“a storm is coming… And the darkness will surround us. But there’s a light, just a spark, that enlightens the fire in us all.”

So my second big project is finally finished and i have to say i am proud. Proud of the style change, the amount of work i put in these projects and the way they come out. I still got a long way to go but this for sure will be fun.

Tell me, what do you think so far?

“It’ll probably go away on its own,” said Ren, helping himself to another piece of toast in the officers’ mess.

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. Is it so wrong that, for now, they feel compelled to cling to what little comfort they can find?

Hux tries to protest at first but soon ends up in bed with Kylo, screaming just as loud as the boys previously.

Stars In Our Wake by @griesly : Rated E, No Archive Warnings Apply

Modern AU – 

As the owner of Flagship Books, Hux has his life perfectly in order until professional disappointment Kylo Ren barges into his shop and unfortunately, his life. Kylo is a terrible employee, Hux is a worse employer, and this arrangement goes about as well as you’d expect.

ohtze:

I’ve never been a redemption stan, but I gotta say I hope Kylo gets the help he needs and the happy ending he deserves cuz honestly he’s the most miserable Star Wars character I’ve ever seen. Even kill-the-younglings-Anakin had a support base with people who tried to help him, but brickhouse-with-a-baby-face has nothing. Like he’s completely alone and everyone’s given up on him and he fails at everything. He got separated from his family, his uncle basically tried to kill him for being depressed, he was traumatized by a child predator and killed his dad because said predator told him to, and the predator was all he had. He’s completely emotionally stunted, and the only thing he’s got going for him is raw physical power which makes people pass him around like a sack of meat. JESUS, this dude has NEVER had a break, no WONDER he’s a hot mess, he’s literally being punished for the karmic mess his grandfather left behind JUST GIVE HIM A CHANCE-

Keep sending them in! I’ll actually work on the first list probably today or tomorrow and queue up a couple more! 🙂

arsebottom:

ok so it’s like almost 4am but i needed to get this out of my head so have some one-sided kylux where hux tries to explain through chess that they should get rid of snoke, and kylo being is oblivious to everything as per usual

Kylo moves his pawn forward, already bored with the game but still makes an half-assed effort to look like he is actually trying. He takes a sip from his wine and turns his attention back to Hux on the other side of the board, who is trying so hard to hide his binge-drinking.

He only fills his glasses a quarter of the amount he does, but he downs them in one go every time he thinks Kylo is not looking, placing the empty glass back on the table with less grace every time.

Kylo doesn’t mention his slowly forming problem and in exchange Hux doesn’t mention that he really doesn’t actually have anything better to do as a pastime than to watch him develop it. A match made in hell.

They both like to pretend like they made that decision themselves, like the company of each other was by choice and not dictated through their loneliness. It’s miserable, but it’s something, even if he feels like they are trying just a little too hard to play civil. Enough for it to feel fake every time he opens his mouth.
