REYLO MODERN AU FIC RECS

Hi!! I spent my entire winter break reading reylo fics and I feel like I’ve found some gems! I’m boring and don’t like angst, so most of these are pretty fluffy, however, always read the tags before reading. Anyways, happy reading!

Already Home - College, Roommates, A/B/O, Soulmates AU - Complete - Rated E - 79k

“Oh stop being all Alpha-y.” She flexes her foot, rolling her ankle as if to prove a point, and he doesn’t miss the wince that crosses her expression. “You aren’t my Alpha, and you definitely aren’t my soulmate,” she mutters.

He can’t help but let out a dry laugh. “Thank god for small mercies.”

Okay so this is a trope fest but it was so good! I’m not gonna explain the plot in depth because I think going in blind is best for this!

Baby, It’s Just Biology - Professor/Student, A/B/O AU - Complete - Rated E - 113k

For Rey Jackson, trying to finish your degree in Biomedical Science at Harvard is difficult enough when you’re one of the few Omegas on campus.

It’s made even more difficult when your Professor is the one to trigger your heat. You can’t help it, it’s just your biology.

An Alpha Omega love story.

This is the perfect balance of angst, fluff and pure smut. This one Is a lot angstier than anything else on this list, but you can see every stage of this relationship and I loved it so much! Please read the tags on this one!

I’ve got you (under my skin) - Nanny/Single Parent AU - On Hiatus - Rated E - 81k

“Hi, I’m Rey. I’m here for the—”

“Nanny,” Ben blurts out dazedly, still trying to remember how to form coherent thoughts. “You’re the nanny.”

Her smile hitches up a little wider. “Well, I might be.”

Suddenly, Ben thinks he might be in for a whole new world of problems.

Because Rey Johnson is still most likely the only thing standing between him and disaster, that much hasn’t changed, not by a long shot.

And Ben can’t seem to stop staring at her mouth.

In which Ben hires Rey to watch his son… but he can’t seem to stop watching her.

Okay so I almost never read WIPs, but this one was left off in a pretty good place so don’t worry about cliffhangers or anything. I am a sucker for single dad!Ben so expect more of these. I loved this fic so much and get ready for a SMUTFEST.

Light My Fire - Rivals to Lovers, College, A/B/O AU - Complete - Rated E - 20k

When rivals Ben and Rey break into a professor’s office together, it comes out that Rey might not be the Beta she thinks she is.

I’ve never been the biggest reader of enemies to lovers, until this. This was so so so good! I loved their banter so much, and this is another smutfest lol.

Peacock - Fake Dating, Enemies to Lovers, Neighbors AU - Complete - Rated E - 72k

Thanks to a series of misunderstandings, failed attempts at flirting, and loud Katy Perry music, Ben grows to hate his new neighbor.

Proposing to her wasn’t the best solution to his problems.

This is, hands down, one of the funniest fics I have ever read. I cried actual tears because of how funny this is. Slowish burn, but their banter will keep you engaged the whole time. I love this so much!!

An Unexpected Vacation - Scientist, A/B/O AU - Complete - Rated E - 62k

“You don’t care that someone, that people will watch you fuck?” He looks two seconds away from puking. “Like multiple, multiple people will be able to describe your vagina. They’ll probably analyze it in a boardroom. Someone will feel proud about a shitty PowerPoint full of annotated pictures. They will use words like ‘arousal fluid’ and consult charts and these things will never not be digitally saved. That doesn’t bother you?”

“Are you suggesting my vagina is unworthy of analysis?”

–

In which Rey attempts to bolster her bank account by volunteering to fuck an Alpha in a scientific study. Plans go pear-shaped when she accidentally triggers scientist!Ben’s first Rut.

This was a really funny smutfest and I loved that. I loved Rey and Ben so much, and Ben was the perfect “I hate everyone but you” boyfriend! I love this!

She Doesn’t Normally Bite - Single Parent/Teacher AU - WIP - Rated E - 37k

Ben Solo is a single dad to 6-year old Ellis. Her teacher isn’t the old-cat lady that he expects and naturally, sparks fly when they meet. Rey helps show Ben that he is allowed to be happy and the romance is DELICIOUS. There will be the happy ending we all deserve.

Both Ben and Rey have a lot to navigate, and of course - things are never straight forward.

