Truth or dare / rival-ish to lovers / boarding school / alcohol / groping / dub-con / mature / drabble 😬

~ For ReyloHot1s ~

🌶️

It started out as a dare.

“Make out with Ben Solo and slip this hot pepper into his mouth.”

Bazine dangled it by the stem in front of Rey’s face. Her nose tingled as the spice prickled her senses. She could already feel her eyes watering.

Rey glanced over across the auditorium where Ben stood with a group of his friends, towering above the rest of them. White button-down and maroon tie. She wanted to yank him by the end of it. Pull him down to her level.

He looked like goddamn sex on legs. He always did. The bastard.

Maybe it was the alcohol she downed in the dorm pre-game, but something made her think she could do it. She could accomplish this dare. She wanted to.

Was it because this was her chance to see what all the fuss was about? To pursue her thinly veiled crush and have an excuse to do more than roll her eyes at him when he did something so stupidly boyish (while looking hot as hell) with his friends? Was it also an opportunity to wipe that smug smile off his face when she planted one on him and passed that pepper between their lips?

Fuck it. She looked hot. Her tits looked great. She’d give him a kiss he’d never fucking forget—

Rey took the little pepper out of Bazine’s outstretched hand and turned on her heel.

“Oh my god, is she really going to—“

She didn’t hear anything else whichever of her friends had to say because she was halfway across the dance floor already. The stem of the pepper twirled between her thumb and forefinger at her side.

Ben caught sight of her approach, his demeanor instantly changing. He straightened, growing impossibly taller. That smirk and lopsided grin sliding into place in greeting.

Cocky bastard.

She noticed how his eyes scanned her in the darkened room. At the tight black tube top she wore that hugged her chest in all the right places. A similar tight black skirt stretched across her hips. His plush lips pressed together as he pushed his enormous hands into his pockets. The air around him sizzled with heat. His friends part, making space for her, eyebrows raised at her courage.

Rey didn’t give him a chance to say the first word, falling into her earlier compulsion and yanking him closer to her by his necktie.

“You’re coming with me.”

🌶️

They moved to a corner of the auditorium to the sound of hoots and low-pitched “Yoooos” trailing behind them as Ben let her drag him away from his friends.

Rey glanced back once to see Vicrul give Ben a bro shake, like he was congratulating him on his accomplishments.

She wondered how smug he’d be in a few minutes. As she had her back to him, Rey put the pepper into her mouth, careful not to bite down just yet.

The beat of the music thumped in time with her pulse as she swung Ben around herself, forcing him against the wall. He hit it with a soft grunt she heard so deep in his chest.

He just watched her, waiting for her to make her move. The air around them was unspoken as the question flitted in her head.

I dare you.

She couldn’t speak with the pepper in her mouth. Didn’t want to accidentally trigger the effects and ruin her chance at winning this dare. She was going to cement her status as Rey Niima: stubborn, (possibly stupid), but a girl you don’t mess with. A girl who doesn’t take anyone’s shit. Least of all Ben Solo.

Without a word she stepped into his space. It was subtle—how his throat bobbed in anticipation, his eyes slightly dropping to this half-lidded expression as they drop to her mouth. His hands didn’t lift to touch her. Not yet. Still waiting for her to determine if they should.

Suddenly, he seemed less like the cock-sure jock that was always messing around with his friends across campus. The rumors of his escapades were endless. He’d often have his arm around a girl in the dining hall, whispering in her ear, making her laugh.

It didn’t make Rey jealous. Not at all. Their dynamic was different. And she wasn’t going to let him know that she wanted to know what all the fuss was about. That their slight rival dynamic wasn’t just because she liked knocking him down a few pegs, but because she thought about the softness of his lips while staring off into space in Chem—

Rey shook her head. Now wasn’t the time for this. Focus.

One hand went up and her fingers curled around his striped Jedi Academy tie. He would wear a piece of his school uniform to the one event where they’re allowed to finally be out of dress code. Rey knew she was pushing it with the sliver of skin exposing her belly. But Ms. Kanata only gave her and her friends a raised brow.

