I’ve fallen so hard for the idea of Hux as a sniper, so here’s a design for what he could wear in the field. Bonus vibroblades for close encounters!

The destruction of the Supremacy uncovers a baffling secret: Snoke’s clone laboratory. Finding only two viable clones, General Hux integrates them into the First Order, “adopting” Techie and leaving Matt to a lesser position so they’ll never meet. Force forbid they make the same mistakes as he with Kylo Ren.

But fate finds a way, and Hux is powerless to stop it.

GINGERPILOT WEEK DAY 3 - SAND

Poe cracked open one eye and both lips to wet, soft sand seeping into any available space.

Fuck. "Bleh!" He sputtered and spat out light brown mud and scrabbled his hands over his face. As he bolted upright, he waited for his eyesight to adjust to the night, and took stock of his situation.

His shoes and socks were missing. No, his socks and Ben's precious Louboutins. He'd fallen from the restaurant's fishing dock into the ocean, weighted down by his clothes. He smelled like brine and misery.

"Fuck," he said out loud this time. Better for him to have lost to an angry sea than wash up like a beached dolphin. Death got him out of a thousand-dollar debt to replace those damn shoes.

How did I get here, though? Last he remembered before he blacked out, he was on a downward trajectory.

Why don't you ask the naked man over there staring at you?

He was long, pale, and newborn naked. Fully grown, and cute with his short red hair matted to his head. Sitting on his knees, hands in his lap, he studied Poe like a museum exhibit. Hint of a smile, shadows in his eyes. Poe wished for more light to better discern this stranger.

Then he remembered the fin emerging with the other redhead from the water. So maybe they... he...

"Did you pull me ashore?"

Naked Man nodded. "My name is Armitage."

"Armitage." Poe blinked away sand and focus on the man's eyes, but with the moonlight adding glow to his chest that's where Poe's line of vision landed. "Are you a fish man?"

Armitage tilted his head. "I'm mer."

"A merman. Half man, half fish."

"No, just full mer," Armitage said. "Are you a dog man?"

Poe laughed. "What? Of course not. Why would you ask that?"

"You asked a silly question. I thought it was my turn."

"Oh." Poe supposed that made sense, given he was talking to a merman. He watched Armitage shift in place, and paused on the mer's lap. If he could switch out fins for legs on land, what else did he...

"Hey," he said, "I was wearing very expensive shoes when I fell off the dock."

"These?" Armitage reached behind him, dusting the sand off Ben's Louboutins. Wet and briny, but nonetheless salvageable if Poe could get them to a repair shop.

He reached for them when Armitage held them away. Well, shit. Who knew mer were into blackmail. "I really need those back," he pleaded. "They're not mine. If you want a reward, I can get you some crab claws from the buffet."

Armitage shook his head. "I don't want food."

"Okay, well..."

"I want a mate."

gingerpilot week 2026 surfing

They met at a surfing event. Poe didn't know anyone, but people seemed friendly, and the drinks were good. Hux was alone by the table then, leaning on it, sipping something from his glass. Looking out of place. He certainly seemed like the most unapproachable person in the whole room, but Poe was always up to the challenge. "Hi! I am Poe. Poe Dameron. I am…" "New surfing teacher." Hux finished for him, "I heard." Poe grinned. "Yes, I am. And you? Are you learning or…" "I am Hux. I teach windsurfing." Redhead glanced at him. "Oh! Oh, that's cool. Wait. The black and red sail this morning, was it you?" Hux nodded, "Man. Those were some sick moves you pulled off." Usually, by then, people would start talking. About techniques or new equipment or anything really. Hux just nodded and stayed silent. "Do you come here often?" Hux smiled, amused, sipping his drink, and Poe mentally slapped himself. Really? "To the only bar that serves food that is edible? Everyday." "Right." Poe took a sip of his drink, and suddenly his mind came up with something brilliant. "Do you think I could try? On the board with the sail? It's fascinating." Hux considered him for a few seconds and then nodded. "You can come over around 4 pm. I will show you the basics, and we will see." "It's set then!”

