    Summary

    Ben finds a portrait of himself in the dumpster outside of his building. Curious about the mystery of its creator, he's more consumed with solving the tension between he and his neighbor, Rey.

    It’s his face.

    It’s slightly crumpled and the light is highlighting the ridges from brown, recycled paper, but it’s his face.

    He’d know it anywhere, or at least that’s what anyone would say when they see the same thing in the mirror everyday, but here it’s on paper and currently lining the dumpster outside of his apartment building on Orchard and Main, where one of the few alleyways left in the purge of the old system has him standing at the side of the building, two large bags in hand and staring at his face on brown paper.

    Summary

    Rey needs something to keep her students busy. Her roommate’s boyfriend has “got a guy”. Only problem is the “guy” is the reclusive son of the local Gator King. Desperate place, desperate times, she guesses.

    ...

    Inspired by that gator AD photo and other Twitter shenanigans. I took a summer fever dream of mud, denim, and swamp gas and lit it up like an illegal firework.

    There are texts. There are photos. There are adorable manips. There are songs. It's a full...experience...

    (This is now complete here and on Twitter and you can find it here or through the hashtag #GatorPrince.)

    Summary

    Rey can't stand the surly, brooding, insufferably hot Ben Organa-Solo, but unfortunately they're the honorary aunt and uncle to the same cute kid.

    Ben quit his awful job at First Order Finance, but unfortunately Rey still thinks he's an asshole and only tolerates him for the sake of their mutual friends and family.

    A weekend camping trip with the Damerons is a horny disaster in the making.

    Summary

    Rey volunteers at a rehabilitation facility to read to the blind. She’s loved reading and books for longer than she can remember. She finds that she loves reading to others even more so. However, she’s suddenly thrown into the headspace of trauma patient Ben Solo, who has a knack for upending everything she thinks she knows about books and the power of the written word…as well as a few other things.

     

    Rey volunteers to read to blind trauma patient Ben Solo. The ride is angsty, poetic, and filled with literary favorites like Dracula and Pride and Prejudice…and a whole bunch of other metaphors for falling in love.