At least, that’s all the reprimanding Rey may get unless she’s caught making out with the school’s star striker in a quieter corner of the auditorium.

Which… is what she should be doing right now. Their friends were surely watching them from across the room. Her friends waiting to see Ben’s reaction. His ready to pat him on the back for getting Rey Niima to actually make a move.

She didn’t just kiss anyone, and definitely not at a school dance. But there’s never been a dare involved before. And she hated to lose.

Deciding it was like ripping a band-aid off, Rey pulled him by his tie and one corner of his shirt collar, closing her eyes as their lips collide.

It was closed-mouthed at first, until she remembered she had a scorching hot pepper on her tongue that she was supposed to swipe with Ben’s. But he was the one who was quick to change that, taking the kiss as his green light.

His hands were on her ass in a second, surprising her as he crushed her against the hard panes of his chest. Rey swore she could feel the ridges of his six-pack against her exposed skin. It was like melding her body against a boulder. She gasped, allowing a small part in her lips which Ben took advantage of.

His tongue dove first, slipping into her mouth and prying her open. She’s so lost in it she forgets about the pepper entirely. Ben didn’t seem to notice. Their tongues tangled together in a dance—or more like a fight for dominance.

The way Ben sucked at her face made her feel like she was his only source of air. And shit, he was really good at it. At making the world fall away and entirely occupying all of her senses.

When it was actually necessary they both breathe, Ben pulled away only to thread one of his hands around her neck, holding her close as he whispered in her ear, “You’re so fucking hot.”

His words made Rey’s molars grind together as the muscles in her body tightened. Heat coursed down her from her head to her toes. Beneath her tight skirt, her thighs pressed against each other, wanting to relieve some of the tension that had sweat beginning to permeate her skin.

As she thought about willing her heart to steady, Ben’s mouth latched back onto hers, satisfied with the effect of his words. When his tongue next delved into her mouth the feeling is sharp, like a white hot slice and—

—and her mouth was on fire.

She must’ve bit down on the pepper, and usually her tolerance for heat is hers alone to tackle, but as the oil from the chili pepper swirled against Ben’s tongue trying to carve out as much space into her mouth as he could, suddenly he stopped.

The spice had to have hit him as Rey sensed her own mouth start to go numb. Ben pulled away and spat on the floor beside them. Rey glanced quickly down to see the half-bitten pepper blearily on the darkened floor.

“The fuck—“ she heard Ben curse as he tried to make sense of her dare.

Except, he didn’t push her away as realization hit in the form of his scorching mouth. Some of the strobe lights from the dance floor flick over to them and Rey could see the intensity in his eyes.

Like a hawk snatching its prey, Ben hunched down.

“You like it when it hurts, Niima?” Ben’s voice grated against her throat. Her mouth was one fire, she couldn’t taste anything. Could hardly feel anything either. Her tolerance for spicy foods was commendable, and yet she burned. Everywhere.

It was a different kind of burn than from the hot pepper she had sliding against her tongue moments before. It was the kind that had all of her nerve endings on fire. A heat that made her heart pound against her chest. This desire to keep it lit is what had her licking a stripe up the column of Ben’s neck. The taste of his sweat tingled against her numbed tastebuds.

She felt his reaction in the grip of his hands on her hips, pulling her tightly against his body as he ground his erection into her. Hard bulge obvious against the soft swell between her hips.

Despite what she tried to do to him, he seemed unfazed. Or rather, the reaction she expected was not what she got.

His mouth found hers again as he mauled at her. As if the harder he kissed her would compensate for the prank she played on him. On herself.

Ben’s hands slid around her ass and he squeezed.

“What I want to do to you,” he growled, loud enough for her to hear as her mouth tore away and she smashed her lips and teeth against his jaw then his jugular.

Her hands scrabbled at his shirt, blindly feeling for his tie and top buttons. He let her do whatever she wanted, mindless to it all except for the task of keeping her close.

Whatever he wanted to do to her, she wanted him to too.

