concerning with hux’s name, wait wait did someone really thought we ship old brendol with kylo????

Ahahaha gods, nonny, I hope not!!! I think (clearly) the person in my comments must have been new, and assumed that I just wrote that 12k story and all 30 of the other ones in my AO3 collection without knowing Hux’s first name / the difference between Hux and Brendol. Would have been just cute except that invalid correction was 90% of the comment. But, yeah, I can imagine new folks (bless you, hi hello we are glad you’re here!) will be confused by all the pre-Armitagegate Huxes.

What a time to be alive.

The newcomer’s guide to kylux

agent-nemesis:

It seems that with The Last Jedi, we have many new kylux shippers in the fandom. The last two years have been, erm, interesting for kylux, so here are a few things that you should know.

  • Hux was not given a first name until “Armitage Day” in 2016, where he was named in one of the pre-TFA novels. This is why there are many different first names for him in early fanfics. Hux’s father’s name is Brendol. Before the reveal of Armitage, people often called Hux “Brendol” in fics.
  • “techienician” is the name given to the Matt/Techie pairing. Matt is from Matt the radar technician (Saturday Night Live sketch “Undercover Boss: Starkiller Base”) and Techie from the movie Dredd (played by Domhnall Gleeson). Techie has recently been named Bill Huxley in the recent Dredd comics.
  • “benarmie” is the name given to (usually young) Ben Solo paired with (usually) cadet Armitage Hux.
  • “Kylo Amidala” is Kylo in traditional Naboo clothing, usually working in politics rather than being a First Order enforcer.
  • There is a huge range from soft kylux to hard kylux, with many things in between and tons of AUs. There is something for everyone here!
  • Two useful prompt blogs are @softkyluxkinks and @kyluxhardkinks.
  • Mid-2016, things got a bit weird after something known as “dildo discourse 2k16″.
  • Oviposition means egg insertion. It’s prevalent in the fandom.
  • There have been many discourses. Size discourse (who is bigger, Kylo or Hux?), top/bottom discourse, dildo discourse, freckle discourse (does Hux have freckles or not? some people got very worked up over this), etc.
  • Robe Hux and the ice blue couch come from Delilah Dawson’s Phasma novel.
  • Millicent is Hux’s ginger cat. She is the invention of Pablo Hidalgo, a Disney creative executive.
  • A huge portion of the fandom is queer (maybe even the majority), so don’t believe any bullshit you may hear from the antis.

I probably forgot stuff, so please reblog with any additions you may think of!

Hi! I am kinda new to the Kylux pair and could you rec fics where in Hux is a force user or force sensitive. The longer the fic the better.

Ahhh welcome to the fandom, darling! ❤️ Here:

  • King of Corners by @versus-a-blank-paper (WIP)
    Kylo
    messes with Hux’s head. He fails. Left with a General that doesn’t know
    his own name, Kylo does the only reasonable thing: commandeers a ship
    and makes for the far side of the galaxy with a memoryless Hux in
    tow. Or: mercenary Kylo and sniper Hux on a galactic road trip.

  • constant by finalizer
    “You did that,” Ren murmurs.
    “Did what?”
    “The blockade —” Ren starts, “ — you pushed me out of your head.”

  • Order in Chaos by @ezlebe
    “Do you understand, Hux?” Supreme Leader says, leaning
    down from that impressive height with his usual glower. “This boy is
    invaluable to the First Order.”“Yes, Supreme Leader,” Hux
    answers, nodding once and determinedly looking forward. He doesn’t
    understand how this awkward, dark haired boy could be invaluable to
    anything; he’s all ears and has cried every night for the last three
    standard weeks.Supreme Leader lifts his chin, countenance poised
    and inarguable. “Your sacrifice is not hollow, nor meaningless. You will
    assuredly follow him into greatness.”

