Hi, what some of your favourite Reylo AUs? Just AUs please.
Hi anon, I’m so glad you asked! I’ve been reading a bunch of reylo fics over quarantine so I’ve basically been waiting for one of these asks, haha. I’ve listed fics that I think are AU must-reads, the universes ranging from Harry Potter to Modern to Dystopian. I hope you like them!
the heartbreak prince by diasterisms (E) (known as @kylorenvevo here on tumblr) - A Harry Potter AU with Ben as the DADA professor and Rey is a seventh year student. Lots of pining, secret jealousy, and sexy times, and I’m obsessed with this fic. It’s perfect in every way.
I’d Like My Obituary to Hint at a Sequel by VioletWilson (T) - Where Ben actually ~didn’t~ die in a plane crash, and Rey who secretly broke into his house poses as his maid/groundskeeper when he returns. Oh, and also grilled cheese.
Little Thieves by ohwise1ne (E) - A dystopian AU with A/B/O dynamics, Ben is a Alpha Knight for the First Order and Rey is an Omega rebel soldier. Amazing smut, and I love the way the plot builds and how the author describes their tender, vulnerable dynamic.
jelly-filled by Like_A_Dove (T) - Teenagers Rey and Ben both work in a donut shop. A super fluffy one-shot.
Within Monsters by AnonymousMink (M) - This is technically still in the Star Wars Universe, but it’s a canon divergence fic so it could technically classify as an AU? But Rey works on the Finalizer, and her revelation of being Force-sensitive leads her to become Kylo’s apprentice. A classic and must-read.
Counting Cards by AstridMyrna (G) - A soft neighbors to friends to lovers fic, during the most wonderful time of the year. This fic is sweeter than hot chocolate.
provocateur by @dankobah (E) - A Sugar Daddy AU where Ben is LOADED and Rey is a poor college student. If you like designer fashion and don’t balk at Rey’s excessive spending, this fic is for you. This whole fic is devoted reylo and it makes my heart go *explosion noises*
I hope you enjoy reading the fics as much as I do! Don’t forget to leave the authors a kudos on their work. Feel free to send me more asks about my fic recs anytime :)

World: Modern AU
Chapters: 10/10
Summary:
It turns out that Ben Solo didn’t actually die in that plane crash. Someone really should have told that to Rey that before she moved into his house. - For a crazy second, she almost tells him the truth. Actually, I broke into your mansion because I needed a place to lay low and thought you were too dead to ever find out about it! “You got a name?” he growls, cutting her off. “My name’s Rey,” she says. It occurs to her too late that she probably should have lied. “Right,” he says, unshouldering his bag and dropping it on her shoulder. “If you work for my family, then take this to my room, will you?” He gives her this small smile and Rey bristles, because she’s his fake groundskeeper, not his fake servant.

So I started rereading this fic because I realized I never finished reading it. I downloaded it to my kindle and for some reason I hate when there’s not a cover for books on my kindle. Which I then decided to make one because why not?
If you haven’t read this fic, READ IT! I haven’t finished it yet but the plot is great the writing is wonderful and it’s Reylo.
Don't You (Forget about Me) - Simple Minds and my anxiety every minute of every day https://twitter.com/ViWiWrites https://violetwilson.tumblr.com
My anxiety has been kind of giving me the runaround lately, and it’s really making me think about my creativity and my life goals.
And because I’m a mixed-media kind of bitch, I made a four-minute video talking about how I’m approaching creativity these days, and why you should treat vulnerability as an act of courage rather than an act of fear.

Knocking on the wrong door au - @violetwilson
sorry this took so long! <333 thanks for being patient!
If Rey had been paying slightly more attention when Finn told her his new address, she wouldn’t have found herself in this situation. Instead when he told her over the phone, she immediately nodded to herself and jotted the numbers down.
“You got that?” Finn said. “You want me to text it to you?”
“No I got it,” Rey said as she pulled on her coat and gathered her stuff. “I’ll be by soon.”
THat was how she found herself standing outside a door with too little cover from the storm and her umbrella being several sizes too small. The water dripped down the back of neck and began to pool at the base of her spine.
She knocked again when no one came and smiled when she heard the tumbling of locks opening. “Hurry up Finn! I’m drowning out here!”
The man who opened the door was definitely not Finn. He gave her a once over before stepping back as she pushed in, shaking herself out on his stoop. His mouth opened and closed in surprise as she paused just in the doorway. The place was furnished with nicer furniture than Finn had ever owned. Everything was dark and sleek, contrasting sharply with rustic light fixtures and the occasional mason candle burning. Vanilla cookies. Nice.
“What do you want?” the man asked sharply.“Is Finn here?” Rey glanced around for a place for her umbrella. “Finn?”“Yeah he’s supposed to live here.” Rey looked up to him. God, he was tall. She didn’t notice at first, but he was one of the first men she’d met who actually made her feel small, which was a feat. “Are you his roommate?”Finn had mentioned he got a new roommate. The man shook his head, black hair tumbling into his eyes. Brown eyes, she noticed, soft even when he stared at her with impressed frustration in every other part of his face. He had moles that dotted his skin and thick lips and black hair that he brushed away from her face. Rey swallowed. Finn had a good looking roommate. A very good looking roommate.
“I think you have the wrong place. You should go.”Rey frowned and pulled up the address she wrote down. “No, look it says five-five-three…”The stranger watched her with a deadpan expression as she took in the numbers behind his head. Five-five-four.“Oh. Oh its next door. I’m so sorry for bothering you.”
The stranger forced a smile as she hastily backed out of his house. “Thanks for letting me get out the rain. I’m so sorry!”
He started to close the door, but Rey peeked her head back once more. “Also, love the candle!”
You ran into Ben Solo!” Finn laughed in both amazement and awe. “Girl Scouts don’t even go to his door.”Rey shrugged and ignored the blush in her cheeks. “He seemed perfectly fine to me. And his house smelled nice.”“You went inside his house??”Rey gestured back to the deluge outside. “I thought you lived there and it was like this outside. My socks are wet, Finn. My socks.”“Fair point.” Finn popped the cap off his beer and leaned back before leaning forward, eyes narrowed at Rey. “No, no. Rey. I know that look... What are you thinking of doing?”She twisted a strand of hair around a finger and glanced away. “He was kinda cute.....”“Rey. No. Remember what I said about the Girl Scouts?”“What? He was good looking! And Girl Scouts can be scared by a lot of things.”Finn dragged his hands down his face. “I’m not denying that. But you just met him when you knocked on his door and thought it my place. You don’t need to date him.”
Rey pursed her lips and took a swig and leaned back. “Fair. But maybe I can convince him about the Girl Scout cookies then.”
The next day Ben Solo walked down to get his mail. He flipped through the useless spam and coupons, pulling out the bills and setting them aside. But his hand stopped on a scrap piece of paper with a phone number hastily scrawled underneath a name in a flowing script.
Loved the candle.
Rey.

Moodboard by me.
Seriously you all need to read this! I love the story and the writing style!!
By the way, I wrote a oneshot for the Reylo Fic Exchange! Author names just went live, so I can finally tell you about it. My prompt was for the fantastic and very cool @something-pithy, who left me about the greatest god damn review ever. It’s a post-TLJ canon-compliant love letter to the Supremacy, and also Rey and Ren like, try and steal science, there’s a heist and also an orgasm, it’s- just- you can read it if you want to, ok, thx.
Double Exposure
Summary: 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.
Excerpt: 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.
Read it on Ao3!
