Summary: Working towards a PhD in engineering was difficult enough without Hux on his thesis proposal committee. But with his funding at stake, Ben would do anything – even write inane weekly reports, meet personally with the man, and put up with his power trips and ego. The worst part was that as insufferable as Hux was, Ben couldn’t get him out of his head.
Additional Tags/Warnings: Grad School AU, General Hux is not nice, fantasies, handjobs, inappropriate use of power, Alternate Universe – Modern Setting, look at these snarky af assholes, art by punkidrawsstuff, Bottom Hux, grad student Ben, I promise this is not a science dump, Belligerent Sexual Tension, Hux has a crush
@favomancer’s ’The Fox & the Wolf’ series. Accurate af characterisation. Reads like poetry & cuts like glass; I’m still not done howling into the void, & my poor heart may never recover. This is THE BEST take on ‘canon’ Kylux, imo, & I will forever recommend it.
@bettydays‘ ’Honeycomb’ series. I’m in love with the characterisation of Ben Solo in this, & the relationships between characters are so well-written, especially in regards to Leia & Ben.
@lingua-mortua‘s ’Adoro te devote’. Jesus wept. I wept. You’ll weep too. The scenery descriptions are vivid & beautiful; you will hear bees, you will smell lavender, you will feel the sunshine on your skin. Pure art.
@generallyhuxurious‘ ’Closed Circuit’. *Lies down on the floor & stares at the ceiling, quietly contemplating life* There are several moments, beautifully captured in a paragraph each, that sucker-punched me right in the feels.
Please, please read these, especially the first & last ones, as they haven’t received the positive fandom attention that they so desperately deserve.
I went and looked through my bookmarks to find a few that I really really loved, that work for people if they haven’t read a lot of kyluxand want some recs of older stuff.
having a rough time so here’s a prompt fill for @kyluxsoftkinks:
Insistently seeking physical contact for comfort. Like, grabbing the other’s hand, curling up in their lap, just trying to be close to the other in any way. Doesn’t have to be canon universe, bonus points if Hux is clingy too 🙂

no one would ever consider hux an affectionate individual. he scowls more than he smiles. the only person he ever hugs is his mother. he carries with him an invisible, wide berth of personal space that most people pick up on and accommodate.
most people. but not his new roommate. whom he found on craigslist.
The Mr and Mrs Smith version of Klyux? Sadly I don’t know the film well, but it would be an interesting concept. Someone has to have done it already right?
