I graduated from uni 😭So I’m officially back from a long hiatus! aaaaahhh
Here is an emperor & empress AU in Thai traditional clothes, inspired by the main lovers in the Ramakien. I actually finished this months ago but I wanted to post it after I’ve finished all my uni stuff.
COMMISSION SLOTS: OPEN! If you like my art and want to support this newly graduated unemployed artist, please feel free to check more INFO | art tag or contact: [email protected]
A/N: So I finally picked this up after almost two years. I’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback, so why not? I’m undecided if I will continue to post AQUARIUS here or my main AO3, until I get my Tumblr where I want it. I’ve decided to post little snippets of work from series from AO3. And no I didn’t forget about your ask!
Summary: It has been weeks since you had seen Kylo after that embarrassing event. Unsure on how you actually feel about him, the next time you see him might put things in perspective.
(Reader’s POV)
It has been pushing two weeks since I saw Kylo. Every morning since, like today, I began having breakfast with Captain Phasma. I was pretty positive that I would soon be kicked into outer space before he even looked at me.
“Is this my last meal?”
She rolled her blue eyes that I’ve grown accustomed to over the past weeks.
“Permission to speak, Madame.” She asked.
“You can just say it, you don’t have to ask. And call me Y/N.”
She nodded. “Y/N, you’re overreacting. Our leader cares very much about you, if he didn’t you would’ve been dead a long time ago.”
My eyes widened at her bluntness. There were three hard knocks at my door before I opened it. It was my three maidens, “My lady,” They bowed. “We are here to get you ready for the Emperor.”
I turned to look back at Phasma with a smile. She stood up putting her helmet back on.
“Permission to speak? Yes. For someone who doesn’t like him, you’re very excited to see him.”
I pushed her out of the door. “Don’t you have soldiers to boss around.”
I made my way down the cold hallway. Thank God I was covered up. Literally. I wore a long black dress, gloves, and fitted black hood that covered my hair. Kylo stood at the end of the hallway, he turned around and dismissed my maidens.
“Hello,”
He bowed to me. My heart started to beat at the sight of his face.
“Hello, Kylo. Nice to see you again.” I said with a shaky voice; his lip twitched upwards at my nervousness. His large glove hand extended out from his side revealing a mask.
“What is this?” My brows furrowed.
“We are meeting with the leader of an allying planet and we need to respect their customs.”
I grabbed at the mask, it was porcelain white and heavy. My lips twisted up and I couldn’t help but get insecure. ‘Does he think I’m not pretty enough?’ I thought. A cold sting hit my cheek making me wince. His leather-clad hands gently held my cheek; it was the first time he touched me and the funny thing is we were both shocked.
“I’m sorry,”
He retracted his hand. “I just didn’t want you to think the wrong thing.” He said almost in a whisper. “It is just for this planet,” Kylo told me as we walked down the hallway. I looked him overseeing that his mask was nowhere in sight.
“Where is yours?” I asked. He looked at me and back ahead.
“It’s only for the women.”
I shot him a quizzical look. Something about this wasn’t settling right with me.
We entered and I assume that this was the planet’s leader: a short, chubby, bald man approached Kylo bowing before both of us. Looking behind him, I saw a person dressed similarly to me standing.
“Emperor Ren,”
The man bowed before he began to reel off compliments without giving me a sideways glance. The two moved to sit on the couch. I wasn’t just going to stand there awkwardly in the middle of the room. I might not know much about the protocol around here but I knew that I didn’t want to be standing here all day. So, I made my way to the couch Kylo sat upon and stayed nestled into the corner. The bald man stopped and stared at me with horror.
“Is she allowed?”
His words caught me off guard. Am I allowed? Am I pet? Last time I checked I was supposed to be some stupid Empress.
“She is the future Empress, she holds a higher status than the women on your planet,” Kylo told him.
“But surely not on the same level as you.” The man said, quite loudly. “The floor might be a better suit.”
Now I understood why people wore a mask because the face I was making was somewhere between confused and outraged. How dare he ‘suggest’ something as if I was a dog? But of course, it didn’t stop there. Just the way he talked about women, in general, was as if they were just an object for men to use and abusive. And Kylo was just sitting here entertaining this! If that is the type of woman he wanted to have, he should’ve gone to that planet and left me alone! I had honestly lost count on the disgusting, sexist, misogynistic things this so-called “leader” had said. I was also surprised my eyes weren’t permanently crossed from rolling them so much. But his recent sentence had me sucking my teeth. The bald man looked at me and said: “Your wife really needs to be put her in place.”
