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.

MERRY CRISIS NERDS, HERE’S SOME MORE POST-TLJ KYLUX.
Imagine, Kylo telling Hux “but paper isn’t useless – you can write the most beautifull things on it” and it comes to soft foreplay with calligraphy as bodyart.
so i was fucking around with @saltandlimes in about mid-october, as we do, and the subject of parody songs came up. i happened to mention that in my family, christmas carol parodying is a semi-professional sport. “do tell,” she said.
about ten minutes later the words for this were done. about ten minutes after that, i went, “hold on. this needs to be a thing.”
i figured i could handle the music, but i couldn’t do this alone. so i pulled every last shred of nerves together and messaged all my favourite kylux cartoonists. i nearly cried when everyone wanted to join in on this nonsense. i couldn’t believe it. and the art i got just knocked my socks off.
@wyomingnot supplied invaluable vidding advice. @pidgy-draws and @pixiepunch supplied moral support. and my lovely husband put up with my voice acting.
so without further ado, oh god what is this how did i get here i am not good with computer.
THE MUSIC: lyrics, music, midi orchestration and vocals by @acroamatica, with apologies to john williams. my accent is fake. so is domhnall’s.
THE VIDEO: audio and video produced by @acroamatica
One sunny afternoon in the mountains of Washington state, Ben Organa-Solo walked out into the woods.
He never came home.
Six years later, a journalist specialising in missing-persons cold cases decides to follow his footsteps and see where they might lead.
Notes:
written for an enormous number of the @huxloween prompts, but mostly because i wanted to see if i could do it.
this is not my normal fare so please be cautious if you think you need to be. i have extremely explicit spoiler warnings in the end notes if you are worried about being triggered. none of the possibly triggering content is sexual but i am not kidding about the violence and there is some heavy psychological stuff as well. i take tagging very seriously so if you think there is something i haven’t tagged that i should tag please let me know and i will add.
this would not have been what it was without my cheerreaders: @crashwong, @favomancer, @zombiebrainsoup, and @starsshinedarkly77. it certainly would never have become what it is without the incredible editing of @saltandlimes. and it wouldn’t be half as brrrrr without the beautiful art from @chromedqueen. mea maxima culpa for the missing poster, the website, and ruining several songs for all of you forever.
all lyrics copyright their respective writers. sorry mr mccartney.
a seasonally appropriate reblog, because why the hell not. this is the spookiest i have ever been, so far, and it’s a good little story. assuming you like crows.
Kylo Ren is haunted by recent tragedy. He answers an ad posted by one Armitage Hux for a roommate, and he thinks a fresh start will help him begin to heal. He brings next to nothing with him from the past when he moves in.
It’s not that Kylo wasn’t trying to summon a demon; it’s just that he didn’t think it would actually work. He also didn’t prepare himself for the hypothetical demon that he probably wasn’t going to summon to be so damn hot. And now the demon is asking him what he wants – and the only thing Kylo really seems to want is the demon himself. That’s within the terms and conditions, right?