*******

The lesson went well. Hux discovered that Poe was a surprisingly good student, and he couldn't deny the fact that Dameron was also attractive. Which was… Unfortunate. Hux sighed, mixing his drink as they were sitting on the beach. "So… Where are you staying?" Hux glanced at Poe. "Oh, I have a tent. On the camping site, you know the one that is down the road? It's like ten minutes from here." Hux stared at him. "You live in a tent for two months?" "Well, it was cheap, and it's an adventure, right?" Poe grinned. Hux grimaced. "Right." He said, drinking another sip of the gin. No tent was out of question. "Well." He stood up. "Come on then." Poe blinked, looking at him. "To where?" "To my place. I am not getting fucked in the tent. I am not twenty anymore." Poe stared at him, his mouth forming an ‘oh,’ he blinked, processing what he had just heard, and then quickly got up to his feet. His glass tipped over. "Shit." Hux chuckled, amused, and picked up the glass and returned it to the table. "I am.. um… Where… Is your place?" "I rent a flat. It's five minutes away. Are you allergic to cats?" "No? No. Do you have a cat?" "Yes. But don't get your hopes high, she will hate you." Poe laughed. "Alright. Um… Let's… Let's go then?" Hux smiled. Poe chuckled, "Does it make me look stupid?" "Uhm." Hux nodded with a smile. " You were very obvious." "No, I wasn't! " "Mhm, very subtly checking me out, huh?" "Hey! I was just… Making sure I have the right stance on the board." "How convenient." Poe sighed and smiled, following Hux. They get to the flat. "Looks fancy." "It's nothing special." Hux unlocked the door and opened it, stepping inside. An orange cat quickly ran to them. "Oh, she's so cute." Poe crouched down. "Hello, little pumpkin." "As I said, she is not very…" Hux frowned, looking at how Millicent lay down next to Poe, stretching herself while Poe was petting her. "What a sweet little princess. I think she likes me." Hux stared at them and shook his head, taking out the cat food. "Look, Armitage! She really … Ouch. Ouch! Ah.. shit… Sorry, sorry." Hux smiled under his nose. That's more like it. Poe stood up, looking at the scratch mark on his hand. "Well, she liked me for a solid two minutes." "It's a record anyway." Hux put down the food bowl on the floor. "Lock the door, please." Poe nodded. When he turned around again, he was pulled into a kiss. "Shower first," Hux murmured into his lips. Poe nodded, returning the kiss. He was dragged into the bathroom.

Poe moved out of the camping site to Hux’s flat two days later.

GINGERPILOT WEEK, DAY 2 - SINKING

Armitage watched the pretty man topple backward into the ocean, cutting through the surface like a giant, two-legged rock. He slipped back into the water and treaded, waiting. Eventually his would-be conquest would guppy paddle to the top for air and they could become mates.

He shouldn't fault the pretty man for the poor escape attempt, though. Armitage had come on strong, hopping onto the deck for a better look, but in his defense the tactic had worked for his brothers.

Tekkii rolled in with the surf on a California beach, sliding right into a volleyball net. A big blond in red trunks was about to pound on a white ball when he tripped over Tekkii's fins.

Ztenz leaped onto a fishing boat off the coast of Maryland. The one-handed occupant lost an entire cooler of blue crabs but Ztenz made it up to him.

And young Ned was just sunning himself on the Jersey Shore when a bus driver got distracted and rammed a telephone pole.

Last Armitage heard, they were all happy and thriving with their new human mates. He wanted the same thing, and the moment he saw this one break away from the crowd and wobble down the dock he'd made up his mind.

When the first set of bubbles broke on the surface next to him, he got worried.

Silly human. Silly me, for picking one who can't swim.

Armitage turned fin up and barreled downward to the rescue.

GINGERPILOT WEEK, DAY 1 - MERFOLK

Poe Dameron sat alone at a large round table littered with half-empty flutes and plates stained with icing and crumbs. The laughter and music of couples in love surrounded and suffocated him.

Ben danced with his bride, Rey. Finn swayed with his girlfriend, Rose. Even Ben's ancient Uncle Chewie and Aunt Maz took a turn around the floor, defying their ages.

Han and Leia, Kaydel and Jannah, Snap and Jessika, Luke and Din. Everybody under the tent overlooking the oceanfront had somebody, except Poe.

