I commissioned @mrsmancuspia for my @reylofanfictionanthology fic this fall, and there doesn't feel like a better time to share the absolutely gorgeous art she created.

(Read the fic here on ao3: canon-divergent, post-trilogy, Ben Solo angst with a happy ending  )

@mrsmancuspia made this for me, for my fic The Road Home where Poe (a.k.a. Taral Ren) rescues Ben from an X-wing crash on D’Qar (which, spoilers for the fic, ends up forming a Force Bond between them both). I...really am incredibly touched by the fact that she made this for me; it’s absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much! (Also, this is the first bit of fanart I’ve gotten, so...yeah. :3)

Hi! Me again. I wanted to asked you if you'd let me share one of your prices with a One-shot I'm writing. Or maybe two, haha. The one that's says bañame en luz and a smutty one. I saw them and they inspired me! Espero y no sea problema, de verdad me gustaron mucho, ir would go with credits and all of course.

Hello!

I’m really happy and flatted my art inspired you to write!, but I think I’m not sure I understand your request… you wanna use my art as story cover? If that’s the case, its totally fine! Use it on ao3 as art companion is totally fine too!

The only case I’m not comfortable with is my art being reposted here on tumblr and other websites.

The Risk of Falling By: sushigirlali

Ben Solo awkwardly tugged his charcoal spandex bodysuit into place, eyeing the garish black and orange decorations littering every inch of Finn’s lawn as he approached the two-story Dutch Colonial home. His wife’s best friend had a flair for interior design, when he wasn’t working his beat for the local police department, so Ben had to wonder why he’d allowed this tacky explosion of Halloween cheer to invade his perfectly manicured front yard.

“Finn and Rose really like Halloween,” Rey informed him cheekily, reading his incredulous expression.

“You don’t say,” Ben smirked. “Do you think I should—”

“Keep your opinions to yourself?” She returned sweetly. “Yes, my love, I certainly do.”

“Hey, I will if they do,” Ben chuckled, stopping to shift the harness securing his infant son to the front of his broad chest. Gray cooed up at him, his tiny face breaking into a toothless smile as Ben bent to kiss the top of his head. “I’ve got you, little crime stopper, yes I do,” he murmured playfully.

“I’ll never tire of that,” Rey sighed, walking backward up the stairs leading to the spacious front porch.

“Never tire of what, sweetheart?” Ben asked, making up the distance between them in a few long strides.

“My boys being cute together,” she said with teasing wink.

Ben slid his arm around her waist, pulling her against his side. “Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson might be cute, but Batman and Robin are all business. You should know that, Miss Kyle.”

“Is that so?” Rey giggled, leaning into him. “And that’s Catwoman to you!”

Gazing down at her provocative outfit, Ben couldn’t wait to peel the whole ensemble off her slender body when the night was over. With her height and athletic build, Rey was a knockout in anything she wore, so it was no surprise that the slate catsuit fit her like a glove.

Still, as much as Ben loved Rey’s sexy costume, he couldn’t help feeling self-conscious about his own state of dress. If someone had told him a few years ago that he, a respectable officer of the law, would be wearing a full-on superhero costume to a Halloween party hosted by people who barely tolerated him, he would have called them crazy.

That was the risk of falling in love, though, he supposed. He’d do anything to make his beautiful wife happy, up to and including traipsing around the neighborhood as a caped crusader.

“Rey, are you sure I don’t look stupid?” Ben asked before she could ring the doorbell. “Finn and Poe—”

“Are also dressing up,” Rey cut in.

“Maybe, but you know how they are,” he said skeptically. “We’ve been married for nearly three years, but it seems like they’re still waiting for you to come to your senses and dump me.”

“Then they’ll be waiting forever because you’re the only man for me, Ben Solo.”

“I’m know I’m being stupid, it’s just…” Ben trailed off, cringing as he finished the sentence internally, “…that I want them to like me.”

Rey looked up at him sympathetically for a moment before a devious smile curved her distractingly red lips. “How about this: when we get home, I’ll let you tie me up and show me the error of my cat-burgling ways,” she whispered suggestively. “This costume comes with a whip, you know.”

