✨Show Off Tag✨

Thanks to @anditendshowyoudexpect for tagging me! It was very fun to go through some of my old fics, reread couple of them and boost confidence a bit with occasional "Damn, I wrote this!" (affectionately).

Disclaimer: all of those stories are originally in Russian but couple of them were kindly translated on English by lovely @anditendshowyoudexpect herself. So without further ado and in no particular order here's top-5 of my own favorite works:

Seasons of love (Vicborne/Victoria ITV) Cute little modern au inspired by Sense & Sensibility and random (slightly horny) mental image of Rufus Sewell in military uniform. I once was whinny about how sentimental this fic turns out but now I fully appreciate the warm cozy feeling it gives me.

How to love your dragon (Vicborne/Victoria ITV) Medieval fantasy au where Lord M is an ancient dragon and Victoria is a young stubborn princess. Very fairytale and heavily inspired by this movie.

Первый трубный глас против непостижимого /The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Ineffable (Braime/Game Of Thrones) Good Omens au. I started to write this in summer of 2019 right after soul-crashing finale of GoT and premier of the first season of Good Omens and I finished it in summer of 2022. Extremely proud of that fact that I completed this story and of many little allusions and witty locution as well. Contains my poor attempts to mimic Sir Terry Pratchett's inimitable manner. Brienna is an angel, Jaime is a demon. The rest is love.

Сорока / Magpie (Reylo/Star Wars) One of the things that brought me endless joy while I reread it for the first time since it was published. The whole thing is a silly parody and one of the funniest thing I ever wrote. Rey had a rough childhood, therefore realistically she should have some morally grey habits. Like a pickpocketing and slightest hint of kleptomania. So Kylo (Ben) and the rest of the galaxy just had to deal with her being pragmatic and opportunistic from time to time.

А поутру они поговорили / And so they talked in the morning... (Reylo/Star Wars) And another reylo work was written the very same day I watched the episode 9. It's fluffy, cheesy, contains allusions to Pride & Prejudice and everybody lives.

[marauder23]

First Line Ask Game! Rules: List the first lines of the last ten stories you published (or works in progress if you’re feeling brave lol). See if you or others notice any patterns!

Oh snap. Last 10 published? Here. We. GO.

1. Stick & Poke (Louigan, e, WIP, 5/8, tattoo parlor/flower shop AU)

The buzz of the tattoo gun sings. A familiar hum that elicits a shiver of excitement at the base of her spine.

2. upon a dream (Reylo, e, 1/1, dead dove/non con, dark fairytale)

He came to her at night.

The room was dark. Cold. Thick stones unable to keep out the chill of the winter despite the fire burning low in the grate.

3. Stubborn Follies (Reylo, e, 12/12, regency)

It was, of course, well understood that the duty of a well-bred lady once she came of age was to secure a most advantageous match. After all, this was her sole purpose. Not only for her family but for herself. Marriage was the manner in which she ensured her future. For otherwise, she risked the term dreaded by debutants the world over: spinster. Old maid. A burden on her family and a social pariah.

4. Crash (Reylo, e, 1/1, wounded enemies to lovers)

It’s been 47 hours when Rey finally hears the creak of the old weathered deck floorboards just outside. She’d been dozing in the sagging armchair by the fire, worn and lumpy. She was unable to resign herself to the bedroom. Not when he was still out there. But her eyes itch with tiredness. Heavy and half-lidded. She must have dropped off a while ago because there’s a pained crick in her neck when she stumbles to her feet to investigate the noise.

5. Home to You (Reylo, e, 10/10, holiday second chance romance, social media fic)

It’s been seven years since Ben has been back in his hometown. Seven long years. And in that time, he’s been busy. Up to his eyeballs in work actually.

First Order Corp was a project he’d started back in grad school with his mentor, Anthony Snoke. And now? Now it’s net worth is upwards of $68 billion dollars.

6. Damned (Reylo, e, 1/1, Halloween spooky/dead dove/dub con/stepcest)

Her breath caught in her lungs. Her palms were sweating, skin prickling in alarm. Every hair along her body seemed to stand on end, goosebumps crawling up her arms.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

They weren’t even supposed to be here.

7. Shower (Reylo, e, 1/1, micro, best friend’s older bro AU)

His breath is hot at her shoulder.

Rey’s back presses firmly to the glass as Ben’s hands tangle with hers, threading his fingers with her own as his body cages her in.

8. Vinyl (Reylo, e, 1/1, micro, record shop AU)

The shop bell dinged when he opened the door.

It was a dingy little hole in the wall record shop. Scratched records hung from the ceiling, graffitied and splattered with inky paints. There was something vibrant and visceral about the place. The music pumped through old amps around the room, the bass line and kick drum thrumming through his veins.

