#Reylo At the centre of the shabby tent, a shadow in the low light, sits a man on a three-legged stool too rickety to hold his considerable bulk. Slicing a candied apple with a dull knife, he barely glances as she approaches, lifting slivers to plush lips one at a time. He seems an ordinary man. +

Candy Corn Kiss 💛🧡🤍 #clydephee #reyloween candy
Their first kiss tasted like candy corn.

Clyde didn’t even like the stuff. Strange waxy texture, sweet but in a sort of empty, disappointing way. 

Not Ophelia though. She was sweet and full of life and probably the hidden meaning to the universe, and her mouth tasted like the candy corn she’d offered him and he’d eaten gladly because why would he ever want to turn down anything she might offer him.(She was even dressed like one, in a big tri-coloured cone costume that fit over her head.)

She’d later found out from Mellie that Clyde didn’t like candy corn, though he would insist on buying a big bag for her every Halloween in the many years to come. One time a year when he could relive the taste of their first kiss.

So, my secret (admittedly early) autumn vibe is... brown bag purple plum pie. As long as there are purple (read prune) plums, and there still are, THAT is what we are doing. If I'm in a rush, it's the NYT plum torte. But the pie is the way. When it's all over, we move into tarte tatin territory.

Fall is here! And that means it's #Reyloween, and #ReyloGetStuffed is right around the corner! Everyone knows fall and spooky season is all about ✨ vibes ✨! So... what's your fall vibe? Are you a pumpkin advocate? Are apples your jam? Or does your vibe center around a secret third thing? #Reylo
Autumnal canva template: beige with cartoon pumpkin and vibe.

What's your fall vibe?
Is it pumpkin-coded, apple-coded, or a secret third thing?

(Illusionist counts as a sideshow, right?) The Illusionist’s Heist #clydephee #reyloween 🎪
“Now, my fine friends, I will need a brave volunteer from the audience.” The illusionist on stage made a show of looking around at the scattered raised hands amongst the crowd. Finally he seemed to settle on his choice.

“You there, ma’am. The lovely lady with the beautiful red hair. Miss Mellie, would you please escort tonight’s Disappearing Lady up to the stage?”

No matter that the lady’s hand hadn’t been raised. The illusionist’s assistant made her way to a finely dressed couple sitting in the quality seats, cushioned and gated away from the rabble of the general crowd. She held out her hand to the woman, who took it despite the protestations of the sputtering, well-heeled man seated beside her.

Now if any in the crowd knew the identity of this man and his date, they would surely have cried foul. An inside job! This woman was only chosen to participate in the illusion because she was the betrothed of the circus’ main investor, one Hamlet Prince. And while that may be the case, neither Hamlet nor Ophelia, his fiancée, knew the truth behind this illusion.And thus, the lady was brought to the stage, placed into an upright box, and made to disappear by the renowned illusionist Joe Bang—her disappearance coinciding with the arrival of federal agents who had been investigating the Prince family for multiple crimes. 

And when she reappeared, it was in the arms of the Bang Brothers Circus’ knife-thrower, “Lucky Clyde Logan,” Ophelia’s true love.

"Ben?” A woman’s lovely voice from behind him paused Ben’s rapid thoughts.

Slowly, he looked over his shoulder. His eyes widened, and his jaw slackened when he saw a beautiful woman with chestnut hair pulled back into an elegant bun standing in a formal champagne-colored dress while holding a clutch in her two hands. Her arms were toned with a sprinkling of freckles along her sun-kissed skin. A simple pair of earrings dangled from her ears, and the light shimmer of eyeshadow made him zero in on her hazel-colored eyes. He nervously swallowed while turning his body to greet her.

“Rey?” Ben asked in return. 

Of course this woman is Rey. Who else would meet him downtown dressed in formal wear? Just as Ben started to chastise himself mentally, Rey’s bright smile calmed his frayed nerves.

“It’s time.” Han whispered.

“I can’t believe it’s finally come to this.”

“Come to what?”

“To the point where we can no longer go to any of our previous bases.”

“Sweetheart, you’ve been past that point.” Han sighed while leaning against a nearby wall. “I thought it was crazy for you to hide on any base we brought Ben to.”

“You’re right… I was so foolish.” Leia’s eyes drifted to her clasped hands.

“Nah. If anything, you were full of hope.”

Leia looked across the base at the lush plants.

“You hoped he would know where to go… that he would come home.”

“Don’t get sentimental on me now.” Leia tsked.

Kylo stands, not even bothering to brush the dirt and mud off of him. He stares at his master, the feeling of belonging clicking into place. 