“Put in my place?”
“You shouldn’t speak unless spoken to, girl.” The man spat.
“Excuse me?” I stood removing the mask and Kylo was quick to stand between the man and me because clearly, he could read my thought and clearly he could see I was ready to fight back. Kylo’s fingers wrapped tightly around my arm as he dragged me to an adjacent room. Once we were alone, I pulled away from him.
“Do not touch me.”
He turned back to look at me with dark eyes filled with hurt before turning to anger.
“I can do whatever I please, you cannot tell me, THE Emperor of the galaxy, what to do.” He pointed at me. “You need manners, you need to be more respectful.”
I smacked the finger that was aimed at me away from my face.
“I don’t care if you were the creator of the galaxy, you do not touch me like that and you do not tell me what to do! And it’s pretty ironic how you preach about manners and respect after you just sat there and trashed women for what? An alliance?”
“YES!” Kylo spoke through gritted teeth as he took a step closer. His large body loomed over me, clearly trying to intimidate me, unfortunately, I’m quite stubborn.
“Of course, get on your knees and beg a backward planet that thinks women are only good for sex and baby-making because God forbid they have a thought.”
He turned around breathing heavily. “And they’ll end up like you!”
“If I’m bad then it’s clear you make terrible choices, now I understand why you want them as an ally.” I scoffed. “Maybe you should marry one of them.”
This seemed to tick him off as he backed me into the wall. Craning my neck, I still tried to stand my ground but I couldn’t stop hearing my heart beating in my ears.
“Maybe I should. Or maybe I should kill you.”
My breath hitched as he spoke with such a straight face.
“I don’t even need to use anything to do it; I could just blink.”
He held a heavy stare with me none of us blinking. And then he did; my lashes fluttered so quickly, my short life flash before my eyes before I calmed down to see him peering down at me with a smirk. I couldn’t help the tears that welled in my eyes. This was my life now. To be threatened into submission.
“Do it,” I looked up at him with tears clinging on my lashes. “Just kill me.”
Kylo was caught by surprise not expecting me to respond in such manner.
“I don’t want to be here and I don’t want to be with you.”
Brows furrowed as his eyes seemed as if they were focusing on something other than me. I used this time to slip out. I don't know why I could think he could possibly care for me.
P.S.: We'll get Kylo's pov next time, but until then, he needs to get it together.
The last time I wrote a chapter for Aquarius was like 2 years ago. I hope you can see how I've grown. I also decided to not combine their pov's. So I'll usually have reader's chapter first and then Kylo's. Idk if you guys like it, but a lot of people enjoy reading Kylo's pov.
Also, if you have any ideas or situations you might want them to go through to help their relationship feel free to comment. So far I have a few milestones, but some fluff and angst little fillers are needed as well. Or if you just have ideas you know? Feel free!
Ok so I desperately need an Emperor Kylo Ren fic, I just imagine him being brutal to his enemies but Super loving to his significant other.
Some of the people across the galaxy called him the King of the Ashes. Some said it in reference to the burned down Jedi temple; others were referring to the pile he kept that his helmet used to rest in, an old rumor that circulated from a defected stormtrooper.
Kylo hated the nickname. It struck fear in those who whispered it amongst themselves in alleyways, but it was something they said out of fear above all else. Many joked: “He’s King of the Ashes, no Supreme Leader, he’s just a child who can’t rule the galaxy.” But beneath their laughter was terror. They knew of his wrath. They knew how he thoughtlessly murdered the innocent students of Luke Skywalker’s Jedi academy. They knew how he ordered the execution of Lor San Tekka and the entire Tuanul village on Jakku.
They knew. They were afraid. The Supreme Leader was unpredictable, and they didn’t want to be next.
But to you, Kylo Ren was anything but unpredictable. You understood his habits, his mannerisms, what made him tick, and for that you two had a deeper understanding of one another. Kylo loved you for it, having felt like no one ever really got him for it, and he appreciated that you respected him - not out of fear, but because you admired his power and you admired him.
Kylo Ren wasn’t sure what there was to be admired about himself, but you saw it - and for that, he cherished you. The other officers whispered about how you were often given special treatment and better assignments, sometimes even better sleeping quarters, but they knew better than to dare question anything.
