Earis Recs 3.1 - Sex Pollen. That's It. That's the Rec.

There’s something pure about sex pollen fic. It’s just compulsory fucking. That’s it. I’ve often joked that sex pollen walked so that A/B/O could run, but sex pollen does not have the societal complications of A/B/O and certainly does not require alternate anatomies. Sex pollen can run the gamut from crack fic (oh no, we’ve wandered into this mysterious greenhouse together what will happen) to heavy plot-driving devices (oh no, we’re mortal enemies who have been forced to have sex maybe we should work together.) Sex pollen can be considered to be a subset of a larger aphrodisiac-related trope. In aphrodisiac fics, there are all sorts of entities causing the need to fuck - including sand, moth dust, aphrodiasiac sap, alien pheremones, etc.. And while it usually rides the line of dub-con/non-con, it doesn’t have to mean that the characters themselves are forcing themselves on each other (at least until one party doses the other(s) without consent).

For my first iteration of this theme, I will be focusing on classic sex pollen in Reylo (but there will be background pairings, which I will note). 6 full fics plus a 7th microfic/drabble. As always, if you think there is a tag I missed, please let me know. And for some of these authors, I could not find them on Twitter or Tumblr, so please let me know if I’m missing someone.

General Warning: For sex pollen, most of these recs are dub-con, verging on non-con. Please read the tags in the fic!

1. This Dust Survives

Author: RedRoseWhite; Twitter

Rey has houseplants in her pod on Ajan Kloss. She starts have sex with her friends. She learns about love, friendship, loyalty, strength, and kindness. When the Force Bond opens, she shares what she has learned with Ben and brings him home. While Rey is definitely horny because of the plants, she does not regret what she has done. I love this fic because it is sweet and languid and sexy in the best way. It does have non-Reylo sex, but the true emotional connection here is Rey and Ben and it is Reylo HEA.

Pairing: Reylo, Rey/Rose, Rey/Kaydel/Poe, Rey/Original Male Character Status: Complete Rating: Explicit Warning: Dub-con due to sex pollen

2. Avaritia

Author: bbl8te; Twitter; Tumblr

Rey is lost and stranded on an unknown planet. In a panic, she reaches out through the Force to Kylo. When he gets there, he realizes that Rey has been exposed to a plant that causes living things to want to have sex. This fic a great example of one of my favorite sex pollen tropes - when one of the characters realizes what is going on and tries valiantly to resist the pull of the sex pollen, despite the fact that they want the other person, even without the botanical encouragement. Kylo Ren is tinged with sadness here and feels resigned to violence, but Rey brings him to a more hopeful place.

Regency Era Sex Pollen AU. Need I say more?

Okay, okay. Miss Rose Tiloy-Connor needs Euryale Palpatine to chaperone her when she and her suitor Lord Armitage Huxley visit a greenhouse to witness the blooming of a rare flower rumored to be the incarnation of a fertility goddess. Unfortunately for Euryale, the utterly unbearable Lord Benvolio Kylopold Soloren is there with Hux. Hopefully the beautiful flower’s blooming will provide some much-needed entertainment.

Pairing: Reylo, Gingerrose, various other background characters Status: Complete Rating: Explicit Warning: Dub-con due to sex pollen, public sex, public orgy, period typically attitudes towards extra marital sex

4. Blue Flowers and Silver Skin

Author: blueyedgurl

FUCK OR DIE. Ugh, what a great fuck or die sort of medieval AU. Rey is looking for a specific flower to make a potion. The flower, she knows, has a pollen that, if encountered, makes people want to fuck, and if they don’t, they will perish. She’s carefully harvesting the flowers when the local woodsman, Ben, comes into the clearing, covered in pollen. Whatever will happen?

Pairing: Reylo Status: Complete Rating Explicit Warning: Dub-con due to sex pollen, rough sex, somnophilia

5. Apart From My Beating Heart

Author: ReyloRobin2011

A post-TROS fix-it fic (sort of). After facing Palpatine, Ben and Rey escape Exegol in the decrepit X-Wing. They crash land on a planet with some very interesting trees and are overwhelmed with desire. This fic is lyrical and lovely, especially for a sex pollen fic. The sex is wonderful, and the ending strangely happy.

Pairing: Reylo Status: Complete Rating: Explicit Warning: Dub-con due to sex pollen, mild somnophilia

6. Unto Dust

Author: LyricalRiot; Twitter; Tumblr

Post TLJ, Rey is searching the galaxy for works that can help her learn about the Force. She lands on a planet with the promise of deep knowledge about the Force, but her journey brings her into a cave populated by plants with a very specific purpose - increase fertility by causing a driving desire to have sex. Unfortunately, the desire for sexual pleasure is so intense that people exposed to the plant will waste away from dehydration while they are trying to satisfy their appetites. Hey, what do you know - it’s FUCK OR DIE again! When Rey is affected, the Force bond opens and Kylo recognizes where Rey is and what is happening. In addition to some very hot sex, this fic has great character work, as the two of them try to find a common ground.

