There are so many fantastic works and writers in our fandom that don’t get the love and attention they deserve. Here are a few of my personal favorites under 100 kudos on AO3, in no particular order:

• Luminous Beings by @hauscrashburn
• In order to become a Jedi, Rey must do one thing: Kill Kylo Ren. But how
  can she when her heart belongs–and has belonged to him–for years now?
• alive with the glory of love by @punkeraa
• “Let the past die,” he quietly says. “Kill it, if you have to. That’s the only way to become what you’re meant to be.“ Winter;   
         
         Part 1 of seasons
         
     
• echoes (again) by @soul8
• again and again, she slips from his grasp like moonlight
  (reincarnation au where ben seeks her through their past lives
  and maybe, just maybe this time
  this time will be the last)
• these violent delights (have violent ends) by @occasionallycreative
• The news runs like a wildfire through the galaxy.Kylo
  Ren found something, someone, else to believe in. He gutted his master
  for her life. In return, vestiges of Snoke’s power delivered a
  punishment greater than anything either the fallen Knight or the last
  Jedi could imagine. Together forever, eternally apart.
• possessions of the heart by @punkeraa
• Rey accepts Kylo’s offer to stay with him in order to save the
  Resistance. In a bleak, hopeless moment, possessions of the heart bloom
  and flower into something else.
• build a ladder to the stars by @redbelles
• Kylo Ren’s heart is a desert.
• banes by @spookykingdomstarlight
• The galaxy belonged to Rey. He belonged to Rey. And still it
  was not enough. Whatever emptiness burned inside of him magnified itself
  in her, had long since grown out of control, worse than any black hole.
  He could be sated by her touch, her lips on his, the comfort of words
  he no longer believed that she believed: you’re not alone, I understand, I’m here with you, we can do this.There was nothing that could sate her.
• they call her the nothing by @ignitesthestars
• She remembers the old name. The thing she had gone by
  once, before she became something greater. She has no use for Rey, and
  yet she tucks it into the hollow place inside her anyway, to rattle
  around with her hunger and her power. There’s a strength, she thinks, in keeping something thought stolen from you. Even if you don’t want it anymore.
• In the Footsteps of Giants
  by @aionimica
• Post-Sequel Trilogy; Ben Solo is off in exile, accompanied by Rey. In
  desperate need of fuel, they stop on Naboo, but their pit stop doesn’t
  quite go as planned.
• dunes of sand by @kimaracretak
• Senator Ben Organa is sent to Jakku to evaluate the state of the old Imperial base and secure it from the rising First Order. He finds so much more than he could have imagined.
• don’t go down to the woods today by @kimaracretak
• Seven ways in which Ben might have joined Rey’s search for Luke, and
  seven ways in which time doesn’t move quite right on Ahch-To. 
• The Light Beneath
  by @southsidestory
• “Rey” is what the older scavengers called her, after the name on that
  filthy rebel helmet she grew so attached to. It was never her real name,
  so when she burns down all she loves, she doesn’t hesitate to discard
  it. Kira Ren, she’ll call herself. There is one thing she can’t kill,
  though, and his name is Ben Solo.
• Tryst by @forcebondedreylo
• Kira Ren isn’t ready to die, not when her handsome smuggler finds her among the rubble and promises to save her life.(It started out as a tryst, how did it end up like this? It was only a tryst, it was only a tryst!)
• The Hunter and the Swordsman by @dreamsdescent
• It was the first part of the night, and the Hunter was rising in the
  sky. Four stars stretched out in each direction, with a belt of three
  across the middle. For many generations he had watched over her
  kind during these long nights in the depths of winter, and now he was
  her only companion. The star that made the Hunter’s right shoulder
  shone red, reminding her of warmth, of flowers and flesh and blood, of
  all the things that sustained life amidst the cold emptiness of the
  heavens.
• temptations of grey by @punkeraa
• Nightmares filled with the ghostly voice of a woman haunt
  Supreme Leader Kylo Ren; a constant reminder of the discord within.
  Terrifying dreams plague Rey, casting doubt on choices she’s made. Both find themselves stranded on a humid jungle planet in unknown
  territory, captured and forced to participate in a strange mystical
  ceremony. Rey and Kylo must work together in their journey through the
  jungle, facing themselves and each other in the pursuit of balance.
• Stolen Hearts by @capaldisrighteyebrow
• As the Judge of Souls, Rey weighs humans’ hearts to assign their fates.
  When an imposing man who goes by Kylo Ren shows up without a heart, Rey
  seizes the chance to solve a mystery that threatens the universe.
  Returning to the mortal world together, Rey and Kylo rush to find his
  murderer and restore balance.
• Between Sky and Sea
  by @moonshotsandarchimedeslevers
• When Rey finally set out to find her parents, the last thing she
  expected was a mysterious stranger to drop out of the sky with his story
  of hidden wonders and secret treasure.
• Wish Upon a Star by @shelikespretties
• When Ben Solo exiles himself on a random planet in order to atone, he
  finds his mother packed him a calligraphy set. He keeps a diary of his
  existence, while Rey, cut off from him in the Force, tracks him down the
  only way she can.
• The Dragon Queen’s Moon by @diadumene
• “My handmaidens once told me a story,” Daenerys mused. “During my time
  in Essos, I would hear many variations of the story. Would you like to
  hear the one I liked best?”
• All In Her Arms by @aionimica
• Three things are to be expected when the dragon came back to the stars. The first was that one didn’t leave their home at night.The second was that one didn’t go check the noise they heard at the edge of the woods, no matter the cause.And last and final and arguably most important was that one most definitely did not get married.
• Per Aspera Ad Astra
  by @hellomelusine
• Rey Niima was the newest Computer hire at ‘Starkiller Base’ on the
  Harvard Campus, she had heard the rumors, but she hadn’t made it this
  far in her career by letting what other people had to say deter her. Of
  course, that in no way prepared her for coming face to face with
  Professor Kylo Ren. A terror of a boss, by all accounts, a monster, but
  Rey will not deterred.
• The Luminous Interval by @politicalpadme
• Rey and Ben are called to the ethereal realm of Mortis.
• a life between times
  by @kuresoto
• Sometimes, you have to lose your way to find yourself. After crash landing on an asteroid with a mind of its own, Kylo stumbles upon a gateway to other worlds. Except, it’s no ordinary gateway, but one through time.
• Yichud by @shmisolo
• Mazal Tov – The expression comes from the Mishnaic Hebrew
  mazzāl, meaning “constellation” or “destiny”.  Borrowed from Yiddish
  מזל־טובֿ (mazl tov), from Hebrew מַזָּל (mazál, “star, constellation;
  fate, luck”), from Akkadian (manzaltu [UD.DA]) + Hebrew טוֹב (tov,
  “good”); literally “good stars, good luck.”