You never felt afraid. There was nothing for you to be afraid of.
Request: Kylo Ren was the most feared person in the galaxy, even more so when he crowned himself Emperor. Truth & rumors were spoken in hushed whispers among his subjects & the troops. So imagine the shock for a random person if they saw Kylo & you (the Empress) having a quiet moment alone together. It was jarring to see such love & affection in Kylo's expression as he held you in his arms. But it was *there*.
"Empress Ren?" YES, I love the idea of being Kylo Ren's Empress! Like, what if the Reader was his loyal apprentice before they end up as rulers of the Galaxy? Can you say "power couple?" :D
I’ve decided to combine these two requests because the empress vibes were screaming at me. I am living for these requests though, Emperor!Kylo is one of my favorite imagines and i hope you guys like this!
The entire throne room was filled to the brim with emissary's, senators and royalty alike; the finest silks draped from every corner and caressing the white marble floor. Each figure wore their finest clothes and flaunted their gaudiest jewels in order to gain favor from the one person they were all there for.
Emperor Kylo Ren sat on his imposing black and gold throne, looking every bit the ruler he was swathed in pure ebony. His legs were crossed in a casual manner and his elbow rested on the arm of his throne, fingers pressed to his temple and cheek in boredom as two senators squabbled like children.
It was well known that Kylo was a powerful man even without his title so it was imperative to have him as an ally in any business of the empire. Unfortunately for them, this show of childish behavior only served to prove that he would ally with neither of them. If they could not speak as adults, he would let them destroy themselves.
He suppressed an eye roll as the senators brought him back into the conversation.
“Your highness, surely even you see the folly of this man’s words?”
“MY folly? You dare insult the emperor with your mindless questions? How dare you, sir!” The other retorted.
“How dare I?!”
“You heard me!”
Kylo was just about to lose every ounce of patience he possessed when a gentle yet commanding voice silenced the room.
“Gentlemen...” Every head in the room turned to the now open doors of the throne room to behold you, their empress, heads bowing quickly in respect. Your gown was encrusted entirely of white jewels from Naboo, forming to your body in a sweetheart bodice and flaring out just below the waist.
“How do you expect the Knights to meditate or train when your childish squabbling can be heard through out the kingdom?” You kept your tone calm, but the frustration you felt was evident. You enjoyed overseeing the Knights of Ren’s daily training, having once been in their shoes easily helped you bond with them.
Starting off as Kylo Ren’s apprentice and rising in your strength and skills only served to make the Knights respect you even more as their empress. Therefor, when some idiots decided to disrupt their day to day routine that kept the empire safe, you didn’t take it lightly.
“Y-your grace!” Both men bowed as low as possible, “I apologize for this man’s terrible behavior-”
“No, your grace! I must apologize for his interruption-” They both attempted to yell over each other, snapping the last of Kylo’s patience.
“You would DARE to speak such a way to your empress?” He stood in a swish of robes, slowly making his way down the marble steps. “You would DARE disrespect her in such a way? I should have you executed for such insolence.” His voice exuded every ounce of anger he felt without yelling.
He stood directly in front of the men with you caging them in from behind, a bored expression on your face as Kylo got right in their faces.
“However, I wish not to stain these robes with blood of little boys like you,” He stood back to his full height and brushed past them until he came to you, clasping you hand in his own. “Consider this your final warning and a warning to all to not waste this empires time.” With that, the two of you glided from the throne room hand in hand.
The man servant grumbled and sighed as he made his way through the halls, embarrassment and annoyance radiating off of him. Senator Keldestrine never knew how to keep his mouth shut nor did he know how to behave in front of royalty.
He had served in the man’s family for years and was always making apologies for his master’s behavior. Of course, of all the stupid things the senator could have done, having an outburst in front of the emperor and his empress was the absolute worst. He’d written down a list of apologies to address and constantly fixed his robes to look proper for your eyes.
He aimed straight for the royal parlor only to stop and take a few quiet steps backwards as a glittering glare form the sun caught his eye. Hiding behind the entrance to the royal gardens, his eyes beheld the emperor having a tender moment with you, his empress.
The emperor sat beneath a large tree that grew yellow and white lilies, his robes fanned out around him and you laying across your lap, head nestled in his neck and your hands delicately picking at a white lily. Your smile was infectious as the emperor wrapped his arms around you and pressed a kiss to your cheek.
