History Fanfic / LandscapeWithABlurOfConquerors

* BadassFamily: It's a Skywalker story, duh; their emotional issues are exceeded only by their galaxy-breaking Force powers. Rey's family also more than hold their own, a combination of intelligence, toughness, and supernatural powers making them absolutely a [[JustForPun force]] (heh) to be reckoned with. And the galaxy knows it.

%% * ADateWithRosiePalms: As Rey and Kylo develop feelings for each other, the frustrated desire gets to be too much for Rey at one point. This has interesting side effects due to them being both wildly strong in the Force and able to sense each other.

* TheyDo: Our troubled lovers decide to be a married couple for real and for keeps at the end.

* NotSoDifferent: Rey's brushes with the dark side in times of heated emotion, in which she realises, to her horror, that she is more similar to Kylo than she is comfortable admitting.

%% * {{Adorkable}}:
%% ** Always Ben, and always unintentionally.

!!This Fanfic provides examples of:

-->'''Luke''': Works every time.

->'''Leia''': I order you to protect my son.

->'''Rey''': You are Emperor and I am Empress, and that means we have no more masters.

-->'''Hux''': You're going to break them up? Is this amateur hour?

* {{Adorkable}}: Always Ben, and always unintentionally. Rey has her moments of this as well, such as the time she explodes a cake all over herself.

* AmazonChaser: Ben is absololutely turned on by the fact that Rey can kick anyone's ass, including his own.

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Why, oh why, would anyone in their right mind open Luke Skywalker's cell door?

* MindlinkMates: (''to the tune of Love Shack'') Force bond, baby Foooorce bond! Emphasis on the mating part.

* ParentsWalkInAtTheWorstTime: Ahem. Isolder gets an unwelcome surprise when he goes looking for Rey and Ben in the library.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: RIP [[spoiler:Inkari]], you butt. Kylo doesn't end up following though on all of his threats, thanks to Rey, but whew, that was a close call for [[spoiler:Wodan]].

* InterruptedIntimacy: Six moments they could've kissed, and didn't, during that dang final battle, people. SIX.
* LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone: Hapan tradition calls for witnesses at the consummation of a royal marriage. Kylo and Rey shoot this idea down faster than Han making the Kessel Run, so emphatically that their subjects end up agreeing.

* FoeYay: Even long before they are married, Rey and Kylo can't seem to stop ending up on top of each other.

* BerserkButton: Do. Not. Hurt. Rey. Unless you want the Emperor of the First Order to hunt you down and kill you, destroy your planet, and wipe the memory of your name from the galaxy forever.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: in some ways, Rey feels very much like an outsider in the Hapan Court. And while she does have allies, there are many who make it their mission to keep her feeling that way.
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Rey in danger??? Emperor Ren doesn't care about intergalactic relations and diplomacy right now, he's a got a wife to rescue.

* AmazonChaser: Ben is TOTALLY turned on by the fact that Rey can kick anyone's ass, including his own.

* ArrangedMarriage: The main catalyst of the story. Luckily for Rey and Kylo, MarriageBeforeRomance also ensues.

* BeachKiss: After Kylo realises Rey's feelings for him are real.

* BelligerentSexualTension: Do I want to kiss you or do I want to kick your ass? Ben and Rey oscillate between the two for a long, long time. And it's glorious.

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: Comes with the territory with this romantic pairing! The top M/F pairing on fanfiction website AO3, people LOVE reading about these two working out their issues... especially in each other's arms. This particular story has some very memorable love scenes that are well-known in the fandom.
* TheBigDamnKiss: That. Kiss. On the beach. In the rain. And the wind. With his cape billowing all around them. *swoon*

* BlatantLies: Ben tells Rey they can just have sex with no complications. Suuuuuuure you can Ben.

* CoolOldGuy: Luke, of course. What could be cooler than a wise old mentor who can use the Force? Helps enormously that he is kinder to Rey in this universe as compared to movie canon.
* CoolOldLady: Leia Organa, ladies and gentlemen. Even at her advanced age she is leading the Resistance, as well as scheming for grandkids - with results that surprise both the schemer and the schemed-upon.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: As Rey and Kylo develop feelings for each other, the frustrated desire gets to be too much for Rey at one point. This has interesting side effects due to them being both wildly strong in the Force and able to sense each other.

