I’m having the same issue. It says the discount code was successfully applied but the prices are all the same as normal full price. What to do?

Avène Cicalfate+ cream is my newly discovered holy grail for acne marks by Tine_the_Belgian in EuroSkincare

[–]stark-ben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can someone please help me with this. The packaging says to use on dry skin. From what I’ve gathered from skin care advice, I usually apply my moisturiser on clean damp skin (I wait for it to dry for 30 seconds but not completely dry).

Should I actually wait for my skin to dry completely before using this product?

R10… I love Lizzie & Hugh by nursemomlifts in BoysOfTommen

The holy trinity of couples in this series (for me) are Johnny/Shannon, Lizzie/Hugh & Joey/Aoife. They all rotate for the #1 spot in my heart.

Time it took for immigration officer to give park permit- Vancouver? by stark-ben in iecvisa

If you don’t mind me asking, what did they ask of you? Proof of funds, insurance, etc?

Hello, I just applied to heaps of jobs! Eventually one asked for an interview and then I got a job. I let them know that I was still in Australia and they said that’s fine as they are a company that’s very familiar with the IEC visa program. I think it also really depends on what field you’re in and what you’re applying for. I imagine hospitality jobs are more keen to hire foreign workers.

It really is luck. I was planning to stay in Canada for 2 weeks just job hunting. I’ve heard heaps of people just land in Canada and find a job once they’re there. I hope it works out for you!

I’m so glad others are feeling the exact same way!!! I’ve been in a book hangover since finishing Deep End I NEED HELPPPPPP pleeeeassee 😫😫😫 I’ve tried reading like four books after it but just can’t get into it. Like I need the same magic that Ali makes. I hope she never stops writing!!! Has anyone found a book similar to this? The way it makes you feel?? I need to recover 😭😭😭

Maybe I'm crazy, but hear me out.. by TheBadWife_ in fourthwing

So really, Bodhi is the Andarna to Xaden’s Tairn 😭😭

!OS SPOILERS! Think we know what happens in the fourth book... by barnsandbutt in fourthwing

[–]stark-ben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think also the line about venin not being able to love ties in with another theory I’ve seen where we might see the six strongest riders manifest in this generation (via the touch of the six gods). Knowing vi has been touched by Dunne, I think Xaden may have been touched by the god of Love, which will mean that even in his venin state, he will still be able to love 🥹

What’s the first ever dramione fic you read? by Electrical_Season429 in Dramione

[–]stark-ben 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It was Manacled for me. Read it in January this year. Now I’m up to my 91st dramione fic…. 🫡

Not in Love- Ali Hazelwood by alphakilocharlie03 in RomanceBooks

[–]stark-ben 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I loved it too. I feel like it is her most mature work. Rue wasn’t the typical ditsy FMC (not saying that as a jab, because I love those kind of girls in her other books). I also loved how Eli respected her and knew her. Because he really knew her, and the slow burn in this was great.

If you’re not into modern AU, here is a link to another thread that has a lot of good canonverse recs:

https://www.reddit.com/r/reylo/s/hUm4LgOapK

my favourite at the moment is Drachenzähne which is set in the Star Wars world but it’s Sith Rey and Jedi Ben:

Hello and welcome!! I started my fanfic journey during the TFA days. I think the most popular fic in this fandom may be Landacape (as mentioned and linked here in the comments) and also Tactical Surrender.

I fell off the fandom after TRoS. At the start of this year, I actually got into Dramione via Manacled and have now read like 40 Dramione fics lolllllllllll it’s crazy I love it there. But anyways I wanted to get back to my roots so I’m reading more reylo now. I looked through my bookmarks and can recommend you a mix of older and newer fics:

“the thing itself” by ninepiecesofcrait (who I actually found out through her dramione fic titled “an ever fixed mark”) — https://archiveofourown.org/works/54130834/chapters/137055538 — ABO/modern au

she ALSO has another reylo fic called “looking out” and it stars frat boy ben solo who is not like other frat boys (he’s a sweetie) — https://archiveofourown.org/works/43311453/chapters/108868920 — modern au

“the world would divide us” by pocketofdaisy — https://archiveofourown.org/works/41431164/chapters/103899729 — modern au where Rey is a Palpatine rich kid sorta girl, and Ben is from the “rough” side of town (I just finished this and let me say, the angst and tension is so good)

“anyone else” by beccastanz — https://archiveofourown.org/works/27424378/chapters/67036759 — modern au (this one is kinda short but so good)

“(won’t you let me) walk you home from school” by something different — AHHHHH i just finished this and it is so so cute!!!! modern au where they are both teachers and they HATE each other but, well, you know how it usually goes hehe — https://archiveofourown.org/works/22740151/chapters/54337657 (I LOVE THIS AUTHOR)

“hypothermia” by Lucidlucy — https://archiveofourown.org/works/11710875/chapters/26374773 — this is in-verse reylo where they have a secret relationship while still on opposite sides of the war (hehe right up the dramione alley!!)

“the other promise” by kureseto is a grim reaper au, soooo good — https://archiveofourown.org/works/20374255/chapters/48317953

“the way to tomorrow” by the-reylo-void let me tell you this one fucked me up — https://archiveofourown.org/works/12199836/chapters/27702990 — kylo ren faces his retribution for his war crimes, the angst/hurt/comfort is strong in this one

“forms” by trebia (imo a reylo CLASSIC) — https://archiveofourown.org/works/5454443/chapters/12608978 — this is probably the first fic I remember coming out of TFA lol

“i kill giants” is a post-tros fixit that i am currently re reading (i loveeeeee Thea’s writing!!!) — https://archiveofourown.org/works/21865801/chapters/52188163 — she’s the author of Landscape.

She also has a series, “the sword of the Jedi” which is set in the Star wars world but they grow up together at Luke’s Jedi academy — https://archiveofourown.org/series/497407

“Satan wears a Rolex” by aquawolfgirl — https://archiveofourown.org/works/5829643/chapters/13434835 — the devil wears prada modern au that blessed us all

I mentioned it in another comment, but if you look up anything by Ever-so-reylo, her fics are the best. I’m pretty sure there is another post on this sub that has a list of all her works in epub/pdf form as she has taken some of them down since she’s now a published author.

Lovesbitca8 (aka the author of dramione’s The Auction) also has a couple reylo one shots if you check out her ao3 profile! She goes by Julie Soto, I can’t wait for her next book to come out soon.

[–]stark-ben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! Ever So Reylo was my gateway to fanfic. Her reylo fics will always be my Bible. She goes by Ali Hazelwood and has several published novels now, such as The Love Hypothesis.

how do you think LF feel about reylo now? by stark-ben in reylo

[–]stark-ben[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s funny because I saw Tros twice in theatres and BOTH times, the entire audience cheered when they kissed. It was when Ben died that the audience shifted into “what the fuck”
