Hello! Did you know you can obtain like a whole shit ton of Kylux art in my shop?
All orders from my shop help me with my son Gigi’s expensive ass healthcare cause he has diabeetus. For real, I have to give him insulin shots twice a day every day. I told him to get a job, but he fell asleep on the floor instead. Also he snores.
Awwwwwww dang it nonny, I couldn’t pick just one! Check out my bookmarks on AO3! There are a lot of fics in there with those qualities! I’ve been collecting these bookmarks for years, and I’m always adding fics!
(I’ll take recommendations myself for this kind of story hahah!)
@kyluxxoxo Friday evening i thought of this. with the tats from a piece i made YEARS ago, more developed. plus breakfast in bed, plus Hux admiring his work on his Kylo.
sorry i’m late! here’s hoping i’m on time this week!
Armitage Hux/Kylo Ren / Words: 1805 / Rating: Teen and Up
After being pursued by the Resistance, Kylo and Hux crash land on a planet. When they make it to safety and find a place to wait for rescue, they realize there’s only one bed. Oh no. What ever are they going to do?
As Grand Marshal to the First Order, Hux prides himself on being correct in most scenarios. This is not one of them.
(Or, Hux doesn’t pack beach clothes for a trip to the beach, and Kylo must take care of him when he overheats. Luckily, their true feelings emerge under the spray of cooling water, and Hux lets Kylo be right just this once.)
Thomas McGregor/Adam Sackler / Words: 5320 / Rating: Explicit
When a minor disaster befalls Thomas’ McGregor’s neat and tidy flat, his new neighbour Adam Sackler is there to help. Unable to stay in his own place, Thomas spends the night at Adam’s and gets warmed up in more ways than one.
Armitage Hux gets to spend his summer vacation with his best friend Ben Solo, who he’s been in love with for several years. The problem? They’re both omegas!
Ren had never acted like this before, not even when near an omega in heat.
In fact, Hux could distinctly remember a time when Lieutenant Mitaka’s heat had unfortunately coincided with Ren’s return from a planetside operation. Hux was safe as he always remembered to take his suppressants each month. Kylo Ren, however, did not. Mitaka had been unable to resist the strong, virile scent of an unsuppressed alpha nearby and had gotten a bit handsy. Ren hadn’t reacted well – he’d nearly strangled the lieutenant to death before Hux intervened.
He couldn’t possibly understand how easily Ren had rejected the omega’s attention. That kind of restraint was something to be envied. The suppressants always gave Hux a terrible migraine, so he wouldn’t miss them if he suddenly found himself no longer requiring them.
The carcinoula couldn’t possibly have triggered this, so what had? More importantly, why had Ren come to him in this state? He should’ve gone to the Med center first – or if he was truly desperate, to some random omega. Not Hux.
Summary: Rome, 1605: A Cardinal desperate to secure his legacy or else lose everything is introduced to a man who is reportedly the most skilled artist alive in Rome, and bemoans the fact that his fate lies in the charcoal-smudged hands of such a miserable creature. But, with tensions building within the Cardinalate, he must find a way to work with the tempestuous and anti-social painter, even as Rome threatens to crumble around them.
Tags: Historical AU, Slow Burn, Catholic Iconography, Religious Discussion, Discussions of Sex Work, names have been changed to fit the setting
Notes: Names have been changed because “Armitage Hux” does not sound like the name of a man born in a small fishing village on the western coast of Italy in 1571. This might take some getting used to, but I hope you will bear with me long enough for that.
A KEY:
General Armitage Hux becomes “Cardinal Deacon Armando Uccello”. ‘Armando’ means ‘soldier’ and ‘Uccello’ means ‘bird’, so: war bird. Also, ‘Hux’ comes from Anglo-Saxon ‘Ucca’, and I thought the two were similar enough.
Kylo Ren becomes “Camilo Reni”. ‘Camilo’ means ‘temple servant’, and ‘Reni’ means ‘reborn’.
Supreme Leader Snoke becomes “Cardinal Bishop Scipione Sforza”. ‘Scipione’ means ‘scepter’, and ‘Sforza’ means ‘force’.
All that said, I hope you enjoy this! I’ve been laboring over it for a while, as some of you know. This is dedicated to @blue-crow whom I can’t tag for some reason, but who was the last donor to my partner’s surgery fund before the surgery occurred.
Updates will be ON THE SECOND SUNDAY OF EACH MONTH.
Thanks everyone!

Palazzo Suprema, Quirinale, Rome, 1605
Some wings of the grand palazzo were still under construction. Beyond the nearly full-length windows, the gardens were being groomed to perfection by teams of day-laborers, all sweating and shouting in the afternoon sun. It was much cooler in the well-appointed corridors of the estate, with its red marble columns and slate tile floor, but Armando Uccello was more aware of what he couldn’t see: the ruins of Constantine’s baths, those crumbling bricks forming a labyrinthine catacomb under his feet, beneath the main floor of his mentor’s ever-expanding estate. He imagined that, to visitors, the great Emperor’s footsteps still echoed in these halls, and that Cardinal Bishop Scipione Maria Sforza del Summimundo had chosen this spot, at the base of Rome’s most commanding hill and with a view of the papal piazza, for a reason.
The floor absorbed more sound than those of the polished marble chapels to which he’d become accustomed. Enough so, he didn’t hear the approach of another Cardinal until the man was nearly upon him. Uccello bowed his head in respect.
“Venerable brother,” he said, as was customary. The other Cardinal only nodded, without looking at him, and scurried past. Uccello straightened his posture, grit his teeth. For men of God, some of these Cardinals were remarkably uncharitable, stingy even with common courtesy. Well. The rest of the College could think what they liked about him, for now. His cap was as red as theirs were.