* ConflictingLoyalty: Ben and Rey both experience this. How do you decide between loyalty to your empire and loyalty to your spouse?

** Hell yes. Rey being heir to one of the most opulent families in the known galaxy and a growing political power player herself, not to mention a Jedi-in-training, she gets as many costume changes as Padme Amidala did in the Prequel Trilogy. Or maybe even more.

* CrazyJealousGuy: Ben does not take kindly to the idea of other people wanting Rey. At the [[spoiler:masquerade]], he gets so jealous he basically drags her to a private room to uh, remind her why he's the one for her.

* DeadpanSnarker: Ben, Rey, Isolder, Ta'a Chume, Luke, and Leia all get their moments of this. Boethiah Ren just lives there permanently.
* DecadentCourt: The court of the Hapes Consortium is brimming with wealth, beauty and extravagance... and is rightly described by Ta'a Chume as a den of vipers.

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Double whammy of this, begun by Rey with a literal punch to [[spoiler:Snoke's]] face, followed by Ben actually [[spoiler:killing him]]!!! For Rey!!!!!!

* DoubleAgent: [[spoiler:Rey]] is this to the First Order. And doesn't enjoy it.
* DysfunctionalFamily: Hoo boy. The Skywalker family are in this, yet again upholding their reputation for leading opposing factions of a galaxy-spanning war. And then there's Rey's family, who may even be worse. Brutal confrontations, spying, betrayal, murder; these guys are the full package.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: And they do! After much ado.

* HotConsort: Both Ben and Rey qualify as this for each other in their respective empires.

* LoveIsAWeakness: Snoke certainly believes so. Let's just say he won't make that mistake again.

* The Mole: [[spoiler:Rey]], again to the First Order, much to her heart's distress.
* MomentKiller: Isolder is good at this, interrupting some highly charged moments between the Imperial couple.

* OneHeadTaller: Ben to Rey. He big boi.

* PapaWolf: Isolder is very protective of Rey, taking Kylo to task for not treating Rey more gently. Kylo also has a moment of this towards his future children, privately vowing that Snoke will never touch them.

* RavenHairIvorySkin: Our favourite sad boi Ben is a perfect specimen. This dude was born equipped for drama.

* ReturningTheWeddingRing: Kylo does this after Rey's Resistance reveal, to show how done he is with her. He gets better, thankfully.

->Hux: You're going to break them up? Is this amateur hour?

* SeductionProofMarriage: Good luck [[spoiler:Cynthisa]], Kylo's a one-woman Emperor.
* ServileSnarker: Boethiah Ren, very much so. Kylo's sassiest knight by a mile.

* ShutUpHannibal: To [[spoiler:Hux]], by Kylo. And man, did he have it coming.
* SilkHidingSteel: Rey and Ta'a Chume, and HOW. Tough ladies in fabulous dresses certainly run in this family. Lairelosse also fits: beautiful fabrics, ruthless tactics.
* TrueLoveIsAKink: Ben certainly gives off this vibe, judging by how deeply he regrets his time with other women before his marriage to Rey.

* TenMinutesInTheCloset: To be exact, Rey thinks it was twelve.

* WasItAllALie: Ben asks this of Rey after discovering she was working with the Resistance all the while they were married and falling in love. Spoiler alert: [[spoiler:it wasn't]].
* YouMustBeCold: When Ben holds Rey at the funeral in the snow.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: Ben and Rey, due to extreme Force powers. Special mention to Rey for throwing tanks at other tanks, and to both Rey & Ben, along with other force users, [[spoiler:destroying the First Order's girnormous mega-weapon]].

* PersonOfMassDestruction: Ben and Rey both, due to extreme Force powers. Special mention to Rey for throwing tanks at other tanks, and to the two of them, along with other force users, [[spoiler:destroying the First Order's girnormous mega-weapon]].

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: the Hapan royals run their queendom with an extremely active iron fist, with several fingers in every conceivable pie. Rey especially, would rather stay up all night drafting proposals to benefit the galaxy rather than let it suffer through her inaction.