Ben flushed at her blatant proposition, opening his mouth to respond in the absolute affirmative when the front door suddenly flew open, startling him.

“Happy Halloween!” Rey’s friends greeted them, all decked out in vibrant shades of green and blue and red.

“Hi, guys!” Rye said happily, tugging Ben inside before he could say another word.

As Rey rushed forward to pass out hugs, Ben scanned the room, shocked to find Finn, Rose, and Poe all wearing superhero costumes as well. In fact, taking in Finn’s orange and green suit and blonde wig, the huge symbol for the House of El emblazoned across Poe’s chest, and Rose’s red, blue, and gold corset and skirt combo, he realized that this party was a veritable Justice League convention!

“We weren’t sure you three were ever going to get here.” Finn laughed good-naturedly, slapping him on the back.

“But thank god you are!” Poe said in a stage whisper. “My buddy here has been dying to show you our costumes for weeks! Honestly, I’m shocked that he was able to keep a lid on it!”

“Hey! I can keep a secret!” Finn said in mock offense. “I swear; you confess all your sins during a drunken tirade one time…”

Everyone laughed, and even Ben couldn’t help himself from chuckling.

“So, um, you dressed like this on purpose?” Ben asked gracelessly, stumbling over his words when he realized how they sounded. “I just mean, uh, I didn’t realize the theme of this party was DC.”

“Oh, it’s not.” Rose said kindly. “We just wanted our group of close friends to match.”

“Our…what?” Ben said, bewildered at being included in the “close friends” category.

“Listen, Rey is like a little sister to me, so I’ve been overprotective, but things are different now.” Finn said seriously. “When I first met you, I thought you were dangerous. You’re a former undercover officer, so your reputation in the force was…questionable, to say the least.”

“My reputation—!”

“But, we know better now.” Poe interjected, heading off Ben’s indignant reply. “You’re a great detective, not to mention an outstanding husband and father, so we want you to feel welcome in our eclectic crew of rebels from now on.”

“What do you say, Ben?” Finn said heartily, offering his hand. “Friends?”

Ben stared at the group, flabbergasted by the unexpected turn of events. He’d come here tonight expecting to be given the cold shoulder at the very best, and now these people wanted to be his friend? Locking eyes with his intrepid wife, Ben could see the hopeful anticipation swirling in her hazel depths as he waffled about what to do.

She’d never force him to accept Finn’s olive branch, but he knew it would mean the world to her if he did. Finn and Rose and Poe would always be a part of their lives, so he owed it to Rey, and to their son, to make an effort.

“It’s not all about you,” Ben thought, his mother’s words ringing in his head. She’d been yelling at his father at the time, but the comment had stuck with him nonetheless.

“What the hell,” Ben smiled, clasping Finn’s outstretched hand. “Friends.”

Gray chose that moment to pipe up, letting out a joyous laugh as Poe and Rose crowded around Ben as well.

“I think Gray approves!” Rey grinned, the unadulterated love in her eyes searing him.

“He better! I’m ruining my tough-guy reputation by being friends with these two,” Ben motioned toward Finn and Poe with a teasing glint.

“Being nice and well-mannered is not a character flaw,” Poe said drolly.

“I agree, considering you’re none of those things.” Finn chuckled. “Everyone knows that I’m the nice one!”

Rose caught Ben’s attention as Finn and Poe began bickering back and forth, play fighting with the kind of rapport that only longtime partners could achieve.

“I always liked you.” Rose confessed with a wink. “Anyone who can turn my no-nonsense bestie into a puddle of goo is a winner in my book.”

“Rose!” Rey blushed.

“What?” Rose replied innocently, backing up toward the kitchen. “Hey, Frick and Frack? The party is going to start in less than an hour. Get your asses in here and help me set up!”

“A puddle of goo, huh?” Ben teased once they were alone in the entryway.

Slipping under the shelter of his arm, Rey petted their son’s head while she rested hers on his broad shoulder. “I have no idea what she’s talking about. I’m a strong independent woman and I don’t need no man!”

“No?”

“Well, okay, I need one man,” Rey admitted softly, gazing up at him. “I love you, Ben.”

“I love you too, sweetheart,” Ben responded, his heart full. “Now, let’s get this party started!”
