The Courtship of Rachel Palpatine - A Regency Tale

My regency fic is back! And with a new - more fitting - title! I'm excited to bring this chapter to you and even more excited for what's to come! Enjoy!

Chapter 4: A New Dance

Summary: A frustrated Ben gets the chance to woo Miss Palpatine at a dance.

Rated M

-

Sneak Peek

Dame Holdo herself appeared, as if summoned by Rey’s words. Rey smiled brightly, sincerely delighted to see the dame. After the two women bowed to each other, Dame Holdo turned to Hux, who bowed as well. 

“Mr. Hux, do excuse me, but I must introduce Rachel to someone.”

Before Hux could express the displeasure that was written all over his pale face, Rey was tugged through the crowd by her illustrious hostess. 

In the last direction she expected or wanted.

“Ben, my dear!”

Melody for Reylo?

I went regency au with this one. This is giving a very particular scene from the 1995 version of Sense and Sensibility. If you’ve seen it, I guarantee you’ll know what I mean! 😍🎶

Benjamin Solo marched up the steps and into the Skywalker estate, not relishing the idea of a family dinner, but knowing that when he was summoned he was expected to make an appearance. As he came through the entry way though, the often present scowl on his face instantly began to soften as he was met with a haunting melody coming from the sitting room.

Reaching the doorway, he stopped there to observe a young woman seated at the piano, not only creating the melody which had graced his ears upon arrival, but singing as well. He was nothing short of transfixed until the song came to a conclusion.

Leia must have turned then, jumping up and alerting everyone to his arrival as she exclaimed, “There you are my dear Benjamin, and you have just missed our lovely guest, Miss Rey Niima, performing a song for us.”

Ben inclined his head to the young woman who stood from the piano, keeping his eyes locked to her sparkling brown ones, and softly stating, “A great pity, indeed.”

Earis Recs 3.1 - Sex Pollen. That's It. That's the Rec.

There’s something pure about sex pollen fic. It’s just compulsory fucking. That’s it. I’ve often joked that sex pollen walked so that A/B/O could run, but sex pollen does not have the societal complications of A/B/O and certainly does not require alternate anatomies. Sex pollen can run the gamut from crack fic (oh no, we’ve wandered into this mysterious greenhouse together what will happen) to heavy plot-driving devices (oh no, we’re mortal enemies who have been forced to have sex maybe we should work together.) Sex pollen can be considered to be a subset of a larger aphrodisiac-related trope. In aphrodisiac fics, there are all sorts of entities causing the need to fuck - including sand, moth dust, aphrodiasiac sap, alien pheremones, etc.. And while it usually rides the line of dub-con/non-con, it doesn’t have to mean that the characters themselves are forcing themselves on each other (at least until one party doses the other(s) without consent).

For my first iteration of this theme, I will be focusing on classic sex pollen in Reylo (but there will be background pairings, which I will note). 6 full fics plus a 7th microfic/drabble. As always, if you think there is a tag I missed, please let me know. And for some of these authors, I could not find them on Twitter or Tumblr, so please let me know if I’m missing someone.

General Warning: For sex pollen, most of these recs are dub-con, verging on non-con. Please read the tags in the fic!

1. This Dust Survives

Author: RedRoseWhite; Twitter

Rey has houseplants in her pod on Ajan Kloss. She starts have sex with her friends. She learns about love, friendship, loyalty, strength, and kindness. When the Force Bond opens, she shares what she has learned with Ben and brings him home. While Rey is definitely horny because of the plants, she does not regret what she has done. I love this fic because it is sweet and languid and sexy in the best way. It does have non-Reylo sex, but the true emotional connection here is Rey and Ben and it is Reylo HEA.

Pairing: Reylo, Rey/Rose, Rey/Kaydel/Poe, Rey/Original Male Character Status: Complete Rating: Explicit Warning: Dub-con due to sex pollen

2. Avaritia

Author: bbl8te; Twitter; Tumblr

Rey is lost and stranded on an unknown planet. In a panic, she reaches out through the Force to Kylo. When he gets there, he realizes that Rey has been exposed to a plant that causes living things to want to have sex. This fic a great example of one of my favorite sex pollen tropes - when one of the characters realizes what is going on and tries valiantly to resist the pull of the sex pollen, despite the fact that they want the other person, even without the botanical encouragement. Kylo Ren is tinged with sadness here and feels resigned to violence, but Rey brings him to a more hopeful place.

