Rurouni kenshin is a manga about a samurai who used to he an assassin in a civil war and after that he decide to compensate his crimes by renouncing to kill people and helping them. There’s a character who especially reminds me to Kylo; Aoshi. He was a former evil guy that came to the good side but never became good. He attacked his adoptive father and stabbed him 42 times, before turning good. He stay with the good people for a girl who loves him, Misao. All the manga is about redemption.

Agneta and The Sea King, John Bauer

Getting some Reylo vibes from that story.

Another example of a creature of darkness or the Underground falling for a young maiden who lives in the light, and in this one, just like Hades, he comes up to the surface and kidnaps the girl while she’s picking flowers.

“"Just tell me who you are!“ Agneta repeated. “If I can help you, I will gladly do so, and if I cannot help you myself, perhaps my father can for he is a powerful man.”   Then the stranger began to speak: “no, you. You alone can give me peace and happiness.“His voice was mild and gentle like a breeze rustling in the sails of a ship. And again he raised his arm in supplication. Agneta had never seen a more beautiful face. Heavy, wet locks framed his cheeks, his purple lips opened to a gentle smile. Most wondrous of all, though, were his eyes. Agneta had never thought eyes could express such sorrow and tenderness. They were like the depths of the sea, which had so often captivated her gaze – one moment dark and mysterious, the next filled with glistening sunlight.   Agneta stepped on to the furthest stones at the edge of the water. "Tell me who you are” she demanded a third time. ”

“"Will you just leave me like that?“ called the sea king in a voice full of pain. "Shall I just return to my realm as lonely as ever? At least give me a keepsake to comfort me on my way. Give me the lime blossom you carry in your hand. As long as the scent lasts I shall believe you are close to me.”   Agneta stretched out her hand with the lime blossom and said: “Gladly will I give you that. Here, take it.”   The sea king reached out for the blossom and took hold of Agneta’s hand. Then he reached for her waist and lifted her up in his arms. She struggled and cried, but he dived down into the depths with her. At the same moment the sun set and soon the clouds paled and night fell. ”

Seriously, I would love to see some nice fanarts of Kylo as the Sea King, butt naked, with glorious locks falling down his back xD

Had to reblog this because I’m in the mood again, damn gods, fearies and elves, always horny for human girls.

BTW he makes her forget her human life and she agrees to marry him but the story ends with Agneta returning home after 7 years (during which she birthed 7 children, ffs) because she get’s her memories back and misses her father.

There is a book!

Many thanks to @simple-log who pointed this out to me.

Unfortunately there´s no English translation (yet?). @simple-log thinks it´s available in Russian, Ukrainian and maybe Polish.

Here´s what I found on Goodreads:

RITUAL by Marina Dyachenko & Sergey Dyachenko

But wait, there´s more! Another book by these authors and it´s available in English:

THE SCAR by
Marina Dyachenko & Sergey Dyachenko

Reaching far beyond sword and sorcery, The Scar is
a story of two people torn by disaster, their descent into despair, and
their reemergence through love and courage. Sergey and Marina Dyachenko
mix dramatic scenes with romance, action and wit, in a style both
direct and lyrical. Written with a sure artistic hand, The Scar is the story of a man driven by his own feverish demons to find redemption and the woman who just might save him.

Egert
is a brash, confident member of the elite guards and an egotistical
philanderer. But after he kills an innocent student in a duel, a
mysterious man known as “The Wanderer” challenges Egert and slashes his
face with his sword, leaving Egert with a scar that comes to symbolize
his cowardice. Unable to end his suffering by his own hand, Egert
embarks on an odyssey to undo the curse and the horrible damage he has
caused, which can only be repaired by a painful journey down a long and
harrowing path.

Plotted with the sureness of Robin Hobb and colored with the haunting and ominous imagination of Michael Moorcock, The Scar tells a story that cannot be forgotten.

...uh!?
