaming of rey's ancestor, and rey herself, and tries to befriend her. rey is cold and stoic to him, but finds herself revealing intimate details about herself to him. kylo also bonds with finn.
finn eventually leads the charge of prisoners escaping the facility. rey, before the escape, discovers her identity from the facility's records and tells her identity to kylo. he realises he has accumulated the skills of his ancestor from the animus, as has rey inherited the skills of her ancestor. he plans secretly to stay with jakku industries; but at the last moment, he kills hux and hux's father, joining rey.