Pairing: Reylo Status: Complete Rating: Explicit Warning: Dub-con due to sex pollen

Translated into English - The Strange Affair of Venerem Pollini

Translated by: ELopez, with help from Everren (Twitter; Tumblr) and annonna

Regency Era Sex Pollen AU. Need I say more?

Okay, okay. Miss Rose Tiloy-Connor needs Euryale Palpatine to chaperone her when she and her suitor Lord Armitage Huxley visit a greenhouse to witness the blooming of a rare flower rumored to be the incarnation of a fertility goddess. Unfortunately for Euryale, the utterly unbearable Lord Benvolio Kylopold Soloren is there with Hux. Hopefully the beautiful flower’s blooming will provide some much-needed entertainment.

Pairing: Reylo, Gingerrose, various other background characters Status: Complete Rating: Explicit Warning: Dub-con due to sex pollen, public sex, public orgy, period typically attitudes towards extra marital sex

4. Blue Flowers and Silver Skin

Author: blueyedgurl

FUCK OR DIE. Ugh, what a great fuck or die sort of medieval AU. Rey is looking for a specific flower to make a potion. The flower, she knows, has a pollen that, if encountered, makes people want to fuck, and if they don’t, they will perish. She’s carefully harvesting the flowers when the local woodsman, Ben, comes into the clearing, covered in pollen. Whatever will happen?

Pairing: Reylo Status: Complete Rating Explicit Warning: Dub-con due to sex pollen, rough sex, somnophilia

5. Apart From My Beating Heart

Author: ReyloRobin2011

A post-TROS fix-it fic (sort of). After facing Palpatine, Ben and Rey escape Exegol in the decrepit X-Wing. They crash land on a planet with some very interesting trees and are overwhelmed with desire. This fic is lyrical and lovely, especially for a sex pollen fic. The sex is wonderful, and the ending strangely happy.

Pairing: Reylo Status: Complete Rating: Explicit Warning: Dub-con due to sex pollen, mild somnophilia

6. Unto Dust

Author: LyricalRiot; Twitter; Tumblr

Post TLJ, Rey is searching the galaxy for works that can help her learn about the Force. She lands on a planet with the promise of deep knowledge about the Force, but her journey brings her into a cave populated by plants with a very specific purpose - increase fertility by causing a driving desire to have sex. Unfortunately, the desire for sexual pleasure is so intense that people exposed to the plant will waste away from dehydration while they are trying to satisfy their appetites. Hey, what do you know - it’s FUCK OR DIE again! When Rey is affected, the Force bond opens and Kylo recognizes where Rey is and what is happening. In addition to some very hot sex, this fic has great character work, as the two of them try to find a common ground.

Pairing: Reylo Status: Complete Rating: Explicit Warning: Dub-con due to sex pollen

AND A BONUS MIICROFIC (DRABBLE)

7. Allergic (part 4 of Cap’s Explicit Reylo Microfics)

Author: CaptainMarvel42; Twitter; Tumblr

Basically, Rey’s been exposed to flower pollen and is sooooo horny. Kylo won’t touch her.

Pairing: Reylo Status: Complete Rating: Explicit Warning: Dub-con due to sex pollen, voyeurism

#reylo #star wars #fanfiction #fandom #earis recs #fanfiction recs #rec list #fic rec #ben solo #kylo ren #rey #gingerrose #sex pollen #sex pollen thats it thats the rec

[francesderwent]

Okay, I'm guessing some of the list, since this now looks like a guessing game: 13 is Jess and Rory from Gilmore Girls. 2 is Irenedes, Queen's Thief. One of those films is Steve and Peggy. And I *want* to say Zutara's on the TV shows list but I don't think it is, I think it's in the Honourable Mentions.

oh wow I totally did not intend for number 2 to trick you like that!! Irenides comes in at #7 (it's not an OTP until someone loses a limb)

JESS AND RORY

given the fact that I actually screamed and grabbed whichever brother was sitting next to me when I saw it the first time, it's gotta go to the time when he chases her down in the town square and rory says "fine, let's hear it. I've thought a lot about this: what would jess say to me, what could he possibly say?" and jess says "I love you" and then walks away. he's crazy

all gilmore girls ships are, at best, fucked up (affectionate), with the possible exception of lane and dave, but jess and rory do definitely achieve (affectionate) status.