Pairing: Reylo Status: Complete Rating: Explicit Warning: Dub-con due to sex pollen

7. Allergic (part 4 of Cap’s Explicit Reylo Microfics)

The house is a ruin, but there’s a fortune in farming opportunities in the field.

Only Ben Solo, a son of Junari Point whose blood is as black as the soil, can reveal a world unseen to Rey -- prompting her to try and save him from the life he’s chosen.

Always watchful. Chapter Summary: The Room. The Field. Warnings: Major Character Death, Horror Themes, Violence, Gore, Spooky Shit

Excerpt beneath the cut.

Excerpted from A Salted Field, Ch. 24...

Pain — true pain — sometimes takes a moment or two to catch up to you. In the momentary delay between having the wind punched from her lungs, and the oddly disconnected silence that precedes the recognition of impact — that Rey wondered if she was already dead.

 Crumpled atop the detritus from the attic, her bones humming with the collision, she stared at the gaping maw of the ceiling with its stringy bits of plaster dangling like a vengeful baby mobile.  

That she’s fallen though was a distant thing that didn’t yet register.

It was a moment further before Rey could process that the house had granted her entry into its lost history, but that was secondary to the silence of the thing she’d come to think of as only ’the room.’

Dust motes stirred on stale air, trapped in beams of weak sunshine spilling through a moth eaten curtain. She registered that the fabric had once been faded and pink. Frilled with ruffles. 

The terror of not having any oxygen in her lungs hit her next — like a punch to the gut, that too took a moment, and when she did gulp a breath it tasted like old paper and forgetting; stale linens soured with the heat and humidity of too many summers trapped in a room that couldn’t breathe. The suffocation of trying to forget what might’ve been. 

The pain came next: an inventory of creaking joints and twanged muscles in critical places. Nothing broken. Everything hurting.

Reylo week day 4- AU//Fae

@hobbitbabe requested a moth/butterfly reylo fic// this one was a little challenging for me but oh boi it unlocked something super creative in me so thank you for the request! I got some inspiration for this as well from this fanart right here. And this one as well. And this. This might not be exactly what you were looking for but I hope it's okay! Here's my moth/butterfly fae AU

Since Rey was a little girl she would dream of another world filled with the brightest colors she's ever seen. Growing up on Jakku, she had never known anything other than the desert sands of her world, but at night when she was asleep she would dream of a place where the grass was tall and flowers bloomed. She would imagine herself laying on a lush flowerbed filled with pinks and purples and that was when the butterflies would come to greet her. She could feel their wings flutter against her freckled skin, as if they were giving kisses to her nose and her cheeks and her lips. There was so much brightness and serenity in these dreams that when she awoke, she could feel the life draining from her colorful fantasy. Her dreamland became her favorite place to be, until one day the dreams stopped. The butterflies no longer visited her and her fantasies were replaced with darkness, of the force calling to her and beckoning her to take a stand against evil. For the first time in her life Rey began to have nightmares, sometimes about her parents, sometimes about Kylo Ren. The butterflies were gone. But she had hope that they would return. One day.

///

When Ben met his fate on Exegol, the last thoughts he had were of Rey, of how she was the last glimpse of light he saw before he plunged into darkness. When the cold silence consumed him and he felt no more, he found himself in a place he had never been before. It was another realm entirely where time stopped, voices seemed to echo from nowhere, and everything was dark. And he saw her there, not as she had once been in life, not in a mortal form, but he knew it was her. Hands out stretch towards the creature, his eyes watching the fragile brown wings beating cautiously as it drew nearer to him as if he radiated light. The moth lands in his palm and he fights the urge to curl his fingertips around the insect, wanting to pull her closer. This was just a fragment of her, a promise that they would one day meet again, a sign they were still connected through the force. Even if he was in another world entirely, she would find him again. For now he would settle for the company of the winged creature.

///

The first night after Ben was gone, Rey did not sleep. She could not bring herself to drift off even as her head hit the pillow. Thoughts of him plagued her, thoughts of what could have been, of a life they could have shared together. It was well into the next morning when she finally started to drift off, the sunlight bathing her in its golden rays- and somehow she found that more peaceful than the dark silence of the night. As she slept, she found herself in the familiar dreamland of her youth, feeling her bare feet against the wet grass for the first time in years. She sat in her favorite spot by the running stream, dipping her fingers into the cold water. It was just how she remembered it, the lush green trees, the warm breeze blowing through her brown hair, isolated and secret and just for her. But there was something missing. She couldn't quite place it, everything else seemed absolutely perfect. What was missing? And then she feels it, the soft flutter of wings against her freckled shoulders, the slight tickle that felt like hundreds of kisses. And then something new happens, something that never happened before. They whisper her name.

"Rey, I've found you again. Rey, it's me."