Poe had a table full of champagne glasses, abandoned when the DJ called out all the couples to dance.

He picked three at random, drained them, and stood.

"If anybody asks, I'm getting some air," he told a server in passing. Nobody would ask, of course. This night wasn't about him, and had Ben not asked Poe to be his best man he'd have avoided it altogether.

The restaurant hosting the reception opened out to a narrow fishing dock ending several yards into the sea. It was closed to the public tonight because of the wedding, but Poe saw no harm in walking out to admire the view. Slow steps in tight dress shoes brought him to calm, dark waters layered in waving moonlight. The view stretched out forever, with only two lampposts on either side of the dock to guide his vision.

He saw sharp shadows in the distance and guessed dolphins. Even they traveled in pairs.

"Everybody's got somebody," Poe said, and sighed. Sitting on the edge of the dock, he swung his feet and grazed one patent leather toe across the water's surface. Yeah, forget about losing this borrowed pair of Louboutins in the event of a shoelace mishap.

He removed the shoes and socks, set them aside, and felt the insides of his suit coat pockets for Ben's cigarettes. He didn't smoke, but it was late and he was alone and miserable so why not match a new hobby to his mood?

No lighter, he realized after jamming a wrinkled filter between his lips. "Fuck," he muttered around the cigarette, and stared down at his bare feet. That's when he saw it.

Rather, him.

A pale face crowned in ginger hair turned gold by the lamppost, looked up at him from the water. Smooth and unblinking, lips pursed as though to speak, eyes glowing and turning a curious stare.

Cute, and obviously a bit weird to be night swimming.

Poe waved the cigarette at him. "I don't suppose you have a lighter on you?" he asked.

Ginger shook his head. Behind him, something wide and flat broke the surface and Poe scooted back, thinking at first a large hungry fish had come to claim his new friend. The giant fin rose high above the young man, showing off a bit of iridescent orange and red in its connected body.

Poe's eyes hurt from how they widened. He dropped the cigarette and it floated for two seconds before disappearing into the dark.

"Is that..." He looked at the man. "Are you?"

The fin lowered as Ginger shot his arms high above his head. He sprang for the edge of the deck and hoisted himself upward, allowing Poe to see him in full. A merman. An honest to Force, ginger-gold merman was flopping onto the deck beside him like it was a common occurrence.

Poe looked back at the restaurant, where couples danced and laughed and didn't acknowledge his absence. He locked gazes with the merman, whose expression appeared friendly. Poe couldn't be certain. Merfolk, sirens, lead people to their deaths.

"Nice to meet you, buddy," he said, reaching for the shoes, "but I just remembered I have to drive my pal home. He's... drunk." Maybe I am, too. Poe decided it safer to be drunk further inland.

He backed further away, unaware he'd shifted direction to get away from the merman. He reached behind him and felt air, then tilted downward.

He was falling into the ocean.

Day 1 merfolk, sirens, pirates

for gingerpilotweek @gingerpilotbay

Snippets of Poe and Hux figuring out Hux’s new body. That's what happens when you finally capture your First Order boyfriend general and he grew a tail overnight.

"Who's idea was that? Know that it doesn't matter, I am judging you both anyway." Kalonia said, looking at Poe and Hux. They were sitting on the edge of Hux’s tank, his tail was out of the water swinging slowly back and forth. Poe was sitting next to him, his arm hanging down. Hux pointed at Poe and Poe pointed at Hux. Redhead looked at him annoyed

"How dare you? You marched in here and..."

"Alright alright the idea was mine... But I said you can bite my hand and you went for the shoulder!"

"Gentlemen! Silence. " Kalonia sighed, massaging her forehead. "Alright. It's the second stupidest thing you did, Dameron."

Hux frowned

"What was first?"

Kalonia covered the side of her face with a datapada and said something to Hux quietly.

"Hey!" Poe protested

"He put what where?" Hux blinked and looked at Poe half scandalised, half impressed.

"That was private! Don't look like that, I was drunk... And horny."

Hux chuckled amused.

"Desperate is what I would call it."

"Kriff off."

"To sum it up. You wanted to be bitten by Hux, why exactly?"

Poe sighed.