%% * BestKnownForTheFanservice: Well..it's a Reylo fanfic, what can one say? And that's why we adore it.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: [[spoiler:Hux]], you bastard. He works to pass those horrible security laws, and he openly turns on Ben after repeatedly trying secretly to have he and Rey killed. WHAT a prick.

* LessonInSophistication: Ta'a Chume and Lairelosse give Rey detailed instruction on how to dress, how to act and how to scheme, as heir to the queendom.

When scavenger-turned-Jedi Rey turns out to be a lost heir to the Hapes Consortium, she must adjust to an entirely new set of circumstances. In an effort to keep the galactic peace, while giving the Resistance time to make their move, this includes the prospect of marriage to her worst enemy, Emperor Kylo Ren of the First Order. It's okay though - they both know they can maintain a businesslike distance....right? As the newlyweds find themselves navigating dangers, plots, and complications from every side, their relationship shifts and changes... and for Rey and Kylo, nothing could be more dangerous than falling in love.

* BecomingTheMask: Rey & Kylo's marriage begins as a reluctant arrangement, with both hiding significant issues from the other, but over the course of the story they fall deeply in love and want it all to be real.

** Kylo Ren has an high amount of extravagant attire as he travels between the Hapes Consortium's spaceship and the First Order's. Being Rey's fiancee also increases that number.

* DecadentCourt: The court of the Hapes Consortium is brimming with wealth, beauty, extravagance.....and is rightly described by Ta'a Chume as a den of vipers.
* DeceptiveLegacy: Ta'a Chume is Rey's grandmother, and despite her hardness, seems to be more ally than enemy, she is family after all. Then Rey finds out [[spoiler:what really happened to Teneniel]]....

* ElevatorGoingDown: Things don't progress as far as they could've, but nonetheless let's just say Ben and Rey made it reeeeeeally uncomfortable for their companions to get in that elevator after they'd been in there alone a while.

* ImprovisedWeapon: Kylo has a smashing time in the darkened ballroom wielding... a table leg.

* InsatiableNewlyweds: Rey's ladies may never sleep peacefully again. Mitaka practically flees to avoid being present while Ben & Rey kiss.

* LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone: Hapan tradition calls for witnesses at the consummation of a royal marriage. Kylo & Rey shoot this idea down faster than Han making the Kessel Run, so emphatically that their subjects end up agreeing.
* LessonInSophistication: Ta'a Chume and Lairelosse give Rey detailed instruction on how to dress, how to act....and how to scheme, as heir to the queendom.

* ParentsWalkInAtTheWorstTime: Ahem. Isolder gets an unwelcome surprise when he goes looking for Rey & Ben in the library.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: Ben & Rey both qualify due to extreme Force powers. Special mention to Rey for throwing tanks at other tanks, and to the two of them, along with other force users, [[spoiler:destroying the First Order's entire legion of mega-weaponry]].
* ThePowerOfLove: Ben & Rey's powers seem to be magnified when they are together, acting as a sort of anchor for each other in the Force.

* TheReasonYouSuck: Rey delivers an epic verbal smackdown to [[spoiler:Snoke]], one line at a time, upon she & Kylo's arrival in his throne room. Oh yeah, she also [[spoiler:punches him in the face]].

* ShipperOnDeck: Rey's ladies seem to be our in-universe Reylos. Kylo certainly suspects them of trying to off him, via putting Rey in the most spectacular & revealing dresses they can find. Mitaka also seems to be on board, if the fact he [[spoiler:"forgot" to get rid of Kylo's wedding ring]] is any indication.

* SlapSlapKiss: Ben & Rey end up ferociously kissing after a heated exchange of verbal slaps, on more than one occasion.

* ThatManIsDead: Rey has heartbreaking moments of believing that Ben Solo is truly gone, and only Kylo Ren is left. He himself also vehemently objects to being called by his birth name...at first, anyway.
* ThereIsOnlyOneBed: For their union to be accepted, Ben & Rey must reluctantly begin sharing a suite and a bed after their wedding. Shenanigans ensue.

* UnwantedHarem: Referenced, then averted. The Hapan Court expectation would be for Rey to take many lovers, to her consternation. She has many admirers who would swoop in in a heartbeat...if they could first get past her hulking, jealous, highly volatile and dangerous husband.