  • Signal Flares by GatsbyGirl99
    Kylo’s fingers tightened. The air left Hux’s lungs. The fear broke the
    surface as Hux’s skin lost what little color it had to begin with.
    Or at least that’s what should have happened

  • Rising Sun by goldandobsidiann
    In a fit of rage, a
    newly-promoted General Hux makes the worst possible remark at the worst
    possible time, breaking one of the Supreme Leader’s sacred
    commandments. Kylo Ren sees that he pays restitution. Porn and power
    plays abound
    .

  • Eyes Of Fire And Ice by @evilspaceboyfriends-trash
    When Kylo Ren travels to the Finalizer to become its co-commander he
    feels a Presence in the Force unlike anything he has ever felt before.
    It is powerful enough to destroy worlds. But as fast as it appears it
    disappears. Weeks later it suddenly makes a new appearance and this time Kylo is
    dead bent to find out where it comes from. He is however not prepared
    for what he finds.

  • Promises, Promises by @noirsongbird
    The
    whispers of the Dark Side did not just include promises of power. For
    Ben Solo, they also include promises of a handsome stranger.Or: A very
    literal take on the idea of “seduction” by the Dark Side
    .

  • Don’t Look Back Into The Sun by @claricechiarasorcha
    The Emperor has taken his throne, but not without price.And now, Kylo Ren would have him pay it in full.
  • Impeccable Timing, General by @stardestroyervigilance
    After a mishap ends up with Kylo Ren and General Hux taken as prisoners
    under some clever captors Hux discovers something about life changing
    about himself.



  • Janus by @misayawriting
    Kylo
    Ren, for all his savagery and lack of emotional control, has somehow
    managed to awaken Hux’s latent Force sensitivity. Hux masks and takes
    advantage of his newfound ability to gain the upper hand in their
    relationship
    .

  • To The Ends Of Stars by My_Trex_has_fleas
    Hux takes Kylo Ren hostage after the collapse of Starkiller Base and they go on the run with everyone after them.
  • A Different Kind Of Training by reeby10
    Hux woke up to his belongings floating around the room. Again.

  • Regretful Message by @tyrannysaurusrex
    Hiding from the Resistance should be easy when they already believe
    they’ve killed you. But when you’re General Armitage Hux and you can’t
    seem to recall becoming Emperor to the entire Galaxy, it becomes a
    little more difficult.

  • Dead Man’s Hand by @windlion​ (WIP)
    After Starkiller,
    Kylo is recalled by Snoke to complete his training. Hux is recalled to
    live up to his part of the bargain he struck years ago.

  • in your orbit by lukitari
    Ben Organa never becomes Kylo Ren. Force-sensitive people around the
    galaxy aren’t all treated the same. Life isn’t easy for anyone.

  • In My Veins by @ellstra
    Hux had been hiding his Force-sensitivity for years, using it sparsely
    and with great caution, but it only takes one mission gone wrong and all
    his carefully built defences shatter to protect Kylo. Snoke is always
    eager to use up all power he can get.

  • Ties by @francisthegreat
    Backpfeifengesicht: (n.) German. Literally, a face in need of a fist.A story in which the Force endeavors to smash two very unhappy people into each other.

  • Projection by @bubbaknowlton
    At around six months pregnant, Hux becomes mildly force sensitive through the baby, but doesn’t realize that’s what it is.

  • Consumed By The Dark by @the-cookie-of-doom
    There’s something inside of Hux. Something dangerous, sinister.
    Something that doesn’t have a name, only power. A power Hux doesn’t know
    he has, or wants. Until Snoke unlocks it.

  • Wake Up, Sleeper by @penpenhooray
    It would seem odd that the Resistance should always
    seem to get their information just a bit faster than the First Order. Of
    course, General Leia Organa knows the risks her mole is taking by
    sending her life saving information.Luke was confident in his
    padawan’s ability to infiltrate the First Order to destroy it from the
    inside, and he trusted his pupil’s instincts.And Hux? Well, he’s
    spent over a decade as a sleeper agent within the bowels of the First
    Order when he feels an awakening in the Force, and he’s decided it’s
    time to begin the destruction of the First Order. And he’s going to
    bring Ben back to the Light if it’s the last thing he does.