"I read that some of his species has a sort of um... venom? Or like a numbing enzyme in the spit to immobilize prey and I thought we should check if Hux has that too."

"Right. And what's the conclusion of that experiment, Commander?"

"It... Well it was successful. I can't feel my shoulder or hand, can't really move my neck."

"Right." Kalonia sighed, examining the bite. "I will clean it, the last thing we want is any infections. You can't move it at all?"

"Yeah.. and um ... I am kind of light headed?"

"Okay. You will stay here under observation and we will see. If he starts blacking out or is incomprehensive, notify me. I will leave the datapad here." She said to Hux. Red head nodded. She cleaned the bite she left them alone. Hux smiled showing his sharp teeth.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I think it's that predatory instinct kicking in." Hux kissed him, Poe gasped quietly and Hux nibbled at his lip.

"Wa..wait... Ah... Hux don't bite. I don't want to be left paralyzed."

"I will consider it." He licked the blood off the pilot's lip and Poe felt a tingling sensation. He sighed and gave up wrapping his other arm around Hux’s waist.

"She shouldn't have left us alone."

"She really really shouldn't." Hux murmured into his lips.

When Kalonia showed up to check on them after two hours Poe blinked at her in slow motion.

"I am... Building im...im..munity." He mumbled. Kalonia glared at Hux.

"He is a consenting adult." Hux deadpanned.

Poe was left unfit for duty for almost three days but he regretted nothing.

*******

"So. How does this work." Poe waved at Hux's tail. Hux glanced at him.

"It... Creates side to side motion thanks to what I can ..."

"No no no. Not what I meant. I mean... um sex."

"Sex." Hux stared at him. "You don't know how sex works?"

"No. I mean yes! Of course I know how sex work. But not with the tail."

"Oh." Hux looked at his tail. "I... I don't know."

Poe looked at him and grinned.

*******

Kalonia rubbed her eyelids and sighed.

"It was his idea." Hux said.

"You were very enthusiastic!"

Hux went red.

"Well yes but..."

"At this point I don't care. Let's just... Let's just separate you and... Just... Next time make sure you know what you're doing alright? I am sure there are a lot of instructions in holonet."

*******

"Can't we look at something else?"

"When Kalonia said to make sure we know what we are doing she didn't mean porn, Dameron."

"Alright but this... Detailed anatomy diagrams don't help either."

Hux sighed.

"Fine. Have it your way." He gave him a datapad. Poe grinned. Hux looked over his shoulder when he put on some sort of video.

"That can't be right," he huffed.

"Yeah. Totally unrealistic. " Poe nodded. They both stared at the video in silence. Somewhere in the middle they both gave out a silent "oh" simultaneously.

"That .. well. That makes sense."

"Yeah... So! Now we know..." Poe closed the video.

"No. No, we should watch the whole thing." Hux protested and blushed seeing Poe's smile "For science dameron!"

"Yeah sure. For science." Poe snickered powering on the datapad again.

*******

"You alright, Armitage?" Hux nodded slowly, looking completely out of it. He nuzzled his face into Poe's neck and licked it. Poe shivered. "Kriff..." He felt Hux's tail wrap around him. "Hah... Thank Stars you are not some sort of snake... I would be scared for my life."

Hux smiled into his neck amused.

"You should be, Commander. Things like me woo man out of their ships to fuck them, drown them and eat them."

Poe swallowed and chuckled a bit more nervously than he wished to. Hux's tail wrapped tighter around him.

"Hah.. hey could we stay on the 'fucking' stage? I promise I am more entertaining alive and I bet I am not tasty either."

Hux snorted and laughed quietly.

"Gladly." Hux leaned on his chest making himself comfortable. "Wake me if you get cold."

Poe fell asleep trapped under Hux's weight And he was the happiest man in the galaxy.

(by the way the ideal of Hux captured by Resistance and his legs chaging into tail overnight becouse he was in water for to long or something and the last time he was in this variation of his body was when he was a kid and he feels disgust towards it and has no idea how to use it or exist with the tail and sharp teeth and all that -mostly bc Brendol hated it and forced him to use more human like body - this is eating my brain now. And Poe being absolutly fascinated and down for everything. )
