50 years ago today.
17th May 1974.
34 innocent people (all civilians) were killed when the UVF (a loyalist terrorist group backed by the British govt who from their inception were set up to kill as many civilians and innocent people as possible, since they viewed Irish people as being inherently evil and subhuman, which we are NOT!), operating in collaboration (collusion is the preferred term for some) with the British government set off numerous car bombs in Dublin and Monaghan.
These bombings were carried out during the Ulster Worker's Council Strike by loyalists and unionists in Northern Ireland, who opposed the Sunningdale Agreement, that called for power-sharing with Irish nationalists.
The bombings left 34 people dead and hundreds more injured.
The Irish government of the time practically bowed down in response to British demands to stop the investigation into the bombings. Like a bunch of cowardly old women.
Their response at the time (or lack thereof?) was and still is BEYOND shameful. A textbook display of bootlicking cowardice.
Followed by the usual policy for the time of turning a blind eye to the suffering of the Irish in the north, tut-tutting at the PIRA and even blaming them for British attacks. All while washing their hands of the matter and parroting the British state’s propaganda.
Tumblr media
Above: A memorial to the victims of the bombings in Dublin.
A campaign by families of the victims led to an Irish govt inquiry in 2003 under Justice Henry Barron, that criticized the Garda Síochána's investigation as well as the inaction of then Labour Govt.
Many idiotic Irish politicians and revisionists today insist that the bombings either didn’t happen, or were an accident or were committed by Sinn Fein. (They were not)
None of which are true.
Reports have stated that there is a VERY high likelihood of British security and intelligence services being involved alongside the UVF.
But the British government refuses to release the documents to this day.
I’m posting this here today 50 years on from the bombings because I believe in accountability.
(Also because I study history but that goes without saying)
Reblog the shit out of this.

The award winning Scottish screenwriter Troy Kennedy Martin was born on February 15th 1932 at Rothesay on the Isle of Bute.
I’ll hazard a guess many of you will not know the name here, but the vast majority of you, well here at home anyway, will know one of the most iconic lines out of a classic movie, the words  “You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off.”  
His father was an engineer and his mother a teacher. Moving frequently because of the second world war and his father’s work, his was a talented and creative family.
The family established themselves in north London, only to have the household income, never large, halved by the death of Troy’s mother when he was 15. The Catholic church helped to keep them afloat, and Troy went to Finchley Catholic grammar school, followed by Trinity College Dublin. After completing his National Service he wanted to move into the Foreign Office, but Troy, although having a toffee nosed name, did not speak with toffees in his mouth and was rejected. He thought if he was a published writer this might be a route in so set about work on a short work of poetry of novel, his novel, Beat on a Damask Drum but it wasn’t this that kick started his career on civvy street, but an article he wrote on boy soldiers in Cyprus the BBC picked it up and asked him to adapt it into a TV play. Based on his own experiences during national service as an officer with the Gordon Highlanders, this became the television play Incident at Echo 6, screened in 1958.
And that was the start of a career spanning over five decades, Troy Kennedy Martin is responsible for an impressive body of work and has left an indelible impression on the history of television. His work has touched the lives of millions of people all over the world and shaped the vocabulary of television today.
Kennedy Martin’s array of television successes include Z-Cars, The Sweeney and Edge of Darkness. He also made regular forays into cinematic script writing, most notably with his screenplay for The Italian Job. Another fantastic film he penned was  Kelly's Heroes, which featured some great actors in Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland and Harry Dean-Stanton 
Innovative and influential, Kennedy Martin showed that quality drama could be accessible. His nuclear thriller, Edge of Darkness , one of the key television works of the decade, was repeated on BBC1 a mere 10 days after the final episode had been transmitted on BBC2. His ITV production Reilly: Ace of Spies is another favourite of mine was also highly praised and was one of several works screened at his 2006 British Film Institute retrospective. Based on the true story of  Sidney Reilly, I never knew the story beforehand and I was shocked when Reilly played brilliantly by Sam Neill fell after a shot rung out and was left lying in the snow, I was willing him to get up....... Kennedy Martin;s script really hit home. 
They were a talented family, his sister Mo, was a member of the London/Irish folk group folk group The Tinkers, his brother was also a talented writer for television, he created the popular BBC Cop drama, Juliet Bravo, and The Sweeney, enlisting Troy to pen some of the episodes. 
Described as a “ A talented, generous and agreeable man, he was dedicated to his work. He married the Z Cars cast member Diane Aubrey in 1967 and remained devoted to their two children after their divorce.
Troy  Kennedy Martin  died of lung cancer on 15th September 2009 aged 77, in Ditchling, East Sussex.history television movies films

Haha! I'm already laughing my ass off! here in Ireland. Irish people Love Love to be silly. It feels that the essence of life here in Ireland is all about having a proper good laugh and hearty dinner after a long and stormy day!
I spent one day and one night in Irish Ferry and mighty sea waters and finally, me and my bicycle stepped on the Irish land! The weather!? Haha! Well it was everywhere! I was pulling my bicycle direction towards the old town of Dublin, searching for bike repair shop. Later I had 2h to get lost into the city centre while my bike tire is being fixed. Walking and walking into the spells of sunshine and getting some intense showers and freshness of Irish weather! I wanted to be part of the history and there I was, also the rain, the wind and sun... and then something magical happened! While I was soaking into the rain and being part of the history in the streets of the old town, I got pranked! ;D
Pure joy...! These tree boys passing by, one of those many beautiful bridges. That goes across the river in the centre of Dublin... but then one of the guys said :"Excuse me Sir, you dropped something!" Then he pointed at ground and I looked down, then he said "Your Gay card!" Ahaha, so good! xxD very warm welcome into the Ireland.
