Squadron Leader Hux from the amazing Flyboys by @gefionne - re-posted with permission by the artist TanyaE on Bluesky. Check them out, their art is incredible and they have far too few followers!

Fanart I did for the fic “Flyboys” written by the lovely @gefionne ~

[fives-ren]

I went to an airshow last week and I just couldn’t stop thinking about Kylux flyboys by @gefionne

God I just want to re-read this story for the first time again, I miss them so much :,)

There were even spitfire and hurricane but they didn’t fly due to the rain I was so sad rip

(There’s some video, I can’t add more I’m sorry 🥲)

Do you respond to comments? Why/Why not?

ALWAYS. Fandom is a community and one of the best parts is interacting with each other. If you take the time to read my work and write a comment, I am taking the time to reply to you.

What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

A Longdrawn Carol, Mournful, Holy | Ghoulcy | Fallout TV

The only MDC fic I've ever written. I loved writing it, but it is very sad.

What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?

Hm, pretty much all of them have happy endings, but probably Scherzo, the follow-up to Allemande, about deaf!Ben Solo and his pianist!Hux high school boyfriend being happy together and getting their first apartment together in college.

Do you write crossovers?

I never have before, but never say never.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Yes. One time someone even said I, their favorite author, let them down so hard with the very conceit of the fic that they were quitting fanfiction entirely over it. Dude. What. Anyway, yes, it's always hurtful and we're doing this for free and for fun and nobody wants your crit. If I ever get another one, though, I'll just delete it rather than responding. Don't feed them.

Do you write smut?

53 of my 83 posted fics are Explicit, so yes, definitely. Fic is an incredible genre in that it allows us to explore explicit sex as an element of a developing relationship in a way that other genres don't. Not that all my E fics are that; sometimes I just want to write porn, and then I do it.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes, twice, and I was glad to bond with friends over it, but mostly I do like having full control of the characters and narrative.

What's your all time favorite ship?

I could never pick one. I love them all so much.

What's a WIP that you want to finish don't think you ever will?

A multiple-story arc of FemShep and Joker as Naval Academy rivals who kiss once right before they ship out for separate duty. Then they meet again aboard the Normandy during the Saren mission and their feelings bloom. Goes all the way through Shepard's death and Joker's grief, her return, and ME3. It would be awesome, but it's too much to ever write.

What are your writing strengths?

Prose that is easy to visualize and immersive. Probably my favorite compliment to get! Pacing of longer romance arcs, though I'm trying these days to keep them a bit tighter. Will I succeed? Nobody knows.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Potentially too-long arcs. Prose that isn't necessarily quoteable. Not a lot of interiority and inner monologue (but if you don't like that, which I don't always, then it's not a weakness; just an observation).

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

It's totally fine. I don't do it much because my second language is Danish and I'm 1) I'm not fluent, 2) I've never set a fic in Denmark. I know people are really picky and can be mean about non-native speakers using their language in a fic, and I don't really get it. Many speakers don't use language perfectly, including native speakers, so, like, chill?

What's the first fandom you wrote for?

Cardcaptor Sakura when I was 10. First posted fic on AO3 was Monsters and Maidens | Jamie Lannister/Brienne of Tarth, that I wrote as a teenager. It's still up there.

What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet, but want to?

Solassan, and I'm being enabled by @solasisms, so it's gonna happen. >:)

What's your favorite fic you've ever written?

Flyboys changed my world, but I'll always have a really special place in my heart for Metal & Dust, my Pacific Rim fic. It wouldn't call it my absolute favorite, but I have really specific emotions tied to working on it that I really cherish.

Anyone who wants to do it, jump in here!

What are you absolute favorite kylux fics 👀

Oh boy. This is a big question. I thought about it all day.

So of course, there are the big name stories:

Children Wake Up, by hollycomb - Classic Kylux. One of the stories that got me into the ship. It's an epic tale longer than War and Peace, and it's quite the ride.

Flyboys, by Gefionne - It's just incredible. I can't believe the attention to historical detail, and the fanart associated with this fic is just stellar (I'd recommend checking out @littleststarfighter). This story broke my heart and then put it back together.

In A Place Where No One Appeared, by Gefionne - I love the storyline, and this one just has...vibes.

Both of these authors have several other Kylux fics that are also fantastic reads.

Gravity Well, by kyluxtrashcompactor - This one is plot heavy, which is cool, and I feel they do an excellent job of making Hux *actually mean*, which I struggle with. The setting is also awesome.

Diplomatic Indulgence, by FridayIncarnate - I love this one. It's so well characterized. I love the plot, and the "feeling" of it is so very accurate all the way around.

FridayIncarnate has several more that I love, but if I'm only picking a couple more it would be these two:

Into Retrograde - A great, fun adventure, with some really cool zero-G sex. It's awesome.

Break the Lock if it Don't Fit - a short oneshot that is an excellent story. Makes you hope and wonder about the future.

Miscellaneous other pieces:

Acid Rain, by RyloKen - I love an author that isn't afraid to write a tragedy. Fucked me up and I love them for it.

Now Loading..., by fedaykin - A really cool original idea, further enhanced by the use of art. I was quite impressed.

Twice the Pride, Double the Fall, by squire- An excellent mix of sweet, rude, and smutty. Classic.

Smut fics that reveal my secrets:

Unbridled, by thesevioletdelights - Kylo goes wild, Hux reaps the benefits, and so does the reader.

