THIS SHATTERED TEMPEST is out in the world tomorrow! Drafting took 2 years and all the emotions but it was worth it. I’m so proud of who Alaric and Talasyn have become and I’m so proud of the writer that *I* became in the process of bringing the HURRICANE WARS trilogy to its end.

#Reylo A beautiful fall day, the circus is in town and Rey needs a distraction. Strangely, no one seems to know of the travelling show; she gets blank looks mentioning it. Perhaps it’s for the best, it’s clearly well-worn—tents moth-eaten—yet a shiver goes down her spine when a clown greets her. +

Full Moon 🌕 #clydephee #reyloween
Clyde was going to burn Mellie’s latest, state of the art broomstick and not feel an ounce of guilt about it.

“A word, please?” he growled at her as he pulled her into the back room of the salon. “How could you fail to mention that you offered my spare room to Phee Bang of all people?”

“You know she and I don’t believe in that little rivalry of yours. And the wards at your trailer are always so much stronger than I can make them in town, especially with the full moon. She needs the protection.”Clyde didn’t like the sound of that.

“What’s she gotten herself into?”

“I’ll let her decide whether she wants to let you in on her business.”

“Would have been real nice if you’d let me in on your offer to her ‘fore I came out of the bathroom this morning bare ass nekkid.”

this fic is 90% banter because of course it is #reyloween #reylosss
Rey bristled. “Fuck you, asshole. I don’t want you here.”

“Oh, you don’t?”

“No. So leave, before I bury this knife in your thigh.”

She couldn’t see it, but she could sense he was smirking behind that stupid fucking helmet of his.

“Easy with the dirty talk, baby. We’ve gotta focus here.”

Ben can hear the crinkle as Rey walks into the room, the pocket of her hoodie sagging obscenely as she nearly tiptoes. She's not wearing pants. "Why so suspicious?" He asks, looking up from his book with an arched brow. "I'm not!" She says defensively. He closes the book-- #reyloween

(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.

The Circus (School) Comes to Town #clydephee microfic 🎪 #reyloween prompt: clown (Will hopefully post these to ao3 at some point)
It was likely to be one of the more amusing presentations Clyde had witnessed during his time on the Boone County Council of Small Businesses. Someone with a lot of money in the circus world and a connection to the area bought some land just outside of Danville and envisioned what would hopefully become “a world-renowned academy of circus arts.” The presentation was complete with a brief clowning and floor acrobatic demonstration.Sure, there were a lot of jokes made around town—Danville, West Virginia, home of the clown college. But Clyde saw no reason to object—the grounds, big top, and theatre they were building could be used by local schools and the Boone County amateur community theatre along with the circus students, and small businesses would see a boost from the resident students and staff as well as the tourism draw from their productions throughout the year.And Clyde certainly wasn’t complaining when one of the new clowning instructors, a pretty redhead who spoke English with a Québécois accent, struck up a friendship with his sister and began to make a habit of visiting the Duck Tape on Monday evenings.

fall festival vibes 🍂🍎🎃🌽 #reylofic
She’d barely looked his way all afternoon. Granted, he hadn’t really been trying to get Rey’s attention; he’d more so just wished for her to interact with him on the off chance that if he thought it at her hard enough she’d pick up on it like a radio frequency. In a shocking turn of events, that didn’t work.

It’s not like he could blame her. They were at a Fall Festival with all kinds of activities and food to distract the senses, with a group of their friends in tow. All of whom, by the way, were a hundred times more outgoing and extroverted than Ben ever could be. Of course Rey’s attention would be focused on anything other than the quiet, oversized shadow at the rear of the group.

When Finn had set up the group chat to plan this little outing, Ben’s first instinct had been to silence it or leave it. But then he saw the message “Rey Niima has been added to the chat” and scrapped that plan. When she confirmed her happy attendance, his stomach dropped and did some flips, a sickening sensation which Ben imagined to look like a dead fish just flopping around on land. That’s what this girl did to him. Deprived him of oxygen, bravery, and most of his good sense (which was low in stock as a general rule).

So, Ben spent much of the day glancing at her when he could manage it, catching the sound of her laughter over hundreds of voices, and pretending like none of it mattered to him even a little. 

Later, when the moon was fat and yellow in the darkening sky and the string lights twinkled above their heads, they all sat on picnic benches next to the mini doughnut truck and waited for the haunted corn maze to start. Ben nursed a cup of steaming apple cider and surreptitiously licked the cinnamon sugar off his lips. It was all fine, until she plopped down on the bench next to him.

“Hey, Solo!” she said with a smile that held his eyes captive. “Feels like I haven’t talked to you all day.” 

Because you haven’t. “It’s been busy.” “Yeah. Excited for the maze, though,” she supplied.

“You gonna scream like you did last year? Or punch one of the actors square in the jaw like the year before that?” 

“For your information, I haven’t decided yet.” 

