Rey dreams of a great, dark beast, hunting her through a shadowed forest. Its eyes are red and it knows her, is waiting for her. She dreams of water, gray waves stretching as far as the eye can see. And she dreams of Ben. His eyes glow red and she calls him a monster.
Yes, he says. Yes, I am.
She wakes to find the bed empty beside her. One of Ben’s hairs is on the pillow where he lay and she picks it up, rubbing it between her fingers as she peers at it in the dim light. She carefully places it back on the pillow, like a piece of him she’s keeping safe. The sun has gone down and the room is gray and dull, the colours leached out of the quilt at the end of the bed and the corners filled with shadows.
She gets up, showers, and changes into a big sweatshirt and fresh underwear. She’s tying up her wet hair into a messy bun on her head as she walks into the living room when she sees him. Ben is sitting in a chair by the window facing her, the last light of sunset illuminating him. She makes a small startled sound and stops, freezing in place.
His eyes are black holes, but she can feel them on her. Her neck prickles.
“I couldn’t leave,” he says, his deep voice breaking the hush of the room.
A primal fear sends her heart racing. When she doesn’t reply, he adds, “Not until I knew you were okay.”
“I’m okay,” she says automatically. It’s true, maybe.
He doesn’t move.
She dares a step closer. The gloom has an almost physical feel to it, like she has to push through shadows to get to him.
“Ben,” she says.
He straightens in his seat, puts his hands on the armrests like he’s going to push himself up to stand.
I’m fine, she should say. You can go. The words are on the tip of her tongue. She opens her mouth. Sending him away now seems the right thing, the only thing to do.
They both jump at the beep of his tracker. It must be nine o’clock. Curfew time.
The sound seems to bring them both back to life. He stands up, the chair scraping across the wooden floor behind him.
She takes a deep breath and the crawling chill on her spine dissipates.
“Can I kiss you goodnight?” he asks, in front of her now.
In response, she reaches up, stands on her tip-toes to pull him down to her. Their mouths meet and he tastes so good, so warm, like everything she’s ever wanted. Dangerous.
“Fuck,” he mutters when they pull apart.
She could go with him, it occurs to her. He had asked her once before and she had run. She didn’t think he would ask again, but she knows he’ll say yes if she asks him.
“Goodnight,” she says instead. Maybe another time. The words echo in her skull like she said them out loud. “I’ll see you tomorrow,” she offers.

Thank you @littleststarfighter for your contribution to the kylux fandom. You brought so many stories and ideas to amazing visual life. You won’t be forgotten.
So I don’t usually (when I say usually I mean never) comment on the stories I read, one of those silent reader types. However I discovered your Summer Heat story and had to say how amazing it is. I can’t explain it in words. I hope one day you update it because it’s truly amazing and special. Though as someone who use to write fan fiction I understand that things happen and its hard to update or continue for one reason or another. But this story is so wonderfully written fantastic job! ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words <3 <3 It means a lot that you took the time to come tell me you enjoyed Summer Heat! :D

Thinking of you and Summer Heat. It's such a beautiful, brilliant, deep fic. It's utterly engrossing and transporting, with so much heart and baggage in your character studies. I continue to hope you'll come back to it some day. Thank you!
Awww thanks for letting me know you’re thinking about it! I think it about it pretty much every day as well, it really lives in my head. <3 <3
I do want to finish it, but I can’t promise anything. :( Thanks for your message! <3
Summer Heat was one of the first fics reviewed on the podcast. It is so wonderful, the world building is just amazing, the characters are brilliantly written and it is an ABO that will leave you wanting to know more about the genre. Even if it doesn’t come back, @isharan has given us an amazing gift in this fic. If you haven’t already gotten into it, even if you aren’t into ABO, Summer Heat will pull you in. You will become enthralled with this fic and you will love it.
Thank you so much for your kind words. <3 I really appreciate your support!
I want to let all the Summer Heat fans know that @darksideofme-reylo has written a Summer Heat spinoff fic called Heat and Chemistry that I am officially endorsing as Summer Heat canon-compliant! It features Kaydel and Luke and there is quite a surprise in store. :D
Please go and read it and drop a kudo and comment her way!

