“This is not how we end. I will find you, in this universe and every other that will follow, until we have our happy ending. I will burn worlds to the ground until all left is you and me and stars above. I love you, that all matters now and I was fool for ever doubting that. You are my crown, and my Empire will be complete only with you by my side as you were meant to be.”

Hux seems determined, like a man on a mission. When he leans closer, he kisses Ben fully on his mouth. The kiss means to say, I miss you, I love you and I am sorry without any words being spoken out loud.

It ends before it has a chance to truly start and Ben grasps for air. He wants to shake his head, to say that nothing can change between two of them. But he cannot. Before their ways parted, they laid in the darkness and traced each other’s skin. Ben remembers how he told his goodbye to Hux that second time and wished he could return back.“This is not how we end,” Hux repeats. “You said you loved me. And the next morning you were gone.”

“You were meant to take the crown. ” Ben cannot bear to look at him. “I didn’t belong by your side. I wouldn’t be allowed to. And my sister needed me.”

“Your sister is heartless creature,” Hux corrects him darkly. “Elizabeth is hardly a person you knew. She loves you but her love comes with a certain price. Ren-”

“Ben,” corrects him Ben quietly. “I am not him anymore.”

“Ben,” Hux tastes those words on his tongue and the presses their foreheads together and grabs Ben’s chin, so the younger man has to look him in the eye.

“You belong with me. You’ve always belonged with me. I want you by my side and I intend to fight for you. Your place is here.” His face is pale and eyes sharp. “As my equal. As my husband.” And then he is gone, leaving Ben grasping in now empty corridor, with the kiss lingering on his lips like a promise.

-IMPERIUM

absolutecreed:

It was almost…odd seeing him like this.

Kylo Ren, the Master of the Knights of Ren…struck down with a sickness.

Hux didn’t even know it was possible for Ren to get sick, with him having the Force and whatnot. But despite him having the kriffing Force, he was only human–and humans got sick.

He’d done the stupid thing (though Hux knew he was the pot calling the kettle black, as he’d done the same thing as well), and tried to work through his sickness, until it finally took him down. He had stalked onto the bridge, and he and Ren had their usual arguements. But when Ren spun on his heel to turn away, he wobbled. He managed to make two unsteady steps towards the door, before collapsing in a black heap.

Motionless.

Once the stunned shock faded, someone finally called medical, and Kylo Ren was whisked away to the medbay. Hux found himself following. Why not? While Ren was a man-child who threw tantrums at every opportunity, he was still his co-commander. He needed to see if he had to issue a quarantine or if this was just an illness bound to the Knight of Ren.

Turns out, while what he had was mildly contagious, it wasn’t enough to keep him in the medbay. Though Hux suspected they didn’t want Ren waking up in the medbay and wrecking it, for the umpteenth time. Even the medical droids were being skittish around the unconscious Ren, giving him a few injections, and hooking him up to a mobile IV, which was giving him fluids and vitamins.

With that done, Hux followed them as they transported Ren to his quarters…only to find them a mess. In some delirious fit (or maybe just a normal tantrum, Hux didn’t know), he’d taken his lightsaber and slashed not only his walls, but his bed. Only scorched remains were left; he’d completely trashed it. He didn’t even have a sofa in the sparsely decorated room.

Hux decided then to have Ren transferred to his quarters. He’d keep an eye on him there, and work as well. He’d be able to tell the medbay if anything changed with him easy enough.

And that’s where he found himself now.

Hux had pulled up a chair by Ren’s bedside, and worked from his data pad. The man barely moved, other than his slightly uneven breathing. Hux found himself pulling off his glove and laying it gently against Ren’s forehead. He nearly jerked it back, feeling how warm his skin was. The Knight of Ren was normally warm (he was practically a walking heater, for kriff’s sake), but this…was unnatural, even for him.

Setting his data pad aside, Hux went into his ‘fresher and soaked a washcloth with cool water. He recalled Rae Sloane doing the same thing for him, when he got sick under her care. The memory brought a rare smile to his face, as he wrung out the cloth, coming back into his room. Ren had shifted slightly, but not by much. He was still sweating, even though his robes had been removed, and he was in a pair of loose pants and a sleeveless shirt. How the medbay found those clothes, that fit someone his size perfectly, was beyond him.

Just as he set the cool washcloth on Ren’s forehead, his eyes snapped open with a gasp, and a hand lashed out, grabbing Hux’s wrist in an almost crushing grip. He shouldn’t have this much strength, for one so riddled with fever. Still, Hux couldn’t help but let out a soft hiss of pain, feeling his poor wrist being crushed by Ren’s grip.