Well cheers then, to You and the Good luck! The taste of Guinness is still so, so good! Also, I'm so happy that I made it here before St'Patricks day. This was my goal, to get here all the way out from the winter in Latvia and step into spring in Ireland. Most inportantly, before St'Patricks day! So happy and what a relief, that the trip is finished for now... It's an Great, great, great experience to be on the road and travel the spontaneous way, "Alexandrer the Gre... Nono, Arturo! The Great! ;D I was without any idea where I will sleep, or which road to take. All that I had was the direction, West and that's it :D at some point I felt like being a Pirate that had lost the direction of sea and boat. Hahaha! Compass would be handy tool, I was trying to guess which way is the west (Ireland), but it was a tough cookie, as they would say. The clouds, clouds and more clouds. Oh my! Way to much of them and d to tell where is the sun and sunset... Good Luck! About the weather.... in the beginning of March it was just raining every day, I was cycling from Belgium and going direction France (heading for seaside town Cherbourg) and it was super cloudy, rain, rain...ehhhh ehhheheee. Well it's better then ice and snow storms, right? I felt very alive and adventurous, when the warm and stormy air was blowing and the showers, showers with freshness of the spring. Arrrrrr :D!
Going back in time; I started my great journey on 2.March, with the min van service Latvia-Netherlands. Simple and easy way to skip snow and the cold north. So, after 17h "racing" on the highway I got dropped out in Groningen @4am, then I tried calling my friend Dori. Early bird e?! :D It was super nice to meet her, I stayed there 3days... feeling confused by the season change... Actually the first day when we went outside I noticed that the air has the same smell as in Ireland/Uk. Also the humidity and chips!!! :D Only the "sexy" streets are well maintained in NL. One night we went out to eat some fried goodies and the chip-shop we're sitting in was facing the hooker street. Oh my! So good :D porn food, literally! Ahaha fun times with Dori in the North of Netherlands... I noticed that the "bicycle world" there is fantastic! Right? The city has this good vibe, when there are bicycles and bicycles and more bicycles. Actually you meet or see more people in open air. It just feels better when there are people cycling not racing with those cars... also it's a super flat country... e! Easy and boring to cycle around :D One morning in Groningen, I was going for my bicycle,"I think this is the routine for everyone in NL" but, but, but... there were 3 used sk8boards next to my bicycle, the neighbour was moving out... leaving his trash on the street, I was so close to take them, but my little bicycle was already packed with shit to carry... Ehh! Let it go... I have my fingerboard with me anyway :) So, after three days of Groningen I was planning my next step, facing Antwerp(Belgium) that's the most fanciest town in Europe "The Pirate Bay", speaking of history and food. The trade of quality goods happened there! Arrr like the Pirate! :D Also "The birth of Chocolate", I recommend it very much to visit! It's so small and so packed with life! Around the central station, also known as "Train Cathedral", it's the neighbourhood of Jewish community and there are only Diamond shops, shops, shops literally all street is only for the jewellery and some gold shops to. It's a good vibe, the shining jewellery!!! It's a pleasure to be surrounded with shining gold and diamonds. Oh my as they shine so much, I felt like a God for some minutes :D! Antwerp is small town as I mentioned, but still I was getting lost all the time when cycling around in those little streets... when it curves a little I'm lost :DD My travel destinations and goals are all about food and some history too :D,but mostly food, food, food. Arrrrr :D I highly recommend this travel-cooking show. If you are in travelling and food. Actually after watching this I wanted to go to Antwerp.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7vM8yM25cc
Back on the journey... the day I was planning to travel in direction to France, in the morning there was a blizzard outside! Nasty snow from the north caught up with me! Bastard!:D 8th of March was the last day when I met snow! Ahaha... but now, still I can see a bit of it on the hill tops of Northern Ireland, but it's so far! No chance to get to me. I think. Soon, soon the March will pass and season of pleasures and lazy and long days and nights will come... Hmm, I can tell you something about French life...after I left Belgium/Netherlands also the well spoken
English language stayed there :D
The border town FR/BE, I went for the espresso "double or nothing" and also to have some directions and the conversation already was floating into this juicy and finger licking French/English. Well it felt like I might end up in somebody's bed if I don't stick with my plan... France it is! The northern French region is packed with industrial factories and there are a lot of industrialised places around where I was cycling and trying to find my way and not to get on the Mighty motor-way!!! But, but :DD somehow on the first day when I was cruising on the French countryside roads and try to find right direction without map, just following the river.... :D But two hours before sunset I was on the Fucking motorway! :DD the road just sucked me in, on my way in direction Paris, Lille. Lille was direction and city to find... but not on the Fucking-motorway! :DDD So, this was the best and also the worst struggle of my great journey... me cycling couple km in noise, rain and trying to get off the motorway as soon as possible! People taking pictures and beeping as I went on! It felt like a race :D "One man against cars" Oh God so funny, but I was very focused and my boots were full of water, but I'm not on the boat?!...am I? :D Just cycling on the motorway :D Arrr the Pirate inside! It got darker and darker, but there was the road out!!!! And Oh Yes, Yes! It felt so (me cycling) slooooow, because the cars are going and going and going fast. But why? E? Hehe... anyway I got out of this madness and found a little French village. There was a golf course somewhere :D I saw a direction sign. I followed it and it got better and darker... there was the golf course and another sign pointing to Camping! Oh Merci, Merci!!! I got in and for free, it was late and nobody was there, just some little rabbits running away! :D about the weather, yes! Still raining, raining and raining, I set my tent up in the almost "swamp" like camping ground...
