Rey's Awakening

"I have a job for you, Bee-Bee."

- Rey to BB-8

Rey's Awakening is a 2014 work of canon erotic fiction and The Force Awakens erotic fiction written by Kooriv, and is arguably the first work of erotic fiction based on characters and situations from Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, and the first set within the new erotica canon. It features Rey in two scenes, the second of which pairs her with BB-8 and was directly inspired by and based on Shabby Blue's SBTFA01 - Rey and Her Bee-Bee.

Development
"I hope you won't mind yet another story from me [...] but I couldn't resist dipping into the new era with what I think is the first piece of Episode VII erotic fiction so far... and I'm anticipating many more to come from our erotica community!"

- Kooriv

This story was directly inspired by SBTFA01 - Rey and Her Bee-Bee, and more broadly by the debut of Shabby Blue's The Force Awakens Series on Christmas Day 2014, which heralded a new era of erotica. Kooriv was inspired to create his own take on the pairing of Rey and BB-8, offering a more hardcore representation of the characters. Because little was known about the characters' roles and situations, he kept much of the surrounding detail vague, and left it "reasonably unclear" as to whether Rey and Bee-Bee had previously met.

The story was released to the Star Wars Erotica Forum on December 27, 2014, two days after both SBTFA01 and the author's previous work, "Christmas in the Stars". It was added to Kooriv's Fiction Archive on October 8, 2015.

Author's commentary
"'Alright, so here's a little extra treat for the season. Obviously we were all surprised by Shabby revealing his first Force Awakens artwork on Life Day, and I have to say the simple teaser image is one of my favorites. Rey looks excellent as depicted by Shabby, and I was immediately inspired to create something of my own to mark the new era. Seeing 'Bee-Bee' paired with character gave me an idea of how to approach a story we know almost nothing about. This is a fairly simple fic, and the context is obviously sufficiently vague enough based on what little we know of the forthcoming film. I also made it reasonably unclear as to whether Rey and BB-8 have previously met."

"'I hope you won't mind yet another story from me (and check out my festive 'Christmas in the Stars' if you haven't already; you could say I'm on a roll!) but I couldn't resist dipping into the new era with what I think is the first piece of Episode VII erotic fiction so far... and I'm anticipating many more to come from our erotica community!"

"'Whether you're looking forward to the new era or not (especially with the treatment of the Expanded Universe, that has given Shabby and the rest of us so much inspiration over the years) hopefully you'll enjoy this story of a girl and her machines....'"

Continuity

 * The story is set during the events of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, and was directly inspired by SBTFA01 - Rey and Her Bee-Bee. Several references are made to the shift from the old Expanded Universe (now Legends) to erotica canon, with concepts such as "change", a "new dawn", and "legends" of old, out-dated stories.
 * BB-8 follows in the tradition of R2-D2 as a sexually-active droid in erotica, and is fitted with a probic arm capable of simulating penetrative sex, as is Artoo in a range of Legends erotica (SHAB99G, "The Proper Way to Clean a Droid") The latter contains examples of individuals orally "cleaning" a probic arm, as Rey does here. Further, it is implied BB-8 has an archive of prurient data, much like R2-D2's secret archive ("A Solo Girl and Her Droid").
