Home Is Wherever I'm With You
MBlair
Summary:

It had been six months since the near destruction of the Resistance, since the First Order was held at bay long enough for them to escape by a single man, only to die at the hands of his nephew. Since that day, Rey threw herself into everything she could learn about the Force, all she could do to prevent the same kind of bloodshed she had been unable to stop on Crait. It had been a mistake to go to Kylo, she would not — no could not call him Ben, not anymore — on the Supremacy. All that had led to was ruin and death, so now…it was time to move on. Ben Solo was dead and gone, never to return.

Or was he?

A Crisis in Faith, A Change in Humanity?
MBlair
Summary:

“I don’t know how it happened, Lei,” Han’s voice said from the cockpit, the sentence itself bringing back a barrage of memories as well. Too many times after Kylo had made something happen unexpectedly or used his powers in a way that neither of his parents understood, he would hear those very words. Usually, they came with pitying looks or barely concealed fear, but there was something different this time. Something like wonder. “Don’t ask me how I convinced him, but he’s coming home. We haven’t lost our boy yet.”

An alternate ending to The Force Awakens.

A Necessary Paradox by Vittra archiveofourown.org/collections/...

A Necessary Paradox
Vittra
Summary:

This is my contribution to the 2025 RFFA Valentine's Exchange, so happy Valentine’s Day, everyone ❤️

“Together, we form a necessary paradox; not a senseless contradiction.”
― Criss Jami, Healology

✨

“Why aren’t you sleeping?”

He looks up as if the question surprises him. “I try not to.”

“Why?”

He sits in silence for a long time, staring into the flames. Rey watches the light dance over his face, softening it, and he looks eerily human when there’s no fury painting his features. For a heartbeat or two, she sees the man he could’ve been if he hadn’t fallen.

Ben Solo.

But he did choose to become Kylo Ren, and he's now determined to destroy the family he once chose to abandon. He did choose to run his saber through Han’s chest. What kind of monster kills their own father?

His voice is almost a whisper when he finally answers. “I dream.”

"...I want somebody to stand their ground to me [...] my ideal lover should be able to fight me in word and sword."

Futures by Zoa archiveofourown.org/collections/...

(Restricted) Futures
Zoa
Summary:

Inspired by this prompt for the RFFA 2025 Gift Exchange: Post-TROS fic of Rey solo-traveling the galaxy, visiting planets that remind her of Ben/are connected to to him and the Skywalker’s etc. Exploration of grief featuring a Rey who might just be willing to burn down the galaxy to get what she wants. A resurrection plot absolutely welcomed but not a necessity (and if you do go down that route, I’d love a ‘consequence’ for it, eg., nature likes things in balance etc.)

Dalzo, thank you for giving me the opportunity to flex some different writing muscles with this one! I hope you like it!
And thank you to my amazing beta for helping me keep the canon right. You're amazing!