What a day! Arrrr!
Everything else in France was so chill after this motorway experience. I didn't go on it again fortunately! Just boring countryside towns and villages... France is sexy and dirty, you can feel it and see it! The streets are completely packed with trash after the end of the day and very risky to cycle around, when there are broken glass on the roads... so, :DDD I got a flat tire after a while and also it's was still raining and my bags got heavier and heavier, they were soaking, also all my stuff inside... ehh ehh! Arrr, after that my best friends were garages and people who work there... I needed to pump up my tire... one guy said " this is my Tour De France" and gave me two bottles of water. You know, it really felt like being in the race, "Tour de france", Arrr! All this trip... to continue about the weather. Rainy and windy, no sight of sun and complicated to find the right direction (West), when there are XXXL clouds, but I got better in reading French road signs... but still to much rain for me! Fun fact... during the winter months in Latvia, at some point I did learn one phrase in French and how to pronounce it. There was this smart girl who spoke French... and guess what was the phrase that I learned! "Merde il pleut!" ahaha! Merde il pleut!!! I'm done with this... so I decided to dry out in hotel and all my stuff too. Then I switched on TV. Watching how French are managing with water and when it's raining to much! XxD :D so, from that moment I chose to go and continue with Trains and it makes so much sense! I'm going in direction Uk,Ireland and they are the pioneers of travelling in comfort and train. :) Ee?! a funny or not funny fact is, that If you want to get somewhere very far "North, West, East, South", in France you will have to go to Paris, that's the only way and the trains are sold out one day before! So you have to book the ticket in advance, because everyone is going to Paris. Hello, You know! :D There I was, with my bicycle and bags going to Paris with style and dry... oh well, I didn't plan to be part of Metropolitan life in France, but also I didn't plan to end up with my bicycle on the Motorway direction Paris :D e!? So, that's the flow of France and trains. Paris it's! After arriving in central station, I had my lovely cigarette and calm moment, packed my stuff and off I went "down the rabbit hole." Police, Please! Police are the only help in the station, if you need some directions or help... well I did :D
so, it turned out that, I had to go inside the metro world, actually there were two metros to catch. "It's was a good decision to have my sweet cigarette brake before", I thought... because now, I had to catch my next train, and before I can catch this train, I need to catch two metros :DD and get out of Metropolitan ways of life! Fucking mad rush of metro!, same as motorway... crazy, crazy world! ...The day started simple, I was watching the wind, blowing into the palm trees with mighty force and thinking,"spring is really trying to get here." And now what! :DD trying to catch metros with my bicycle. Ee? Actually two metros with price of 4.20€ haha, It's a good sign. Yes? My god, the underground goods didn't want me to exit the underground! So, there I was learning the map of metro and the underworld.:D oh Paris... dirty girl you are! Also I realised that, me and my bicycle are equal as women with trolley +baby in it. Haha, same ways you have to go into the mighty world of underground. After a while... with calm mind as Englishman I got out of that bloody underground and back into world of trains. So let's call it a day... what a day!!! Metropolitan bitch I was... ...but lucky I was, to miss my last train out of Paris. What I got was one night in Paris, right? The sun will go down very soon... organise, plan! Got myself a lovely room for my bags and stuff and off I was, going to hunt for some dinner, before its too dark. You see, I live as the primitive man, even in the streets of Paris. It's more complicated to find something you want,need, when there are so much options to choose from. Keep it simple, as I say!
So, I got a nice table at some cafe,bar like thing. You know those places with little tables outside on the side of the street, so you are still a part of what's happening outside on the streets. What a show! Hehe, perfect place for the evening. Had some Pastise with ice and water to get the hunger going :D some cigarette or two and let's finish this theatre with espresso shot, but just one "it's to late for double",You know.... when I saw Paris in the night shining and mighty city it is! I though of Antwerp and those diamonds. Probably they came from there. Arrrr, what a life e? On the next day, I went off with morning train to Cherbourg. "The city of the sea" as they say. After a movie like train trip and 4h later I was there! The smell of fresh seaside air, warm sunshine. I'm happy, I'm home-like emotions... peace. Ee! But then...
And the race is one again! Arrr!
