Hey! Are you currently working on new (Kylux) fic? I miss your writing ❤

Aw, thank you, friend!! 💛💛 I just posted a (short) epilogue to Stars In Our Wake, and I have a khk prompt fill that I’m polishing up. Going to *try* to get a silly little New Year’s fic up on time, if the words cooperate. After that, I have a witch!Kylo modern AU that I would really love to finish, it’s just stalled out right now.

I don’t know if this is an issue, it shouldn’t have broken any of my links, but I changed my main username @ AO3 to “griesly” like my main blog. Echoist is an old name from a not so great time in my life that I just wanted to finally shake off. It’s also a band now, apparently, and there has been some confusion.

TFA Setting / Canon Divergent – 

Force apprentice Kylo Ren is trapped in an escape shuttle with a man he deeply dislikes, piloting the tiny craft to anything that remotely resembles safety. He is nineteen years old and this is his first real taste of the galaxy. His companion in disaster, twenty-three year old Captain Hux, is mourning the loss of his first command, the Tarkin, which is currently a smouldering wreck in space following a desperate battle with pirates. When they finally touch down on a remote jungle planet, survival is the most important priority. They strip the ruined shuttle for everything they can use and start walking. Thrown together by fate and united against the harsh climate and punishing odds, the two youngsters grow closer and closer together. When they reach a settlement, they will call for help and be picked up, to go their separate ways in the vast galaxy.
