Kylux in a Victorian AU:

• Ben Solo is the son of Leia Organa, who caused a scandal in her time by wedding Han Solo, a man of much lower birth, poor nobility with a scandalous reputation. He resents that.
• Hux is the son of Lord Hux, who was once a high ranking officer in the Queen’s army. An almost caricature of a proper gentleman, only much less charming. He is cordial at parties, but nothing more and seems to just look down on every one.
• Ben Solo often goes roaming the less reputable areas of London, getting into fights and rumor says even killed a man once. He calls himself Kylo Ren in those times, which only fools those who have never seen Ben Solo before.
• Hux too goes to those seedy places, because he is gay AF and there are only so many places he can go to have the sex he really wants without getting caught. He once had a night of intense, violent sex with a low life named Kylo Ren. It was really good. He is not going to stoop so low as to go looking for him again.
• Except Hux and Ben Solo meet at a social gathering, and oh. 
• They pull each other to the side, fight, snap at each other and agree “I won’t tell if you don’t.”
• Hate sex.
• Keep meeting, keep fighting in a very aggressively polite way. The word goes around that they hate each other, which surprises no one. So when they come back together with their outfits ruffled and hair unkempt, everyone thinks they just fought.
• It all ends in an affair between, hate sex that turns not so hateful, and slow despair that the illicit rendez vous are all they will be able to have.
