I stuck it on Ao3 cuz why the fuck not. It’s a one-shot. Might as well.

Guyyyyyyssss this is so good. I am loving everyone’s post-TLJ kylux takes, and this one delivers. I’m so invested in well-constructed getting together stories, and I’m really floored by this particular fic.

Kylo Ren’s POV is complicated, quixotic and believable. I love the way he approaches his relationship with Hux, and his daydreams/Force visions. He seems like a person finally coming into their own, and it works really well. He’s at once insecure and self-congratulatory. He’s working out the kinks. His conflicted inability to look directly at the world and at Hux is delightful. All and all, this is a good and toothsome read. And the language is deft and lovely.

Warning for suicidal actions (Hux), and some vague dubcon. But neither is gatuitous.
