Reylo Au - Tumblr Posts

Lol, Kylo Ren (the Drifter) tryna convinve Rey (Eris Morn) to eat somethin' funky smelling

I know these pictures have been all over Tumblr in the last few days, but they gave me bunny thoughts I had to share. 

Here's Ben, trapped in quarantine, gazing out the window, looking to see if Rey is approaching. He knows he should be grateful, he works mostly at the computer, and he's an important person, he has no worries about losing his job. He spends his day on his keyboard and Zoom in his comfortable apartment. But it kills him that Rey is an essential worker, and he finds himself often at the window, hoping that she'll come home early for some reason and he'll see her approach. She's careful, of course, she puts her scrubs in the washing machine and then takes a shower, but afterwards, she's his, to comfort from the stresses of the day, to cuddle and make slow, sweet love to her. She wanted to stay completely distant from him, but that was more than he could tolerate.

Sometimes he just drapes himself over the couch, when she hasn't been gone long and he knows it's pointless to look out the window. He can't focus on work any more, and needs a few minutes to be miserable and recoup, wishing that there were a few things in their apartment he could break. Since meeting Rey, he's been working on his anger management skills, but oh, he'd really love to smash things. Anger at the world's situation, anger at the risks Rey takes, anger that supporting her is all he can do, and that seems like such a small contribution to a massive problem. He can't find a way to release his anger, so he waits and mopes.

I made myself a bit sniffly about poor Ben in quarantine.

- A Reylo Victorian / Cinderella AU - 

Written for @midnightbluefox for the Anniversary Fic Exchange organized by @thereylowritingden

Summary: Rey is a disgraced scullery maid longing for the duke next door, watching from afar as he picks flowers from his garden. It only takes one masquerade ball for their paths to cross and, when they do, Rey discovers that there is more to Ben Solo than meets the eye. If only he weren’t so intent on recruiting her to find the masked woman who has captured his heart. If only he knew that masked woman was her.

~*~

Excerpt (Chapter 1)

News of the upcoming masquerade ball spread across London like wildfire.

It was not every day that an eligible bachelor announced his intention to find a bride for all to hear.

As she observed the preparations from her small window, Rey could not help the pang of jealousy that settled over her heart.  Every morning she caught a glimpse of the preparations, of the countless footmen and maids scurrying from one place to the other, arms laden with trunks and fabrics.

Every morning she heard the enthusiasm of the dowager duchess echo across the garden, the elation of a mother who was pleased her son would soon find a suitable bride.

And every morning she would be reminded of just how hopeless her dreams of love and belonging truly were.

That bride, Rey knew all too well, would never be her.
