Strong Work by VR_Trakowski

Read on Ao3: ao3.org/works/32649865

Summary

A T rated Modern AU—Ben finds a baby bird, calls an Uber to take it to safety, and falls for the bewildered driver.

An absolute joy of a fic by @vr-trakowski​. Mainly fluff with too many laugh out loud moments to count, a little dash of angst, and completely adorable. Great for anyone who needs a pick me up, it's short—GO READ IT!

Note: this fic mentions alcohol and drinking.

Snippet

Life was, for once, good.

It was a perfect day, warm but with just enough breeze, and Ben had nowhere to be except right there in Hux’s manicured back yard. There was a cooler full of craft beers, a mostly demolished platter of snacks, and company that was more interested in getting tipsy than in conversation. His lounger was sturdy enough to hold him and the broad patio umbrella kept the sunlight from his pasty skin.

Perfect.

Inside Joke by canox

Read on Ao3: https://ao3.org/works/33862678

Summary

An E rated Modern AU spanning the four years of Ben and Rey’s time in rival college sketch comedy groups.

Ben and Rey’s rival dynamic is wonderfully tense, their secret meetings and conversations really bring out that force-bond vibe. Canox’s prose is effortless—if you like comedy and lovers-in-denial give this one a try!

Includes an MMFF scene with Ben/Rey, but Reylo HEA.

Snippet

“A casual evening of conversation for Endor admitted students.” That was all the email invite said.

So why was everyone else stumbling around in heels that bit into the grass? Sweating through suit jackets like it wasn’t a late August heat wave?

It was too late for Rey to go home and change out of the same grease-spattered outfit she’d worn to work. Dr. Organa had appeared from behind a fountain—an honest-to-fuck fountain, splashing away in a back garden in the middle of London—to welcome her.

so i have a mildly popular “reblog and put in in the tags” post going around and its. very clear how many people don’t know how to interact with a tumblr post

so, first of all, tumblr’s culture has changed a lot in the past couple years. there’s a genuine community effort to not start any drama, and ironically a lot of the current hostility is an effort to keep things calm. there’s also a change in how people interact with posts, so if you haven’t been here in a while please skip down to the tags/replies/reblog with text section.

for newcomers: you should be reblogging posts about as liberally as you would like something on twitter. if you only like stuff, people will think you are rude/a bot. you’ve probably heard people talk about “cultivating your dash,” and thats because this platform is 100% centered around your dashboard. trending matters less, unfollowing and blocking in order to shape your dash into it’s best form is widely accepted, the majority of the content you’ll find and interact with will be because of your dash, and the only way to put things on your dash is to reblog them. tumblr users are deeply distrustful of algorithms and have largely turned off the “see posts your friends have liked” function (i recommend you also turn of the various algorithms in settings → general settings → dashboard preferences).

so, once you’ve reblogged a post, there’s three ways to add content to it. the tags, replies, and reblogging with text. all of them have different connotations

the tags: an inside voice. originally they were meant for organizing your blog (and they’re still used for this), but they’ve also morphed into a way to share thoughts that aren’t funny/insightful enough for non-followers to be interested in. when in doubt, put your comment in the tags

replies: basically talking to your friends in class. your followers have no way of finding your replies unless they stumble upon them, so chances are, only the person who made the post is gonna see your comment. it’s for quick one-offs that you’re okay with other people overhearing, but really is only made for one person. they’re like a public dm

reblog with text: an outside voice. you’re getting up on a stage in town square and entertaining people. make sure it’s funny or insightful— bottom line, add something new to the conversation. you should use this the least

general rules of thumb: 

when in doubt, reblog. people will judge you if your blog is only personal posts and you only interact with other content by liking it.  

the only things people will judge you for reblogging are personal vent posts. leave a like to give a little virtual hug

if a post is asking about your personality/opinions (i.e: tell me what’s the last tv show you watched, that kind of thing) put it in the tags 

also if you see a nice edit, gifset, or art, reblog and say something nice in the tags! it’s that nice sweet spot of common enough that no one will notice but uncommon enough to make the artist’s day

Hey I'm Jessie and I am obsessed with Reylo.

I started this as mainly a reylo fic rec blog, because I really, really love fanfiction (and because I am woefully untalented in most fandom arts)

but to clear up my personal blog this has become my main reylo blog

So it's reylo fanfic recs AND anything reylo that strikes my fancy

AND rebloging writing advice (because I need to motivate my ass)

Here are all the reylo rec lists I have put together so far:

Hope you find something you enjoy!

the three-body problem by ninepiecesofcrait

Read on Ao3: ao3.org/works/38038183

Summary

An E rated Modern AU in which Rey will never forget her Hot Vacation Stranger, especially when he steals her tenure-track job.

An epic rivals-to-lovers fic that's emotional, witty, and full of longing. @ninepiecesofcrait writes some amazing chemistry and really earns that HEA. Read this for the ups and downs of academia, the softest Ben, a fiery Rey, or the breathtakingly hot smut. 🥵

Snippet

Even funnier — h i l a r i o u s, one might say!! — was the fact that she woke up in the middle of the night, tucked into the chest of a stranger, with a broad, warm palm wrapped around her right butt cheek. Right at the crease where her thigh ended and the swell of her ass began, pinky tucked neatly into the dip. Not rude, mind, just…. holding her. One might characterize it as a snuggle, almost.

It might have been disturbing if he hadn’t smelled so lovely (fresh cut pine, top notes of soap and laundry detergent) or if he hadn’t been so large (like a big, beautiful bean bag chair, but firm and GOD), or if he hadn’t been like a furnace while it was so fucking cold.

Welcome to Tumblr, Reylos!

A new rec is coming sometime next week, in the mean time I’ll be backing up all previous recs made on Twitter to this blog.

If you didn’t know, there’s no algorithm on Tumblr so Liked posts don’t get promoted to someone’s feed. If you want your followers to see something, whenever possible Reblog!

If you’re using the desktop version of Tumblr, there will be links categorizing all recs in the sidebar (regular recs, dark recs, fic ratings), otherwise you can come back to this pinned post for links to those categories.