9. Party (Reylo, e, 1/1, micro, rivals to lovers office AU)

His eyes burn through her across the room. Twin black embers burning low in the dim lights of the vast hall.

The music echoes, the beat of the bass pulsing along with the rhythm of her heart. She feels it just beneath her ribs fluttering like a caged bird, clawing it’s way out.

10. Popcorn (Reylo, t, 1/1, micro, movie theater AU)

“Did Poe text you?”

“Yea. He can’t make it. Finn’s car is on the fritz so he had to pick him up.”

“Right.”

“What about Rose?”

“Didn’t Hux text you? Apparently her sister came into town last minute so now they’ve got to bail and hang with her.”

“Oh. Yea. Yup.”

Silence. Awkward, tension filled silence.

“Should we just—“

“Maybe we should—“

They both start talking at the same time and they laugh awkwardly. Rey shifts from foot to foot. Her and Ben have been part of the same group of friends for five years now. Ever since college. And as of two years ago they stopped hanging out alone.

Lord help us. I see lots of patterns including enemies and a certain level of thirst. What do y’all notice?

upon a dream

by Marauder23

He threw the sword aside again, instead, stalking closer. Towering over her. She was so small. So delicate. Lean and sinewy muscle. But strong. Yes. She was strong. That much was certain. One large hand clamped over her wrist, dragging her behind him.

“Why ever would I do that, little mouse? Come. You will be my guest.”

Guest. His eyes narrowed as he tugged her forward and she cried out, thrashing against his hold. More like play-thing. The corners of his mouth tilted up in a dark, hungry smile.

“Stop! Let me go! You are a monster!”

He relented for just a moment, turning to stare into those sweet hazel eyes. Kylo’s mouth watered as he growled, “Yes, I am.”

Koschei the Deathless { Reylo Fairytale Series }

Koschei overtook the beautiful Tsar's daughter on her way to the war, seized her from the midst of her army and carried her away across three times nine Tsardoms to his own land.

“For ten years,” he rasps, his gaunt frame a black cut against the light that pours into the hollow tree. “You have kept me chained in torment, with neither food nor drink...nor the touch of another living creature. Have you not punished me enough? Are you now to steal my life as well, zvezda moya?”

“Do not call me that,” Rey whispers. The needle in her palm burns against her skin with the brand of his magic. Horror rises in her at the knowledge of what he has done to himself. 

Has she not seen the havoc he has wrought upon her country? Has she not traversed the known world in search of this island where he has hidden away his soul? She has spent ten years of her life searching for a means to rid the earth of his vile sorcery, and finally she has found it.

Then why does her determination falter when he speaks? Why does he not look afraid, when she now holds his soul in the palm of her hands?

“I could destroy it,” she says, even as her heart declares that she cannot. She is the commander of a thousand men, yet without him, she will be be utterly alone. “I could destroy your soul, so that you would be mortal once more and we would meet on the battlefield as equals.”

Rey opens her fist, showing him the power she holds over him. The slender needle shines silver in the light. Kylo does not try to take it from her - he does not even look at it, for his eyes are fixed on hers.

"My soul is yours,” he says. “Do with it what you wish.”

Reylo AU Bingo  - Y2 - Fairytale

Rey was running a risk, being seen with him out in the open. The sun’s rays were already waking the town, but she would not part with him, mostly not caring if anyone saw and yet something was delicious about their secret. 

“Aren’t you glad you didn’t leave at midnight?” she mumbled against his lips, holding his face in her hands for just a bit longer.

“I was afraid you might have seen me for what I truly was, milady,” was his reply.

“But I did,” she explained. “I do. And that’s what I asked you to stay. What our titles are doesn’t matter, don’t you see?”

“Your grandfather-”

“Will not be able to object once we are married,” she said firmly. “You did still mean that, didn’t you?”

“Yes.” He kissed her again. “This very morning, if I could.”

Reluctantly, she stepped away from his embrace, but did nothing to extinguish her smile of delight. “We will have to wait until tonight, I’m afraid. Just at sunset, meet me at the city gate.”

“As you wish, Your Highness.”

Ah, I gotta love some forbidden romance! Is this a reverse Cinderella or maybe...Aladdin?................the possibilities!

Reylo Week 2020, Day 2: Fairytales

@thisisartbylexie suggested a Beauty and the Beast AU, which felt just perfect for them. It’s In a Far Away Land on AO3.

“Now, hold still…” Rey instructed, touching the cloth to the gash on the exposed skin of Kylo Ren’s shoulder.

He yelled in pain instantly, the angry sound through his mask making her jump back.

“That hurts!”

