Huxblush’s Underrated Kylux Fic Rec
(by popular demand here are 30 fics that deserve a whole lot of love from the fandom)
Underrated is taken to mean either works that aren’t “talked about” a lot in the fandom or works that have fewer hits and kudos than they deserve. Heed all tags before reading anything. Authors are tagged wherever possible (when I know who they are or their blog is stated on ao3). Thanks to anybody who sent me suggestions!
I Won’t Let You Die by rebelwerewolf
World War II AU in which Hux is an army doctor and he meets Kylo as his patient. Very good and it has a bonus happy ending despite the angsty themes and period typical homophobia and racism.
In Uncertain Lands by @courgette96
An interesting take on the slave!Kylo trope. Hux is more of a tribal war lord who rose out of the ashes of the factions of former imperials. Featuring Kylo as his attack dog/lover and bonus appearances from Poe and Leia as delegates from the New Republic.
Ex Machina by sual
AU set in the Star Wars universe in which Ben Solo never becomes Kylo Ren but is instead a weird droid nerd. The Resistance captures General Hux who turns out to be a sophisticated droid who used to be human. Very funny and very heartfelt.
All in a Day’s Work by thewightknight
Porn Studio AU. Hux is the put upon director who has to step in to film a scene with Kylo Ren when Poe Dameron is late for a shoot.
Hux’s Father is a Grade A douchecanoe. Ren gets possessive. Featuring some A+ bottom Hux and a whole lot of feels. I may have cried. Maybe. Shh.
Hux and Ben are seatmates on a transatlantic flight. Ben is a nervous traveller and Hux is thirsty af. Features making out during turbulence as a “distraction”.
Out of the Darkness, Light by @generallyhuxurious
A Miners Strike AU set in Yorkshire in the 80s. I could wax poetic about this fic for hours and it absolutely deserves way more love than it’s been getting. It’s super original and the characterisation is great. Read it please.
it don’t come in a shot glass by @cracktheglasses
Modern AU in which Kylo and Hux are neighbours in an apartment building. Hux has his life together. Kylo does not. Kylo is more than a little bit creepy but in a way that is more adorable than “potential serial killer”. Brilliant use of Millicent. Brilliant everything. Go read this.
Cell Block Jango by DittyWrites
Kylo and Hux defect from the First Order and turn to a life of space crime. Hux is captured and finds himself sharing a cell with Han Solo. Things only get more dramatic when Leia and Kylo turn up to collect their respective spouses.
The House of Paper Bones by @ofcorsetstrash
Alternate reality version of the Star Wars universe. Not at all what you think it’s going to be. Brilliantly original and a total wild ride while you try and figure out what the hell is going on and who the hell each character is meant to be.
