back, back again

The sounds of the convent had become soothing.

The trickle of water from the stone fountain at the center of the courtyard. The unrelenting buzz of cicadas as the sun went down. The shuffle of soft-shoed feet along the quadrangle as the sisters paced back and forth to Compline. The smells too, of rosemary, hyssop, thyme, and chamomile in the Mary garden.

When she’d first arrived, Rey had worried the stone walls and silent hours would be too quiet. How would she sleep? It was not what she was used to. There were no raised voices. No gun-shots. No men. No cigarette smoke. No aftershave. No hint of sweat from under a black suit. Not anymore.

Until the night in June when, returning to her small, cloistered cell, Rey found she was not alone.

A strange sound, at once so familiar; the metallic click of a lighter, flicking open in the half-darkness. She had no weapons, nothing to reach for but the wooden rosary beads hanging from her belt. She had traded her weapons for the safety of staying hidden here. But her luck had run out.

“You need to leave,” she told the man-shaped shadow by the window. Even in the low-light she knew the curve of those shoulders. Could almost seem him smile, nonchalant as ever.

“No, sweetheart. You need to leave,” the man said. One long inhale and the tip of the cigarette glowed a deep red. Two fingers, gun-shaped, pointed right at her. “You don’t belong here.”

“Yes, I do.”

She was safe at the convent. Protected in a way she never was in the city, when she was nothing but a pretty piece of meat hung on an old gangster’s arm, all jeweled fingers and slapped cheeks.

“He wants you back,” Kylo Ren tells her.

Snoke’s notorious fixer. A looming presence in a dark suit, the curve of a holster always under his jacket. Never disarmed, even after a few drinks, in his shirt sleeves and playing cards with his boss. She knew. She was the one who cleaned up. But not anymore.

“This is my home now.”

He chuckled, low and mean. “What do you think the nuns would say, if they knew what you were before you came here?”

She pressed her eyes firmly closed. Clutched her rosary until the beads hurt her hands. She wanted to believe he was wrong, that her previous life didn’t matter. That all sins were washed away in the holy water, all trespasses forgiven in the taking of holy orders.

“I know what you really are, little lamb.”

….

The other gangsters nicknamed him il padre Ren. Father Ren. “The priest”. A joke, maybe, but one with too much truth in it.

Most of Snoke’s men paid little heed to religion. But Kylo Ren wore a gold cross on a thin chain around his neck and kept his hands clean. The rumor was that he whispered a prayer to the Virgin before pulling the trigger. He was a regular at mass, standing a head taller than anyone else as he lined up for communion.

Rey had often wondered what his visits to the confessional were like, and whether the priests could sleep after hearing it. In a world of sin, he walked like a saint. Untroubled. How did it feel, to carry all your mortal crimes so weightlessly?

All Rey had done was been unlucky. A barely-legal streetwalker who flagged down the wrong expensive car on the wrong night.

“Rescued,” was what Snoke called it. (“Look at the treasure I found in the streets. Look at the home I gave her. Look how she hates me for it.”)

Kylo Ren, face impassive as a statue as she perched on Snoke’s knee and imagined different ways to kill him. She would never forget it.

Il padre, sent to collect a lost member of the flock.

He was staying in the town’s only guesthouse. White-washed and blue shuttered, with a view of the ocean. From its walled garden, bougainvillea and jasmine spilled onto the street.

Rey stood outside in the evening shadows. What would the kindly old widow who owned it think, if she knew about the monster inside? Some sins were unforgivable, the priests said. Kylo Ren had seen her suffering and allowed it to continue. Now he thought he could retrieve her like a lost dog.

I know what you really are, little lamb.

That was the thing about Rey. She might wear the habit and kneel in the chapel. She might mouth the liturgy and pray the rosary. But she didn’t have faith. Not in Snoke. Not in Kylo Ren. Not in any man.

And especially not in God.

“I know what you really are, padre,” Rey whispered to herself. “A dead man.”

NEW - #reylofic for #reylofakeit e, 1?, 3.4k ⌛ modern AND medieval au ⌛ fake engagement -> marriage of convenience ⌛ time travelers Ben and Rey ⌛ literary detectives Ben and Rey or: what if a.s. byatt's possession and an episode of timeless kissed on the mouth?