“If you’d hold still it wouldn’t hurt as much!”

“If you hadn’t run away, this wouldn’t have happened!”

“And why do you think I ran away?! You should learn to control your temper!”

Kylo huffed, turning away as Rey tossed the cloth back in the water basin in irritation. She chewed her lip, trying not to allow emotion to overtake her. She tried to remind herself why she was still there in the first place...how he’d saved her.

He could have let her disappear into the woods and turned a blind eye to whatever fate befell her. Given how furious he was at her exploring his castle, it seemed unlikely he’d care what happened to her. She was truly shocked to see him leap out in her defense as the hungry creatures surrounded her and closed in. He didn’t let even one come near her, and for that he sustained significant wounds.

Rey drew a slow and controlled breath, thinking of him laying there, helpless and injured after making sure she was safe. She couldn’t leave him then, and she reminded herself not to give up on him now.

“Let me get you cleaned up,” she requested, her voice gentle again. “Please, hold still. This might sting a little.”

He finally listened, squaring his shoulders and only wincing a little as she began actually cleaning the wound.

“Thank you, by the way,” Rey whispered, glancing up. “For saving my life.”

She saw Kylo calm, even through the mask, as she looked at him. His angry and tensed muscles slowly relaxed under the touch of her fingers. But what shocked her all the more was when he reached up, undid the fastenings of his mask, and lifted it from his head. She suddenly found herself looking for the first time into the face of a man, not a monster.

“You’re welcome,” he replied, his real voice so deep, soft, and genuine. “Thank you for staying.”

Rey gazed at him, reveling in the ability to actually look into his eyes. Those deep, dark eyes which suddenly seemed very familiar. And then it hit her...

The royal family portrait she’d discovered upstairs.

That young man pictured with his mother and father, so handsome and radiant, and full of life. Kylo’s eyes were darker, an element of sadness and regret in them, but those were his eyes.

She inched her other hand over, gently taking his, wanting to assure him she wasn’t going anywhere. Feeling his fingers close warmly around hers in response, she knew now for certain that there was more to this man than initially met the eye. Perhaps he wanted to be seen as one, but he was not a creature in a mask.

He was a prince.

Rating: Mature

Story Summary:

Her pull to it is strange. It’s not like the compulsion everyone has upon seeing a mirror — that quick chance at vanity, self-reflection — it’s…something else.

She shouldn’t be able to find it. But she does.

She reaches out a hand, skimming the surface—

And then a world appears on the other side.

“Who are you?”

— — —

In which Rey, ward to Luke, the High Wizard of all Chandrila, encounters a magic mirror — with a shard named Kylo Ren trapped inside.

Song of the Forest 

by @shewhospeakswiththunder

Once upon a time, a girl peered into a forest.

And something looked back.

...

Rey has been fascinated by the tale of a curse, about a lost prince, a murdered king, a creature who haunts the forest, devouring hearts of wanderers. But when she meets him... he is not what she expects.

(Full disclosure, I’m the beta for this fic and I’m so gleeful I get to read ahead of everyone! It’s that good!)

The Swan Prince { Reylo Fairytale Series }

I made the vow for him.  Do you hear?  The vow I made was for him.

Rey’s memories of the prince are clear as lake water on a summer’s day. As children, they despised each other, bickering and fighting. As they grew older, they resented each other’s presence each summer and the impending marriage arranged before her parents’ deaths. Ben Organa was swift to anger and Rey was more than happy to avoid him, favoring the woods over the pristine marble halls of his palace. Deep in the forest, with her bow in hand, Rey could try to forget that she would one day be forced to marry him for the good of their kingdoms.

Until one morning, Ben joined her on her hunt. She grudingly showed him how to set a trap, and in return he taught her how to swim in the river. As time passed, Rey realized that the angry little boy she knew…was no longer a boy, but a man who was soon to be a king. The politics faded away, the arrangement forged between their families only a small part of why she chose to return every year. Through letters, they become each other’s confidants and advisors, and Rey quickly came to admire Ben’s defiance and the steel blood that ran through his veins. One summer, she made the journey to his kingdom early and his parents threw a ball in celebration. Leading her in a dance, Ben told her that he would rather have her to rule at his side than anyone else in the world.

But there was a growing evil that plagued the land. A dark magic that crept over his kingdom…their kingdom. One day, on the high road, Ben and his knights were attacked, never to be seen again. In the wake of the prince’s disappearance, people begin to whisper of a Force-Witch who takes the form of a black swan. It is rumored that She lives in the mountains, near an abandoned castle with a glassy lake, and that all those who seek Her and are unlucky enough to find Her are cursed forever.

Only a vow of everlasting love can break the spell, and Rey is nothing if not a huntress.
