Reylo Crossover Fic Recs

The theme of International Fanworks Day in 2023 is When Fandoms Collide, and as an avid reader/sometimes writer in the Reylo Fam, I can say that the Reylo Fandom does crossovers really well! I have so many favorites, I can’t list them all, but please reblog and feel free to add your own Reylo crossover favorites! I’d like to discover new ones!  

Pheylo - a crossover between Phantom of the Opera fandom and Reylo (Kylo Ren and Rey of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy).  This is a natural fit, and I wrote one of my own and have read many others, which I will list here:

The Phantom of Dagobah by Pandora Spocks

One year has passed since The Force Awakens. Rey is training with Luke when she is lured away and kidnapped by an obsessed Kylo Ren and taken to his secret lair in a cave on Dagobah, where he plans to seduce her by physical and psychological means to the Dark Side.

Kylo is written in a similar fashion as Erik in Phantom of the Opera. Genre is a Gothic romance/suspense. Edgy, emotionally volatile, slightly unhinged Kylo for the first half. (Rey will be fine.)

“Destiny has chained you to me forever!” ~ Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera

Paper Faces on Parade by Dragon Whiskers

Phantom of the Opera setting stolen for a Force Awakens historical AU of some weirdness & crack, with some plot for fun and lots of pretty costumes as we get ready for one helluva masquerade!

I am the Mask You Wear by LRRH17

He turns his head, lets the cool metal of his mask brush her temple. “I am your darkness, Rey, and you are my light. Together, we will end the galaxy’s futile struggle to pick one side.”

This close to one another, Kylo can feel the shortness of Rey’s breath when she says, “I’m not a Jedi.”

“And I am not a Sith. That is why we will succeed.”

BEAUTIFUL!

Wow this took long!

Kylo’s Mixtape Vol 1 Track 28

In honor of The Last Jedi novelization’s release and all the Reylo therein (according to spoilers, anyway), I have made a playlist! It is all from Kylo/Ben’s perspective.

I have no idea why they broke up the song into two different parts. You all know by now how much I love that Throne Room scene! This is basically that from start to finish. “You have come here in pursuit of your deepest urge, In pursuit of that wish which till now has been silent.” Rey has come to save Kylo. “The bridge is crossed, So stand and watch it burn.” Snoke has been killed and they’ve fought together in synchronicity to kill the praetorian guards. “Say you'll share with me, One love, one lifetime...” Kylo gives his “join me” speech and pretty much asks her to be his queen and BAM I’m a hardcore Reylo shipper out of nowhere haha! *Christine removes the Phantom's mask.* Rey does not join Kylo and instead the lightsaber gets ripped apart just like my heart! Kyrics below the fold.

[PHANTOM]

You have come here in pursuit of your deepest urge In pursuit of that wish which till now has been silent Silent

I have brought you That our passions may fuse and merge In your mind you've already succumbed to me Dropped all defences, completely succumbed to me Now you are here with me No second thoughts, you've decided Decided

Past the point of no return No backward glances Our games of make-believe are at an end Past all thought of "if" or "when" No use resisting Abandon thought and let the dream descend

What raging fire shall flood the soul? What rich desire unlocks its door? What sweet seduction lies before us?

Past the point of no return The final threshold What warm unspoken secrets will we learn? Beyond the point of no return

[CHRISTINE]

You have brought me To that moment when words run dry To that moment when speech disappears Into silence Silence

I have come here Hardly knowing the reason why In my mind, I've already imagined Our bodies entwining Defenseless and silent Now I am here with you No second thoughts I've decided Decided

Past the point of no return No going back now Our passion-play has now, at last, begun Past all thought of right or wrong One final question How long should we two wait, before we're one? When will the blood begin to race? The sleeping bud burst into bloom? When will the flames, at last, consume us?

