“sat out” You mean young people who work shit jobs with shit hours and shit benefits couldn’t get out of work to go vote in the same numbers as the retired crowd? 6 hours to vote at colleges in Texas yesterday in the middle of midterms yeah shocking…

1) check your registration.

2) check your polling place.

3) your job must allow you time off to vote.

4) if the only time you can vote is during a class, talk to the teacher in advance. I was marked present for a class I didn’t attend when Obama was running for the first time, on the condition that I take a friend with me to the polls (I took two).

5) take a friend. Take two friends. Take THREE friends. If you have a car, offer to take anyone who needs to vote.

6) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR ID. This is necessary. Your voter registration card is best, but be sure your state doesn’t also require photo ID. You can find this on Google by searching “[your state] voting requirements”.

7) the earlier you go, the better. For Obama 2012 I got my ass up at 6:30am and I was in line at 7:30. I was done and back out the door by 7:55, and the only reason it took that long was an old lady a few people in front of me took a spill.

8) DO NOT WEAR OR CARRY ANY CAMPAIGN SWAG OR MERCH, NOT EVEN JOKE MERCH LIKE “BENDER FOR PRESIDENT” OR “MAKE RACISTS AFRAID AGAIN.” You will be turned away at the polls for campaigning at a polling place. Leave it at home or in your car.

9) Your polling place must make accommodations for disabilities and language barrier—it’s the law. (Yes, your really old great-aunt who can’t read can vote. Help her learn about the candidates and take her to the polls.) If you are a citizen or legal permanent resident, you can vote.

EN ESPAÑOL: su lugar de votación debe Ud. asiste si necesita ayuda con invalideces o lengua; es la ley. (Sí, su familia que no pueden leer se pueden votar. Se asisten con la información de votar, y se tomarlos a votar.) Si está una residente permanente, o un ciudadano de Los EEUU, puede votar. ¡En español tambien!

10) Double-check all sources—yes, including this one. The information I’m giving you is as someone who’s been able to vote for 14 years and has been volunteering for 16–half my life. But while I know you can trust me, you don’t know me. CHECK. SOURCES. Every time you don’t, a kitten cries. Be nice to the kittens. Check your sources.

Authors have now been revealed for For one is love and both are one in love!

Over 170 fics were posted to our Exchange this month and we are so excited to finally share the authors with you!  Thank you so much to all of the writers who wrote for this event!  

Gift Fic Master Post Part Two:

  • In Other Words, Hold My Hand by Cwenphy for MBlair
  • Stargazing and waltzing on the lake.
  • Meet Me in the Meadow by Miranda13 for MeadowHayle
  • Ben was not the typical Alpha. Rey was not the typical Omega. Utterly indifferent to other people, only in their fantasies or dreams would they experience desire. After many years of loneliness, they meet in a support group for struggling demi-humans, and everything changes. Ben and Rey embark together on a healing journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. Maybe, they don’t need to be alone, anymore. Maybe, they were never alone, to begin with.
  • The Rise of Ren by Ayrith for Merixcil
  • For the last seat in the Knights of Ren, there are two candidates. The first, a powerful scion of a great Force legacy, formally trained by the last Jedi. The second, a force sensitive urchin with no past, nurtured by the cut-throat criminal underworld. Kylo or Kira. There can only be one.
  • Legion by Tiara_of_Sapphires for midwinterspring
  • The war was over. Across the galaxy, hundreds called out in one voice: “I need a teacher.” A fic for midwinterspring for the RFFA Valentine’s Day 2020 Exchange Prompt: Rey and Ben train new Force users and fix things
  • All That Glitters by PalenDrome for MintyCel
  • The Kingdom of Exegol holds the key to Kylo’s future. All he needs to do is to get past the omega guarding it.
  • Thaw My Frozen Heart by DarkSideOfMe for Miranda13
  • “A bounty hunter decides that the former Supreme Leader would make an excellent prize and manages to get the jump on Ben while he is on a mission for the Resistance, encasing him in carbonite. Rey is quick to mount a solo rescue mission and helps Ben recover from the hibernation sickness when she eventually gets him back.“ - Reylo-Prompts
  • Good Boy by rissanox for MissCoppelia
  • Ben adopts a dog who needs some training. Thankfully, he gets help (and a little bit more) from Rey, a dog trainer.
  • the world’s not perfect but by aNerdObsessed for misszeldasayre
  • What would happen in a galaxy where the New Republic never got off the ground and the First Order choked before it started? Maybe a scavenger girl would become a foundling under the care of a Mandalorian bounty hunter.  Maybe a troubled child would shake off a burdensome legacy to follow his father’s less-than-lawful profession. Maybe a cocky flyboy would find himself using his charm to win gigs delivering spice for the syndicates. Maybe a mechanically-minded girl would start taking off-the-books jobs for the occasional criminal. Maybe a boy with too many questions would leave his parents to learn about this thing called the Force. Turns out the galaxy is a lawless place with every sentient for themselves.
  • like roses and clover by notkellymarie for mrstater
  • ” There is no comfortable position. No matter how he laid down on his cot, his bones feel brittle, his skin itching all over with the sensation of a thousand ants crawling all over his body. His stomach swirls like a maelstrom, and he blames it on the caf he had in order to stay awake through one of his lessons. Pathetic. You can’t even sleep right. He promises to skip the caf the next day, and his consciousness floats on the surface even as he wishes to be pulled under.“ – Ben Solo has never had a single good night’s sleep in his life. Rey of Jakku never wanted one. The Battle of Exegol rang and wants to know if this is still the case.
  • It never gets easier, you just get better.  by PoliticalPadmé for MyJediLife
  • Ben is an addict working through his pain. Rey is a counselor assigned to his care. They weren’t supposed to fall in love.
  • Dreamscape by cuddlesome for Nebulous Bounds (RainonyourBack)
  • Kylo mostly worsens and occasionally betters Rey’s visions while she sleeps.
  • Why we can’t be by MedowHayle for newseptembers
  • When old Maz forsaw a dyad, Rey never thought it would be a soulmate bond between her and the First Order coven member Kylo Ren. Desperately trying to undo her connection to the enemy, she seeks out ancient texts and meets Ben, a bookshop owner and crafter, who seems to catch her attention every time they meet.