Moodboard: the artwork for Garden Front, Speke, Lancashire by Joseph Nash, 1849. Image from the National Gallery of Art. It's an illustration of a Tudor-looking home. On the front lawn, several people dressed in Elizabethan gear wander about the lawn. The border of the art has been edited in Canva to include a border of overlapping, antique clocks. These images are also all from the National Gallery of Art

“Nice ring.”

“Oh, this old thing?” Fluttering her eyelashes at him, she slipped it onto her ring finger. “Didn’t you hear? We’re betrothed.”

His hand drifted up to idly rest on his breastbone, and drily, Ben replied, “We often are.”

Which was true, Ben thought. They’d been betrothed on assignment before.

—or—

Ben and Rey are time travelers who solve literary mysteries. They're also fake betrothed. Soon-to-be fake married. And one of them has been pining for the other for years and years and years.

NEW FIC: Odium Falsum 🗡️ a collaboration with @peppersweet for #reylofakeit 🐦‍⬛ rival professors 🐦‍⬛ f̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶d̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ fake *hating* 🐦‍⬛ historical au (with magic!) 🐦‍⬛ murder mystery rom-com M (for now) | 1/3 | 4k words #reylo #reylofic ♥️ archiveofourown.org/works/89773481

book cover with the title Odium Falsum, and the subtitle "or, on the subject of false loathing." the background is black with a photo-negative image of the bodleian library's famous domed spire amidst the the surrounding buildings of oxford

in the bottom right is a sticker that says "a reylo fake hating murder mystery"

Odium Falsum PeculiarGalaxies, peppersweet
Summary:
As professors at rival colleges and practitioners of antithetical branches of magic, Rey Niima and Benjamin Organa loathe each other.
Or so all of Oxford believes. In reality, their new research partnership serves more than one purpose: rediscovering a form of spellcraft once thought lost, reforming opinions on the supposed immorality of blood magic, and paving the way to reveal their relationship without losing friendships, tenure, or grant funding.
But a series of murders on campus reveals a worrying trend: all the victims have a connection to Ben, and the killer is a mage up to no good. The biggest obstacle to going public might just be surviving long enough to do so.

Or, fake dating but make it fake hating. And a murder mystery. With bird shenanigans. Because Reylo.

Life f*cking sucks,but at least I have those excerpts from the new SW book. I hope the future will bring more hopeful days, and next year I won't have to deal with the horrible people that made this period a living nightmare for me. I hope their hateful nature will come back to them eventually.

The Wuthering Heights movie is just an aberration.I heard and saw the changes and I think they oversimplify the themes of the book and also ignore or make fun of them. I read the book at 14, and guess what? I wasn't blind enough to say that what Cathy and Heathcliff had was love.

Jesus stood with the poor, the downtrodden, the immigrant, the lepers, the blind, the hungry, and the women. He didn't believe that money should be the only goal in life. He taught that love and kindness toward our fellow human beings is what counts, not hatred and cruelty. This was his lesson.

dulce periculum ⚔️ #reylofic #reyloart #mishficart He stares down at her haughtily—a look of someone who has lived too long, seen too much. “Do not shout, child,” he murmurs silkily. A warning. “It’s impolite.” — archiveofourown.org/works/55747822 art by @meetingyourmaker.bsky.social

commissioned art of a scene in the reylo fic "dulce periculum" by pocketsofdaisy.

the god of death takes his human form and human name as kylo ren and stands in a horse stable facing the noblewoman rey who points a dagger at him to fend him off. the rose borders signify "death in love" and his black robes have elements of a horse skull and reveals his other regular form as the family's prized horse "benedict". everywhere else in the stable, the legit horses are freaking out by what's happening between these two space babies.

NO ONE is forcing you to read fics that aren’t your jam. The tags are there. NOTES too. If there is something that is a trigger, a squick, even a “not in the mood” for you then don’t read it. It is that simple. DO NOT try to call out a mob to attack authors because you CHOSE not to heed a warning.

Something being “difficult to read” isn’t a bad thing. Careful study, rereading, being challenged is key to reading — and to life. If you only want to “easy” art, maybe you don’t enjoy art at all so much as having your outlook supported and unchallenged.