Tw: Bens wife died when their daughter was born - whilst it is mentioned periodically, it does not form a significant part of the story. There’ll also be warnings in the notes for the particular chapters it’ll be mentioned in.

THIS THE ONLY WIP I WILLL EVER READ REY AND BEN ARE SO FREAKING CUTE AND ELLIS IS SUCH A CUTE KID AHHHHHHH! That is all.

Down an Inch, Up an Inch - A/B/O, Soulmates, Gym Rats AU - Complete - Rated E - 60k

Omega instructor Rey has always been the master of her domain at Rebel Belle Barre and wouldn’t dream of dating an Alpha.

When her new neighbors at Supremacy Bootcamp start ruining her classes with their terrible music, she storms over to give them a piece of her mind. She challenges the beefy ex-Marine owner Ben Solo to a plank-off and the loser has to take the other’s class. When they spark an unusual connection, can Rey stay away for long?

Has she bitten off more than she can chew with the gentle giant Alpha with the warm, sad eyes?

SMUT FREAKING FESTTTTT. Okay but I loved these two so much, even though I am opposed to working out in any shape or form! I love the non-traditional soulmate part, and I really loved Rey in this.

Tea for Two - Enemies to Lovers, University Setting AU - Complete - Rated E - 67k

’“This is a tea house, you know.” The plummy, ultra-posh voice startled Rey Kenobi from her day-dreaming, almost spilling the scalding hot coffee over her chest.’

Rey, an American former hacker, turned cyber security expert, has been commissioned by Oxford University to protect their systems from hackers. Unfortunately, she has to work closely with Professor Ben Solo, Merton Professor of English Literature who also happens to be Lord Ben Solo, member of the English peerage. And an unmitigated snob.

She drinks coffee. He drinks tea. He only reads classic literature. She reads Marvel comics. He is nobility. She is a nobody.

Things should go swimmingly, shouldn’t it?

SO. MUCH. UNRESOLVED. SEXUAL. TENSION. I loved the slow burn aspect because I sat in bed because I was waiting for them to bone for so long. And after they bone its a smut and fluff-fest I loved this so much!

And They Were Roommates - Roommates, A/B/O AU - Complete - Rated E - 49k

“This isn’t going to work.” He points a finger between the two of them. “This arrangement.”

Her eyes narrow. “You didn’t put any specifications on who could apply.”

“Yeah…” He rubs the back of his neck then, the action making it look longer, making her wonder what it might feel like under her fingers. “You have to know that this isn’t a good idea.”

She knows what he means, she does—but she’s so tired of being brushed aside for her designation that she challenges him anyway. “And why not?”

His eyes bore into hers, his expression blank as he says, “Because I can tell how much scent-block you put on—and I can still smell you.”

In which Rey’s new roommate turns out to be a lot more than she bargained for.

EVEN. MORE. UNRESOLVED. SEXUAL. TENSION. Like these two would be eating cereal and I would be chanting, “bone! bone! bone!” the whole time. I loved these two, and the family aspect of this one was so good.

Imprints - A/B/O, Boss/Employee AU - Complete - Rated E - 74k

“I was happy you’ll be working with someone you know. He’ll take good care of you.”

Take good care of you.

The words send a shiver down her spine, sparking memories that flood her with embarrassment. She feels a strange itch just below her ear, her gland giving a phantom pulse as if her body remembers the incident even still.

Suddenly her triumph fades into dread, the idea of working here leaving a hollow pit in her stomach. Poe is still talking, but she doesn’t hear most of it. Her mind is firmly trapped in the vivid memories of six years ago— in a moment she wishes she could forget.

By the time she hangs up the phone— she isn’t sure anymore if she can do this.

Okay so this is pretty popular so I wont say too much, but it lives up to the hype. Smutfest, fluff and angst rolled into one beautiful fic!

Bespoke - Enemies to Lovers, Boss/Employee (?) AU - Complete - Rated E - 38k

When new stylist Rey Jackson receives a request to dress the hottest (and most unfashionable) new actor in Hollywood, she gets a lot more than she bargained for.

Mentally AND physically.

Because Ben Solo is freaking massive.

THIS WAS SO HOT OMG! Smutfest but also super cute. Another “I hate everyone but you” version of Ben I fell in love with. Loved this!

Incognito - Coworkers AU - Complete - Rated E - 30k

“Somehow Rey’s coworkers find out about her Daddy kink. They all kink shame her for it, except her coworker Ben. He has something else in mind.”

