    Summary

    "You're a vampire," she says calmly.
    "Yes."
    "I'm not sure whether to be relieved that I was right or terrified that I was right." She's not lying either. She's a bit of both right now.
    "Terrified would be the commonly expected reaction," I say softly. Her face is rigid, she's obviously distressed, confused, overwhelmed. I want to help her, to use my gift to calm her, but equally I want her honesty in this moment. If I have any chance at all at honesty with her, she has to be able to process this at her pace.
    "I was sort of hoping I had some kind of injury from banging my head so hard," she tells me, her tone and emotional state bitter and slightly wild. "I don't suppose there's any chance this is a hallucination?"
    "No, I'm afraid not," I say gently.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Best Bella in fic - by a wide, wide margin. Every character is written with such naturalistic depth and love that you can't help getting sucked in to even the minor relationships.

    Summary

    She moves into the apartment beside his, with her flowers and her singing and her brisk optimism, and Ben Solo knows himself just well enough to realize that a person like him really shouldn't have anything to do with a person like her. His good friend Snoke, of course, has other plans, because he gets a certain enjoyment from watching Ben - Kylo Ren, rather, as he calls him - screw things up. Which Ben inevitably does: but that's not where he wants them to end, and maybe Rey doesn't either.

    Summary

    Aspiring baker Rey works in a small shop in Wolverhampton with big dreams of becoming somebody. With the support of her flatmate Rose and their friends across the hall Finn and Poe, Rey enters into the journey of a lifetime as one of twelve bakers on the new series of The Great British Bake-Off.

    On her journey, she meets other amateur bakers like herself, including one man who catches her attention right away. Hux is stoic, keeping most of his story under lock and key. But over the course of their weeks in the tent, they're able to find common ground and open up to each other.

    But as Rey insists, she's on Bake-Off, not Love Island. She didn't go to the tent to fall in love, she went to the tent with a determination and drive to win -- and nothing will get in her way.