He is led away, led through a labyrinth of tents until he is taken to a room that has one sole vanity and seat. A garment bag hangs along the fabric wall and Kylo strips down to bare skin.

His thoughts are fairly vacant and he sits down at the vanity as if in a trance. 

Kylo stares blankly into the mirror before picking up the white cake make-up. It smears with the sweat and the mud that cling to his skin until there is nothing but the faint trace of the surface made pale across his forehead. The white make-up dances around the hair line and down the column of his neck, his eyes peeking out strangely from his face. His nose blends, nearly less obvious than usual.

“Tell me what you want so we can end this,” she snarled.

“You wanna know what I want, baby? Oh…I’ll tell you.”

She felt his long leg pressing itself between hers and her heart stopped. He pushed a little harder, until her knees gave and parted just a little. She hated how she trembled. She hated how she could barely focus on anything besides every place where he touched her. She hated him. She should be doing everything to get away and yet, she just stood there and let herself become trapped.

“I want you exactly as you are right now,” Kylo said, the words a deep, manipulated purr. “Angry, spiteful, a little murderous. But also fucking scared. I love the way you wear your fear.”

“I am not scared,” she hissed. But the words sounded weak even to her own ears.

“Yes you are,” he argued. “You don’t know what I’m about to do and it scares you. You’re curious, and that scares you too.”

Rey: *actively trying to m*rder Kylo* Kylo: “wow, she’s so pretty when she looks like she wants to tear my throat out and wear my trachea like a hat” dark romance au for #reyloween 🩸
He chuckled grimly. “Where’s the fun in that, baby?”

She closed the distance between them in a flash, but he saw it coming and leaned into it, barely evading the tip of her knife again. 

“Jesus,” he exclaimed. 

She was already rounding on him again, raising her arm to slash at him with her knife. His hands caught her forearms and squeezed tightly, holding her close. She hissed like a feral cat and squirmed, thrashing against him. He considered himself to be physically fit—strong, even—but she was increasingly difficult to hold onto. He grit his teeth and dug his fingers into her flesh, all too happy to leave bruises in his wake.

But then she stilled, only for a second, and he saw the flash of that inferno in her deadly gaze and his brain temporarily stopped working. As such, he didn’t move fast enough for what came next. 

“Don’t fucking call me baby!” And then her knee came perilously close to his groin.

Wonder if Ben thinks this is going as well as Rey does #reyloww #reylo
She smiled through small talk and asked him questions about his job as if she'd never heard of “equity” before. She found herself genuinely intrigued by his answers, not because he said anything particularly interesting but because he almost seemed to be trying to convince himself of the rosy picture he painted of venture capitalism. He started shifting in his seat uncomfortably and Rey tried to think of something to change the topic to, anything but his family.

It was hard to resist seeing as he was an Organa. His mother was Leia Organa, the only female head of a venture capital firm Rey had ever heard of. Rey had even met her briefly when she worked at a couple gigs held by Skywalker Capital. Ben didn't work for Skywalker Capital and as much as she wondered why, there were questions she'd much rather avoid if she turned the topic to family.

Does my fic have to be complete?
If it is a one-shot, yes. If it is a multi-chapter, no. You only need one completed chapter or prologue to join the collection before November 24. Drabbles and microfics are welcome, too.

If I’m already working on a Thanksgiving fic, can I add it to the collection?
Yes! As long as it’s new to AO3, we don’t care *when* you started it.

Can I promote my fic?
YES. We encourage you to use ReyloSSS and ReyloWW, as well as our collection prompts, in addition to any other teasing/promo you wish to do. We also encourage you to promote your peers’ fics, too. Boost each other, and boost yourselves!

You may choose to stuff Rey and Ben however you please. 

Can I use AI?
NOPE. No AI. Any work found to have used AI in its creation will be removed from the collection. 

How do I participate?
Write a fic, and add it to the reylo_get_stuffed_2026 collection on AO3. The moderators will approve your fic’s addition, and the fic will remain hidden until the reveal.

Can artists/manip creators/moodie creators participate? 
Sure! You can choose to drop your art/manip/moodie the week of Nov 21-28 on the BlueSky timeline, and if you tag it with #ReyloGetStuffed, we will give you a boost!

Does the fic have to be about Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is the basic premise, but you can approach it however you like. 