“Relax.” he ground out, looking over at Ren who was staring at him with wide, unfocused eyes. For a split moment of fear, he thought he was going to get tossed against the opposite wall, being thought of as an enemy. Instead, Ren’s gaze softened a little, his eyes still unfocused. Yet his grip around Hux’s wrist didn’t slacken, “You passed out, you kriffing idiot. You’re sick. High fever. You’re in my quarters, because you trashed yours. Great job, by the way.”

“Yours…” Ren croaked out, slowly relaxing. Though, judging by the way his eyes were fluttering, he was losing his fight with sleep, “Sick….oh…right…I was…”

Finally his hand fell away from Hux’s wrist, who couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh of relief, as he adjusted the cool washcloth on his forehead, “Rest. You need it. I’m here, if you need anything.”

As he pulled back, he saw that Ren’s eyes were closed once again, his features passive. And that made Hux pause a bit. He’d been so used to seeing Ren with that damned mask, that it was very strange to see him without it. His features were too boyish for a brute like him. Full lips, prominent nose, wavy soft hair, and warn brown eyes that practically bared his soul….

Hux realized he was staring, and blushed darkly, quickly sitting back down in the chair next to the bed. He knew he shouldn’t stay so close to him, not with him being sick and all. He knew he was going to catch whatever Ren had, he just knew it. But…in the meantime…at least he knew where he was. He knew Hux was here. He didn’t want to know how Ren would react, if he found himself alone…

He jumped, as Ren made a soft noise. Thinking he woke up, he glanced over at him, only to see his passive features twisted into something uncomfortable, as he shifted about the bed. Large hands grasped at the covers, his noises turning more into whimpers and whines. Hux knew too well what this was–a nightmare. A fever-induced nightmare. …Which were some of the worst…

Unsure of what to do, he set his data pad aside before hesitantly reaching out and running his fingers through Ren’s hair. He recalled Sloane doing the same for him, when he had those delirious nightmares. A simple action, but it worked wonders on him. And her soothing voice seemed to cut through the nightmare, like a heated knife through butter. He wasn’t sure if his voice was soothing to Ren, but it was worth a shot…

“Relax…it’s just a dream…” he said softly, letting his fingers stroke along Ren’s hair slowly, rhythmically, “You’re safe…It’s okay…i’m here…Nothing can get you…It’s alright…”

He continued speaking soothingly to Ren, until he finally calmed down. Hux could hardly believe it. He couldn’t believe that had worked on this overgrown manchild. And yet, here he was, no longer tossing and turning in delirious discomfort.

But just as he pulled his hand away, Ren started to whine softly. Hux put his fingers back in Ren’s hair for a few moments, before pulling away again. Another whimper, that was only silenced when Hux’s hand returned to his head. He sighed…but he couldn’t help but smile softly at him, as he gathered his data pad back up. He could work with one hand, easy enough.

“…Rest well, Ren…” he said softly, stroking his hair, as he worked on reports on his data pad.

He missed the soft, content smile on Ren’s face.

Life Sentence, No Cellmate: Hux follows
orders and loses his way.

Ceasefire:
Barricaded in the darkness of Snoke’s
citadel as part of his final training, Kylo Ren senses a disturbance in the
Force: General Hux in great pain, captured and tortured by a faction of radical
traitors within the First Order. Ren seeks Snoke’s counsel and finds him gone.
He knows this is a test, and that he must resist the urge to assist the
General. And yet.

Under
the Ruins of a Walled City: Under house
arrest while Rey and Leia try to decide what to do with him, Ren makes secret
preparations for the final destruction of Snoke and writes letters to Hux that
receive no response. In prison awaiting sentencing for his war crimes, Hux
tries to summon some enthusiasm for his defense against the cries of billions
who want him executed.

This is the fanfic that turned me into a true-blooded Kylux trash. What started
out from Kylo and Hux hatefucking each other turned into something so beautiful
and so pure and so fucking lovely. And I love how every headcanon fit so well
with the canonverse. And Hollyhark’s characterization of the two is spot-on,
capturing Hux’s smart ass and Kylo’s smugness and snark perfectly! I can’t
really put into words how much I adore this fanfic series. I mean, it made me
feel so much emotions while reading it. If you haven’t read this series yet, I
suggest you read it as soon as you are able because it’s so good!

England, 1941 – Armitage Hux, pilot in the
Royal Air Force, has finally gotten command of his own squadron. But instead of
a group of well-trained British pilots, he gets twelve inexperienced American
volunteers. Among them is Ben Solo, a talented young fighter pilot who would be
the best in the squadron if it wasn’t for his temper. As they take to the
skies, Hux and Ben find themselves forming an illicit but powerful bond against
the backdrop of a world at war.

