reylohalo | Ben Solo Will Return

photo of the front cover of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy by Brigette Knightley. the nose of a black cat is visible in the lower left.

I’ve just finished (devoured) The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy and am blown away. I giggled, chortled, snorted, snickered, and perhaps even sighed with admiration over several particularly lovely turns of phrase. Readers of DMATMOOBIL will recognize certain similarities, most notably the Highly Competent (and thus Deservedly Arrogant) main characters; the unparalleled banter between the Dashing Dastard, who prides himself on his excellence in Skullduggery and Daring Deeds while utterly unencumbered by morals, and the Paragon of Healing who wields scalpel, magical seith, and her sharp tongue with equally incisive brilliance. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find these familiarly snarky Persons—pardon me, Protagonists—in a story and world full of new beats, new characters (including several unforgettable capital-C Characters), and a new setting much more interesting and intelligently developed than a certain Other-Which-Shall-Not-Be-Named. (I do have a soft spot for an alternate-history magical UK setting and etymology nerdiness; the combination of these elements immediately earned my undying appreciation.) (Also, though the writing never bludgeons you over the head—or worse, the back of the neck—with this fact, nearly everyone is queer.) I’m eagerly (impatiently, imploringly) awaiting the conclusion of the duology, and will undoubtedly be rereading Irresistible Urge for another round of Knightly’s Fortified Enemies-to-Lovers (a trademark combination of cheeky banter, unforgettable characters, lush environmental descriptions, twisty intrigue, and the potential to reduce the reader to a gasping pile of giggles).

as promised, a longer (and on-brand) review of 'The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy'! (black cat not included in purchases to the best of my knowledge, but ymmv) 🦢🗡️

moodboard for the reylo fanfic "moral ascendancy" in black, yellow, and orange tones. the large left picture is of a fire with tall flames. the four pictures down the right hand side are a close up of Rey, sabacc cards and credits, a lightsaber hilt, and a close up of Kylo Ren. text on the top left reads: "Aren't you tired of the galaxy forcing you to your knees? We could make it kneel for us."

UPDATE: MORAL ASCENDANCY | E | 29/50

“You showed us your little game, scavenger,” says Cardo. “Now it’s time for one of ours. Someone asks a question—no topic’s off-limits. You answer truthfully, or you drink.”

Word. I used to need more of it then midlife hormones got me all wonky 🤡 and still learning to set limits with myself when not feeling tired but needing it anyway 🥴 but you are so correct, rest is so necessary and must be closely guarded! Hope your recovery is going well ❤️❤️

So wise 🙏

8.5 & 9 hrs; did a bit more around his left eye & then detailed his mouth & started in on some moles. increasingly obvious I should just go back & get the skin details done now so I can do them as a go when I get to his chin/neck

Ohh how many times I’ve been there 😂 hell I’m there right now it’s midnight and I’ve got a ton of 💩 to do tomorrow. Hope you get some rest or at the very least enjoy your hyperfixation! They can be fun 😂 what game is it?

I loooove using her in fics

The lights of this interrogation room are harsh, the air poorly ventilated and yet nothing seems to bother this man.

Idly stretching out his hand to check his manicure, he yawns, stretches like the cat he's rumoured to be.

Omg…could I actually find enough free time and brainpower to finally get my #Clydephee 1970s biker AU going? @kyloremus.bsky.social made me some gorgeous manips a year ago that I still haven’t debuted because of procrastination 🤡 #clydephee5eva

A collage graphic featuring: an image of Adam Driver sitting down in a fancy suit looking like Clyde with shoulder length hair and goatee, looking to his left; an image of Daisy Ridley sitting at a table in a garden, smiling; the text “March 24, 2026” over a green background; a green cake with white icing hearts that says “Happy 5th Anniversary”; the text “Clydephee5eva anniversary event” over a green background; a card made from wood that says “Wood you believe it’s been 5 years! Happy anniversary!”; a glass and metal ring box with two rings on a bed of moss; an edit of Clyde holding Phee up in his arms, her hands around his shoulders, her feet kicking up in the air (by amp/kyloremus)

Mark your calendars for May 24, 2026:

The Clydephee 5th Anniversary Event #ClydePhee5eva is coming!

The first official pairing of Clyde and Ophelia occurred in the summer of 2021, and we are so excited to celebrate the 5th anniversary of this ship. Please find more info about this event below:

/ murder (Palps)

It’s the blood Rey finds hardest to process.

An old man’s body—her grandfather, her mind adds, Grandfather—lies nearby, the pool of blood surrounding him since gone tacky at the edges.

“It’s okay, sweetheart,” Ben tells her, voice gentle as he takes the axe from her hand.

Something I really love about Rey in the Sequel Trilogy is that, having grown up on Jakku, she's always getting a kick out of and appreciating the beauty of the different planets, biomes, and cultures she encounters during her travels.

Hi does anyone know the author/name of the #reylo text fic where Rey & Ben have split & Baz dates Ben - she works with Rey in a coffee shop & Rey joins a dating app & Ben gets jealous ? I tried WhatReyloFic on The bird but had nothing. #AdamDriver
Cheers my fellow Reylo dears.
