Final Chapter of Take my Damn Hand!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/22635688/chapters/96399477
Chapter 12: Have Your Atonement and Your Fairytale Too
Summary: Now re-reunited in the mortal worlds, Rey and Ben will have to face this odd royalty idea. Finn apologizes for making yesterday’s weird situation weirder. Also, Rey is horny, and DONE waiting. And when Ben is finally about to start his trench run, he hears a ghostly voice. "Use the tongue, Ben."
Preview
“I love you.” Ben’s warm breath glided past her ear as he whispered, “Do you know how much I love you?”
“I think so,” Rey said softly, running her fingers back through his hair. “But I’d like to hear it anyway.”
“I love you so much that -” he paused to place a light but lingering kiss on her lips. “I love you so much that -” he began again. After a few seconds, he sighed. “I love you so much that I wish I was better with words.”
Rey smiled, still stroking his silken mane. “It’s alright. You don’t need to tell me. You’ve shown me. And I don’t think there’s a woman alive who would choose a man of romantic words over a man of romantic actions.”

New Chapter of Take my Damn Hand
https://archiveofourown.org/works/22635688/chapters/88217914
Chapter 11: Skywalkers are Drama Queens
Ben is mostly-dead after his run-in with the Sith artifact. Rey is losing her mind at the idea of losing him again. Meanwhile, a netherworld heart-to-heart with Leia clarifies a lot, and Ben finds that the "bond like life itself" is even more powerful than previously thought.
Preview:
“And what was it all for?” Leia asked, vehemently. “If you try and string the events of the last several decades together, all the death and sacrifice and impossible coincidence, what do you get? Just a bunch of space ships, laser swords and impractical hairstyles.”
His mother took his hand. “But it doesn’t have to be meaningless. If you and Rey make this choice, the choice to lead the galaxy to peace, then it will mean something. The battle between Skywalker and Palpatine created decades of war. An alliance, a partnership between Skywalker and Palpatine could create an era of peace.”
“Do you really think that is what the galaxy needs?” Ben asked thoughtfully.
Mom smiled. “Let me put it to you this way: The last year has been the story of a beautiful princess and handsome prince mysteriously drawn to each other despite being on opposite sides of a war. I ask you, what the hell is the point of a narrative like that if the prince and princess don’t get married and rule together in peace?”

New Chapter of Ben Vader AU!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/19246348/chapters/45767431
Canon-divergent AU in which Ben Solo was actually raised by Vader. Born following the Rebellion’s crushing defeat at Endor, Ben has spent his entire life under the assumption that his mother is dead and his father was some nameless deadbeat. The grandfather who raised him always seemed supportive and doting, even if he is more machine than man. But years later, Ben discovers that his grandfather may have lied about everything. Ben sets out to discover the truth about his mother, only to cross paths with a particular embittered old smuggler, his Wookiee sidekick, and their pretty new second mate. The Force has set Ben on a collision-course with not just his long-lost family, but his one true love.
Chapter Seven, In which there is a battle in the snow
https://archiveofourown.org/works/19246348/chapters/83009242
Rey’s first Force lesson doesn’t exactly go as planned. The now elderly Lord Vader is visited by the Ghost of Lifedays Past. Prepare for incoming Anakin/Obi-Wan shade-throwing.
Preview:
The memory was surprisingly vivid.
Ben, then aged about five, walked close to Vader’s side. The black-caped wizard cyborg and small boy entered the cantina. Conversation instantly went silent, the room filled only with the comfortingly familiar hiss of his grandfather’s ventilator. Ben could feel the curious stares of the patrons. He reached for Grandfather’s hand, firmly grasping one large, black-gloved finger, the bumps and ridges of the mechanical hand palpable through the black glove.
Vader strode up to the bar, it’s attendant standing with his back to them. “Excuse me,” Vader said, in a deep, electronic rumble. “The boy needs to use the ‘fresher.” The boy was what Vader called Ben in public or around the untrustworthy, having explained that it wasn’t safe to publicly own Ben as his grandson. Some people might try to hurt you if they knew how much I love you; Grandfather had said. It’s safer if most people just think that you are my orphan apprentice.
Back still toward them, the barkeep gave a curt answer. “Customers only.”
Vader responded with deadly calm. “I see. Do you have any non-intoxicating drinks?”
“What?” The barkeep sneered, finally turning around. The sight of Vader wiped the nasty look right off the barkeep’s face, and his voice suddenly took on at least some perfunctory politeness. “Er, I could pour a fruit mixer, and leave out the brandy.”
Vader turned to Ben, crouching slightly to speak to his small grandson, mechanical basso voice surprisingly soft. “Ben, would you like a juice?”