Rey nipped at his skin as his hands kept groping her ass, as if he couldn’t get enough of it. Of her.

His thumbs hooked into the elastic waistband of her skirt and she wished she’d worn a shorter one. One that he could had slid his hand up and touched her where she wanted him to.

Time evaded them as they stayed in that corner. Long enough for the effects of the pepper to wear away. Long enough for Rey to blink and notice the music had stopped and the lights were up.

Rey blinked, tearing herself far enough away for her eyesight to clear. As it does, she noticed Ben’s hair slightly damp and sweaty. His chest panted against hers. His lips were flushed red, likely similar to hers but due to their height difference, Rey’s eyes landed on his neck where pinkish bruises had started to form. His tie was loosened, somehow some of the buttons of his shirt had come undone, likely from her grabbing at him, revealing some of that delectable chest…

At the sound of catcalls and whistles, Rey realized they were no longer shrouded in darkness, that Bazine was cheering her on for fulfilling her dare. That everyone knew just what they were doing.

Surely a chaperone was going to stomp toward them and yank them apart—

“Hey—“ Ben’s voice was hoarse, but it snapped her attention right back to him.

Their bodies were still pressed against each other. She could feel his hand, hot and massive on her back. She couldn’t stop staring at what she did to his neck…

“Wanna go back to my dorm?” That throat bobbed with his words, and while Rey heard them (every deep syllable), it took a while for her to realize just what he’d asked. He was still hard against her, despite their now obvious audience.

It was then that she realized she hadn’t said a word, not since this whole thing started. She wasn’t sure if she even had a voice.

But she did know what she wanted.

Rey’s gaze flicked up to Ben’s, shivering at the look in his eyes. The heat that had nothing to do with the hot pepper (but maybe a little to do with her dare).

She nodded.

Ben reached between them with the hand that wasn’t on her back, adjusting himself, but from what Rey could feel, she wasn’t sure if there was any hiding that.

Guess the rumors about his size were true…

By the expression on Ben’s face as he stared at her, excitement flared in Rey’s belly. Her lips tingled as she licked them, Ben’s gaze darting to it.

“Fuck, Niima.” She liked how he hissed her name.

Then suddenly, he was tugging her away, hand still on her back as he pulled her to his side and made a beeline to the auditorium doors.

“You’re welcome!” Bazine called as they passed their group of friends.

Rey was too preoccupied (and horny) to care.

And maybe she couldn’t feel her mouth anymore—but she knew she was about to feel a whole lot of something else.

(Ben’s 🌶️)

In celebration of #ReyloHot1s hosted by @anopendoor and @pocketsofdaisy , here is my contribution of "Never Have I Ever…" for the prompt "Truth Or Dare". Gear up for a wild night of fun and games with this story and I hope that you will enjoy it! 😉 Happy reading everyone at

Synopsis: Truth Or Dare

Racy and exciting, it is a game where players are given the choice between answering a question truthfully or performing a dare

The players? Rey, Ben, Rose, Armitage, Poe and Kaydel…

When foreign exchange students Rey Skywalker and Ben Solo meet over spring for six unforgettable months, sparks fly between them and they are inseparable with every passing waking second. Over their eventual separation when Rey returns home after her course, their romance continues to bloom through constant texts and engagements. A love so great which can't be sundered by distance. When they meet eventually over a sleepover where Rey introduces Ben to her closest friends, embarrassing truths come to light and they are eventually compelled to face the most significant truth of their lives.

Are they or are they not a blossoming couple in love…?

Reylo The Last Jedi & The Rise of Skywalker fics and AUs that were far better than the movies! ;)

Look, okay. Here's the hard truth: A lot of us wish the series was cancelled after The Force Awakens because what in the actual hell was all that nonsense that followed? Anyway, I was in the mood for TFA or TFA-like fics and my readers responded!! I received TLJ and TRoS fics that are actually quite good, so I'll be addressing those in this post! Thank you everyone for contributing! This is almost entirely a crowd-sourced fic rec list from one of my other posts.