My own Reylo works under 100 kudos:

• Calligraphy and Atonement 
• Ben Solo spends his time in exile trying not to think of Rey and keeps failing.
• beam that lights the way home 
• The star lit their path to each other, and lit their way home together.
• your soul and mine

  He had already sacrificed his own soul. What was one more?
• food for the soul
• Rey struggles with new food and the knowledge that Kylo Ren is her soulmate.
• Tall Tales of the Western Wilds
• They say there’s three sides to every story: his side, her side, and the
  truth. No matter which you choose to believe, Ragin’ Rey Kenobi was the
  greatest bounty hunter there ever was.
• through the darkness hails the light
• The Roman Empire, led by Emperor Snoke, is trying to colonize Ireland.
  The night before the winter solstice, there is an awakening in the old
  ways of magic. Rey and Kylo Ren journey to the ancient tomb at Newgrange
  for an unexpected discovery.
• the taste of victory
• She could taste victory, sharp and acrid on her tongue, like the tang of blood.
  Her lightsaber glowed red in the moonlight.
  She deactivated it as an officer approached.
  “I will go after the pilot. Alone,” she said, the force of command in her voice.
  “Yes, my lady,” the officer responded, bowing and withdrawing.
• across the stars
• After their encounter on Endor, the Master of the Knights of Ren chases a
  certain smuggler that she can’t get out of her mind across the galaxy.
• Force of Light
• After celebrating the end of the war and Wookiee Life Day on the
  Resistance base, Rey heads out into the snow to meditate. Kylo Ren goes
  out after her…and learns the true reason for the season.
• if it were only the stars we had wanted to conquer
• Amid a backdrop of persecution of magic users and First Order
  colonization, Kylo Ren discovers a powerful fellow magic user named Rey
  on a mission for his master. There is more than meets the eye with Rey’s
  magic, however, and she longs to understand her true calling. Yet her
  fate is inextricably bound with his own.
• I am sending back the key
• Rey’s mysterious new husband, Ben Solo, asks her not to enter his study.
  But who is he really and what is the truth about his family history?