This was so funny! Ben and Rey were so cute, and I love Finn and Rose in this too! This was great!

A Home For Christmas - Single Parent, Sugar Daddy AU - Complete - Rated E - 109k

Rey is a struggling single mother who needs to do right by her daughter, even if it means she needs to steal. Ben is sad and lonely, recently divorced for the second time. When Rey’s daughter picks him to help her find her mom, their paths cross and their Christmas becomes a little more bright.

This was so freaking cute OMG!! I know I say that a lot, but this was so adorable! I loved Ben and Rey so much, but Nova was obviously the star of the show. I cannot recommend this enough!

Unsuppressed - Office, A/B/O AU - Complete - Rated E - 49k

Rey had only ever encountered two Alphas in her entire life that had been unsuppressed. And now this third one that stunk up the entire building. Not that it stunk, his scent. In fact, it was the most delicious thing Rey had ever smelled. ///////////////////////////////////// Ben Solo closed his eyes as he rode down the elevator from the 40th floor to the lobby, trying not to reach up to his glands to scratch them. Somehow, it felt like he always caught the elevator that was dripping in the Omega’s scent. The one that wandered around the building without any suppressants. The one that smelled better than any Omega he had ever smelled before.

STRAIGHT FLUFF AND SMUT OMFG!!! I loved this so freaking much! This was whatever the opposite of unresolved sexual tension and slow burn. Like Ben and Rey tried to make this a slow burn but they could not keep their hands off of each other. I loved this!

Sunshine and Gunpowder - Hitman, Surprise Parents AU - Complete - Rated E - 48k

She’s a teacher who would do anything to protect her student. He’s a glorified hitman with a heart of black gold.

Together, they make up odd halves of a beautiful whole.

THIS WAS SO CUTE!! Like, yes, I know Ben is a hitman, but when I tell you he was the softest hit man I have ever read, Temiri was so cute in this! I loved Ben and Rey, and their UST made me love them even more. Han and Leia are also hilarious in this!

It Takes a Village - A/B/O, Surprise Parents AU - Complete - Rated E - 40k

Who knew that all it would take for Rey Johnson to interact with her enigmatic Alpha neighbor without wanting to melt into a puddle of hormones was a baby being abandoned at her doorstep?

Not her. That was for sure.

THIS IS THE CUTEST ONE YET! I REREAD THIS QUITE OFTEN! LIKE AHHHHHHH SO FREAKING FLUFFY! NOT EVEN A WHISPER OF ANGST AND A LOT OF SMUT I LOVED THIS SO FREAKING MUCH AHHHH! AND THE EPILOGUE MADE ME CRY!

Sensual Storytime - Office AU - Complete - Rated E - 23k

When Rey Johnson starts a new job, her initially antagonistic relationship with Ben Solo from IT turns into friendship… and maybe something more.

Little does she know he also moonlights as Kylo Ren, the creator of her favorite audio erotica. One day at the office, worlds collide, and she realizes the sweater vest-wearing nerd of her dreams is also the tattooed fantasy man she listens to while getting off every night…

THIS IS MY FAVORITE REYLO FIC EVER. I RECOMMEND THIS TO PEOPLE WHO DON’T EVEN LIKE STAR WARS! THIS IS COWORKER BANTER LIKE NO OTHER. AND THE SMUT ? UNPARALLELED. READ THIS NOW!

That is all I have time for right now, but I’ll make another list later if anyone would like that! Please take care of yourself and have a great day!

Understanding The Plot of Your Book

Sounds silly doesn’t it? ‘Of course I understand my book’, I hear you say, I would have said the same before. You might be right, but here is a very simple exercise/test to ensure that you do:

One line summaries.

Previously, these words invoked a feeling of dread in my soul but they don’t need to! It all changed once I started to follow this easy structure:

While struggling with their everyday life, Character finds the catalyst; BUT when the stakes rise they must learn the theme before the consequences ruin their life.

Let’s take The Hunger Games for example:

With her family on the brink of starvation, 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen must leave them and take her sister’s place in the Hunger Games, an annual event where 24 teenagers fight to the death until only one survives; But when she is hunted by a pack of elite, highly trained tributes, she must learn who she can trust and form an alliance before they kill her and her family are left to rot.