“Mm. Surprise me.”

“Are you planning to finish those?” she asked and pointed at his paper bag half-full of the melt-in-your-mouth sugary doughnuts.

“I was thinking about it.” 

“Cool.” She stuck her greedy little fingers in the bag and plucked out a doughnut then tossed it straight in her mouth.

Ben couldn’t even be outraged. He just smiled as her eyes fluttered closed and she groaned in her throat. 

“Oh my god. I wonder if the doughnut guy would take me home with him?” 

Ben scoffed. “I think he’s some Boomer with gout. Do you still stand by that?”

“Damn. I was picturing someone else shaking this magical dust onto steaming, fresh from the oil bites of heaven.” Rey sighed. “My imagination always gets the best of me.” 

“Who were you picturing?” Ben asked, entirely out of curiosity and not to torture himself with the no doubt unsatisfying answer.

Rey’s eyes glimmered as she looked at him and the corners of her lips—sparkling with sugar crystals—curled upward in a mischievous sort of way.“Well,” she began, drawing the word out, “I was thinking of someone like—”

“Oh, it’s starting! C’mon, we’ve gotta get in line.” 

Ben desperately wanted Rey to finish that thought. Leave it to Poe and his group leader mentality to ruin what could have been an interesting moment.

“Let’s go,” Rey said. She tossed another doughnut in her mouth before grabbing his hand and tugging. 

He tried to ignore the way that made him feel but found he couldn’t when they were standing in line and she was still holding on.

His mouth was dry, but he said, quietly, “Rey…?”

There was that smile again and those eyes that always seemed to say more than her voice did, even if he could never quite comprehend it.

“Don’t let go, okay? If you do, I might punch somebody again.”

He smiled shyly and squeezed her hand just a little. “Are you scared or something?”

“Yeah, but you’re not. Right?”

“You have no idea.”

"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.

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.

The Falcon coughed out a code at 0300. Ben stared at the blinking panel, then at the hydrospanner in his hand, then at the panel again. He knew this code. He'd seen it three weeks ago, when Rey said "the coupling's going to go, Ben," and he said it's fine, and she said "it's not fine."

Kylo sat up at the sound, unfamiliar after so many years. It never rained in space, and judging by Rey's soft smile and outstretched hand, it never rained on Jakku either. It was nice, not being glared at or shot at or sliced open with a saber. She froze when she sensed him.

Working on something new for reyloween. Who wants some murder spouse? Featuring Bestie Rose, rose's adopted brother Ben
Rose giggles. “No. But she likes to have parties and Han cooks pretty often.”

“Han?”

“Oh, my dad, he's just more like a dad you call by name, ya know? Anyway, my brother cooks. I think he just does it to try to impress girls.” Rose shuts the door, revealing a tall, dark and brooding figure in the doorway. 

“I don’t do it to impress girls,” he grumbles, clearly sulking as he walks to the cupboard to grab a glass before filling it with water at the sink. 

“Ah, Ben, you came home early.”

“I was able to take my finals early,” he says, glancing over his shoulder at Rey.

“Ben, this is Rey, she’s in my English class. Rey, this is Ben, my brooding,  big brother.”

He scowls. “I don’t brood.”

They ate their food and Kylo fully enjoyed watching her eyes roll back in her head at the first bite of her meal. 

“Holy shit,” she moaned, throwing propriety out the window. “This is so fucking good.”

She better praise me like that when I fuck her, he thought. If I’m not better than a plate of ravioli…I don’t think I’ll ever come back from that.

Working on a Paper Tiger au // 1980s NYC // crooked cop Gary Pearl x Times Square stripper Rey
A screenshot from the poster for Paper Tiger, an illustration of Adam Driver’s half profile, his hair dissolving like smoke A woman wearing red stocking and suspenders lies on a bed in a green-tinged room, with a beaded lamp behind her. We only see her legs and one thigh In the dim crimson haze of the club floor, the man comes into focus. It only takes Rey a split-second to assess him, to check — as she always does— for danger. Even sitting, beer in his hand, he's a head taller than the others, with long, dark that curls at the back of his neck. Her trained eyes find the thick gold watch on his wrist that smacks of a heavy wallet. Pinky rings glint from each of his two little fingers and that tells her he's a man who likes the sound of his own voice, who'd prefer her to play dumb. Immediately, she puts on her best saccharine smile. But then he looks from the table and meets her eye and it stops Rey in her tracks. She is used to being looked at by desperate men, each part of her separated out and on display, like meat under a butcher's cleaver. She's used to being sold for parts, like the gold jewelery the old women hawk at the faded pawn brokers along Eight Avenue. What she's not used to is a look like this cop is giving her, one that seems to take all of her in at once, like a gaping jaw ready to swallow her whole. 

This man is not just a lamb to be fattened up and taken for all he's worth. This man is a wolf.