I love
historical novels and so I instantly fell in love with this fanfic. This fanfic
can break your heart and put it back to pieces. It’s beautiful. Totally
recommended even to non-Kyluxers and non-Star Wars fans.

Anakin Skywalker died honored and venerated as
a hero of the Galactic Republic after he and Jedi Master Mace Windu executed
Chancellor Palpatine—the heinous, clandestine Sith Lord. In the aftermath,
Padmé lived on husbandless on Naboo and dedicated her life to preserving democracy
and raising their children. Obi-Wan lived on to mentor Luke in the ways of the
Force and the Jedi, but never truly parted with Anakin, his slain Padawan and
oldest friend.

Our story finds Ben Solo burdened by the legacy
of a grandfather who he never met, the bitterness toward an absent father, and
the building resentment of a senator mother preoccupied with rising tensions in
the Senate. Ben confides in a boy a few years his senior, young Armitage Hux,
whose relationship with his father is so harrowing that he often wishes he were
dead. The universe perpetually pushes the boys together when they need it the
most. Is love enough to save Hux from his life of torture, enough to pull Ben
from falling farther than Anakin ever had?

I love
this take on Padawan Ben Solo; it’s so unique. He and Hux started as the cutest
friends and their love story is just so sweet and pure that it left me weaaaak.
I adore, adore, ADORE the characterization of both Armitage Hux and Ben Solo in
this.

I’m

Back in the days, Hux doesn’t have a first name. So fans gave him one :D)

The
Bodyguard by soliloquy

Rating:
Explicit

Ben Solo disappeared at age 17, running from
his family and every possible life he was being forced to chose from.
Politician like his mother, pilot and smuggler like his father, or a Jedi like
his uncle and grandfather before him.

After changing his name to Kylo Ren and
spending the last 8 years doing numerous varied jobs throughout the galaxy,
Kylo accepted the possibly dangerous but incredibly lucrative position of
bodyguard to the son of Senator Brendol Hux.

Kylo quickly learned his new job was going to
be both strange and challenging in ways he never expected.

AU
where Kylo works as Hux’s bodyguard. I love Kylo and Hux’s characterization
here and their dynamic here makes me feel giddy and fluffy inside.

His Own Halo by imochan

“What are you doing here,” he says,
finally. It almost makes him sober, the petulant effort of forcing it out
between the grit of his teeth.

“Heard there was some garbage that needed
carting off,” says Ren. Placid like the compressed, glassy center of a dark and
dying star.

“Right,” says Armitage, flicking open the clasp
on the holster of his blaster. “That’s it. You can definitely fucking leave.”

A fanfic where Hux was exiled after the
destruction of Starkiller Base and Kylo came to find him and take him back. It
had me feeling a lot of emotions and I got teary-eyed reading it.

Armitage Hux is a journalist for a scientific
magazine. However, when he must attend a presentation on something not
scientifically proven, he finds it difficult to keep his sharp tongue in check.
Doesn’t matter if the presenter is built like his wet dream man.

Adorable
and funny modern AU. One of the first Kylux fics I binge-read when I was still
new in the fandom. I love this so much.

By the time the events of SW:TFA unfold,
Armitage Hux and Kylo Ren are bitter exes. This is what happened before.

I love
this fanfic so much because it dwells on the bitterness and animosity between
Kylo and Hux in The Force Awakens. It’s a beautiful and well-written fanfic
that I definitely recommend.

Beside the open car door, there is a tall man

movement from the escapee, the man approaches. The soles of his yellow
flip-flop sandals slap and the ammo cartridges in his pink-blue striped shorts
rattle as he walks.

Lieutenant Hux gets a mission to pick up an
asset for the Supreme Leader from the ruins of a massacred temple, and the
entire course of his life is changed in one moment by the appearance of a
bloodstained boy who calls himself Ben. A series of meetings and chance
encounters throughout the years draw the two of them together again and again,
as their relationship shifts from almost friends to enemies to something else
entirely.

Another
excellent pre-TFA fanfic for those of you who yearn for “friends to enemies to
lovers” trope.

Hux is engaged to the man of his dreams.
There’s just one catch: he’s already married to his high school sweetheart, Ben

Ah, “soft

captivating, this fanfic would leave you bawling your eyes out (well, it did with

In a castle surrounded by a forest, lived a prince who became a monster. 

In a quiet village on the other side of the woods lived an unhappy young man with big dreams.

A Kylux Beauty and the Beast AU.

A BatB AU that surprisingly and wonderfully goes so well with Kylo and Hux. It reminded me of my childhood and my love for fairytales.
