Not entirely sure AO3 is feeling healthy tonight! Hopefully this stays up, along with all the comments I wrote today. A small bit of kylux, written last fall for the @carefulrenzine. The zine was awesome, and this was a lot of fun to write!

Illustration for the @carefulrenzine, celebrating the 10th anniversary of Kylux!

I imagined a modern AU where Kylo and Hux are coworkers at this company, First Order S.A. (call it whatever you want). They hold these high-ranking, executive positions and all that shit, and they make sure their employees see that there’s bad blood between them, a lot of competitiveness. But once the curtain comes down, Kylo ditches those pretentious businessman suits and enjoys dressing in tight, tiny clothes, showing off his ass and exhibiting himself just to tease Armitage.

Schism & Backdraft

My main story Schism - and supplemental piece Backdraft - for the Careful, Ren Kylux 10th Anniversary Zine have now been posted on AO3! Everyone should give a big round of applause to @darthastris for all the work they did assembling the @carefulrenzine! It is a masterpiece.

Heed the tags! I was writing for the darkside, haha.

Along with my main piece I also drew a trading card commemorating one of the greatest Kylux moments referencing comic panels from Star Wars Adventures #30

I'm so happy to finally share the full page illustration I did for the incredible Careful Ren Zine, for the 10th anniversary of Kylux!

It was my first time participating in a zine and even though I was scared when I was asked to contribute and thought I wasn't good enough for such a project, I loved the whole experience so much! Met amazing people, had fun. It was great.

Thank you @darthastris for organising it and for giving me this opportunity. I hope we'll all get together for the 20th anniversary ❤️