It can be about how the characters hate it or love it (or they can skip the holiday altogether), or any aspect of the holiday that sparks your creative brain–food, family, friends, frustration, colonialism and injustice, crappy holiday travel and associated weather problems, Canadian Thanksgiving, U.S. Thanksgiving, turkeys, pies, decorative gourds, fall vibes, pumpkin spice (hey, who wants to write about pumpkin spice sex pollen?). 

In fact, if you’d rather write a canonverse AU, invent a Thanksgiving-like occasion of your own that brings our favorite characters together to get stuffed silly. 

The world is your oyster. Be as silly or as serious or as smutty as your heart desires.

don't ask me what this is idk either. his master is iskat bc I really liked her book #reyloww
The shuttle dropped through clouds of brown dust and landed hard. His teeth clacked together, biting out the edge of his tongue. Blood flooded his mouth, hot as fried wires, and Ben knew Jakku was going to be miserable. 
The ship’s stabilizers kicked in a moment later, leveling them. Didn’t need to be able to see for a machine to do the job. His Master was… not the most adept pilot, but she should be forgiven. Outer Rim landings were always rough. They did not have spaceports or landing strips. They had dirt. Flat dirt if you were lucky. Ben Solo was not, in matters of probability, a lucky boy. 
“Clear?” his Master called from the front of his ship. 
Ben swallowed blood. “All good, Master. Perfect landing.”
She snorted. “Lie better, padawan.” She slid her hand across the console, flipping a dozen switches and powering down the ship. 
“Perfect landing,” he said in his best imitation of his mother’s voice when kissing the ass of some senator. 
His master flipped off three engines in the wrong order, and a choking bang rattled through the rear of the ship. Ben winced. He was going to have to fix them—and probably the landing gear—when they got to a real spaceport. He smothered the thought that she did it on purpose to annoy him. 
His Master grinned back at him, showing sharp teeth. “Much better, little prince.”
He did not glare at her.
Jedi Master Iskat Akaris was a short, red Pkorian woman with a narrow frame, long fingers, and a jittery gait. She wore black Jedi robes, unmarked and starch stiff, clean enough that she could enjoy dirtying them planetside. Her lightsaber was clipped to her belt innocuously . The Emperor liked them to stand out just so. Jedi were symbols of his humble hand after all, thoughtful and ready to bloody.
She was a good Master. Well, for him anyway. All wrath and justice and simple solutions to complicated problems. What he, supposedly, needed to set him straight. 
Stay close,” Master Akaris ordered as she unbelted herself and rose to exit the ship. Her hand ruffled his hair like he was a child. “This planet is full of thieves.” 
“Yes, Master,” Ben said quietly, ignoring the hand, the taste of metal in his mouth. He followed obediently behind. 
The ramp lowered smoothly, and Ben was glad at least this was not so broken he would have to repair it later. Heat rolled in, dry and heavy. The settlement spread out ahead of them in low structures made from scrap metal, fired clay, and scavenged hull plating. Power cables ran across the rooftops. Water collectors stood skeletal and brittle, some broken, some functional. 
Niima Outpost, a place to find and sell scrap stolen from old Imperial ships. Ben wondered how hot the metal got in the desert. If it burned their thieving little fingers to the bone.

Chapter 3 of ‘The Widow Skywalker’ forthcoming. ☺️ #Reyloww
Before falling asleep in the quiet dark space made by the long draping tablecloths shrouding the ground under the head table, belly full of delicious food and icing-laden cake, head pillowed by his father's discarded tuxedo jacket, Ben, watching with a smile as the happy couple had taken the dance floor for their first dance, the strains of Richard Marx crooning 'Right Here Waiting for You," had had a brief, hazy thought that weddings were so much fun, he couldn't wait to have one of his own.

They should be skin to skin, a little voice in the back of her head insisted. It would help. She took a slow breath and asked again. "What do you remember, Alpha?"

Still haven’t found a title for this dark romance fic for #reyloween, just hoping it’ll fall into my lap one of these days 😅 #reyloww
She was still grumbling incoherently as she walked to her fridge and opened a container of what looked like leftover spaghetti and meat sauce. She grabbed a fork and ate it cold while leaning against her kitchen counter. He tilted his head at the screen. 

Cold spaghetti at two A.M.? She really is a freak.

He yawned as he watched her eat and put the remaining leftovers away. He was about to turn his computer off, assuming she was just going to go to bed now and he didn’t really feel the need to watch her sleep (anymore), when she pulled her shirt over her head.

Kylo went completely still as he watched. He’d never seen her undress before. She always did it in the ensuite bathroom, and he refused to put cameras in bathrooms—he wasn’t that depraved. But now…

Oh, fuck me.