They Don't Call it a Job for Nothing, by thesevioletdelights - Pure, delightful smut.

Alpha Dog and Omegalomaniac, by notlikelybut possible - If you're into A/B/O, this is a great one, and it also has fantastic fanart by one of my favorite artists of all time, @itssteffnow.

There are many more I have read, and many more I will read again. I hope I've provided you with enjoyable reading material in the same way that these fantastic writers have for me!

Happy reading!!

I think my favourite gag in Fire Meet Gasoline is Kylo just behind the scenes going lowkey crazy trying to keep tabs on his sister and just about murdering anyone who actually tries to kill her, and then refusing to believe she's with Poe because he's convinced that his bisexual sister is fully into girls because she had one girlfriend when she was like sixteen.

Hux is in his ear mad as hell because he got choked that one time he tried to take her out with a star destroyer "she and Dameron took out dozens of our troops-" and he's there just like "I don't care, if anyone so much as fires at her I want them brought to me."

Then he's there with files of Black Squadron after they have a couple meetings in the field going "I've sensed her emotions, she's in love with one of them and that is why she refuses to join me" and again Hux is there going "it's Dameron you fucking idiot" and Kylo's like "hmm, no trust me she's gay as hell. It's the blue chick we saw her with that one time, she's into the blue chicks"

So when he eventually has her as a prisoner, with Poe and Snap locked up elsewhere, he's interrogating her. She's expecting the typical "where's your base" and instead he just shoves a bunch of files in her face prepared to negotiate and goes "Which one is it, they can either come with you or I'll kill them, your choice." So naturally she's terrified because Poe's on board only for her to contemplate how much of an idiot her brother is when he's accusing her of being in love with just about everyone but Poe.

"Kun's too old for you, is it the blue one or the other one, if you come to the dark side you can keep your girlfriend and your droid" and she's just looking at him wondering how stupid he really is while he's fully convinced his plan is fool proof. This is occurring as Snap takes the opportunity of Poe being imprisoned to force him to admit how he actually feels about Hope.

“Just say it.”

“Say what?”

“You know what?”

“No- no now is not the time for an intervention!”

Then Kylo gets into her head to get an answer and he's just so disappointed, half because she fell in love with a flyboy and half because Hux was right.

Top five Poe moments? 👀

I've answered this one a couple of times, but I've recently (ish) rewatched majority of the trilogy so I'm going to focus on scenes from those (as opposed to stuff from books + comics)!

that slide around he does in the x-wing at the start of tlj to take out the tie fighters from behind is. needlessly hot. I made a very embarrassing noise watching it the other night.

when he properly meets rey for the first time! I love how damn soft he gets around her, to the point even his theme gets a softer variant in the moment, it's the sweetest thing 🫶

honestly just the whole opening of tlj with the call to hux, full stop. Rian Johnson described it as smth like "pure star wars" in a recent interview and I heartily agree, it's the funniest fucking thing. "Hugs, with an H? Skinny guy, kind of pasty" did you know I'm in love with Poe Dameron, did you....did you know that?

I've also been having feelings about the lightspeed skipping scene lately because I think it perfectly shows the difference in Poe and how much he's grown - he's still that reckless flyboy he's always been, but he's steering that recklessness away from fights he doesn't need to tackle. He doesn't even try to confront the squadron(s) of ties, he's entirely focused on getting away — but he's still Poe, so he's gonna run away from the bad guys in the most exciting fashion possible. (it also adds smth I think to his argument with Rey and his frustration that all they're focusing on is the state of the Falcon, cos he's more focused on the fact that he managed to get everyone back safe).

when he shows back up in tfa on takodana. It doesn't matter how many times I've seen that movie, I feel the same amount of excitement and wonder as I did the first time I watched it (if not slightly increased) when he shows up on screen for the first time since the tie fighter escape 🫶

ask me my top five anything

i swear flyboys is the best fanfic ever. god, i love it so much. all those feels... T^T

[mi-caw-ber]

There was one time when you were standing with the sun behind you. Your hair was on fire And I was burning,

too. I’ve never wanted anything like that in my life. ‘Flyboys’ by @gefionne

This one’s for you. It’s far from being as beautiful as I wanted it to be but their Hangar Meetings will forever make my stomach flip in a very good way.

🎉

🎉 new years eve kisses for everyone  🎉(I did a random generator for a verse and it picked HUX MENTORING RECENTLY PRESSGANGED RECRUIT POE)

—

At least they were alone. If they hadn’t been.. well, he was already nervous enough. The way their relationship was progressing was entirely inappropriate. He had even considered asking to have Poe placed under someone else.

But-- ah, he knew from experience that another officer-- especially an older one-- wasn’t less likely to take advantage of the pilot. Which, when he thought about it, was really what he was doing, wasn’t it?! The whole thing set him on edge. 

He was worried the pilot could tell, if not from his posture then from the loud beat of his heart. Especially this close, crammed into an empty shuttle on the flight deck, a bottle of wine half empty at their feet. His lips were hovering over Dameron’s, his hands were wandering. “If I go to far,�� he breathed, “tell me.” He’d said it already, he’d said it many times. But he had to say it one more time, before he leaned in and kissed him hard, kissing with an open mouth, with teeth and tongue. He wanted him so bad, and he was so tired of being good.

I’ve wanted to do fanart for Flyboys for a while, its still one of my top 5 favorite fics of all time. If you havn’t read Flyboys by the amazing  Gefionne yet, I can’t recommend it enough.
