Reylo Trashcan

Hey I'm so glad you like my recs!

I don't have many smuggler!Ben or redeemed!Ben fics bookmarked, but here are a few that I thought you might like.

Through the sorrow, all through our splendor by Ever-so-reylo Rated E, 7.4k words My notes: this is a post-TROS fix-it that is really beautifully written. If you haven't read it I highly recommend.

Summary: “Do you remember when I killed you?” “Yes.” He is almost smiling. Not quite. “Do you remember when you yanked me back to life?"

The Supreme Leader’s Guide to the Galaxy: How to Build an Empire, Destroy an Empire, and Still Get the Girl by Ever-so-reylo Rated E, 4.4k words My notes: this was just adorably cute, but it is pretty short and written in list form. Basically what redeemed!Ben would say to a past him.

Summary: If you do it well, she will finally take your hand. If you do it very well, she will whisper your name and cup your face with her cool fingers. If you do it perfectly, she might even kiss you. Or: Ben Solo, now living happily with Rey, looks back at his life and gives his younger self several excellent pieces of advice.

Diverging by LovesBitca8 Rated E, 26.7k words My notes: Basically what would have happened if Kylo didn't kill Han in TFA and decided to be Ben Solo again.

Summary: Han catches sight of her first. He climbs the next six steps with eyes on her, like he’s approaching a stray cat. “Rey,” he says. “This is my son, Ben.” Her eyes flicker to Kylo Ren, face pink, eyes wet, and gaze intent on her. Then back to Han. “He’s coming home.” Or Ben goes with Han. And Rey isn't happy about it.