Seeing the emperor smile and express affection so easily had the manservant in awe. The man was a figure of ice and power, never even letting more than a smirk crack his face, seeing him like this certainly was...different.
There were whispers that your marriage to the emperor had been one of pure power to preserve a powerful bloodline of two force users, some even said that he kept you against his will, but only a small few knew the truth. He had served the Hux family for a time, getting to work closely with the emperor when he had been a commander and you his apprentice.
Your current position was one built on respect, struggle, and love. He had watched you grow in power, seen the way that Ren looked at you over time and knew that it was to be a force to be reckoned with.
He knew love when he saw it, especially amongst royalty.
Shaking himself from his musings, he looked up only to make eye contact with the emperor himself.
Oh, shit.
You glanced up as Kylo’s chuckle stopped, following his gaze to see Maddox quickly dart behind the wall. You inwardly chuckled knowing why the poor man was there, he had always felt the need to apologize for others that he served. You placed your hand on Kylo’s cheek to turn his face back to yours.
“Easy...” You whispered, “You know he means no harm.” You could feel the annoyance build in Kylo at having been interrupted.
“It isn’t his place to spy or gawk as if this is a show.” His voice rumbled in his chest.
“I’m sure it was just a surprise to see you so relaxed, Kylo. Nothing short of a pick axe can break that face.” You joked, managing to get him to smile.
“You can.” He whispered and pressed a gentle kiss to your lips. He broke away after a few seconds and pulled the two of you up into a standing position, keeping your hand clasped in his. You smiled and directed your attention to the entrance to the garden.
“Enter, Maddox.” You called out and looked at Kylo, “Behave.” You whispered, causing him to smirk.
I just had the HOTTEST dream about Emperor!Ren, like ughhh. - alrighty, so just imagine being his personal pet™ that follows him everywhere and even sits next to his throne, dressed all cute n' shit :"3. Kylo usually doesn't like to show you off to people, but when he notices people(like the guards) staring you down or thinking about you, he immediately gets so possesive and pulls you closer to the throne & himself. His deadly glare at the guard is suddenly cut off by Kylo-(I'll continue it!)
(continuing the Emperor!Ren dream I had) The silence is cut off when Kylo sarcastically asks the guard, "Do you enjoy watching my pet? Do you like seeing her be dominated?". The guard is totally lost and so scared, so they just stay quiet. Kylo pulls you up to your feet and places you on his lap, before leaning back and huffing, "Would you like to see what her master can make her do?". He then proceeds to make youride his thigh & denies your orgasms, before he fucks the shit out of you. :")
“Would you like to see what her master can make her do?” Fucking end me
A/N: Hey y’all. Guess who’s back? AQUARIUS . I told you before, I use this as a diary before it was a series. So this one is about Kylo dealing with his “wife” and Aunt Flo. Need I say more.
Summary: To say you left on a bad note, was an understatement. Not only are you scared, you’re alone, you’re bored and to top it off . . . you have cramps.
My clenched fist was held stiff by my side. Y/N wasn’t there to greet me in the hangar and I was quite annoyed. I made my way down the hallway. It was extremely quiet. This was just the way I liked it, but something off. There was no trooper in sight and this was definitely a hallway. I turned to the private hallway where Y/N’s quarters are. My heavy boots echoed off the walls; as I got closer, I saw Phasma walking towards her quarters. “Captain?” I called. Phasma turned around, slightly shocked to see me. I quickened my pace to speak with her. I went to open my mouth but closed it when I took a glance at her hand. “Captain, what is that?” “What is what?” She quickly replied. “That.” I pointed. Her helmet shifted down, observing her hand as well. “Oh, it’s just a chocolate bar.” My brows shifted up behind the helmet. “A chocolate bar?” My mouth started getting watery, I couldn’t remember the last time I had one. “Sir, they’re for Y/N, I mean the Lady of Ren, your highness. She’s not feeling well.” My shoulders tensed and I could feel Y/N’s emotions radiating from her room. “What’s the matter?” I tried to stay calm. “She just hasn't been feeling well.” “So this hasn’t been a one-time thing? Did you take her to the med bay?” I started walking past her before she called out. “Sir, just be gentle and try this.” She tentatively handed me the chocolate bar.
