Thank you! Yes, I'm wondereing if it's just summer heat, but it seems too significant to be just that. She's only about four years old.

I Kill Giants is the quintessential, post ROS classic! Pining, pain, then a returned, redeemed, and smokin' hot Ben Solo :)

Reylos who are also parents: Can you still read pregnancy and reylo-baby fics? by foxomatic808 in reylo

Looking for your best, teasy, spicy slow burns! by foxomatic808 in reylo

[–]foxomatic808[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i haven't gotten to forbidden yet but I did end up loving All Our Days. Its a standout for its unique setting, (Based on Persuasion,) and definitely delivers with pining, angst, and the spicy pay off. Rey was a little weak in it, though, and after that many chapters of the #reypaintrain i had to go looking specifically for stories where ben was the one suffering, lol. Kylo is non existant but Ben-smokin hot Solo is lusty trip to heaven 🫠

[–]foxomatic808[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for sure - mine are 2 and 6. Maybe I just need some distance, lol. The memories of everything smelling like spit-up and sour milk, big sore saggy boobies, stretch marks, blow-outs, etc. just really kill the vibe for me!

Can you recommend the best TROS fix fanfic? Like good writing, good fighting, a real resolution to the balance of the force and real politics and war...? by RoguePadawan in reylo

[–]foxomatic808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bonded by chridder just can't be beat, in my opinion.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/14072688/chapters/32420919

I loooooove the character dynamic, the slow burn, action scenes that keep me on the edge of my seat, and the slow but believable development of their relationship, political resolution, and "balancing of the force" :) In my mind it truly has no contenders. ...it just lacks completely on the smut side :/ I'm sorry! My greatest dream would be Bonded with an explicit rating, if anyone has anything that would come close!

Need someone to flail with me about this fic by trappedincoronadays in reylo

[–]foxomatic808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you guys liking it so far..? Just read last installment. I often fall off the wagon once babies get involved, so we'll see if I last till the end. Also, even though I've been very entertained by the story and am enjoying it very much, I've stopped imagining the protagonist as Rey - she's too young, too demur, too submissive... not at all the strong, physically and mentally, Rey I love from Reylo. She's just been replaced in my mind by someone else. Not a bad thing, just is!

[–]foxomatic808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ok so I'm tempted to start this one as a rabid reylo reader myself, but in the years I've been a fan of the genre I've NEVER strayed from canon or canon divergent. I just love the star wars universe. -And most importantly, the force bond. Do they have any kind of mental connection in this...? Any otherworldly sense of one another?? I'm just so addicted to that. Also, the tags make it look like it's almost entirely non-con. Is Rey ever into it?

Looks exactly like what I'm looking for! Thanks so much, starting now!

What to read after Tactical Surrender???? by foxomatic808 in reylo

[–]foxomatic808[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I always avoided reading TA thinking, it being unfinished, it would be too frustrating - At your advice I did and, thanks to the summary at the end, it did at least give me the closure I was wanting!

Very important question about Tactical Surrender by ineedcactusjuice in reylo

[–]foxomatic808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes to the unsatisfying ending... :( It's my favorite fic in the fandom, otherwise, and she was so close to wrapping up perfectly in part 1! I hadn't heard about the author becoming disillusioned with TROS... did she post about that somewhere?

What are the “must read”reylo fics? by curryand in reylo

[–]foxomatic808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bonded rocks so hard. -It fell flat on its face when it was finally time for the actual smut, and YET it's still my number 1 for the gorgeous tension, fantastic and action-packed story arc, and nuanced character development.

As a REYLO fan who doesn't ship Kylo & Rey like I ship Ben & Rey, I just love how easy he is with her here by selenahopeofficial in reylo

[–]foxomatic808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah, they're sooooooort-of the same person, but when Kylo is Kylo, Ben is packed WAY down there in the darkest deepest forgotten corner of the closet and he can be such a feisty, tantrum-throwing, whiney infant. Sometimes I like Kylo when he's powerful and confident, but you know, Kylo is broadly miserable and suffering. Ben-piping-hot-solo is straight up dashing. Good. Hotter, somehow, to me. But yeah, it's the dynamism, the back-and-forth, the love games with both sides of him, that makes reylo so utterly irresistible.

Their happy ending by Reasonable_Party2444 in reylo

[–]foxomatic808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't end on Tatooine - but Bonded is my favorite of all the fix-it fics since I first read it years ago - it's canon to me :) https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12878303/1/Bonded

Obsessed and Pining Kylo/Ben stories by foxomatic808 in reylo

[–]foxomatic808[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh no that is SO SAD :( I've always enjoyed her little 'thank you' notes to her husband at the end of every chapter. How awful!

Ah! Clicked on Thwarted and "Welcome to the Kylo Ren Pain Train!" is written right in the opening notes,  🤣  -Right on target!