  • Beside the Lake by elegygoldsmith for Ngoc12thefangirl
  • “Ben…” It’s half groan, half laugh, all ache — and he wants to reach out to her but he doesn’t trust himself to stop at only holding her hand. Rey’s gaze softens, and that grief she’s been feeling comes roiling out of her like a thunderstorm. It’s too much for him to take. “Tell me.” “I want kids.” She says the words so softly that he might not have known what she was saying if he hadn’t seen her lips moving and heard the syllables echoing in his mind. “Oh.” It’s stupid, but he doesn’t know what else to say. “I mean…” She fumbles again, but this time she doesn’t even bother finishing in words. I want kids now. A short, smutty one-shot in which Ben and Rey grapple with the next step in their life together.
  • You Need A Teacher by andabatae for ninecrimes
  • After the events of TROS, Rey returns to Ahch-To… and a healed Ben Solo. There, she plans to consummate their relationship. Too bad she has no idea what she’s doing…. Luckily, Ben is happy to teach her everything he knows. —– “Okay.” Rey took a deep breath, preparing herself for the strange, mortifying experience to come. “So what do I do?” “Well,” he said, “first you let me kiss you some more. Then, when you’re ready, you take your clothes off. Then you sit on my face.” “Just like that?” “Just like that.”
  • Grey Skies Ahead by Lightningpelt for NiriKeehan
  • She took his hand—not in the name of the Light, or the Dark. They were a dyad, the embodiment of balance—an Alliance of Grey.
  • Ever as before and ever just as sure as the sun will rise by Cairdiuil_Paiste for OccasionallyCreative
  • The war is over. On a peaceful estate in Naboo’s Lake Country, Rey and Ben prepare for their wedding and think of how they got here. Using lyrics of title song of ‘Beauty and the Beast’.
  • swish of the bumblebee by qotsisajakk for OptimisticBeth
  • She should get the sand - and gravel, and rocks - and run all the way home and make things right for him. Although, the fish had gotten her into this mess in the first place, however inadvertently, so maybe she should move him to Finn’s room where she wouldn’t have to look at his little fins swishing away ever again, reminding her of- Rey’s betta fish needs an upgrade in living conditions. When she posts a question asking for help, she gets a little more than she bargained for.
  • Dissolver of Sugar by Apricot for optimus_pam
  • “Rey…what could anyone do, to make up for what Kylo Ren did?” Or: Redemption isn’t supposed to be easy. A TROS fix-it fic, of sorts.
  • Delirium by TearoomSaloon for PalenDrome (nerdherderette)
  • That was the trouble with these things, wasn’t it? Every once in a while the drugs backfired and they both got a dose of what was really, probably, very potent pheromones. Excerpt: He heard the edge of anger in her voice, the snarl she tried so desperately to conceal. The powder was getting to her. "You’re jealous, aren’t you?” “No!” “You are.” Against his better judgement, he stalked to her, backing her to the wall. “You can’t stand the fact that you’re not my first partner.” “I’m not your partner!” He leaned in, lips almost to her ear. “You want to be though, don’t you?” She barreled into him with a scream, head connecting with his chest as she tackled him to the floor. Faster than he could react, she had his arms pinned over his head, knees firmly pressing into his breastbone. “I don’t want to be anything to you. Not your friend, not your ally, and especially not your lover.”
  • Renewed by DrPearlGatsby for patig_00
  • The world between worlds is neither hot nor cold. So when Ben feels his arms break into gooseflesh, when his shoulder aches with not a remembrance but an actual twinge of pain, when he tries to rouse himself from meditation and realizes that he’s fighting the need to fall back asleep, he opens his eyes—in a room on the Millennium Falcon. [[Something in the Force allows Ben Solo to be resurrected on the Millenium Falcon during a little Resistance mission. Expected hilarity ensues. Angst WITH A HAPPY ENDING.]]