She knew immediately who the voice belonged to and she spun on her heels to search the clearing for him. "Ben?" But he wasn't there. "Ben where are you? I hear you."

"I'm here with you Rey-"

"Where? I can't see you!"

"Open your eyes."

Rey fought to obey his command, struggling to shake off the deep sleep that had overcome her. Slowly, the clearing began to fade from view and all she could see was darkness. "Rey, open your eyes."

Her hazel eyes snap open and she is greeted with more darkness. The voice was gone and she was seemingly alone now, cloaked in the deafening silence. She makes a move to stand up but is bewildered when she feels her body weighed down by something heavy. Reaching behind herself, her fingers come in contact with something soft, something that seemed to be connected to her. Wings. Her eyes go wide and she feels herself stretch the new extension of her body, marveling in the sensation.

"You're beautiful, Rey."

This time when she turns around, she sees him. His handsome face, the expression of awe he always wore in her presence etched into his features. For a moment she is so lost in his brilliant brown eyes that she doesn't see the large, marvelous blue wings that sprouted from his back. "Ben...where are we? What are we?"

He laughs, the same genuine chuckle that had left his lips after she had kissed him on Exegol. "I don't know," he answers honestly, taking a graceful step towards her. "But we're together. We can be together here and that's all that matters."

Rey finds herself drawing nearer to him, mesmerized by him. He was the only light in this darkness. Ben's hands reach out for her and the moment they touch she feels electricity run through her, the force rushing through them both. They were one once again. The man's fingers brush through her hair and only then does she notice the feathery antennae perched upon both of their heads. "I will always be with you. Whenever you need me, just come to this place and I will be here," he whispers, bending down to press a kiss to her cheek. "Don't be afraid to be without me, Rey. I'm not really gone." His words prompt her to pull him closer, desperate to keep him from fading away again. But as scared as she is of losing him, she also knows his words are true. All she had to do was will him to be with her and he would be there beside her.

Rey wakes to the sound of BB-8 chirping cheerfully, the sunlight blinding her when she opens her eyes. She was back in her bed, alone again but more hopeful than the previous night. As she rolls out of bed, preparing herself for the day, her eyes land on a small blue butterfly perched on her windowsill. She smiles. She was not alone. Ben was always with her.

(last one!) reylo AU prompt #3: "We both have friends who party too hard and we keep running into each other in the bathroom while we hold their hair back"

(last one!) reylo AU prompt #3: "We both have friends who party too hard and we keep running into each other in the bathroom while we hold their hair back" @castiel   ( i did this one second instead of third because I was immediately inspired , i’ll work on the other one in a bit ! ) 

The first time, Rey’s got her hand affixed around Rose’s head - they’d gone to a house party, at both Finn , and Poe’s insistence. Rey’s not keen on them, but had come alongside her dearest friend in a show of support. 

Ben walking in had been an unfortunate byproduct of this house’s two bathrooms, the other had been locked, he mutters, and she fixes him with a hard glare : get out. While Rose empties her stomach contents into the toilet and Rey tries to not gag -- she’s been around it enough.

The second time, it was Ben’s turn . They’re at a club that’s crammed with people between their respective age groups, and he’s kneeling, looking annoyed, beside someone with ginger hair that was short enough it hardly warranted holding, but it’d been a move of solidarity more than necessity. Rey knows he’s just being a good friend, in an attempt at companionship. 

He looks at her, solemn, dark eyes questioning : how had they wound up in this position not one, but two separate times?

Now Rey’s almost come to expect it, their circle of friends has enough overlap that she no longer questions it. He’s a fixture, dark eyes and darker hair always absorbing the energy of the party around them, turning it into something that draws her in - a moth to flame, a desperate, drunk girl to the pretty boy she’s no longer able to ignore.

He’s moving away, through the throng of people between them, having caught her eye an earned himself a quizzical, belabored, drunken stare from Rey. 

Curiosity be damned -- she wasn’t going to traipse after him.

Only she is.

And she does. 

Rey pauses -- the door to the men’s room swinging shut against its biway hinges - and her stomach twists. What if this was stupid ? He could be going pee, she surmises, but -- what if... and what if she DIDN’T ? She’s not altogether capable of rationalizing this away, so she won’t. So she doesn’t.

She’s nearly made a professional of poorly thought out decisions. This was no different.

He’s standing just out of the door’s reach, when she swings it open, and then, as she turns to face him, Ben locks it ( Ben -- Rose had told them, sort of orbited their group instead of outright assimilating to it, as someone might ), Rey’s eyes only leave his long enough to watch his fingers close over the metal arrow that would keep the door closed.

She’s then, immediately, pinned against it. He growls something indiscernible against her throat- she thinks it might be him cursing her continued presence in his world, but its lost to the teeth, the hot breath that’s clipped as he groans, and moves his lips to kiss her.

Rey smiles into his mouth, it tastes like whiskey whereas she’s certain hers tastes like gin.

What a pair.
