wip / #AdamDriver / #reyloww

a screenshot of my digital workspace, with my reference of Adam Driver at the US Open on the left and my canvas on the right. There's a cyan colored grid over each of them, which is how I keep track of what goes where as I freehand paint. I've got a basic gradient background and have roughed everything in, and am in the process of smoothing all those patchy, zombie-esque, tones out. His hair is pretty much done, and most of his face is smooth. His hand is still a mess, and so is his neck and his clothes, and he has no eyes or teeth but I do have the basics of his glasses frames done.

dare I say that this coming chapter of moral ascendancy is my favourite thus far? expect tough conversations and fracturing walls against a surprisingly intimate backdrop... 🤭

#reyloww

A stock image of a middle eastern desert town, all sand and sandstone and rectangular buildings layered on top of one another.

“How do you know all this?” Rey asks after another minute of tinkering, the vibrant clamor surrounding them easing a little of the fraught energy. “Isn’t fixing starfighters a little below your station?”

“I wanted to be a pilot. When I was a child.”

Her hands still. She glances up in confusion. “What?”

Kylo responds in the deadpan she now recognizes as his humor, desert-dry and growing just as familiar. “You really thought my childhood dream was to become a ‘galactic dictator,’ as some refer to me?”

“I don’t know,” she says, trying to ease her voice into a similar tone. Imagining the dark thunderstorm of a man sitting opposite her as a child with normal aspirations is bizarre, almost laughable, until she guesses their source.

Her heart twists—if not for the dictator, then for the lost boy he once was.

And seeing him in nondescript clothing against the market’s backdrop, hands steepled loosely amid the tools and spare parts atop their table, she’s never been able to picture Ben Solo so well.

It's not the most exciting snippet to share, but I'm working on edits for the next chapter of seeing you tonight, a hockey textfic

Rey, Ben, and all of the Sabres fans are experiencing a range of emotions as the playoffs near, and the media can't stop talking about how sloppy Ben's play is

Sneak peek at Ch 12 of Aisle Twelve:

Rey, having had a midnight snack, (Ben, it's Ben... he's the snack 😁) now wants breakfast, lunch, dinner and afternoon tea all at once. (Who can blame her?)

However, Ben is still determined to love first, feed second.

they’re switches, your honor #reyloww

Rey stuffs her discarded smallclothes in his mouth—Kylo is likely to be loud, and she would prefer to be able to look their guards in the eye tomorrow morning, for once.

His eyes flash in indignation, like flames glinting off the blade of a sword.

She raises an eyebrow in challenge. Can you take it?

His jaw works, cheeks hollowing, and she can guess what he’s doing: sucking on the fabric to draw out the taste of her. Even bound and effectively gagged, Kylo can give her a look that’s hotter than the warmth of the crackling hearthfire. I’ll take everything you have to give me.