[BOTH]

Past the point of no return The final threshold The bridge is crossed So stand and watch it burn We've passed the point of no return

[PHANTOM]

Say you'll share with me One love, one lifetime Lead me, save me from my solitude

Say you want me with you here, beside you Anywhere you go, let me go too Christine, that's all I ask of—

Space Mom should most definitely request a Phantom related fanart! DO IT FOR THR VERY SMALL BUT INCREASINGLY GROWING "PHEYLO" FANDOM!

I am DEFINITELY considering that, but it is such an AWESOME power and responsibility to win a fanart piece of my choosing from an artist as good as @terapid. I’m kind of thinking the Phantom bridal carry or frozen scene from “Love Never Dies” (that “Moonlit Sky scene where he runs his hand over her arm.....ahhhh...) only why should it be Rey? I think maybe it should be a photoshopped, younger, thinner version of ME in Adam Driver’s arms just....because! LOL.  But yeah, serendipitous that I win that on the day I finish my story!!!! I see you are a COMPLETE Phantom convert now and I’m LOVING it! Are you even into Love Never Dies?

[pandoraspocksao3]

There are several “Pheylo��� stories out there!  That is a GORGEOUS pic!!!  

Reylo × Phantom of The Opera 🖤

[pandoraspocksao3]

Hi, I am a little confused. I thought you wrote another story about Pheylo with Kylo as Phantom. I don't see it now in your story list. Did you take it down?

You might have me confused with someone else. I just have the one story. I did change the name of it from “The Phantom’s Obsession” to “Dark Angel,” though. Felt the original title was a little bit too “Harlequin!” Could you be thinking of “Paper Faces” by DragonWhiskers? That is another crossover Pheylo story on AO3 which is very good. I’m sure there are others, but I haven’t gotten to any others. Hope that helps!

It’s my one-year anniversary to starting to write fanfiction!

Granted, it’s not exactly Hemingway, but my goal last year was just to get my feet wet and to put together a story with a beginning, middle, and end, update once a week, and stay true to both the Star Wars Universe while doing a Phantom of the Opera crossover in which the characteristics Kylo shares with the Phantom are emphasized. It’s definitely 18+ and there is some graphic violence and sex. (Rey is not harmed.) I wrote it as darker Gothic piece, but I lightened up toward the end. 

People who like Phantom and Reylo both would be the best target audience (the “Pheylos”). Is it as good as other people’s fics I’ve recommended on here? I would say no. I’m extremely critical of my own work. When I look back on it, all I see are the things I would change! Some people left favorable comments though and liked it, so maybe I didn’t do a horrible job. How’s that for a ringing endorsement? 

This is definitely Dominant/Possessive!Kylo with Ben Solo and Reylo endgame, but he is a jerk in a few chapters. He’s a tad psycho, because I tried to merge the character of Phantom with Kylo, which wasn’t hard to do since they have so much in common! 

Dark Angel, originally called The Phantom’s Obsession, is a crossover of Phantom of the Opera and Star Wars that takes place in the Star Wars universe. The basic plot is simple:  

One year has passed since The Force Awakens. Rey is training with Luke when she is kidnapped by an obsessed Kylo Ren and taken to his secret lair in a cave on Dagobah to seduce her by physical and psychological means to the Dark Side.

The WONDERFUL artwork at the top was gifted to me by @terapid. This is another example of his stunning Reylo fanart. I love how the candelabras are MOVING in the piece and the light is reflected of their skin. Poor Terapid - I threw a bunch of vague ideas of what I wanted and I said it would be great if the picture could show they are in  a cave with candlelight, but I thought that was probably impossible...and he made them FLOAT which I thought was genius given Kylo could do that using the Force and it also has that Gothic overtone to it that I was striving for in writing it. He did a magnificent job! His artwork is just phenomenal. You can see his artwork HERE on his tumblr blog. 

Some people have asked me if he’s still taking commissions for fanfic art, and the truth is you’d have to ask him. I know he’s very busy with his regular job. But he’s very nice and easy to approach, so just PM him if that is something you are interested in.