Just in time for reading season (keep an eye on @fanfic-reading-challenge for this and next year’s challenges!) and revisiting some of the best fics from or relating to fixing two of the sequel trilogy fiilms (sigh). There are a couple that delve into the OT and PT but are rare, and there are a few ships other than Reylo, which will be clearly marked, don’t worry!

Fics will be alphabetized by story name, and may need to be broken into a couple posts, which I’ll link together here at a later point.

The point of my fic rec requests were for that old-school, fight-me bro. proud to be a reylo feeling and the sigh we all inevitably let out. There was just something so magical about TFA stories, really….

I’m a Millennial but I’m going to say something really Boomer: I wish for the good ole’ days!! :’(

Included are classics, hidden gems, very… unique fics, some that were written post-TFA and then others that were written post-the other movies because we all just miss TFA too much, hahaha. There are also AUs that fit TFA-themes or were written in the pre-TLJ years.

TFA-related Part One | TFA-related Part Two | TLJ-related & TRoS-related

Dates are posted as Y/M/D. Coloured titles are non-Reylo (or at least not just Reylo) Please ignore them rather than making a deal out of it!

***Fics recommended almost exclusively by stranger submission with a few thrown in from my bookmarks!***

Beautiful images gifted and also commissioned for me with @pandacapuccino the wonderful lady she is!

_~_

Fics that make The Last Jedi far more satisfying.

Chapters: 20/34 (last updated 2021-05-18)

Summary: Rey is the bright hope of the Resistance, but as loss piles upon loss she feels herself begin to crumble beneath the weight of their expectations. More lost than ever, Rey feels a growing desperation to find her place in all of this, heartbroken at the thought that it could mean going on alone. One night, when her sorrows allow the Force to reach out across the galaxy and through her tattered barriers, she rediscovers that sense of connection she'd felt so briefly months before... and turned away from. When she dares to offer a second chance, Rey learns the man she failed to cut out of her heart still longs for her with equal intensity. Now, Rey and Ben Solo have a secret. Each committed to opposite sides in a war tearing the galaxy apart, they nurture the unusual Bond they share in stolen moments that grow more meaningful each time the Force draws them together. As the stakes rise ever higher, they learn just what it means to have a love worth fighting for. What is this, Ben... what are we?

Leia has grounded Rey, keeping her confined to the new Resistance base on Barkhesh. Despite her protests, Rey falls into a boring routine, until she's given a Force vision urging her that the answers she seeks are on Tatooine. /// She follows her intuition, running to Tatooine; running inexplicably to Kylo Ren.

Summary: Rey turns around again, starting to descend the steps, leaving him alone in the temple. ‘You can’t be here. Go back to your sycophants.’ He stands up abruptly and she flinches, shying away. ‘Have we really regressed back to being enemies now? After all this time?’ He motions between them, to the ephemeral, unbreakable bond. Rey faces him, her hazel eyes so full of sorrow; it pierces straight to the core of him, an arrow to the heart. ‘You made your choices. You chose the Dark, Ben. You chose to kill the rebels rather than help them. There’s nothing I can do to help you anymore. So yes, you’re my enemy. And you need to leave.’ She turns away again, starting down the flight of steps that lead away from the cliff. The water in the pool undulates as her footsteps peter out, and Kylo stares into the pool, at his reflection, the scarred, damaged face that doesn’t even come close to portraying the conflict within. The face of the First Order. He hates it more than he ever has. You're no Vader. You're just a child. In a mask.

Rey was already a bad Jedi, so in the dark of the AT-AT that had sheltered her during her vulnerable years, she gave in to the allure of the fantasy. Kylo Ren’s tall frame and big hands, his dark hair and hungry eyes. His desperation as he’d said “Please.” The sheer size of him, combined with the peek at his vulnerabilities she’d gotten from this strange, antagonistic Force bond. As if she’d summoned him, his consciousness brushed against her own, dark and tempting. You hate me, he said in her mind. There wasn’t a word to encompass how she felt about him. Yes, she agreed, ignoring the twinge of guilt.

