It’s scary that you can warp the ending of an entire franchise with enough social media followers. That one carefully concocted headline can mislead an entire fandom and beyond when Reylo is Canon. If words can be twisted, it isn’t hard to bend them. Unfortunately, people out there who dislike events and “pairings” in franchises,…
There is so much information out there, and sometimes it’s really difficult to discern what is the truth and what isn’t.

Epilogue Chapter It was tough escaping from Hux. After Ben killed Snoke, it didn’t take long for Hux to storm in and challenge us to fight. “What have you done?!” he asked, his pale face turning purple. “I did what needed to be done,” Ben said. Hux looked wildly around the room and wiped…
Chapter 20 “It’s Time” His fingers close around mine. My heart leaps as he tugs me closer to him. Wrapping me in an eager embrace, I can feel him trembling against me, his eyes letting out the tears he’s been holding back. This isn’t a good time to tell him that it isn’t what…
Chapter 19 “The Rey to His Sun” The electricity fizzing between our blended lips is greater than I could have ever imagined. The softness of his mouth, the taste of him, the way it felt for his fingers to graze my skin—I’d never felt like bursting before. Not until now. I could explode into a…
Chapter 18 “The Kiss” I look across the room and see Rey struggling on the floor, her back bent slightly. My chest tightens and my legs freeze in place. Guards are surrounding her. I have to do something fast. I quickly finish off the guard I’m fighting and look back at Rey. She’s on her…
Chapter 17 “The Fight” Time stopped. The moment Snoke fell to the floor, I swear time stopped. I fell to the floor with him, no longer held back by his haunting grasp. I turn to see that, yes, Snoke really is dead. Does it all end here? I look to Ben. It’s true. He…

Chapter 16 “The Throne Room” Rey’s body moves in front of me like a wave hitting the shore. It delicately sways, but within it lies intense strength. She’s holding herself upright and completely composed, but I can feel what’s really going on inside her. Fear. Anxiety. It’s overpowering the feelings that were swirling inside…
Chapter 15 “Inside the Elevator” My legs won’t stop shaking. I’ve been waiting for this moment for weeks, but now that it’s finally here I don’t know what to do with myself. To be honest, it’s not really going as I was hoping it would. Ben is turning Luke’s lightsaber—my lightsaber—in his gloved hands. Those…
Chapter Fourteen “Rey’s Entrance” Her hair falls around me in a sky of ribbons. The breaths she takes are in sync with mine, our hearts beating in rhythm. I stroke her jaw with my fingers and cup her face in my hands. My mouth moves along her skin. I whisper to her. “I’ll be there…
Chapter Thirteen “It’s Time” I look at Luke with disdain. I follow him through the rain at a rapid pace and don’t let him off the hook. The crumbled hut sits lifelessly behind me. The hut that had just been cradling such a tender connection—something I had never experienced before. Not like that. Luke quickens…