Trying to find my ship and sail the seas and arrive in Ireland! Haha! Easy you might think, but it's not so easy for those immigrants, who are trying to get in the harbour by climbing over a fence and then running.. and running faster then the wind it self. When I saw this group of lads trying this... it felt like GTA3, but this is reality you know! How fucking crazy it is for them, the game of crossing the border... "cat and mouse game" as they call this immigrant flow here on the harbour, so much happening all around! Arrrr! I can taste the sea! So, I found my ship, but it we will sail tomorrow @4pm. Arrr.... so,there will be dinner to catch today here in the "La Cité de la Mer." I found a beautiful camping spot, just next to the harbour and the museum of the sea. Well played I say! I will pee into the sea and I have free access for the drinking water in the museum. Ahahaha... all good, this city is connected with my ways living. Pleasures of freshness and warm seaside air, some bottle of Pastise and traditional meat "pates" of French countryside and sweet pastries, pastries of all kind... I was well, I was lucky and safe here in the Cherbourg. Around 7pm I finished my dinner and went to sleep in peace, with some beautiful church bells and seagulls songs at the camping. "The bells got crazy, it sounded like good Techno." So, tomorrow is Sunday, the church day... ...breakfast sunshine and sip of Pastise, maybe two or three... and I found myself into this church, the one I heard yesterday, before falling into sleep. Good Sunday I say, Arrr! The day is blessed and so is my journey to Ireland. Let it be, Arrr! The mighty sea of death will not take my life yet! Race is on again! Arrr! :DDD I was running with my bicycle to the ferry... because I bought the ticket for me and my bicycle just 10min before the departure time! Ahaha Arrr, what a Race!!!! Ahahah "Tour De France",as they say! Arrrr

When JFK came to Cork | 28 June 1963
by Mary Horgan
This summer marks the 60th anniversary of the visit of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of the United States of America, to Cork.  As part of his historic four-day trip to Ireland, five months before his assassination in Dallas on 22nd November 1963, he visited Wexford, Dublin, Galway, Limerick and Cork.  JFK’s eight great grandparents had emigrated to America during the 19th century.  Welcoming him back to the homeland of his ancestors was for so many, like welcoming one of their own home again. 
Interestingly, a visit to Cork was not originally on the agenda, but anticipation rose two weeks before the president’s arrival in the country, when the Evening Echo reported that ‘Mr. Kennedy himself had asked specifically that Cork be included as part of his Irish itinerary’ as some of his ancestors had hailed from the county.
Tumblr media
Evening Echo, 14 June 1963
But also, Cork people don’t like to be excluded and can be very persuasive; remember, how in 2011, Cork made certain that Queen Elizabeth II would not leave Ireland without visiting the city.  At a meeting of Cork Corporation on 26 May 1963, it was agreed that the Freedom of Cork should be offered to President Kennedy.  On 11 June, he was formally nominated and elected a freeman of the city of Cork, with the actual conferring to take place during his visit on 28 June 1963.  This was the second time that a U.S. president became a Freeman of Cork; the first being, Woodrow Wilson, in 1919.  As the day of the visit drew closer, the public learnt more about the planned itinerary through the local press.  On 21 June, Lord Mayor Seán Casey, T.D. issued an appeal to employers to allow their staff time off work to welcome the U.S. President and requested that businesses and houses along the route of the motorcade would decorate their premises for the occasion.  Sixty telephone lines and specialized wired photograph facilities for members of the world’s press were installed in the City Hall and 900 gardaí were allocated to be on duty during the Cork visit. 
On the morning of Friday 28 June 1963, five helicopters left Dublin carrying JFK and entourage.  Shortly after 10a.m. the sound of helicopters could be heard above the streets of Cork.  Ten minutes later, the President landed safely on the square in Collins Barracks, on the north side of the city. The official welcoming party included Lord Mayor Seán Casey, Jack Lynch, T.D. who was Minister for Industry and Commerce at the time and Walter McEvilly, the City Manager.  The combined pipe bands of the 4th and 12th Infantry Battalions played ‘The Boys from Wexford’ and ‘Kelly the Boy from Killane’.

The Presidential motorcade consisted of fourteen vehicles, including three buses for members of the world’s press and a Secret Service car – not a common site on the streets of Cork.  An estimated 100,000 people, some carrying American flags, lined the streets, as the motorcade made its way down Summerhill, along MacCurtain Street, over Patrick’s Bridge, then along Patrick Street, Grand Parade, South Mall and over Brian Boru Bridge to the City Hall.  
Tumblr media
(The Irish Times, 29 June 1963)
The bells of Shandon rang out across the city, and it seemed that at almost every corner, musicians felt compelled to show their joy at the visit by taking up their instruments.  The Irish Times reported that: ‘Rose petals, confetti streamers and ticker tape were strewn along President Kennedy’s path as almost 100,000 Leesiders roared a Céad Míle Fáilte, again and again’.  Businesses had followed the Lord Mayor’s request to close and erected signs such as: ‘Closed, gone to meet President Kennedy’.  In their excitement, sometimes the crowds surged forward, eager to shake JFK’s hand, make eye contact, clap him on the back, thank him for coming, while concerned Secret Service men looked on.  But he was in no danger in this place, and he must have felt that because sometimes he even leaned forward from the car and brushed hands against the outspread fingers of people nearest the motorcade.

When the motorcade finally arrived at the City Hall, 2,000 invited guests awaited the president inside the Concert Hall, where his entrance was greeted by a fanfare of trumpets from the Southern Command Band. 
On behalf of the city, the Lord Mayor welcomed him with the following words:
‘Throughout its long history, Cork has received many famous visitors from many parts of the world but I can confidently say that no man has ever come within our walls who is more welcome than John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of the great republic of the west, leader of the powerful nation to whom we all owe so much’.

President Kennedy accepted the Freedom Casket containing his Certificate of Freedom.  Designed by the well-known Cork firm, Wm. Egan & Sons, it was made of solid silver, gilded in fine gold, mounted on a plinth of Connemara marble and engraved with shamrock, Celtic design, the Cork Coat of Arms, the U.S. Eagle Crest and the Kennedy family crest. The President’s concluded his eight-minute speech, which was relayed over loudspeakers to the crowds outside with the following words:
‘So I must say Mr. Mayor, that when I am retired from public life, I will take the greatest pride and satisfaction in not only having been President of my own country but a Freeman of this City.’