"All You Had to Do Was Stay", by Taylor Swift, because "I think I may have loved you, but I have to let it go" = "it could have been easy / all you had to do was stay"

they've got a little of that good good Han/Leia energy?? because he's always leaving and yet he is really getting better, and she has all these expectations on her but he really sees her.

I live for Jess and Rory in their friendship era, so my preferred AU is always one which gets rid of Dean early but keeps them in their friendship and lets that grow

they didn't make the list! I was extremely picky with my tv show ships, because a lot of them get poisoned in the long run (and not in a fun way) so if specific moments make me insane but the big picture leaves me cold, I left them off

STEVE AND PEGGY

my favorite moment of theirs is actually that last shot of Endgame of their dance!! truly a non-verbal MOMENT, so much is communicated!!!!!

it's Captain America we're talking about, obviously they're wholesome (affectionate)

maybe it just came on my shuffle or maybe it's the perfect song for every good ship out there, but "This Love" by Taylor Swift. "these hands had to let it go free and this love came back to me"

they have that rare thing that is first love and true love at the same time!! who else?? this is a slight cop-out because the boys are identical but Carrot and Angua, of course!!!!

no more of this bullshit separation. they both get sent to 2012 AU

alas they are not on the list

ZUKO AND KATARA

if I didn't say the moment when he took the lightning strike for her...would I even be me? special mention to the bit in ember island players where zuko sits next to katara and then aang whines but zuko refuses to move >:)

this is maybe the hardest couple to categorize yet???? they're so freaking dramatic that it seems underwhelming to call them wholesome but they're not exactly fucked up either?? I'm calling them wholesome but know that I am dissatisfied with my own system

I am going to be extremely annoying and say "All I Need" by Within Temptation because "can you still see the heart of me" has those good good "you were going to heal my scars in the caves and then I betrayed you and I'm just trying to get back to that place where you thought you could maybe trust me" vibes.

I am sorry. (reylo)

stick those kids in a regency AU. zuko is upstart new money he inherited from his father's trading and katara is from an old family with no money at all. they still both have their bending because DUH

you are right! they are in the honorable mentions!!

#ask game #thanks for playinggggg #I almost did three taylor swift songs in a row #and then I compromised by doing two taylor swift songs #and then one song shameless cribbed from the vampire diaries

A Wager and a Promise - A Regency Tale

After a long sojourn away, Ben Organa-Solo returns to the ton of Chandrila to accept his inheritance as the new Duke of Naberrie. Due to his rakish reputation, his mother insists he marry. Rebelling, Ben concocts a scheme and makes a wager with his best friend:

To court and win the heart of Rey Palpatine, the granddaughter of his family's archenemy.

Rated E

Chapter 3: Irritation

Rey laments about the Duke's attentions and her grandfather has news. Ben is confronted by his mother.

[mermaidsirennikita]

I hated Reylo but I really don't understand this grudge. Who gives a flying fuck if Hazelwood is a Reylo shipper who got a book deal? Who cares if it's bad and that somehow is connected to what she's shipping?

I'm pretty ambivalent on Reylo--I think it was hot but I don't think I saw it as like, the STRAIGHT UP ROMANCE other people saw it as. I super don't care that they did, it just wasn't what I saw. I loved his whole "be my dark empress" thing because I love a dark empress invitation, I think she was about as compelling as a twig for every movie except TLJ, I think Adam Driver smashing things and wiping rain/metaphorical vaginal secretions from his face is sexy, but I never wanted to watch them ride off into the sunset together. I do think that due to the massiveness of the Reylo fandom and the dynamics of the ship, there are some very good fanfic writers in the fandom, and I believe that it's natural for fanfic writers to make a transition into romance if they can hack it. I guarantee you that Ali is not the only Reylo shipper publishing right now. She's just the one with the biggest story.

