The Vainglorious Journey

When Armitage Hux, the third Baron of Arkanis, finds himself penniless and near the end of his rope, he throws his name on the shortlist for Commander of the Royal Army. He never dreamt that he would be leaving his meeting with the King and Queen of Alderaan with an even bigger problem: handfasted to the impossibly gorgeous (but equally spoilt) heir-apparent, Prince Ben Solo.

AKA: The Taming of the Shrew AU. Or: the ribald tale of the arrogant prince who refused to be tamed; the cynical general who didn’t believe in romance; and the one-week journey that changed them both.

Chapter 1: A Royal Engagement

 [excerpt]:

“Enough!” the King roared. “You will do your duty and be married. In fact, your betrothed is here right now, and we shall perform the handfasting ceremony shortly.”

Ben’s gaze followed his father’s pointed finger, his eyes widening as he stared at Hux. “You. . .you’re the one they’ve saddled me to?” he breathed. “I hadn’t taken you for a fool but you must be one, to have agreed to something as foolish as marriage without knowing a single thing about me.”

You want to BE a sugar daddy? Or HAVE one? :D

Have one preferably, but that seems like a commitment, the findom option seems... Well... Insult people, occasionally post a few feet pictures... ??? profit...

Its mostly research at the moment, though if I could find a nice person who just fancies giving me an allowance in exchange for copious photos of what I buy and my ever increasing stuffed animal collection?? Well, that’s just PERFECTION!

The Vainglorious Journey

Hux looked up; Ren’s chest was moving up and down rapidly, yet Hux wasn’t sure it was solely from the pain.

“You’re welcome,” he replied gruffly, his breath huffing across the nape of Ren’s neck as he leaned in for a closer inspection. Hux tore off another strip of the cloth and wet it with water, then wound the damp fabric around Ren’s torso, holding the dressing in place. Now that the bleeding was staunched, his eyes were wont to wander across the expanse of pale skin. At Ren’s pebbling nipples, and the skin which grew goose-fleshed despite the afternoon heat.

The Vainglorious Journey

Hux flicked a cool gaze down Ben’s form. The prince’s clothes were in a disarray, the costly fabric dirtied and torn. His face was painted a becoming pink, his hair dampened from his efforts.

“If you continue to act the spoilt brat, then you shall receive a punishment just as fitting." His smile grew as Ben glowered. "I could bend you over my knee and take a switch to your arse. See how the stripe of a birch would paint your bottom’s undoubtedly soft complexion.”

The Vainglorious Journey

The moonlight spilled silver over the gardens, its delicate beams touching the fading foliage and the stalks of verbena which perfumed the air. The sounds of music and chatter provided a muted backdrop in the distance, punctuated with bursts of merriment as Hux stepped forth into the courtyard, his heart hammering against his chest.

Ben stood gazing out into the distance, his profile breathtaking in silhouette. The dry leaves crackled under Hux’s foot and Ben turned, his mouth parted slightly in shock. He was as beautiful as Hux had remembered, with his strong nose and lush lips, and the powerful  breadth of his body. But his eyes were also wary, rimmed with a darkness below.

“Ben.”

The familiarity of the greeting seemed to stir something inside the prince. “Protocol dictates that you address me as ‘Your Royal Highness’.”

WELL TAGGED AND WARNED FOR SPACES WHERE CONTENT IS MARKED BY NOT CENSORED ARE HELPFUL TO EVERYONE

EXACTLY!

These guys don’t seem to understand how it would all just degenerate and be worse for EVERYONE (including them) if they got their way. And that there is absolutely no damn possibility of making that ‘nasty gross fic’ disappear. Even more so because where the servers are, it’s actually perfectly legal.
