Really hoping the next chapter comes out soon. This has healed my shattered heart more than you can imagine. And this is absolutely cannon and I know I'll receive no push-back against that statement here. This is how it really should have been. You are an amazing writer and I hope you know how many lives you've touched around you by the beauty of your stories. This fanfic is phenomenal. I don't know if I prefer this fanfic over Hand of Fate, though. That fanfic is a legendary masterpiece in every way. Healed my heart after the ending of another reylo fanfic named "The Space Between Stars". It's SO good, you should check it out. I am really, REALLY hoping that Hand of Fate will have SOMETHING added onto to it. It holds such a perfect place in my heart. A few suggestions would be: A pregnancy reveal (To Ben and the family, with only Quinn knowing. Because he's totally gonna plan it? *WINK WINK* He's so much like Fraunk from Father of The Bride XD)? Maybe a honeymoon? Dramatic assasination attempt on Rey while she's pregnant and she almost dies before being able to tell Ben the news that he'd be a dad? I know these are all a bit cliche, but I know that if you do add something, it'll be perfect, cliche or not.

New reader here. Very interesting concept. I can’t wait to see how it ends.

I cannot wait for your next update. Hope your move and settling in is going well. Stay well.

Firstly, I’m sorry for your loss and the stress of moving and being a healthcare worker during this pandemic when no one seems to take this virus seriously. I’m glad you have writing as a soothing outlet and make it a priority for your heath, both mental and emotional. I’ll over share that I have depression so I deeply appreciate your self care in the midst of life. From one woman and mom to another: good on you.

Now, on to platitudes.

I stayed up until 4am reading Hand of Fate and loved it. Then I see in your note there’s ANOTHER Reylo (really Bey but the other pseudo word is much better) story after the excruciating end of TROS. I just watched the movie a few days ago because I knew I would be deeply melancholic. Then I started this.

I really like your writing style: descriptive without prattling on a la Hemingway, tender but not sappy, believable choices so no one feels out of character, titillating sex that isn’t eye rolling to the point of wondering if an author has ever been intimate. It’s fantastic to read good fanfiction and extra fantastic to read good erotic fanfiction, especially as a woman.

Thank you for updating regularly—as you know, it’s awful to invest in an abandoned story, and I have no fear that will happen here. I’m ignoring my own rule of never starting an unfinished story.

Be encouraged, I’m positive there are many readers loving this who are not commenting. I’m typically one of them but reading how much feedback supports you I will not be silent anymore.

This. Is. A. Fucking. Fabulous. Story.

And if you need a beta reader please keep this random internet stranger in mind.

Thanks, Rebecca

P.S. I would love to see a chapter centering on Finn, Rose, and/or Poe. Their feelings and perceptions of all this crazy Force shit. Trying to reconcile the shift from Kyle Ren to Ben Solo and all the suffering he caused. Processing Rey embracing the Dark Side then turning from it.

Everytime I read this story I love it more. I cannot wait for your next update.

hey, i have been reading a lot of star wars fanfics, but this is the best one i have encountered with, as a story after TROS. it is simply amazing and beautiful. i hope you are doing okay as healthworker in this times. :)

Thank you for such an amazing story! I’ve been reading it to get a little Escape to a galaxy far far away every day during this period of isolation. Can’t wait to hear what’s next!
Hope all is well with you and all the best wishes during this crazy time

I really do want to say - I'm really proud of you for your writing and the updates throughout hard times. Yes, you're an adult, and I'm not your mom, but still. It deserves some recognition, ya know?
This chapter...you can SMELL the sexual tension. Next or the chapter after is going to be vEry saucy and you had better not...leave anything out...o.o
Anyway I hope your family is okay and that your move goes well :) I am very sorry about your grandpa..especially the funeral bit. I wish this could all be over. I hope he lived a good life. Whether the next update is in a week or ten, I will be here as your #1 fan!

I couldn't love this more! You truly have a fantastic vision...JJ Abrams should take note and make an alternate ending/ epilogue off of this! Your pace, tone, and overall story arc is just fantastic, I couldn't put it down this week! And also - coming from a fellow healthcare worker in the thick of it here in Boston, I don't know how you kept it up with writing. Cannot wait to see whats next from you! :)

(Huge smiles) ️ Sooo good. Now they can kick booty and then get some.

Nice, I love a good fight scene! I like how they put Malak back into the In-Between but I wouldn’t have been against it if they just killed him. Just sayin...
Really looking forward to how Rey and Ben get back with the rest of the gang and for their ‘moment’ together.
KEEP GOING!

Awsome chapter!

Reading your story update was like Christmas morning spent with all my favorite family members - I LOVE THIS STORY. I cannot tell you how I have awaited to see this story continue. Thank you for this update - you really are a magnificent story teller! I am so deeply sorry for the loss of grandfather and the stress of your move. Please take good care of yourself.

Love it! Thank you!

I am SO happy this story is back! My face literally lit up in a smile when I got the notification in my email. But I'm also so sorry to hear about your grandfather. My great uncle passed away a couple of days after Mothers' day. I'm also moving haha. It feels like a lot of authors are moving at the same time lol. But I hope your grandfather had a peaceful passing and that know that my prayers are with you and your family. As for the story, it was beautiful as always. These two are finally together again in the real world, and I loved your description of balance. I also appreciated that you didn't spend too much time on Malak as I feel that he's not the focus, the dyad is obviously. Anyway, thank you so much for this chapter, and please don't feel pressured to take time off. Take as much time as you need to focus on your move. My condolences again for your grandfather. I hope you and your family are doing well!