Chapter 10: Excessive Literary References
Some boring galactic politics, followed by juicy conflict and angst. All aboard the Ben Solo Pain Train. Also, Leia finally adds her two cents to the Force ghost’s discussion of why TRoS sucked.
And kudos to anyone who can identify the literary references!
Preview:
Finn went on. "He was on the Dark Side, Rey. And did some incredibly dark stuff. Even if Jedi are allowed to marry now, you shouldn’t marry him! He’s going to bring that Dark Side ideology with him! Is the new Jedi Order to be so polluted? If you were sensible of your own good, you wouldn't want to violate the Jedi principles you've committed yourself to.”
Rey drew in a deep breath, willing herself to answer him without shouting. "Finn, in marrying Ben I would not consider myself as truly violating those principles. I am newly sworn to the light and he has newly returned to it. So far we are equal."

Preview:
“Ready when you are, but... Is this going to, um, hurt?”
“Only if you fight me.” Ben damn near shuddered at his own semantics. How did you do this with a pretty girl, without seeming creepy? “Just relax.”
He allowed his consciousness to slip past the surface of her mind. Strange. Other times he’d done this, he always felt this pervasive sense of wrongness when he was in someone else’s mind. A sense of being both repulsed and repulsive.
But not now. Not with her. Her mind felt so open . Familiar and yet excitingly novel. Like visiting some place that you’ve only ever seen holos of. He felt himself instinctively leaning closer to her.
He sank through the surface thoughts toward her memories.
“So lonely,” he murmured, gliding through her recent past. He paused to investigate her meeting with Solo, her initial refusal to join the crew. “So afraid to leave.”
She was so interesting, he felt himself float away on her memories, into her deeper thoughts. Her desires. Her dreams. He was leaning so close, he could feel the faint heat of her skin on his cheek.

Rise of Skywalker 2: The Search for More Money (Part Two)
Rey and Ben pay a visit to the banking clan, where Rey will have to finally face her own heritage. The Force ghosts continue debating why TRoS sucked.
Preview:
The ghostly Jedi continued their heated discussion.
“Let’s not forget that there was a lot of other stuff that didn’t make any sense,” Luke pointed out.
On this, they all seemed to agree, and nods were exchanged.
“What the hell was with the dagger thing?” Mace Windu asked no one in particular.
“Fucking dumb, that was,” Master Yoda muttered.

Finally! Chapter 8 of Take My Damn Hand
https://archiveofourown.org/works/22635688/chapters/67423495
Chapter 8:
Rise of Skywalker 2: The Search for More Money (Part One)
Ben comes up with a plan to patch things up with the Resistance. Then smut.
Preview:
Rey’s pants and top came off, leaving her clad only in undergarments. Ben heard himself let out a quavering sigh. He was fairly certain he’d never seen anything more beautiful. The skin of her naked shoulders, her collarbone rising and falling with each breath, and the impressive contours of her subtly defined muscles. Perfection. A vision of loveliness no poet could capture.
She stood expectantly for a moment, and he realized that he had not started undressing himself. He quickly obliged, and with no particular insecurity either. On some level, Ben was aware that while there was plenty wrong with him, there was nothing at all wrong with his physique. Rey’s eyes gave him an appreciative once over.
With that, Rey seemed to wrap her arms around herself in a sort of embrace as she unfastened her support garment, lovely hazel eyes still locked on Ben’s, rosy lips parted. And her support garment came off.
BOOBS!
Ben’s mind went almost completely blank except for that one concept. BOOOOBS. It sounded like a claxon in his head. BOOOBS! No more thoughts of poetry. His whole mind, heart and spirit seized by the two glorious mounds of flesh on Rey’s chest. Beautiful, splendid, stunning BOOOOOOBS!