I was cuddled up in a heap of blankets and a nice soft pillow that was pressed against my abdomen. My eyes were slowly starting to close and I’d finally get a good night sleep. Or whatever time of the day it is. Phasma said she would be coming after overseeing the troopers who were leaving on a mission. Hopefully, she forgot because I was so close to sleep. Slowly the buzzing from the ship started to fade out as I slowly fell into a deep slumber. But of course, the door slid open. “Noooo.” I silently whined. I couldn’t even turn my head. The heavy boot falls made their way towards my side of the bed. “Phasma, I was just about to go to sleep finally.” I opened my eyes to see none other the infamous black helmet, who was my future husband. His hands latched onto the sides and pulled it off, showing glossy brown eyes. “Y/N? What’s wrong?” He sat on the bed, making it move. My eyes shot open in pain as a groaned escaped my lips. “What did-what happened?”
I wanted nothing more than to bury myself into the covers. Even if this was the man that I had no choice but to marry and would have to get used to it, he was still a stranger and I felt very uncomfortable talking about. “My stomach hurts,” I said above a whisper. His gloved hand shakily hovered over my stomach. I recoiled further into the sheets. “No, don’t touch me.” As soon as I said it, I quickly regretted. The pain looks on his face hurt me more than my cramps. I know I should be nicer, I’ve been talking to Phasma about it, but right now, I just didn’t want to be bothered. “If you are in pain, you need to go to the med bay.” He said with a little more sting in his voice. “They aren’t going to do anything.” “And neither is laying in the bed.” I shot him a look and he held a heavy stare. He did not want to go there. Not Today Satan! “Look, I know you’re trying to help. But, I would just like to go to bed.” I sighed. He shuffled around causing the bed to shake and me to groan.
“Here, Phasma was on her way to give this to you.” I peered out of my cocoon to see a chocolate bar. I couldn’t help but giggle, there’s chocolate in space. A flitter of hope sparkled in his eyes at my thought. “No, Kylo really, I don’t want to eat. I just want to sleep.” Kylo let out a huff. “Sleeping clearly isn’t making it better. So eat this.” I rolled my eyes. “I haven’t slept in like days or nights or whatever is going on with the time here. I don’t want it!” My voice was slightly raised. I heard the leather from his gloves squeak. “What?” I spat. “I expected my wife to be waiting for me when the ramp was lowered and now, I’m arguing with her because she doesn’t know how to take care of herself!” Without thinking I snatched the bar out of his hand and threw it at him. “I think I know how to handle myself, I’ve been dealing with this years before I met you!” I yelled at him. I could literally see the steaming from his ears. He stood up clenching his fist, harsh words threatened to spill from his lips. And you didn’t need to be able to read minds to know this. I started to get up and slowly slush my way to the bathroom. Anger was still gnawing at me as I mumbled about how much I hated this place, space, and him. My hand went to touch the door before, everything went black.
A bright light hit my face before I felt a cool breeze whip past me. I woke up startled but the bright room. A shadow fell on my right side and I turned to it. “Kylo, where am I?” He furrowed his brows. “You’re in the med bay.” I started to shift up, but he pushed me down. “Let me go.” We both continued this pushing movement until I had a sharp pain shoot through me. I curled into myself. I heard him call out to someone. My eyes were shut tightly, only opening when I felt metallic hands on me. “Get off me!” I yelled moving away from the robot. “Y/N, it’s helping you stop moving!” He stomped his way over, trying to hold me down. I fought back against both the robot and Kylo. “Emperor?” Phasma, my trooper in silver armor came at just the right time. “Phasma, help me,” I said trying to push the robot away as Kylo’s large arms wrapped around me. He was very warm and I was started to break out a sweat. “Emperor, what happened?” He finally released me and stalked towards Phasma. “She was under your watch Captain and you didn’t take the proper procedures!” He pointed at her. “Your Highness, I apologize. But, it’s not what you think.” She bowed. “What I think? She’s been boarded up in her quarters!” He yelled, looking back to show me off. He did a doubletake as his eyes went wide and glanced down at my lap. My eyes slowly followed his gaze only to see a few stains of blood. Damn, if only I could’ve made it to the bathroom before I passed out. I didn’t even feel the tears run down my cheeks. “Ph-Phasma.” I stumbled over trembling lips. I felt so embarrassed. And the way he looked at me, almost like he didn’t want to be around me. Now, I know how he feels.
