This blog is now a Reylo Archives from a Reylo OG between 2015-2020 who will a lurking Force Ghost from now. I am still Cosmogonika on Ao3. I still post fics and stuff here from time to time.
ANNETTE by Leos Carax, starring Marion Cotillard & Adam Driver, will premiere internationally for the Opening of the 74th Festival de Cannes on July 6th and will simultaneously be released in French cinemas! 😱🔥❤😍
I asked twitter which theme they’d rather and they chose desaturated... I still really like the hot pink and blue contrast one, so tumblr, you get both!
Don’t disappear
Darlin’, I want you (Don’t leave me here)
And when the day comes (I’ll meet you here)
‘Cause I know that wishes come true
Finding my way back to you

Moodboard featuring art both gifted to me and that I commissioned for the story. Calligraphy by @cosmo-gonika in Chapter 11, middle picture commissioned from @boomdafunk for Chapter 20, and individual Rey and Ben commissioned from ReyloLauraBarcali for Chapter 32.
Thank you to @perrydowning for her help on the final chapter. She’s been such a great support to me throughout this story. 💜💜💜
It took a while to get out, but I’m very happy with the final chapter. It took over 200k words, 32 chapters, and 2 ½ years, but the story is finally finished and out there. I hope you enjoy it.
Excerpt:
It was while they were eating some take-out Chinese food one night that Ben began actually planning what he was going to do.
Rey was holding up the teriyaki beef on a stick, sinking her teeth into the tender meat and biting off a huge chunk before placing it back on her plate and chewing emphatically. All her attention was focused on what played on the television in front of them as they ate. So enraptured was she with what was happening with the show, it took her several minutes to feel his eyes on her.
Turning her head, she was curious to find Ben staring at her with a smirk on his lips, clearly amused watching her eat.
“What?” she asked with raised eyebrows and eyes wide, her cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk, full of food.
Shaking his head while his smile grew broader, he returned his attention to the plate in front of him. “Nothing,” he replied with a chuckle.

So yes it is a Halloween theme, but it was a fall exchange and hey, that’s just where the story is at right now, okay?
Thank you so much to @ladyrhi for the beta and for being just an all around wonderful person!
Opening his eyes to try to reason with her without losing his temper, he glimpses something that’s catching the light on her face. Apparently, while handling her glittery decorations, some of the shimmery dust must have come off on her hands. Now that he’s looking closely, she has a light sheen of sparkles in various locations on her face. It’s on her cheeks, up around her forehead, where she must have pushed her hair away, a smudge under her chin, and a cute subtle sprinkling of the substance on the tip of her nose.
I want to kiss it off.
Belatedly, he notices that with her arms crossed her breasts are pushed together, creating a decolletage that makes his mouth water.
With even more sparkles across the flesh heaving with ire.
Groaning internally, it’s with a Herculean effort that Ben rips his attention away from her cleavage to walk back toward the dining room. He hopes she can’t tell he’s trying to discreetly adjust himself in his pants as he moves.

“You’re already insisting on paying me rent, which is completely unnecessary, by the way, so I’m paying for the laundry. End of story,” he concludes by throwing the last few items in, then moves to take off his sweatshirt.
That shuts her up faster than anything and she immediately forgets what they were arguing about.
“What are you doing?” she demands, her eyes widening and heart rate rising as the garment moves up to his shoulders. He’s not wearing anything underneath.
Shooting a what-the-hell-does-it-look-like-I’m-doing look at her, he puts words to the visual cue of his expression, “I’m putting my sweatshirt in the laundry.”
Blood starts rushing in Rey’s ears as the sweatshirt comes off over his head and he struggles slightly with pulling his arms out. Her sight is now completely filled with his muscular, thick biceps that ripple hypnotically with each movement.
Finally, the sweatshirt is fully off and she’s treated to a breathtaking view of the naked upper torso of Ben Solo…and it has literally taken her breath away. Heat is suffusing her cheeks and she knows she is full-on blushing now and why the hell is it so hot in here?
I hope you enjoy Chapter 3 my friend! 💜💜💜
Thank you to @ladyrhi for being such a gracious friend and beta!

The prompt is the entire summary for the story–> Rey Niima needs to be able to stay in the states to finish her engineering internship at Luke’s Engineering firm. Luke has just the plan. He suspects Ben will go along with it willingly although Ben will pretend to grumble the whole way because he really does hate Rey Niima. HOT SEX.
Hi, everyone. My country, the Philippines, has gone through four (4) typhoons in the past few weeks. One of those, Typhoon Rolly (Goni), was recorded as the world’s strongest typhoon so far in 2020. In addition, only two days ago, Typhoon Ulysses (Vamco) ravaged and flooded towns and cities around Luzon. A lot of families have lost their homes, belongings, and businesses due to this disaster, on top of the ongoing pandemic.