So, I might have found a Reylo Easter egg in the new Sims game… Now the scenes above were done with a cheat, but most of this behavior was AUTONOMOUS (as in, I did not make them do it, it was apparently programmed that way).
So, the only cheat I used was to add the official Batuu Rey to a playable family (her clothes change automatically when you do this), so I could play as her. After that, it was all the game. I sent her to the First Order area to talk with Kylo Ren (something I think can only happen if you use the cheat to add her to a playable family), and Kylo was still an (uncontrollable) NPC at this point. What I noticed is that he would occasionally approach Rey and “Question” her, as the NPC often does. From what I’ve seen, normally, when he questions a random playable character, they beg him to let them go. This is what playable Rey does… And then it gets interesting.
After he apparently decides to let her go, HE then proceeds to start pleading and begging, as you can see above. You can see the Resistance symbol with a line through it, so I infer that he is begging her to leave the Resistance. Rey then says something represented by a “thumbs up,” presumably agreeing with him. Kylo then makes a decidedly love-struck gesture, hands clasped over his heart. Maybe he does this with other characters, but I haven’t seen it so far. Even if he does, it’s still a pretty obvious Reylo reference.
Again, this was done with pretty minimal use of cheats, with virtually no interference by me, and with the official Kylo and Rey. The more I play this game, the more I’m convinced that while the programmers didn’t officially enable Rey and Ben to interact, they knew perfectly well that we’d all be using cheats to make it happen, so they programmed in a few treats for us.

Chapter 7: Ben Solo, Hero of the Resistance
Ben and Rey have a little chat about sexual matters, Rey gets a very creepy present from Babu, and Ben pulls out all the stops when it comes to impressing the Resistance.
Preview
And so Ben Solo strutted onto the bridge of the star destroyer, as if he still owned the place, his dream girl on one arm, and a de facto honor guard trailing behind them.
More slack-jawed amazement. A few hands twitched toward side-arms, but once again, not a one had the suicidal nerve to defy him. Ben acknowledged the stares with a slight, cocksure shrug. Several officers gave tremulous salutes.
Just then, a loud, distressed-sounding voice echoed from the corridor. “Where is he?! I’ll believe it when I see it!” A vaguely familiar-looking man appeared in the doorway. He had a sickly, sallow pallor, and a huge, blinking life support belt strapped to his chest.
“General Hux,” Ben named the newcomer. “Aren’t you supposed to be dead?”
“You’re one to talk,” Hux replied dryly, regaining his composure almost instantly. “I’m feeling much better, thanks for asking.”

Chapter 6: The Thirst Intensifies
Ben is voluntold that he’ll be helping to train Finn, Rey has to navigate the resulting interpersonal tension, followed by sexy Reylo times in the forest. Meanwhile, the Force ghostly debate on why TRoS sucked continues.
Preview:
Rey decided that further hints were needed. “I think we’re completely alone.”
His eyes widened slightly at that, and there was that charming, toothy, silly smile. “If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that was an invitation.”
She gave a smile that she hoped struck some sort of balance between demure and inviting. As Ben slowly stalked toward her, she couldn’t help a fleeting recollection of when they first met, in a forest clearing not too different from this one. Except, here, she could see his face, lips still spread in that contagious, adorable smile, and this time, she fell into his arms quite willingly.

Chapter 5: The Thirst Awakens
Rey and Ben both have to wrestle with their grandaddy issues, and Rey later discovers that her dark shadow on the Death Star was just a metaphor for the “dangers” of female sexual empowerment.
Preview:
Snuggling against his shoulder, Rey again began scheming for how she could tactfully contrive to touch his package, this time actually asking herself why she needed to pretend it was an accident. But Rey had absorbed the same cultural messaging that most human females did. Good girls did not touch penises. Perhaps, if the penis’s owner was nice enough to said good girl, she might allow herself to be touched by the penis, but a good girl did not initiate such interactions. Even though Rey intellectually knew that it was gender-biased nonsense, the notion was a little too internalized to shake easily.
For a moment, she envisioned a version of herself without such reservations. A Rey that took whatever she wanted, unbound by sexist bantha shit. And she realized that she had met such a person....

