"Oh! Hello, Millie,” said the man at the table. “Are you here to help me with my research?”

His voice was low and soft, his accent much less clipped than that of his brother, almost musical in Matt’s ears. He watched as the cat jumped up, purrs rumbling through the still air of the room as her ears were scratched. She turned in a circle on the table before settling down, curling into a loaf-like ball on the open pages of the book.

“Ah! The lesser known butt-reading technique! Truly you are a lady of much skill.” The man giggled to himself, hair slipping from one shoulder to reveal the line of his neck, inked in a swirling tattoo surrounded by deep purple flowers. He stood, reaching out to move the cat before seeming to reconsider. “I suppose you’re right. I do need a break.”

They snicker. The fairy lights they hung as a temporary fix the last time the overhead light burnt out – near Christmas, conveniently enough – cast their sweet, warm glow above and around them. The main bulb in the centre of the ceiling is still dark: they’ll have to change it by tomorrow or they won’t get their whole deposit back. Ben files that away for later.

Here’s @huxes and I’s main piece for the Kylux Big Bang! Honestly it was so fun and lovely working with her and the fic she has produced is so, so wonderful. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

Here are my 1st entry for the @kyluxbigbang. Unfortubately my writer had to step out so there is no fic with it, but I can still (with permission from the writer) give you the context with bits of the outline of the story that was supposed to accompagny this. (also click on the pictures, they’re bigger than that:)

Also if anyone is interested in taking on that story (based only on the pictures or based on the outline below) feel free to do it (and yes, you can embed the drawings, just let me know;)

After Starkiller event, Hux and Kylo did not immediately make it back to the Finaliser (magnetic field distortion or or the explosion made them go astray)  Their shuttle crash on an Outter Rim planet ‘covered in jungle foliage, damp soil, rocks, and not much else‘. They are the only survivors and Kylo is in a bad state.

At night, they hear noises from the nearby threes and Hux finally decides to seek shelter in the broken shuttle, dragging Kylo along with him (PICTURE 1) and then patching him Kylo up.

Comes the day and Hux decides to go find some civilisation, taking Kylo with him. That’s when they meet one, and then an entire herd of...dinosaurs! They hide in a tree and are “saved” (the dinos were herbivors) by dino/lezards humanoïdes that bring them to their town and provide medical assistance to Kylo  and a place for them to stay. Hux lies about their identities (tells they were shot on a diplomatic mission) and the mayor of the town ensure them that transport frequently skim their space and that they’ll quick find one to bring them home.

Turns out the lezard people are in conflit with bird-like people, and since Hux had the very good idea to tell they were diplomats, the mayor asks him if he would use his skills to help them with the negociations. Hux agrees, supposing he can fake the role long enough for Kylo to recover and possibly repare a broken ship he spoted while visiting the city. Hux starts his new job (while gathering information/trying to find a powerful radio to contact allies) and Kylo is pissed he can’t contact Snoke.

At one point Hux and his ‘concubine’ are invited at some reception, where the mayor (who I made look like a character from the show “Dinosaurs”, i know) purposefully let them alone in a smoking room with a  suspicious curtain (hiding a ‘copulation’ space) (PICTURE 2). Hux and Kylo use that time to sneek out and send an SOS using the radio of the warroom. They are back before the mayor (who is disapointed they did not copulate) returns. 

Negociations keep going and one day Hux learns the the bird people possess a weapon of mass destruction. The situation is worst than he though, it is getting dangerous, Kylo and him need to get out. They try to leave the town at night and steal domesticated dinosaurs. Hux takes the bigger one and Kylo is not happy (PICTURE 3). But they don’t go far. A chicken person who was planting explosives on bridges stops them. They manage to kill him but have to run back from where they left when a big T-rex arrives (and eat the chicken guy’s corpse).

