Huxblush’s (and various other people’s) Underrated Faves Kylux Rec List

It’s been a really long time since I made a rec list and this was meant to be a small list of underrated favourites but I got a lot of suggestions (part 2 soon levels of suggestions). Shout out to the anonymous suggestions and the suggestions I received from stardestroyervigilance, woehuxbub, honeypothux,  sparrowlicious, haeym, ellstra, mademoisellebianx, and thissisatitle. 

Please remember to heed all tags and warning and to leave some love for the authors.

Emperor’s Heir by @ellstra Rating: E. Wordcount: 88k.

Hux is, without doubt, the best General the First Order could have. But like other geniuses, he isn’t appreciated during his life, and now he has to choose between two equally unappealing alternatives: undergoing some ghastly ritual to gain Force sensitivity, or death. 

A Time To Heal by @glass-oceans Rating: E. Wordcount: 5k.

Following the destruction of Starkiller Base, Kylo Ren struggles to regain his footing and strength, aware of the watchful gazes of those who would see him fall. General Hux is one of those watching, but Hux would see Kylo rise.

Rebel Yell by @sarensen Rating: E. Wordcount: 6k. 

Kylo Ren has seen evil, true evil, in his life. He’s peered into the hearts of men and seen the darkness and depravity of monsters. He’s walked in fields drenched in the blood of his enemies, slaughtered by his own hand. But nothing has shaken him so much, filled him with so much pure and abject horror, as this:

Karaoke night.

Freefall by InkStainedFingers  Rating: T. Wordcount: 2k. 

The night after the disaster at Starkiller Base, Kylo Ren pays a visit to the General’s quarters.

no one else can heal your woundsby @mermaidtechie Rating: E. Wordcount: 2k.

An injured Kylo drags himself to Hux’s quarters after being punished by Snoke. Hux takes care of him in the only way he knows how.

Old Magic by @squintlysays Rating: E. Wordcount: 32k.

For the first time in three hundred years, Hux felt the call.

The spell was crude, boorish; a plain tallow candle, words mumbled and mispronounced, none of the courtly gestures to which Hux had once been accustomed. He came anyway, if only to see who, in the Christian year 1803, would think to summon a fairy. 

Inked by @ellabesmirched Rating: E. Wordcount: 7k.

When Hux’s date picks an awful dive for their first meet up, Hux assumes they won’t hit it off. Hux hates dive bars. And more than that, he’s pretty sure he hates pretentious bartenders that try too hard to turn strange into an artform. Kylo Ren has too many tattoos, too many piercings, and is just the right side of cocky. Unfortunately for Hux’s date, Kylo is also just the right side of intriguing.

MSE-6-H674L & BB-9E’s Zany Adventures Into General Hux’s Love Life by @stardestroyervigilance Rating: T. Wordcount: 10k.

By all accounts a droid whose sole purpose was to maintain the machinery of the Finalizer should not have been able to wiggle their way into an adventure as dangerous as trying to bring General Hux and Kylo Ren together. But life finds a way and MSE-6-H674L is a mouse droid on a mission. With the help of the familiar face of BB-9E will this well meaning droid be able to bring our two favourite co-commanders together? 

Stars Hung With String by @armisticehux Rating: M. Wordcount: 41k.

Kylo stared across the packed room at the man who so effortlessly walked out of his life five years prior. They might have been stuck at the same wedding for a weekend, but that didn’t require interaction. He had no reason to feel anything but bitterness and resentment towards him.

And yet.

Returns by @darthastris Rating: E. Wordcount: 96k (WIP series) 

No one had bothered him upon his solo return to the Finalizer. No one had arrested him on sight or come for him in the middle of the night as he’d expected. Counting the two days it had taken them to rendezvous with the Finalizer after the destruction of Starkiller Base, he’d been awake for almost 120 consecutive hours. He was used to long, restless nights, but he hadn’t been kept awake by this kind of anxiety-laden watchfulness since his academy days. Then again, Hux hadn’t slept alone for some years now, and sharing a bed with the galaxy’s second-most wanted man had its benefits.

Crush by @deluxekyluxtrashcan Rating: T. Wordcount: 8k. 

It’s been years since Kylo last came home, and knowing he won’t be able to take the plunge and actually stay with his parents, he agrees to let Han book him a room at a local hotel. The only problem? Han messes up and Kylo has nowhere to stay – that is until his high school crush Hux, who he hasn’t seen in years, offers to let him share his room.

Kylo has to navigate the feelings he finds he still has for Hux, the fragile new relationship with his parents, and the realisation that he isn’t the only one with a difficult relationship with his parents