Tumblr media

This photo shows JFK leaving the City Hall en route to Marine One helicopter waiting at the Marina Park, Victoria Road, which is now known as Kennedy Park in his honour.  A crowd of about 5,000 had made their way there with some running in under the whirling blades of the helicopter.  The pilot had a difficult job to clear a path through the crowd before executing a take-off which had him hovering with the wheels almost touching the heads below. 
The Irish Times reported:
‘A White House Press Corps man wiped perspiration from his brow and said: “Gee, that was the most dangerous take-off I’ve ever seen in many years of covering American Presidents.  Cork outdoes anything I’ve seen before. I thought the mobbing in Berlin was bad, but now I know better.  My message home will be of this one helleva hooley we had in Cork.’
JFK’s visit to Cork was a short one, but in the words of The Cork Examiner:
‘Cork indeed will remember, and President Kennedy will never forget’.

The Ultimate Reylo Fanfic List

Canonverse AUs
***All Our Days - E - 221k - "I can listen no longer in silence."The hologram projection of his strangely handsome face is cobalt blue, flickering, and full of static. "I must speak to you, Rey. You… you pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me that I am not too late.” He groans, runs his hands through his dark, silver-streaked hair, then refocuses his gaze on the holorecorder. “I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight and a half years ago. Do not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death."Here the recording of Ben takes a deep breath, and looks down at something outside the holorecorder’s field of view. Perhaps at his hands, Rey manages to think, through the veil of shock and timid, fluttering hope. She wishes she were there with him, so she could take them in her own, and offer him the confidence to carry on.But this is only a hologram, so she must wait. Eventually, when he looks up again, his features have settled. He looks… Fierce. Determined. Self-assured."I have loved none but you," he says. - canonverse jane austen au

She wrenched her arm out of his viselike grasp, batting his hand away for good measure. "I don't belong to you. I don't belong to anyone.""That might have been the case back when you were a scavenger on that pitiful scrap heap of a planet, but now?" His sardonic gaze flickered over her silk robes and the jewels woven through her elaborate braids. "Now you are the Chume'da, and the Chume'da belongs to her people. Their fate is entirely in your hands. Should you cross the line, it is they who will suffer for it. Am I making myself clear?""I hate you," she said bitterly. He sneered at her. "See?

endless summer afternoon - E - 63k - “My son's room is always made up,” Han had said, hitting a light switch as Rey clung to a dirty backpack in the dark hallway, “he never comes home. Warm bed might as well get some use.”Rey spared Han some of the dignity of his own longing assessment of the space that clearly hadn’t been looked at in a long time. An empty room in a quiet house. As gruff as he was, handing it off to some runaway nobody just because she was helping him rebuild a car was one of the kindest gestures she’d ever experienced, and had a hidden weight that she knew needed a respectful amount of privacy. Mysteries were often about unresolved sadness, and were usually only solved by the people who didn’t feel it.Rey is offered a place to stay: a spare bedroom once belonging to the mysterious Ben Solo. What does she do when she wakes up with him wanting his bed back? - roommates au 
Dandelion - E - 45k - Rey's an ex con and orphan, just released from jail after killing Plutt. She follows advice from her former guardian, Maz, and finds a job at Luke's coffee shop. Ben's a lawyer who lost his job and moved back to his hometown. He falls for Rey, unaware of her dark past. - coffee shop au
A Few Small Repairs - E - 69k - Ben Solo is a ruthless property developer, and Rey Johnson is the lone holdout on the block. She does not intend to give up what's hers, not for anything. (Not even for a pair of pretty eyes.) - property developer au
Unbroken - E - 7k - He found her sleeping in the stables, curled up in the stall of his newest, unbroken colt...