Suddenly he's leaning into her, their faces so close together. "Tell me," he murmurs, his lips almost brushing against hers, "have you ever heard of the term kissing cousins?"

Except now she was his jailer, his benefactor; despite all his protests and, admittedly, her better judgment. Surviving the Steadfast, Hux's only hope was to barter his First Order knowledge for his life. It's not a trade the Resistance wants to make. He's a killer of almost unimaginable magnitude, and if he'd been a turncoat once, he'd be a turncoat again. Only Rose, who had been coordinating with the spy unaware of his true identity, believes he deserves a second chance, even if Hux himself disagrees. Buried under all the pain she's endured, some at the hands of Hux himself, is her belief that he can help rebuild a galaxy he once tried to slaughter into submission.

Ppl aren’t mocking users for reading romance. In fact, they pointed out that the genre of romance exists.

They were mocking them for centring their consumption of media around ships and shipping, which is actually a problem in terms of how it affects both the consumer and the media itself, esp in capitalism.

It’s not even a new problem. Ppl writing to Louisa May Alcott about Jo and Laurie getting married pissed her off to no end. The whole reason that Professor Bhaer exists is because of pressure from her publisher to marry Jo off, so she went with the least appealing option for young girls she could think of. In her own version, she would have just kept Jo happy and single.

And the problem isn’t just with the impact it has on writers.

Actor Tyler Posey is STILL getting harassed a decade after he rightly pointed out that it’s kind of bizarre and twisted to watch a show solely because you want material for your crack ship. John Boyega received extreme, pretty racist harassment for not bowing to the demands of Reylo shippers. And just this past summer, Anthony Mackie’s comments on shipping garnered a lot of undeserved backlash, not just from tumblr and Twitter, but also from youtubers with substantial followings.

And while harassment over shipping in fandom itself is usually dismissed as “intrafandom drama”, it actually has had material consequences.

Fandom columnist and writer Stitch of Stitch’s Media Mix was subject to a campaign to have them fired from their column at Teen Vogue, after years of harassment and attempts to deplatform them. Youtuber SarahZ experienced so much harassment, including threats and slander, that they took their Twitter down prior to posting a second video that largely dealt with personal and observed harassment in fandom. Like Stitch, they’ve also lost work opportunities and had to deal with the trauma of these experiences. And these are just two of the most VISIBLE people who’ve had to deal with this.

Anyone in fandom who dares to go against the party line of “transformative work and shipping is the best and most progressive of all media” by pointing out that, at best, fandom is basically neutral, and at worst, portions of fandom and shipping are actually harmful, is subject to a barrage of abuse. Threats, insinuations, outright lies, in a hailstorm of intimidation with the purpose of silencing anyone who tries to improve fandom spaces.

“Free speech for me but not for thee” is the rallying cry of these crowds. Bigoted fan fic and fan art are more worthy of protection, according to these people, than the living human beings targeted by these fics and the people who speak out against them.

The honest truth is that a vocal faction of fandom is so caught up in shipping that they can’t conceive of any form of critical thought about it. And they view people who can think critically about fandom and shipping as threats, monsters they need to batter at and intimidate until they go away.

But the truth is that there are no monsters in fandom. There are, however, a lot of people in fandom that view attempts to make fandom a better, more fun place for everyone, instead of just a privileged few, as a threat to their way of life. They’re the problem, not the people trying to help.

sylki shippers that have never been reylo shippers, don't dare to feel down because of antis' comments.

reylo antis told us we lost when the last jedi came out. they told us rey didn't feel anything for kylo because she closed a door on his face and kylo only manipulated her, only for watching them telling each other's feelings in the next movie, confirming their romantic feelings.

sylki antis may distort what's canon but you all know the truth cause you can see it, loki and sylvie are in love but at that moment sylvie's feelings for revenge were stronger than her feelings for loki. the kiss was a distraction yes, but it was also real and you know it.

this is just an angsty break.

don't give up!