Preview of Chapter Five
“Just go,“ Ben said, making free to give Rey a little shove, his hand on the small of her back. He could feel the curve of her spine, the echo of her skin’s warmth. The torso feelings blazed up again, now neither warm nor cool. Hot. Hungry. Like there was a gravity well in his gut, longing to pull her in.
His mind wandered to that thought. Of pulling her to him. And all the things they could do with such proximity. He willfully snapped himself out of it, when he felt his body responding to the idea. Both that weird chest feeling, and a certain other body part.
“Who’s the kid?” Ben heard Captain Calrissian ask.
“Him?” Solo gestured dismissively at Ben. “No one. Indenture we randomly picked up to move cargo.”
The other captain was looking at Ben intently. “Have we met?” he inquired, eyes narrowed.
“I doubt it,” Ben replied.
The other captain continued looking for several seconds, and then shook his head. “Something familiar about your face,” he commented, and then went back to chatting with Solo.

Take My Damn Hand, Chapter 4
https://archiveofourown.org/works/22635688/chapters/57417277
Chapter 4: A Well Deserved Tongue Lashing
Preview:
Ben was unable to meet her eyes. “I understand,” he said in a pitiful whisper, hoping that would keep his voice from cracking. His dearest dreams were dying before his eyes, and because of his own idiocy, as always. He was about ready to fly into the Maw and die. But so powerful was his shame, and so powerful was his love, that he couldn’t bring himself to do anything but agree with her. “One word from you, and I’ll never -”
Rey cut him off. “No, no, no !” she actually shouted at him, obviously frustrated. “That wasn’t what I meant at all! Not the reason I can’t - you got me sidetracked!” She paused, gathering her bearings. “What I was trying to say, was that men think that young women are incapable of knowing what they’re doing. And if I tell Finn and Poe that we’re together, that will call everything else I say into question, including your redemption! They’ll automatically assume that I’m just blinded by infatuation or -”
“Or what?” Ben asked eagerly, cautiously optimistic that she didn’t actually hate him after all.
Rey flushed.
“Or what?” he persisted.
“Or some sort of,” she paused, her lip awkwardly between her teeth. “Weird bad-boy fetish!” Rey finally burst out.

New Chapter for Take My Damn Hand!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/22635688/chapters/55148200
Chapter 3: Hello. Ben Solo here.... Anyway, I’m Good Now
Preview....
Meanwhile, Maz was still talking. “...when you combine psychic child abuse, several tragic misunderstandings, a genetic predisposition toward being a hot mess, and a war, you get one hell of a monster. But a monster is a living being. And by definition, living beings grow and change." She paused again. "And you don’t know what Leia did, at the end do you?”
And so, Maz told them that too.
Unfortunately, dear reader, the explanation of what exactly Leia died for cannot be relayed to you at this time, as it continues to baffle me. Died to save her son? Died to kill him? Both? Who knows. Suffice to say that Maz seemed to know was going on, and she relayed it to our core quartet. You, my dear reader, must imagine that everyone was suitably moved by her sacrifice.

Chapter Two: Salty Bickering

Preview....
"Who are you to lecture me, about taking a new name?!" Rey demanded.
“And look how that fucking turned out!” Ben then resumed ranting about the dysfunctionality of the Skywalker family, and the undesirability of the name. "... And why would you want Luke's name?! He taught you next to nothing! He wasn't even nice to you! If anything, it should have been -"
He stopped short, dark eyes widening. She could feel that he had realized something emotionally salient. She had a feeling she knew what it was, as she'd only just realized it herself. After several seconds of bashful silence, she decided that she would have to be the one to articulate it.
"Maybe it's because I think of YOU as a Skywalker!"
Their eyes met. There was such a softness to his expression, eyes very slightly narrowed, as with a smile, but his lips remained serious, pressed together tightly, as if he were afraid of what he might say.
"Say something," she murmured.
"I don't know - what I'm supposed to say to that."
You’re supposed to ask me to marry you, dumbass, Rey thought inanely.