Kylo’s Mixtape Vol 1 Track 15

In honor of The Last Jedi novelization’s release and all the Reylo therein (according to spoilers, anyway), I have made a playlist! It is all from Kylo/Ben’s perspective.

No offense to Gerard Butler, but I prefer this version. This song to me is about Kylo appreciating their force bond. If “you’re not alone.” “Neither are you.” isn’t our generation’s “I love you.” “I know.” I don’t know what is! “Then at last, a voice in the gloom, Seemed to cry ‘I hear you...’” Full lyrics below the fold.

Shamed into solitude Shunned by the multitude I learned to listen

In my dark, my heart heard music. I longed to teach the world Rise up and reach the world No one would listen I alone could hear the music Then at last, a voice in the gloom Seemed to cry "I hear you; I hear your fears, Your torment and your tears. " She saw my loneliness Shared in my emptiness No one would listen No one but her Heard as the outcast hears No one would listen No one but her Heard as the outcast hears...

Ah, nice!!! Love it!

Phantom of the Opera + Reylo

I CANT. I CANT. WOW.

P.s: @fabergie.alvashie on Instagram for the AMAZING art!

[pacificwanderer]

Hahaha there are more than a few of us, apparently. I definitely can blame my love of caped/masked men with nice boots on Erik aaaaand Jareth lol. Errol was handsome af. I need to watch that movie!

I was obsessed with the Phantom of the Opera as a young girl and, tragically, I had no internet and no one to tell me how to not romanticize tragically torn, broken men.

As a consequence, I’m now married to an opera ghost.

[grlie-girl]

Ooh, pretty!!! Have you seen this @pandoraspocksao3 ?

Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination

[frozenoj]

Fear can turn to love You'll learn to see, to find the man behind the monster This repulsive carcass Who seems a beast but secretly dreams of beauty

reylo + the phantom of the opera | parallels

[pandoraspocksao3]

Wow, thank you for finding this and reblogging! It’s been over a year now for that one (started in 03/2017, finished in 07/2017, but made some changes and finished date reads 10/2017). 

But the artwork with the GIF effects added in blew me away, as well as how her skin seems to reflect the candlelight. @terapid is one amazing artist! It’s the piece I asked for. That was a BIG ask, as you can read above. He had to somehow get the half mask on him and still show his face plus all the other elements I wanted, so the art in this is really incredible.

The story is kind of a Space Harlequin, but I learned a lot and it’s what I had in my head at the time. You might like it; you might hate it. I basically merged the characters, and that was a challenge. I STILL get strong Phantom vibes from the films, especially The Last Jedi!

When Rian posted on Twitter how big a Phantom of the Opera fan he was, I lost my shit! Everyone has their own take on this, but there are so many parallels to POTO (Phantom), it’s difficult not to see it. 

Mine is set in Star Wars universe, but if you are looking for a historical romance setting AU, try Paper Faces on Parade by Dragon Whiskers; it’s lovely. (She is @belovedunderwing on Tumblr but doesn’t Tumble much.) 

As always, I encourage anyone who has never listened to the Broadway (Michael Crawford/Sarah Brightman) version of the soundtrack to do so. I listened to it all as a teenager before ever seeing it on stage, reading the book, or seeing the movie in 2004 (best version IMO). I never get tired of it. You can pick it apart, just like Star Wars, or just enjoy it for what it is and let the music just carry you away. It’s very powerful and sensual music.

@monharki  No way! How funny! All Pheylos, meet me at Rian’s house and lets go see Phantom!

@ben-solo-needs-a-timeout @grlie-girl

Rian Johnson is my spirit animal

[pandoraspocksao3]

@arriku-art , I just wanted to say I have seen this picture floating around before, but I never knew who the artist was. This is absolutely stunning. Amazing job!

“I’ve past the point of no return.” “Pitiful creature of darkness, what kind of life have you known?” Phantom of the Space Opera

This is is beautiful it gives me chills! I'd only heard the Minnie Driver version (played in the credits, also good), but this is perfect for Ben!!!