thanks to the @smuthuttpodcast for suggesting the very thing I always wanted—a femslash lemon hot remix. Featuring our two faves as disaster gays with the same ol’ Extreme Thirst. I convinced @isharan to come along with me for the first chapter!
I literally can’t believe that @pr3tty-g1rl5-fics tricked me into RPing fem!Kylo. She was all like “hey I wrote a bit want to read it, what do you think of my fem!Kylo” and then she MADE me headcanon stuff and I was like “oh this and this can happen” and THEN she so slyly suggested *I* write it out.
Fuck.
Anyway, fem!Kylo is a flailing disaster of a person who spends far too much time fantasizing and is barely in control of her own body. Enjoy.
I just remember the other day, I was in shock the moment I realized that the writer of my favorite crack fic of all time is also the writer of my favorite abo of all time! 😮😮😮🤣Great work and I hope someday to read the rest of Summerheat 😭❤️😊 as well as more of any other reylo fics you may come up with between here and 9. Your fics amongst others have made this year go by much more quickly & happily (amidst the angsty chpts😩😄). Much love!❤️ Thank you so much for sharing your talent w/us!
Hahahaha what a shock that must have been. :D I’m honoured to be included in two (2) of your favourites lists! Tbh if you squint a little, Lemon-hot Kylo and Summer Heat Kylo aren’t so far apart lmao. If you ignore the angst, SH-Kylo is just as awkward and horny as LH-Kylo. ;)
I’m so happy to hear that my fics have made the year fly by with fun (and angst cause that’s fun too, in a way haha)!

hi I just wanted to say that I love your writing, you're so extremely talented, I would probably read your grocery list. like. I usually hate crack and yet I couldn't help myself with the lemon fic? I just wanted to say that I hope you're doing well and to thank you for sharing your stories with us, the completely unworthy trash public. that's all. have a wonderful day
Awwww thank you for these kind words. <3 <3 I am doing well and sharing my stories has been a wonderful experience - I’m so happy that people read them!
Here’s a few things always on my grocery list; I hope you enjoy this little one shot! :D- saltine crackers- blueberries- Montreal-style bagels- animal crackers- string cheese- baby carrots
Yup I’m a snacker and I like carbs. :DIt’s so nice to hear that you gave Lemon-hot Summer a try. It is the purest sort of crack in that it is highly addictive. ;)
I will be keeping this Tumblr up unless it gets deleted and will continue to post here if/when I post anything on Ao3.
My Ao3 is IshaRen
Sorry I don’t use any other social media, and I know I haven’t replied to comments in a loooong time, but I do read every single one and treasure them! So you can always reach me there if my blog disappears in the Great Purge.
In case this is goodbye forever, thanks for all your love and support of my writing and Kylux obsession. I don’t usually miss Tumblr anymore, but today I’m feeling really sad about the changes and seeing all the goodbye posts.
Take care of yourselves and remember to keep yourself safe and comfortable! <3

i know you're on a break, but i wanted to let you know how much joy summer heat has brought me. thank you so much for writing and sharing it. it's incredibly special.
Gosh I’m sorry I took so long to reply to this! It’s wonderful to hear that my story brought you joy. <3 Thanks for letting me know!
So is Cary Island real, but Cary's Island (how it's written in your fic) fictional? And the dog's name is Bear. And it's Canada.
Hahaha okay so what happened is I was trying to think of a story to recreate for the Rewritten Reylo anthology last year. My friend joked that I should use the Marian Engel novel, Bear, and I was like l m a oooooooo……..WAIT.
(Sidenote: I learned about Bear from some Tumblr post then got it out from the library and sent the um….relevant parts to friends so they could share the horror. Yes, this is what being my friend is like. So that’s how my friend knew about the novel.)
I got to thinking about how I could remake the story for Reylo. Kylo had to be the bear ofc so I was trying to think how he could be in this isolated place and kind of not able to leave, while Rey could come to him. And then *poof* the idea was born of alpha!Ben being an outcast and Rey coming for the summer and getting to know him etc.
The setting is real! My grandfather and his friend built cottages beside each other on a lake in Ontario and that’s where it’s set. :) There was no road access to the cottages until after I was born, so they had to bring everything over by boat. I changed the name of the lake and called the island at the entrance to the bay Cary Island (from the novel). Everything is real from the swamps to the islands to the directions of the waves when it rains.
I’m so sorry I wrote this reply months ago and didn’t publish it for some reason. D: Anyway, here it is!
