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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
i find that some times people forget that there are human beings behind the @’s. we all need to remember that the only person who can truly validate you, is you. we all need help some times, and we all seek out inspiration and reinforcement ~ but in the end… the one who puts the light into your life, needs to be yourself. someone can show you beauty or put a spark inside your heart, but the only person who can make that light into something guiding, is you.
Hey kids, my Best Goblin Friend, creepycreepyspacewizard, could use a little assistance. They recently produced an AMAZING ART BOOK (DID YOU BUY IT?) and have already mailed out the pre-orders to us lucky people, but the shipping costs ended up being a LOT higher than initially expected, so that expense had to come out of their pocket.
And if you’d also like a little something, send me an ask saying you donated (mention the name or message you leave on the page) and I will either write a short drabble for you (your prompt, pairing choice, etc.) or I will scribble up some attempt at art. Let it be known that I am not an artist in any way – it will be chicken scratch stick figures. It will be the shittiest combo of pictionary and drawful and all those other games. But I will attempt to draw absolutely anything and that should be fun and/or hilarious. It doesn’t even have to be a fandom I know if you’d like some really confusing attempts.
Also, I will attempt to do this drunk for added comedic effect. If you’d prefer a sober or more serious approach, let me know and I’ll save your prompt for a different day. Mostly I’m just looking at having a fun time with you all this evening!
MWUAH
I’ve got three amazing (writing?) prompts and my first drink in hand 👍
I don’t have much traffic on my blog these days and I’d love to make sure Gen’s friends see this, so please consider a reblog.
I wonder where the break happened that such wide swaths of younger fans don’t grasp fandom things that used to be unspoken understandings. That fic readers are expected to know fiction from reality, that views expressed in fic are not necessarily those of the author, that the labels, tags and warnings on various kinkfics are also the indication that they were created for titillation and not much more, please use responsibly as per all pornography. The ‘problem’ isn’t that so-called ‘problematic’ fic exists but that some of the audience is being stupid, irresponsible, at worst criminal, at best not old enough to be in the audience to begin with. And that’s on the consumer, not the author who told you via labels, tags, ratings, warnings and venues what their fic was about and what it was for.