  •  a million miles (cross the ocean)  by bittersnake for persimonne
  • in which the Force tries to pay back some of the debt it owes the Skywalkers.
  • All that’s best of dark and bright by ArdeaJestin for persopilliankore
  • Rey had big plans for Valentine’s Day: laundry, errands, and an evening of fantasizing over her impossibly sexy building manager, Ben Solo. That was before she found an anonymous love poem in her mailbox.
  • Wherever There is You, I Will be There Too by optimus_pam for politicalmamaduck
  • According to Greek mythology, Tartarus is the deep abyss used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked. Rey journeys there in search of a lost soul.
  • Laid To Rest by mrstater for PoliticalPadmé (magnetgirl)
  • Ben wants to show Rey the galaxy, to see it with her. First, they have business on Naboo.
  • What Was Lost Is Now Found by Ceallaigh for punkeraa
  • “Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.” The Parable of the Prodigal Son, New International Version
  • Be With Me by tmwillson3 for qotsisajakk
  • TROS Fix-it. When Rey asks the Jedi of the past to be with her, the bond she shares with Kylo Ren also opens. He is forced to come to terms with his growing feelings for her, and together, they take down the greatest evil, those words continue to bring them together.
  • Always in Motion by maq_moon for QueenOfCarrotFlowers
  • Dr. Rey Jackson, archaeologist, is mistaken for a celebrity and given an upgrade to Business Class on her incredibly long flight. Unfortunately, she’s been seated next to the douchebag who’s been pestering her for the last two hours. More unfortunately, she finds a letter in her carry-on bag telling her that their plane is about to go down. The worst part? The letter was written by Luke Skywalker, a man who has been dead for years.
  • we might be the outsiders by UndergroundValentine for radioactivesaltghoul
  • As though, in a blink, the cavern becomes light, and he sees the pale cream and gold shimmer of the creature, with a dark brown pattern across the head and hood.
  • Between the Sun and the Moon by radioactivesaltghoul for redbelles
  • The Force demands that Rey and Ben pay a price for the power they gained in their preparation to take down Palpatine, but they don’t learn what they paid until it disturbs the peaceful life they’re trying to build together after the war is over.
  • Starless Sky, Black by dustoftheancients for RedPaladin465
  • “Why did you change your mind?” It takes a long time for her to answer. “I didn’t want to be alone.”
  • The Girl From The Tower by itsnotillegal for ReyloBrit
  • Prompt: “Quiet and obedient Rey lives a godly life with her grandfather, until the family hire a new gardener Ben, a mysterious and deeply attractive man. Sparks fly between the two.”
  • The Falcon and the Wolf by ClockworkCrow for reylotrash711
  • On the fifth anniversary of the destruction of Starkiller Base the Senate is throwing a masked ball and invited members of the old Resistance. Still trying to rehabilitate his image, Senator Ben Solo has no choice but to attend. Written to fulfill this prompt: Ben and Rey dance at a masked ball, unaware of who they are dancing with. Until the masks are taken off at midnight. Romance and Sexual Tension ensue, will they be able to refrain their urges? Hell no. But I also mixed in a healthy dose of this prompt as well: Prompt 2 - What if Ben was unable to bring Rey back and had to call on the help of the Skywalkers that came before him? Is he ready to pay the price of losing his force sensitivity for the women he loves?
  • and we’ll live a long life by LRRH17 for ReyloTrashCompactor (NextToSomething)
  • When Rey heals him on Kef Bir, Ben has a vision. He and Rey must work together to prevent it from coming true.
  • Found Belonging by apisa_b for rissanox

