Day 9: part 5 of 7 Darkness
Had this written earlier but due to traveling wasn't able to post like I had hoped.

archiveofourown.org/works/716823...

Rey hadn’t realized how far Maz’s was from the potter’s field. Then the tube had been delayed meaning she got there just as the sun was setting. He was there, pacing.

“Ben!” She called out to him.

“Rey?” He turned, eyes wide. “Rey, you need to leave. It’s not safe here at night.”

Her feet stilled as the last rays of sun slipped away. The energy in the graveyard shifted. Two days ago, Rey hadn't believed in ghost. Now, as the darkness grew around her, she was suddenly very aware of their existence.

Around her spirits rose, some looked barely human. She quickly glanced over to the plot that held her parents. A sigh of relief passed her lips as she saw no spectral activity in that corner. When she turned back to Ben, she saw the change in him too.

Gone was the crisp uniform, the steady stance. His hair hung long and disheveled, falling into his eyes. His clothes were darker now, a flight suit scorched and torn. And cutting across his cheek, down his neck and shoulder, was a long, terrible gash.

Rey staggered back, a chill creeping up her spine. Understanding sank in like ice.

“You need to leave.” he growled, turning from her, hands coming up to hide his face. “Before it comes for you too. “

Shadows swirled at his feet, climbing and twisting around his legs. The darkness threatened to swallow him whole.

“No,” Rey took a steep closer. “No, Ben. I said I’d help you. I’m not leaving. I know how to help you.”

He turned back to her, face twisted in anger and fear. “You can’t help me. No one can. Don’t you see. I… I deserve this. This is my punishment.”

The shadows leapt at that, seeming to revel in his distress. Still Rey wouldn’t quit. She pulled out the locket from her pocket, held it up in front of her like a shield.

“You were right. Your mother came here, Ben. She tried to find you, to bring you home.” Rey’s voice shook, but she didn’t stop.
“You don’t have to stay here. You can choose.”

He shook his head, trembling with effort. “It’s not that easy.
The dark…it’s been with me so long. It’s all I know.”

The air around him pulsed, deepening into a black that seemed to swallow the world whole. Rey stumbled back as shadows crawled up to her feet.

“Ben, listen to me!” she shouted over the growing roar, though there was no sound she could name, “You’ve carried this alone too long enough. Let me carry you.”

She watched as he closed his eyes and the shadows cover him completely.

“BEN NO!”

She lunged forward, landing on her knees as she watched the shadows twist inwards She could feel it, the weight of all his years of wandering. Her throat burned with the sob that threatened to break free.

Then, the darkness burst open into light. Not bright but warm, like the first rays of dawn. Ben stood in the middle, the way he looked when she first met him but… more sold.

“Rey,” he whispered as he knelt in front of her, “Rey, I’m so sorry. Did I hu-”

“I’m fine,” she breathed, smiling through tears. She opened her palm, the locket gleaming faintly between them. “Maz said you’d recognize this.”

He reached out then, his fingers lightly grazing over Rey’s palm where the locket sat. She shivered, but not because his touch was cold. It was surprisingly warm.

““It was my mother’s. You said she came here, to London. To look for me.”

Rey nodded. “Maz said you can choose what you bond to. You get a choice.”

Ben looked down at the locket, then up at her. Slowly, his fingers curled around hers, the metal glowing faintly gold between their joined hands.

“Thank you.”

And then he was gone.

Except…Rey was sure he wasn’t. Not really. The locket in her hand felt heavier somehow. Warmer. And as she left to go back home to book her flight to the states, she knew he was with her.

It doesn’t really matter how it’s intended. Antis will interpret it as a ZOMG PERFECT LOVE STORY NOT LIEK REYLO AT ALL because society itself has conditioned fans to be anti Reylos. I can’t count the number of times when someone has posted okay this ship is bad but ITS NOT REYLO LOL. and so on.

Rivkah 🦋 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 ✡️ 🔞 @rivkahbach.bsky.social · 1d

I guess so. I don’t know, but I’m already ready to write it off as bad writing and even worse understanding of the characters.

When Rey's shitty landlord pulls the rug out from under her, she has only two weeks to find a new place to live.
Luckily, her best friend, Kaydel, has a solution: take her older brother's spare room until she gets back on her feet.
It's a shame Kay didn't ask her brother, Ben, first, but they'll all survive without any permanent damage to their social group's ecosystem! Probably!]

Not sure, but I’m repairing for the worst since this year seems to be even worse than 2016 and 2020.

lol, apparently Reylos are responsible for school sh00ters, tradwives, and tRump getting elected. Both times. When will we pesky Reylos complete the full destruction of modern civilization?

No one asked me about any of this, had they done so we’d have two terms for Bernie and in the first of AOC.

Which is such a bullshit take. She spends so much of the time angry throughout the sequel trilogy.

As for Finn…John Boyega has tossed Adam and Daisy under the bus so often, it’s a miracle they’re not flattened. John only cares about the Force THE STAR and getting to third with daisy’s character

#Reylo
Ignoring the notices—‘STAY OUT’—placed neatly along the length of the wrought iron fence, Rey opens the gate, ushers BB-8 through.

“Don’t worry, if anyone has news of your people, it’s Ms. Organa.”

It’s not she who opens the door though, but a tall, dark-haired man with a supercilious face.

I don't really have time to
do this but I really feel the need for a #Reylo Holiday Book It Challenge! @jenofthemidwest.bsky.social look what you started. Like maybe do it November & December and have people dig up fics from old holiday reylo challenges as well as more current ones.