Ali did a thing that many fanfic writers do, which I think is totally valid, in that she took her AU fic (which already bore little to no resemblance to the original source material) switched the names and some details, and published it. She's traditionally published. It being marketed as published Reylo fanfic is not up to Ali. If her publisher thought that was a bad move for whatever reason, it wouldn't have been marketed that way. They wanted to lean in, and so they did, and so she did, and wow don'tcha know it worked.

The publisher saw Ali as a safe bet for many reasons, imo--her book is contemporary and right now contemporary romance is the dominant romance subgenre, it's romcomy and romcoms are big in romance at the moment (.... sigh), she had a sizable built in readership and an extended fanbase that would read the book having never heard of her before simply because it was Reylo-oriented, and it has a topical, marketable addition that comes with it being centered on women in STEM, which... Ali is as well. Wanna point that out. I don't know much about Ali beyond her books, but I do find it hilarious that people are dunking on her like she's just schlepping about reliant on fanfic, when I'm pretty sure she's a neuroscientist who, last I checked, is still a professor. That in itself makes her more marketable because it's a good angle to sell people on when those people wouldn't normally read romance. And like? The Reylo fanbase is a HUGE untapped market for romance. Lots of people who read tons of fanfic don't read romance novels, even though those books would probably appeal to them, simply because they don't realize it. These books are gateway drugs for them, ideally, and then they'll read more and buy more and realize that there are a LOT of romance novels that would appeal to them perfectly. If I could get Reylos to read my historical romance? YOU FUCKING BET I WOULD. Cracking those existing fanbases is huge, monetarily.

(Also, FYI to any Reylos reading this: historical romance is probably your ideal jam, the hulking big bad man and the woman he loves is... big.... there.)

Doubtless, more poc need to be published across the board. But the reality is that Ali collaborating with her agent and using tropes to market her book isn't unusual--it's the norm. And genre in general is more trope-based, so while I do think some authors are overly reliant on tropes and there is a slippery slope you tiptoe near with that marketing... It's fine to say "what if I did enemies to lovers with older woman/younger man and they're chefs and there's only one bed BUT IN REGENCY ENGLAND" or whatever, and crank out your book. That's fine. I, as a writer, will give you a different interpretation of a trope than Ali would, or Beverly Jenkins would, or Cat Sebastian would, and so on and so forth.

And the reality is, too--use what you've got, man. It's nice to get precious about changing the world with your project that is So Unlike Anything Ever Seen Before, but you've also gotta pay the bills. Publishing is a business, and there's nothing wrong with producing something with the goal of selling it because you want to make money doing something that's fun for you. It's still art, even if it's not what some would call "high art".

I honestly wish that the people complaining about Ali would spend some time reading and promoting books by people they'd like to see more of us, versus complaining about her.

by Marauder23

“Uncle Lor! Really, I must protest! Is it not an arcane and wholly offensive practice to brandish me like cattle at the stocks?”

“Aurelia, please,” he beseeched, sounding far too tired as he pinched the bridge of his nose. “Your presentation to the queen should have happened two years ago, but at your insistence I refrained. Now, though…” He let out a shallow wheezing cough and slouched back further in the richly upholstered wingback chair.

***

In which, Rey must find a suitor this season due to the ailing health of her Uncle Lor and an ill-fated promise to him. However, she wants to do so on her terms with a love match. Meanwhile, Benjamin Organa Solo, now Duke of Naboo, is back at his estate. His mother is determined he wed to finally settle down and secure their title, lands, and lineage.

As they both look for their match this season, they continue to find themselves pushed together through fate and circumstance. The only problem? They loathe each other.

A Reylo Regency AU heavily inspired by Austen's works, specifically Pride & Prejudice, as well as Bridgerton.
