I know many of us are biding our time waiting for The Last Jedi, and some folks in the fandom may be hibernating a little, but there has certainly been a constant injection of great material literally (haha) every day.
Some writings posted / updated in just the last monthish that I’ve had the pleasure to read are:
Shades Undimmed by for_autumn_i_am aka @longstoryshortikilledhim
Hux is a bounty hunter who teams up with renegade Jedi Kylo Ren for a hunt. They’re determined not to let their biological needs intervene with the integrity of their mission. They fail. (A/B/O Themes)
(this fic is just holy balls good – delicious UST against a dynamic background of combat and spaceflight)
A Handbook For Practical Daemon Keeping by Marlon aka @marlonbookcase
A Handbook for Practical Daemon Keeping. Kylo snorted as he pulled the crumbling book off the shelf. What nonsense.
(such a clever, creative story, in which Kylo gets more than he bargained for in Hux)
Stand Inside Your Love by _Melodic_(Sae) aka @mugglelissa
What began as two lonely souls finding a clever way out of their social and familial obligations soon turned into something else—something inexplicable, inevitable, and irrevocable.
(a lovely and atmospheric Regency era fic full of pining, tender new feelings and first times)
Just A Crush by @thesunandoceanblue
Mitaka felt a hot flush travel through his body. In his mind, he was already replacing Ren’s name with his own.
Mitaka accidentally overhears Ren and Hux celebrating Ren’s return.
(Mitaka never catches a break. This is cute, and hot.)
Massage Therapy by@thewightknight
Armitage Hux always made the best of his annual physical/mental examination. It was almost a vacation every year. The thing he looked forward to the most every year was a visit to a local parlor. Every year, everything was always the same, and that’s how he liked it. But this year, things did not go according to plan.
(a great dose of sexy and feels, as always)
Hey Baby, Can You Bleed Like Me? by Kyluxtrashpit aka @apostaterevolutionary
Kylo is no stranger to being a fuck up, but he never expected to fuck up killing himself. Trapped in a mental health ward with the full belief that there’s nothing they can do for him, he finds unexpected solace in his asshole roommate. (attempted suicide themes)
(this fic is 10/10 – socked me right in the gut but left me with a smile on my face)
Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot by @glass-oceans
When environmental controls on the Finalizer break down, getting close is the last thing on Hux’s mind, but the first on Kylo’s.
(Kylo is such a wonderful mess, and Hux is so put upon. Loved it.)
(I already have a second and third post in this series, because there are just SO MANY FICS I can’t put them all in just one list!! I have a ton of stuff on my to read list as well, so keep an eye peeled for some great stuff!)