Lockjaw - M - 106k - Kylo finds Rey unconscious and near death on the side of a road, surrounded by twitching, wretched things looking to her for their next meal. Ever the altruist, he picks them off and takes her with him, saving her life in the process. It's no wonder that when she wakes she feels she owes him, and agrees to become his travel companion as he crosses the United States in search of safety and a new home. - zombie apoclypse au 
Everything to Prove - M - 13k - “The show,” he says. “It’s probably best if they don’t—if we don’t—”And Rey follows his line of thought at once. For all the program is one that doesn’t seem melodramatic—the height of drama in previous seasons came from someone’s cake falling over and that was about it—she does not doubt that the producers and cameramen would leap at the opportunity to make there be something out of nothing in their relationship—especially if there was something out of something.“Yeah,” she agrees. “Yeah, probably. We can pick baking stations that are…” but she doesn’t want to complete the thought. She likes baking next to Ben.“Or we can just be careful?” he suggests, sounding quite as pained by the prospect as Rey feels.“Yeah, careful. I can do careful,” Rey says at once and her lips are on his again and he’s laughing now, and she’s laughing, and she didn’t think laughter would be part of all this. She didn’t think it could be. But here she is, laughing and kissing and holding a man who, at some point, she’s going to want to beat.She does her best not to think of that now.It’s a friendly competition, after all. It’s not life and death. It’s baking. - great british bake off au 
*In Bloom - E - 13k - The flowers that bedeck her skin don’t lie—ballet dancer Rey is in love with her partner, Ben. But the years go by and his skin stays resolutely, devastatingly blank.He doesn’t love her. But when his hands are on her body, she can pretend. - ballet soulmates au
By Blood and Flame - E - 10k - Rey can’t go to her professors with this spell. She needs help, though, needs someone to do the spell with her, and she needs the best because it’s tricky. Dangerous.There’s a boy on campus. Powerful. Mysterious. He’s admired and envied, feared and loathed, depending on who’s talking, but for all everyone knows his story, no one seems to really know him. And Rey… Rey has been curious about him for… well, for longer than she wants to admit.She’s not sure if it’s good or bad luck that he’s the perfect person to help cast her spell. - magic college au
count the rings - E - 63k - “Because you’re sitting there all comfy, not looking at all bridal-” “I’ll just fetch the veil out of my backpack, shall I?” “-when you could be, you know, making a move on that fine-ass tree.” In which camping comes with unexpected consequences. - accidental marriage au
(won’t you let me) walk you home from school - E - 129k - Ben, a counselor in the upper school at the legendary Alliance Academy, keeps finding himself interacting with the lower school art teacher, Rey. He definitely doesn’t like it. - teacher au
follow in your form - E - 23k - Ben Solo wakes up paralyzed and angry about it.A story about dealing with change, holding onto hope, and finding love. - quadriplegic ben au 
*screwdriver - M -101k - Rey is a bright-eyed intern on her first campaign trail, Ben is an irritated data analyst, and how difficult can it be to get a legacy senator elected president? Apparently fucking impossible. - political au
9 pints - E - 83k - She knew next to nothing, and Google was largely unhelpful. All of her searches (“vampire sex rules” and “vampire dos and don’ts” and one very self-indulgent “average vampire cock size big?”) linked her to dated top ten lists written by anyone other than an actual vampire.Twenty minutes of frustrated scrolling eventually led her to a supernatural dating forum. The website was horribly aged, but still active. Questions were tagged, which meant that it was easy to narrow down her search. Vampire, she clicked, and Sex.--In which Rey gets suckered into shooting porn with one of Poe's pickiest vampire actors. - magical porn stars au
fine young cannibals - E - 27k - Kylo raised his head to the sky as he inhaled, his broad chest expanding even wider. His eyes fluttered shut, savoring the scent like a sumptuous meal. He grinned.“Oh,” he murmured, so softly Rey wasn’t even sure it was meant for her ears. His eyes slid to meet hers, scarlet and violent and hungry. “You brought a snack.”And then all hell broke loose.About three things, Rey is absolutely positive:First, she is totally, completely, and madly in love with her vampire boyfriend, Poe.Second, there is another vampire—an older, evil, definitely-not-hot vampire—that thirsts for her blood and wants nothing more than to kill her.And third, she is maybe not absolutely positive about either of these things. - twilight au
Epithumia - E - 46k- ἐπιθυμία, ας, ἡ: epithumia : desire, passionate longing, lust *** “No extra credit.” He made a noise that might have been a laugh. “You ask that every time.” “Well, I have to try.” Rey said, weakly. “Can you make an exception?” A lone eyebrow ascended his lofty forehead into his hairline. “Try harder, Miss Kenobi.” - college teacher/student au
Historical AUs (ranging from medieval to the early 2000s)
light carries on endlessly - M - 6k - “Traitor,” he told Cerberus gruffly not too much later, using both hands to scratch behind the hound’s many ears. What appeared to be a rat tail lay nearby on a blood-stained bit of stone. “What did I tell you about women with pretty eyes?”One wet tongue lapped at his wrist, and he sighed. “Right. Nothing.” - Hades and Persephone au 
The Witch in the Wood - E - 138k - As a knight errant of the kingdom of Alderaan, Kylo Ren has traveled the country, completing quest after perilous quest in search of redemption for the dark deeds of his past. When an evil witch captures the princess of a neighboring kingdom, Kylo reluctantly accepts the burden of rescue with the assumption that it will be a simple task.It is not. For the creature that lives in the woods is not a monster at all.Since her mentor died, Rey has lived in the witch’s tree and uses magic to maintain the balance of the forest. Her life is practical, repetitive, and simple—at least, until a wrathful knight thunders through her door and levels a sword at her throat. Yet something within the knight calls to her, a buzz beneath his skin that she recognizes.Without a doubt, he is not who he appears to be. - medieval witch au
Black Knight, White Queen - E - 53k - Luke Skywalker wrote his sister a letter on his deathbed, revealing that his ward is the orphaned heir of a family long thought extinct - and politically powerful. That letter fell into the wrong hands, and the secret of Rey's heritage is secret no more. The Emperor has managed to unite the Kingdoms, but he is old, and his son is weak. Seeking to ensure his son's claim to his throne, he sends his most trusted captain to bring the girl - willing or not - to be his son's bride. Rey is taken from her far-flung home, and plunged into a world of court intrigue, arranged marriage, political rivals, and would-be assassins - the black knight her constant companion and bodyguard. But even he, her dark shadow and protector, she cannot know whether to trust... - medieval bodyguard au 
Days to Remember - E - 42k - A man heads home after years of estrangement. What do you need from me? A woman leaves her world behind, a bird in a gilded cage. When we get to New York, I need help running away. -- I'll bring you to Boston with me. - titanic au 