  • Loathe Thy Neighbor by ReyloTrashCompactor for SaintHeretical
  • Rey’s neighbor is the worst. He listens to terrible music, he’s impolitely large, and he smells incredible. She hates almost everything about him. Especially the smelling good bit.
  • Can You Feel The Love Tonight? By ElleRen31 for shiiera
  • Ben Solo travels to Takodana National Park in South Africa on a research mission where he meets fellow researcher, Rey. While they might get along as well as lions and hyenas at first, perhaps they have more in common with each other than they think.
  • He’s Just Not That Into You® Scent by SaintHeretical for shipperofdarkness
  • Rey is a young and single Omega who hasn’t had a lot of luck so far finding a nice Beta guy who isn’t a total flake. They say they’ve had a great time with her, but seem to have a difficult time with calling her back. Ben is an Alpha bartender who is tired of hearing about her dating difficulties, and is ready to drop some truth bombs. An ABO He’s Just Not That Into You AU
  • The Purest Love by MyJediLife for six4au
  • When a deeply scarred and traumatized Ben Solo is placed in a program to try and pair him with a canine helper, he finds that he gets more than he ever imagined with the therapist assigned to him.
  • The Monster in Skywalker Manner by datswatutink for solikerez
  • Rey marches up the walk, takes hold of the door knocker, and bangs it sharply three times. Nothing. She rattles the door handle. Nothing. Absurdly, she checks the address (is this the right creepy-and-probably-abandoned-Skywalker-Manner on Alderaan street?). It is. -Or- Rey takes a shady job to clean the old Skywalker Manner and discovers that there’s something much scarier than dust and spiderwebs living there. But maybe that’s not the whole story, because what kind of monster loves roses and books?
  • Stargazing by FangirlintheForest for SpaceWaffleHouseTM
  • “I wish they would go blind, stop whispering: he’s lying, he’ll leave. I hate that they know what I don’t want to hear. Their poison passes my lips, harmless. Call me Faith, not Medusa, no one need become stone.”
  • through the darkness to the dawn  by redbelles for starfleetjedi
  • She couldn’t breathe. Spots danced in her vision, black as the nothingness yawning behind her breastbone. Ben was gone. No. The plea tore out of her, wild and broken, racing through the vastness of the Force, past stars and planets and distant moons to the far edges of the universe. There was only silence. She tried again. Ben. Ben, please. Answer me. Or: Rey, after.
  • Tabula Rasa by Chthonia for suchlostcreatures (godfmischief)
  • Ben survives the battle on Exegol. That was the easy part.
  • Intro to Love by abbytheatre08 for TheStolenQuill
  • Rey and Ben are music students, put together to work on a final that, surprise isn’t in a music class. They hadn’t really known each other much before that but will that change as they keep working together?
  • I met you once — ( In a dream ) by persopilliankore for thewayofthetrashcompactor (BriarLily)
  • He sucks in a deep breath and exhales, a pout forming on his plump lips and it’s so distracting the way they- “Just Ben,” He closes his eyes. “see me no more than that, 𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚.” Or Where Ben and Rey are soulmates and Ben is more than meets the eye
  • Supernova by LueurdeLaube for Tiara_of_Sapphires
  • “She loved him so much she was going to smother him with it until there wasn’t a molecule of doubt left in his heart.” After the war Rey and Ben settle into an uneasy life of peace, followed by judgment and resentment. Ben Solo may have decided to remain behind to atone for his sins, but the people won’t forget Kylo Ren so soon.
  • Happy Accident by crossingwinter for tmf
  • A baby. Her baby having a baby. She’d given up dreams of grandchildren when Ben was fourteen, and not even his having a steady girlfriend had let her change her mind about it. “So yeah, we need to talk,” Rey mumbles at last. Ben doesn’t say a word, and Leia can imagine him clearly, sitting there, staring off into space, dazed—like when she’d told Han that she was pregnant.  One fun night at the Yub Nub Club and a little bit of carelessness with the condom… Not that she’d ever tell Ben that he’d been an accident.  He’d guessed it for years, but she’d go to her grave asserting he hadn’t been. “You want to keep it,” Ben says at last—a statement, not a question. — Or: Leia watches her son and his girlfriend prepare to become parents.
  • Crafting A Connection by LostInQueue for tmwillson3
  • Rey and Ben have been friends forever, so much so that Ben never dreamed that it something as small as getting that manager’s position he’d been gunning for would get in the way of it. Now that it has, Rey’s been distant. So… so distant and he has no idea how to get her back. Rey has only been trying to be a good friend and not use him for his status, which means instead of accepting rides from him like she had, she hasn’t. She isn’t trying to push him away but things are different, and he’s difficult now. What on earth can she do about it? Mother nature has something to say about these two, that’s for sure. The snow storm of the year is coming, stranding the two together the Friday before Valentine’s Day weekend to give them the time to work things out.

  • Bend or Break by Biekewieke for tweis24
  • It’s been six months since the Battle of Crait. Both sides of the war have been continuing down their path, both sides struggling with loss. For some, it’s just business. But for others, it’s personal. For Rey of Jakku and Kylo Ren… it most certainly is personal. Once again, the Supreme Leader of the First Order and the Jedi, Hope of the Resistance confront each other and clash. How will they react and what will transpire when Bonds are blocked and unexpected events are thrown their way? Will either of them bend? Or will they break?

  • Osmosis by suchlostcreatures for viajeramyra
  • “I don’t need Ben Solo,” Rey states, rising from the throne. Her steps are slow and deliberate as she stalks towards him. “I need Kylo Ren.” Distantly, she notes the irony. And then she offers him her hand. —— In which Ben doesn’t reach Rey in time. (And the one time he does.)
  • Tell the World I’m Alive by Crysania for VirtualMadness
  • Rey returns to Exegol to retrieve all she has left of Ben Solo: his shirt. But what she finds there isn’t at all what she expected to find. (Title comes from the song Who Will Save You Now by Les Friction. The lyrics are just so Reylo and it’s a beautiful song.)
