Summary
Rey is taken from Jakku — brought to a strange world of flashing lights and far too polite droids. It’s too loud and too bright, and too far from her parents. But then she meets Ben: feared, lonely, and just as out of place as she is even though this is his world.
Ben — he struggles... plagued with nightmares of futures he prays won’t come and voices that whisper there is nothing he can do to stop it. The kids at school fear him. His parents fear him. Sometimes he even fears himself.
But Rey... Rey does not fear him. She looks at him like he has all the secrets to the galaxy hidden behind his eyes.
~~~~
or: Ben and Rey grow together through the years. A story about two lost kids learning how to belong. First to each other, and then to themselves.
~~~~
It flowed in the air around her, loomed in dark smokey tendrils, circling, threatening. Like the kind that clung to him in his dreams.And for a moment, the voice was gone.
All he could hear was her.

Summary
After a grueling day of training, Prince Ben Solo returns to the palace late at night, bruised and aching. The staff whispers of his return, and Rey, a lowly maiden, slips into his chambers with tea and biscuits. She expects only to leave the tray and go — but she can’t ignore his winces, the jerky way he moves his arm. Against his protests, she tends to him, binding wounds he insists don’t need care.
In the quiet hours, with only candlelight between them, they share confessions neither has ever spoken aloud. She dreams of impossible lives; he admits the weight of being born a prince. A kiss sparks — soft, then desperate — but Rey pulls back, warning him that it’s frowned upon for a prince to kiss a servant.

Summary
Bennet Solo has retreated north, away from the fear and judgment that marks him in London, removed from polite society and the legacy that he cannot live up to. He contents himself with a simple life, surviving off the land despite his family's holdings in the area and a title that he is reluctant to acknowledge. On a frigid autumn day he comes across a young woman, unconscious on the moors, near frozen. Bennet tries to help her, carrying her back to his cottage and later his manor. He helps her convalesce but she sees far too much, shrewd and beautiful with secrets of her own, and a danger to the peace he's carved out for himself.
TLDR: Historical. Bennet is angsty, finds and saves Reyna. They open up to each other and then give in to the passion burning between them.

Summary
Rey can’t stand another second of this feast of survival.
Allegedly, they have won the war, and she is now the last Jedi. Or maybe she's all the Jedi. Or none of them.
But something is wrong. This story isn't over. If only Rey could decipher this strange dissonance in the Force.
Ben – Ben will know. She can’t wait for him to show up.
______Or: Rey’s heroine's journey continues until she realizes her place in all this.

Summary
Rey lets out a squeak and claps a hand over her mouth, stepping backwards and out of reach of his fists. She hadn't even done anything this time, just breathed a little louder than usual—
"Who's this?" Captain says, leaning over the countertop with one elbow forward. "A child?"
