A HUGE, neverending thank you to one of my best friends in the fandom, @wewantreylo for this ABSOLUTELY STUNNING artwork she commissioned by Panda Capuccino! I will forever be in awe over it. 😍 (Please do not repost this artwork without express permission from the artist.)

Story Summary:

To survive the Sun Lands, the people of Iza knew what they must do:

…Remain completely covered, or risk your skin turning to ash. …Do not drink water from the surface; drink only that which is pulled from the deep underground, cool and unspoiled by sunlight. …Eat only which grows beneath the moon, and never accept food from Skywalkers. …Fear the light, yes — but more importantly, fear those who walk freely in it.

–

When Kylo Ren emerged into daylight for the first time in years, he paid no heed to any of the warnings.

He knew them all, but he wasn’t afraid of the light, or Skywalkers.

He’d been one once, after all.

Excerpt:

"You won't do it."

A soft sound of indignation erupted from her throat, and the rage bubbled back up, scorching her veins.

"I don't need a blade to kill you, Ben," she said, voice low.

The ghost of a smirk tugged at the side of his mouth.

"I know."

A beat, two breaths. Then Rey inhaled; a mistake — she was assaulted by his scent; mint, and the fresh magic of the forest.

“No. I haven’t decided.”

I just posted chapter eight of my Reylo story Lovely, Dark and Deep. I hope it’s worth the wait! Gorgeous commission above by @winterofherdiscontent.

Being turned on or attracted to Rey doesn't erase the fact that Renperor has a crippling fear of intimacy. He thinks everything's okay until all of a sudden he's there, exposed, and he taps right out.

He has issues with both physical and emotional intimacy, which he represses enough to touch her and hold her, but the second clothes come off he starts to panic.

He's not used to being vulnerable and intimacy demands vulnerability and trust, especially when it comes with sex. It's too much for him to process all at once, too painful and raw.