Well damn, that sounds dramatic and enticing, but it also lays out our characters life, wants and challenges all in a single (albeit rather long) sentence.

After writing my one line summary, I began to understand my plot in a much clearer light. I understand my theme, my focus and it allows me to ground my plot as I edit my manuscript. I only wish I’d known to do it before!

Whatever stage your at—drafting, editing, querying—I highly recommend you give this a try. Feel free to drop a one sentence summary of your WIP below as getting feedback is always really helpful! I’m there much could be done to improve the one line summary I’ve given above, so feel free to improve on that too.

Juulna’s ‘Hold Onto Your Sanity’ Reylo Fic, Book, and Music Recs for the 2020 Dumpster Fire

So you just crash-landed behind enemy lines in a war you know barely anything about except that your role seems infinitesimal and insignificant, and dumped into a year, 2020, that already seems fifteen years too long.

Before you drown your sorrows in some fantastic scotch or wine coolers for days (or weeks)… I have a proposal.

That you step back from the flames, tune things out for a bit, and try to forget about the outside world for a while (but don’t forget to vote or I will be very sad at you!).

Some of you will recognize a fair amount of these recs from mine or other people’s rec lists, mostly because I come back to them time and again, but there are absolutely some new (or newly-found) gems in here for your reading pleasure. These fics are meant to take you out of your head (I’m including more plot/story-minded fics than PWP) for the next few weeks or months as the world goes to hell (even more) but of course there are some bits of solid angst in these as there is wont to be in many a fic. Check the tags, read responsibly, don’t like-don’t read, and please do leave a kudos and maybe even a comment! :)

I was asked to create a Reylo-specific version of my rec list series, and ultimately I chose to give in to this request because they are a good friend. I did, however, include the original rec lists’ Books and Spotify sections, as books and music are always awesome. <3

Part I found here (Marvel) Original Part II found here (Star Wars and Game of Thrones)

Part 3, 4, and maybe even 5 are all currently being worked on for hopefully-soon release, because we all need some fandom in the coming three weeks!

There. This is much better, isn’t it?

So my challenge to you, if your world is falling, burning down around you in flames… is this:

…if you feel yourself getting anxious or depressed, whether from the news or being cooped up in isolation or bored or on the verge of tearing your hair out or jumping off that roof or grabbing something to go after the dictator-of-the-week…. pause, take a breath, open up this rec list, close your eyes and pick something, and let chance take you somewhere hopefully far away. Let yourself be transported.

Oh, and don’t click on this Google Drive link. Really, there’s not 30+ GB of data on that Drive I’m sharing. Shame. There totally aren’t tens of thousands of books, as many audiobooks as could fit, and a large collection of fanfiction downloaded from AO3 in there. (Also, not all fics have been shared to that folder yet; I’m working on it a little at a time as I download more.)

P.S. Please feel absolutely welcome to reblog and add your own additions or self-promotions! I will reblog as many new versions as I get, as often as I can. Let’s spread the love, people, and sharing what you love to read or listen to or do is just as important as reading what other people like me love and rec!

And if one of my tags didn’t tag or I tagged the wrong person/not at all, don’t be shy—tag them for me! I definitely did try to track everyone down though. :)

how fucking cute is this shit

galacticidiots

It’s depresso hours, any new teeth rotting fluffy fic finds, o good fluff sommelier?

Here are some vintages and rosés to sweeten your palate and complement your meal:

and now I see daylight (T, 10K) Endearingly soft with a generous smattering of ABBA. They’re neighbours! Ben is sick and Rey kisses him back to health!

Sugar On My Tongue (T, 12K) Rey is a florist and Ben is a baker. If you’ve ever wondered what I spend all my sleepless nights thinking about, guys - it’s this.

Leave A Message (G, 1K) ADORBS!! A story told through the voicemails Ben leaves Rey.

Anesthesia (M, 3K) Rey says some pretty revealing things after surgery. It’s so cuuuuuute, I weep.

Winging it (E, 6K) In which a misunderstanding leads to a veeerrry fortunate turn of events.

Collide (T, 2K) I would die for protective!Rey, actually.

Fool Me Once (E, 5K) The one where Poe sets them up but only tells one of them that it’s a date date. Hilarity ensues.

