Best of Reylo: Best Subplot
Reylo Fics Only
Fics must be well-written, well plotted and with solid characterizations and arcs.
Reylo Fics that have the best subplots. Meaning the secondary, non-Reylo arc (adventure arc, fantasy arc, horror arc, etc).
Fics may be set in Canonverse or any AU (Modern, Historical, etc).

Summary
In the middle of the blue ocean, on an island that plays havoc with her memories, Rey finds herself traveling down an ancient pilgrims' road alongside a person who calls himself Ben Solo. There is an intense familiarity between her and Ben, one that suggests the most intimate knowledge of one another, although why, they aren't quite sure.
A sequel to the fic "Behind the Storm"

Bookmarker's Notes
Post-TFA, Ben/Kylo and Rey each have a mission … if only they could remember what it is … and who they are. They conclude through a “feeling” that somehow they must know each other and should join together on their adventure … whatever it is. I love these canonverse amnesia trope fics that explore who these two believe they would be if the weight their identities carry was cast aside. (Heed my warnings about the third in this series as noted above in the Behind the Storm entry).

Summary
{Act II}
You can't be on the run without someone looking for you. Unfortunately the further Rey and Kylo Ren get from one another, the closer their pursuers get to them both. Maybe they'll go further if they learn to go together.

Summary
{Act I}
No matter how much pain they cause each other, something keeps pulling them back to one another. Maybe they choose not to explore why, only the ways in which they're brought together. And maybe they both look forward to falling into step again.

Bookmarker's Notes
Post-TFA, Ben/Kylo and Rey have had enough of their respective sides and go AWOL. Serendipitously they run into each other accidentally … and then keep on running (in)to each other not so accidentally. This is a beautifully written series, so beautifully written that I am recommending giving it a try even though it is not only incomplete, it’s orphaned. It appears to have been planned in five parts, but only the first two fics are complete and the third 5/6 completed. However, even in its incompletion, it explores abandonment issues to desperate longing with a well contrived subplot in what feels a very natural progression for these two. It also features a very apt characterization of Rey, even more so than she’s depicted on screen - I’m not sure how to convey it, but this portrayal of Rey makes “sense” to me. She’s scrappy and always in a survivalist mode, socially awkward and just as lonely in a room full of people, but never lonely with Kylo/Ben. At any rate, it won’t be often that I recommend an incomplete, orphaned series, but with two completed fics and an almost completed third fic, there is enough here to enjoy.