*what if the storm ends - E - 61k - As a child, Rey is evacuated from London to the Yorkshire Dales during the Blitz. She spends the war in the care of the Solos on their farm, wandering the moors with their son looking for a legendary family artifact long lost. When the war is over, she returns to a city she no longer recognizes, and she writes a popular series of children's fantasy books based on her childhood in the Dales. After amassing fame and fortune with her stories, tragedy brings her back to the farm to see Ben Solo, once her greatest inspiration and now a widower. - post WWII au 
Take Me - E - 39k - Every night, at 8:30 pm, Rey and Ben get on stage and pretend to be in love with each other. At 9:15, they walk off stage and the actual fireworks begin. - 60s country singers au
I could have been wild, I could have been free (but nature played a trick on me) - M - 61k - “Did you know that I did not even learn your name until yesterday, when I married you?”His face flushed a darker red than it had at breakfast, and he attempted to defend himself with incompetent stammering, “I—I regret that. The situation, of course, would have been,” he wrung his hands together and stared at her feet, “It would have been preferable if we had known one another more. On several occasions, I did attempt to make myself known to you, but you seemed to have other preoccupations.”Rey could feel her face contorting into a sneer to spit out her barbed words, “Perhaps that was your cue not to marry me!” - regency arranged marriage au 
Patch - M - 20k - He is nineteen when he first sees her.She comes to the rink alone, laces her skates alone, strokes warm-up circles alone...He looks at her, really looks her in the eye, and he decides he likes what he sees.She may be young, but she is hungry and angry, and for now? That’s enough for him.It’s not like he has a lot of options. - 80 russian ice skaters au 
*The Great Big No - E - 165k - Kylo Ren is third generation rock royalty, a reigning brat prince starting to feel the burn of the fame he reached for with both hands.

What happens when they collide? - 90s rock au
***go I know not whither and fetch I know not what - E - 119k - The year is 1994. The Iron Curtain has come down, the oligarchs have begun their rise to power, and Kyril Ren, a powerful member of the infamous crime syndicate Solntsevskaya Bratva, has been given a job: hunt down an estranged uncle who has been snitching to the FBI.Irena, nicknamed Rey by her adoptive father Luke, is a Krav Maga instructor in New York who has finally been able to obtain her original birth certificate from Russia.

The Cryptoliberal creep/the left is dead: Anarchist-Individualist critique of the left in Ireland
“Freedom is not something that anybody can be given; Freedom is something that people take and people are as free as they want to be” — James Arthur Baldwin
“I think my basic viewpoint is that everything the left and right say about each other is true. And the reason it’s true is because they have so much in common.” — Bob Black
The so called “radical left” has been a total failure, has done nothing and has not made any “radical change”. The “radical left” has only been successful in re-creating institutions of hierarchy and dominance via its parties, unions and front groups/campaigns. Many leftists building nice careers for themselves in the process.
The “radical left” of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s (most notably former members of the Workers Party) are now the very people that have been pushing and implementing neoliberalism in Ireland. The old “radical” leftists have swapped their radical language and false promises for Mercedes cars, designer suits and high waged state or union positions.
There is no doubt that many modern leftist will have the same faith as their counterparts. It’s not hard to imagine. The exact same problems that existed within the left today are the very ones that were always there. These problems can be broken down into factors such as: populism, opportunism, careerism, and reformism (to name but a few).
There is no order of importance, all these factors have equally damaging effects. These factors are not specific to any one current within the left but to the whole left. These factors contribute differently but equally to the left’s failure to create any “radical change” or transformation they proclaim to want.
Let’s break it down a little:
“SOCIALISM: Discipline, discipline; obedience, obedience; slavery and ignorance, pregnant with authority. A bourgeois body grotesquely fattened by a vulgar christian creature. A medley of fetishism, sectarianism and cowardice.
ORGANIZATIONS, LEGISLATIVE BODIES AND UNIONS: Churches for the powerless. Pawnshops for the stingy and weak. Many join to live parasitically off the backs of their card-carrying simpleton colleagues. Some join to become spies. Others, the most sincere, join to end up in jail from where they can observe the mean-spiritedness of all the rest.” — Renzo Novatore
Opportunism:
Whether as an individual activists or as a member of a party, union or some other type of organization, leftist take part and use struggles for a whole lot of reason. These struggles could be in a workplace, housing, abortion rights, even supporting struggles in other countries that are a popular, etc. In struggles leftists use political maneuvers in order to hijack, centralise, and harness the energy, power, and enthusiasm of angry people for their own political gain, aims and motivations. Leftists use campaigns and struggles as ways of gaining followers and support for their programmes, building their own power cliques and personal networks, climbing the political or union careerist ladders, or even at the least, for activist scene points.
Careerism:
Many leftists take part in struggles to use them as means to build careers. The career could be in politics, unions, academia, journalism, NGOs, etc. Some Leftists becoming “experts”or “specialists” on certain topics/struggles, using the gained knowledge to further their career.
Populism:
Populism is a curse in the fight for liberation. Populism is dangerous, populism risks losing or gaining “the party”, “the movement”, “the organization” or “the campaign” support, credibility or new members. Populism also creates a dynamic within left organisations that will determine what “the party” or “group” will support or what actions taken, projects, or campaigns they will get involved with. They will always go with the popular option, even if it is wrong. If activists in a campaign, party, or group swerve off the populist road, they are at risk of being punished and vilified by the majority. They could have their names tarnished, blackened, lies made up and spread about them. All attempts at discrediting and to remove people seen as opposition. Populism will make people tell lies to mislead others and tarnish opponents. Struggles have been destroyed and lost because of populism. These dirty tactics are used against any threats to their positions, to discredit and isolate people that are opposed to their strategies or views, to remove opposition in campaigns or projects to clear the field which will help with them hijacking, having more influence and control; making people look “bad”,“mad”, “crazy” or “troublemakers” so no one will listen to their opinion or ideas, to save or gain support.