It’s Always Been You (E, 5K) Marriage paaaaaaact betwen besties. There’s a tiny bit of angst but it just makes the fluff sweeter.

spare key (E, 8K) The one where Ben’s neighbour wakes up beside him, sometimes. godIwishthatwereme.png. An element of sadsies, but like before, I think it only adds to the overall sweetness.

No Chance, No Way (E, 49K, ABO) In which they are co-workers who write Valentine’s Day themed articles. There’s a lot of meat on these bones but I think the fluff aspect is pretty strong and it certainly deserves a spot on this list.

let’s taco-about it (M, 5K) They’re co-workers and eat lunch together. Sometimes thats all you need, ya know?

a dash of ladybug wings (M, WIP) Ben ingests a love potion and proceeds to act… exactly the same way around Rey. Shocking, huh?

Perhaps you’re feeling bored at home or, if considered an “essential” worker like me, you need a little fun and stress relief. Here is my masterpost of fic recs from my two years of reading so far. Maybe you’ll find something new, or reconnect with an old favorite. Either way–

Enjoy! 😷💕

Hi! I loved Flowers for Every Season, do you have any more recs that are secret marriage themed? Or just generally cute and fluffy established relationship? Thank youuu :)

@rey-organaswolo

Not gonna lie … this request was a tough one for me. Secret marriage is hard to find in this fandom and I usually lean closer to angst than fluff in my selections. My Valentine’s Day Post was full of some of the “fluffiest” fics I have read and there was still an undercurrent of angst in most of the fics. BUT … I, too, really enjoyed Flowers for Every Season, so I reflected on “why?” and I think it has something to do with the “cheekiness” of it - it’s clever and endearing. So, below is my stab at fulfilling your request. I hope you enjoy some of them, but apologies in advance if I missed the mark.

call me home and I will build a throne by @galacticidiots BensCalligraphySet

Modern, Actors AU. I think this one would fit the bill the most - it’s got all the elements you ask for, but I recommend anything by this author when you are in the mood for something sweet, but not overly syrupy. you, me and us and Puppy Love in particular will put a smile on your face. BensCalligraphySet delivers well-written fics with a balanced level of sweetness, and is my go to author for a dose of sugar to ensure sweet dreams without putting you in a diabetic coma.

What Happens in Canto Bight … by @sand-its-everywhere SpaceWaffleHouseTM

Canonverse Post-TLJ, Fun, “woke-up-married”, can’t remember the night before, need to keep it secret until they figure out what the hell happened trope.

you’ve got to hide your love away by @sand-its-everywhere SpaceWaffleHouseTM

Canonverse, Post-TRoS. Returning to the Resistance with Rey after Exegol, Ben doesn’t receive the warmest welcome so he and Rey decide to keep their relationship secret. Much fluffier than the summary may imply.

Secret Agent Man (Smut Edition) by @r-e-a-l-m-a-t-h violethoure666

Modern, Bodyguard - Ben, President’s Daughter - Rey, secret affair, PWP.

Bedsharing Series by @dogfarts888

Part 1 - Canonverse, domestic fluff from Ben’s POV. Part 2 - Leia’s POV realizing there is something secret between her son and Rey.

I like all about you by Space_Samurai

Modern, Established Relationship. Rey eases Ben’s insecurities.

stuck on how it feels here next to you by @kuresoto

Modern, Roommates, Fake-Marriage (or is it?) AU with knitting and kittens.

I also recommend checking out my Inspired by: SNL post - anytime Randy or Matt make an appearance things are sure to be cute and cheeky. ;)

weirdlandtv

Publicity images from THE PHANTOM MENACE (1999). I’ve placed an emphasis on the lightsaber duels, as the promotional images of them differed from the film. (I couldn’t find a good version of the first one online so I’ve uploaded my own.)

Natalie Portman looked so beautiful in this film, both in her royal garbs and in plain clothes. And then in the next few films they had her wear these weird unflattering costumes. I’m thinking of those helmet-like hats mostly.

Are there people who used to dislike the prequels, but are now fond of them? Conversely, are there people who used to like the prequels but not anymore?

certain things happen in the dark; a reylo omegaverse modern au.

Rey Niima, independent Omega and millennial college graduate trying not to starve during the 2010 recession, takes a desperate job at a tech support call center. One bored Saturday evening, she watches as a tall, beautiful Alpha moves in to the luxury loft apartment building next door. To the apartment directly across from her window.

The rest, as they say, is history.
