\n''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31447058 The Shadows Inside]]'' by nixcomix
* Recommended by: Tropers/StarSword
* Status: Complete
* Synopsis: A full rewrite of the trilogy where Kylo Ren personally tracks BB-8 on Jakku and finds Rey several days early--and suddenly begins remembering things he never experienced. Unbeknownst to either of them, they are the reincarnations of [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic Darth Revan and Bastila Shan]], who have [[ReincarnationRomance finally found each other again four thousand years after their deaths]].

* ''Comments:'' A brilliantly done fic that explores what happens when RealityEnsues at the end of a war and a general who ordered four planets to be destroyed has to deal with the magnitude of his crimes. Warning, this is a depressing, angst-filled fic and has a TearJerker of an ending.

* Recommended by: Adept
* Status: Complete
* Synopsis:
** ''The Things that Don't Destroy Us'': Rey loses her powers when the First Order ship she boarded on without her friends' knowledge is shot down by the Resistance. While recuperating from her injuries and loss of powers, she forms an [[BirdsOfAFeather unexpected bond]] with the only other survivor of the crash, General Hux.
** ''The Ones Who Rebuild Us'': Snoke is dead, and Kylo Ren and his knights have gone into hiding. Rey goes on a lone journey to track down the fallen Jedi to either redeem or kill him. But her mission draws her into an increasingly Dark path.
* Comments: One of the best redemption fic out there, with an insightful exploration of dealing with trauma and other issues. The [=OCs=] are well-written, and despite focusing on developing character relationships, the world-building and other additions to the ''Star Wars'' lore are interesting as well.

* Comments: After The Force Awakens, Kylo Ren keeps drunk dialling Rey via the Force. Absolute crack but has surprising depth. Luke is basically a new-age hermit, Rey struggles to become a Jedi, despite Kylo's many interruptions, Finn and Dameron are together, while Ghost Anakin and Obi-Wan watches over them.

* Status: Complete.
* Summary: Stormtrooper FN-2187 is sent to infiltrate the Resistance in the hopes of taking it down from the inside. However, things get complicated when he finds himself falling for a scavenger from Jakku along the way. Part 1 of the Forged in the Stars trilogy. Complete sequel now up [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/16926762/chapters/39769938 here]].
* Pairing: Finn/Rey
* Comment: An amazing 'what could have been' story with excellent Finn characterization and an interesting look into his past as a Stormtrooper. Stays close to canon with a few intriguing twists and more character development (and more Finnrey scenes). Now complete with a sequel on the way. I highly recommend it!

* Synopsis: ''"Have you heard? FN-2187 was a stormtrooper."'' The story passes from stormtrooper to stormtrooper, even as the First Order's leadership tries to squash the dissension. More and more stormtroopers hear though, and more and more stormtroopers leave. The Resistance can barely keep up with the soldiers that keep unexpectedly showing up and asking to see Finn, who has somehow become the patron saint of revolution.
* Notes: Part of the ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/411522 once there was]]'' series.
* Comments: This is amazing. It starts out amazing, then just keeps on being amazing. The characters, both OC's and canon, are great. The plot is exciting and makes sense. The style of writing is the real star here though. It's fluid and fairy-tale like, which is really interesting, and it's unlike most anything I've seen before. What was unexpected though was the incredible amount of emotion it has and makes you feel. I literally cried at times while reading this fic. It's not ludicrously long yet (and it seems like it very well won't ever grow to novel-length), so I'd advise everyone to give it a go.