Reformism:
A large majority of the left, whither they call themselves, socialists,marxists, leninists, trotskyists, and even some anarchists, are in fact crypto-liberals. These liberals disguise themselves with radical language and bullshit. They do not want to overthrow or destroy the state and capitalism, although they may say they do. They want to reform it away, make it more “nicer” for people bit by bit. They naively believe this can be done peacefully and with well thought out arguments, protest marches and lobbying. The “resistance” they proclaim is of pacifism, delegation, negotiation and compromise with the state and bosses.
Trade unions like all formal organizations based on growing in membership are prone to populism and the other factors I mentioned above. At worst union officials undermine and disempower struggles, compromising with bosses, negotiating deals on what would appear to be the best outcome for workers, but realistically contribute towards keeping this society intact. At best unions are reformist that help to make improvements to conditions of exploitation making the daily toil of work a little bit more bearable. Ultimately unions are a cog in the machine of capitalism, with the outcome of helping towards the creation of social peace between exploited and exploiters. There is no revolutionary potential from trade unions.
For the leftist politico their intentions are to run in elections which they hope to win so they can make “radical changes” to the state and therefore make life better for “the people” (as they view it anyway).
The politicos say if they do not have enough power in parliament to make “radical change” at the least they will be able to make “radical” challenges to the government.
The outcomes of such bullshit tactics are well known. If a leftist is elected into parliament they can make counter arguments to the government, this usually falls to nothing. We have seen this in the South of Ireland with socialist TD’s (elected representatives) making arguments against a variety of issues such as the use of Shannon airport by the US military, the Shell oil company plundering natural resources in Mayo, the struggle for housing, and the struggle against water privatization.
If a Leftist party wins enough seats to win power or share power with another party they end up watering down their “radical” views and implement the most right wing of policies, we have seen this in recent history with the Irish Labour party in the South of Ireland and we have seen it with Sinn Fein in the North of Ireland (not that either party had very radical views to start off with, but they gave lip service to socialism at some point), both parties completely selling out to every person that voted for them implementing neo liberalist policies.
Politicos running in elections and playing in the parliamentary circus water down their “radicalism” the more they take part in it, constantly being on the watch, making sure they don’t lose support and wanting to gain support. This inevitably makes them compromise and sell out little by little, till they finally stop preaching any type of “radicalism”.
During the struggle against water privatization we have seen the crypto-liberals use their vanguardist tactics blatantly. From when people from working class neighbourhoods defended their neighbourhoods against the installation of water meters in homes in many communities throughout Ireland. The resistance sparked off sporadically. People resisting from different neighborhoods linked up together to help each other. Politicos and union bureaucrats infiltrated different neighborhoods that were resistant, to hijack the struggle. The politicos (Parties such as Sinn Fein, Socialist Party, Socialist Workers Party, the Communist Party of Ireland, Eirigi; and unions such as Unite and Mandate) invented “Right2Water” a campaign group which plonked itself on top of the struggle attempting to claim to be the representative of the all the people resisting water privatization. The politicos used this campaign as means to bring the struggle down the road of parliamentary politics. In lots of areas the politicos were successful in their hijacking, in some neighbourhoods people were wise to them.
Every couple of months there would be a call for a “peaceful march” through the streets of Dublin with loads of bull shit boring speeches at the end, from politicos of course. Any people at the march that didn’t go by the “peaceful march” narrative were tarnished as the “bad protesters” and “trouble makers”. These so called “troublemakers” would block traffic or occupy buildings (usually banks) and blocking busy roads. These type of tactics didn’t suit the politicos because it was out of their control and did not suit their narrative. During a demonstration in a working class neighbourhood a youth threw a brick at a pig car. A Socialist Party politico (and member of parliament) that had infiltrated the water struggle, publicly condemned the youth calling for the pigs to arrest, charge and convict the youth. Others were denounced by politicos for burning vans that belonged to the company that was installing water metres.
The water struggle came to a head when the Right2Water politicos and union bureaucrats thirsty for any scrap of power, sat on “the Expert Water Commision” which was created by the government, and accepted that a private company would own the water services (ie the privatization of water). Charges for domestic use of water have been put on hold (for now). The leftist politicos and bureaucrats try to claim this as a “great victory”. To this day the Irish Water company continue to put in water meters into homes, laying the ground for in the future when it wants to implement charges for using water in homes. The politicos and bureaucrats done this without any consent, and ultimately they disempowered the struggle in the process.
These tactics are used time and time again by the crypto-liberals. It was seen in popular struggles such as: struggle against water privatisation in the late 1990’s, the anti war movement in the early 2000’s, struggle against bin charges 2000’s, struggle against property tax in the 2010’s and recently in the struggle for housing, with the same sex marriage and abortion referendums — crypto liberals maneuvering themselves into position of mediator between the state or bosses and excluded and exploited individuals. Of course all these struggles were (and some still are) hot topics and were high up on agendas for electionaring.