Since they had to go back, they decide to stick on to the previous plan - if Kylo can go quicker with the ship’s repairs. Hux goes back to negociations but the chicken people decided to step to the next level. The lezard mayor is attacked and Hux saves him - though he doesn’t make it unscathed. He goes back “home” to take a shower and meets kylo (who doesn’t immediatly notices he’s hurt) working on one of the ship’s pieces. Thus the converssation:

‘Kylo: What happened to your "negotiating talents," General?'

Hux: I used them to strangle another one of those birds’ (PICTURE  4)

The war is about to start when Kylo fly away with the ship...alone. Hux cross the jungle (kind of resigned to die doing so) to try and find Kylo. He finally does in an outpost where the chicken people keep their missile silo...but isn’t pleased with what he sees... Kylo broke the roof with his ship and is trying to transfer energy from the weapons into it (the ship could fly by now but didn’t have enough power to leave the planet). It all seems dangerous and radioactive. Kylo is wan, sweaty, with glazed eyes. He told Hux he ‘didn’t have to come, that he was goning to come back for him’. 

The ship is finally full on power, they leave the war and carnage that rage around them and finally reach space. Only then does Kylo falls over in a dead faint...but wakes up...and Hux decides he’ll make sure they’ll take some time for him to recover before the go back to Snoke/the Order.

TADAA END.

The Measure of Man - Chapter 6

CHAPTER 6 CAN BE READ HERE

Summary

After demonstrating his brilliance in the latest Military campaign, Major Armitage Hux of the Hussars ought to have been rewarded by the respect and admiration of England’s Upper Crust. Instead, he finds that blood and heritage are still the sole currency of value, and that his merit is worth very little in the face of the mediocre House his father has saddled him with.

However, when he finds himself implicated in a covert plot to restore England to the past glory of its Imperialistic days, he sees the opportunity to satisfy his ambition and achieve the greatness he deserves. To reach the top of society, it is far easier to bring it down first.

It would have been a straightforward plan, were it not for the intervention of one Lord Kylo Ren. All too soon, Hux finds himself swept away by an impossible man, the rise of appetites and affections he has long tried to bury within himself, and the discovery of a power that goes beyond what mere science might explain.

Notes:

Special thanks to @mousiesshi for their amazing editing skills. I am frankly embarrassed by some of the things they end up catching! No art in the chapter, again - next one for sure though! In the meantime, check out @creepycreepyspacewizard art and fics! They are simply superb!

In this chapter, Hux and Phasma have a tense little chat, and Hux goes on to prove how much he cannot handle emotions.

More Big Bang stuff (wow), because this part of the fic pretty much finished me off

Hux pauses for a long moment, as if hesitating to admit something deeply personal. “I wanted to learn more about architecture. I've always wanted to design new buildings. Whole cities, even.” Ben grins, pleased to learn an interesting and telling fact about the ever-mysterious Armitage Hux. “That's awesome. You should do that.” “It's not in the stars,” Hux says stiffly. “Why not?” “You're awfully young, Ben. I don't expect you to understand,” Hux sighs. Come on, they're only like a few years apart. “We're not so different. I'm training here. You're training there. Sometimes I think about what I would do if I wasn't a Jedi.” “Isn't that against your code?” “Maybe,” Ben shrugs. “But I can't help my imagination. I'd like to live in a house with my family. And take long trips on my ship, living like a pirate or something.” He knows he sounds silly, but he hopes Hux won’t scrutinize him too harshly. “A pirate?” “Or something!” “You’re a funny little boy,” Hux smirks. He’s delighted, it would seem.

So here’s the main piece for @ballvvasher​‘s wonderful fic Ergodicity! It’s been so lovely working with her on this and honestly the fic turned out better than I could have ever imagined, so I’ve felt super lucky to have such great source material to work with. It spans over pretty much their whole lives up until they’re adults, so if benarmie is your thing you’re gonna have a great time with this one. I really hope you all enjoy the fic and that I can do it justice!
