#it was the same with Kylo who resisted for a so long time when so many would have fall way before that

[phytine]

Sometimes I'm tired about fandoms handling "daddy/mommie issues". Of course it can be used as a joke but with times it trivialises the story and traumatism the character went trough because of their parents as if it was just teenage crisis/rebellion against autority and not some fucking serious issues.

Of course some are going to tell it's for the joke but most of the time, it changes the fandom's perception of the character little by little and when you want to read post/fanfic/meta about a canon version of the character with this fanon approach it gets frustrating.

Content warning: fem!reader x Kylo; zero plot just smut, piv (unprotected), a bit sleepy I guess?, fainting mentioned

Author’s note: This is a 'hey, I'm alive' short shot (although I do have a cold). Next part of Insufferable in the works, meanwhile I hope you enjoy this one ;)

Y/N woke up in the middle of the night.

She didn't remember much. Last night, there was a fight, a scramble with the Resistance somewhere at the base, and she fainted amidst the chaos. It was Kylo who took her into his own arms and, after Y/N had been checked by the medics, brought her to his own chambers. She came to in his arms, and slept in them later on, feeling safer than ever before. It was their first time feeling each other's bodies up close, and despite the exhaustion of the battle, other things did come to their minds. After a day they both spent on exchanging tense glances, as if unsure if they should act on their desires, she fell asleep again… But not for long.

Kylo was sitting in the armchair next to the bed with his shirt open, reading something on his datapad despite the late hour. When he saw her stir, however, he immediately set it aside.

"Finally," he said with clear relief, setting the black, silky sheets aside. Y/N slowly rubbed her eyes, trying to make them work after the nap. She almost felt like she woke up in another dimension.

"Come here," he said quietly, then kissed her gently on the lips as if waking the Sleeping Beauty. Y/N smiled at that, but she knew it was barely scratching the surface. Such light kisses were not what Kylo was known for.

"Do you ever sleep?" she asked as she kept on rubbing her eyes. Kylo let out a short chuckle and soon enough, his hands were on her, unable to stay at his sides.

She suddenly felt him starting to unbutton her shirt. She didn't oppose, quite the contrary - she was grateful, because she felt like she was sweating excessively from the heat of the nap, and yet her pounding head remembered that she had absolutely nothing on under her shirt.

Kylo seemed to have noticed it at the same time. When she felt that nothing was covering her chest anymore, she heard his heavy breathing. It happened and she couldn't even hide behind her hair. Y/N almost jumped when she felt his icy cold hand between her breasts. He didn't even have his gloves on.

"Don't worry, you're safe… Can you breathe normally?" he asked with genuine concern, so different from his usual demeanour.

"Definitely not now," she replied, gasping for breath. He felt her heart beating beneath his hand and he couldn't explain why he couldn't take his hand away. He moved it slightly to the left breast, which had consequences for both of them.

The excitement surged through them with redoubled force. Y/N unconsciously tightened her grip on the sheets, lifting her legs just a little.

"Your heart is beating too fast," Kylo gasped, and then she finally managed to open her eyes. Kylo's huge frame was leaning over her, without his helmet, and he was piercing her with such eyes that made her feel small and completely exposed.

"If you keep on doing this… It will," she looked at his hand, still on her bare breast, "it will beat even faster."

Another shiver ran through her, and a strange, tingling sensation appeared in her lower abdomen. Kylo slowly, with little pressure, moved his hand from her breast, along her belly, to the waistband of her pants. He pulled it down and, although she couldn't see it from her position, it was too low for any decency.

The situation was clear to both of them: the tension that had been growing between them for a long time was finally going to explode. He froze in that position for a moment.

"Do you feel okay?" he whispered.

She looked at his hand, then back at him with a soft smile.

"I do… But you could make it better."

A new wave of excitement washed over both of them as Kylo climbed back onto the bed and hovered over her.

He used the Force to take her clothes off of her after she gave him an encouraging nod. Soon, there was no turning back. She lay before him, fully exposed, shackled by so many emotions she couldn't shake off. Something stirred in Kylo as he stared at her shamelessly, admiring what he had revealed. He had been thinking about this moment ever since he met her years ago.

He raised both of his hands to place them on either side of her, keeping himself comfortably above her. He could see that she liked it as she ogled him from underneath, trying to catch a glimpse of his partially exposed chest.

When Kylo lowered himself to kiss her once again, everything around them disappeared. Flesh began to rub against flesh, and their hearts began to beat in the same rhythm. Y/N buried her hands in his hair, and with one hand he lifted her by the waist, holding her as close to him as possible. When the frenzy subsided enough for her to regain some rational thought, after what felt like an eternity, she tore her mouth away from him and pulled his head towards her.

"I want you, Kylo," she whispered straight into his ear. She made Kylo feel things that he never thought were possible.

He moved closer to her ear, brushing his lips against it and whispered, "You'll get what you want."

He removed the hand that was supporting her waist and moved it to her right knee. He slowly moved one of her legs to the side, then did the same with the other. There was another burst of emotions, and she clutched the sheets again. She closed her eyes, waiting for him to move.

He used the Force again, this time to get rid of his own pants. Y/N knew he was ready and she couldn't wait. Everything else was forgotten, the only thing that mattered to them was the other person. Kylo moved his hand under her waist again to lift her a little, and placed his other hand on the headboard of the bed. He lowered himself, she moaned, and the clock struck midnight. He filled her up to the brim, much larger than she was, able to hold her like a doll. She didn't even expect him to feel half as good as he did.

Kylo waved a hand, putting out all the lights in the room. Their other senses went crazy. He couldn't believe the effect her moan had on him when he jerked forward for the first time. The lack of light captured the imagination of both of them, stirring the blood in their veins.

No one could hear those heavy breaths, moans and whispers, the rustle of the sheets, not even the moon was a witness to them, hidden somewhere behind the clouds from which white fluff was falling. It was just the two of them, darkness and pleasure like they had never experienced before.

And Y/N had a feeling it wasn't the last time she could wake up to this.

Hello! May I request general hux with a resistance reader who saves him like he's all bleeding out and dieing but the reader comes along and scoops him up to patch him up for whatever reason maybe they know he's the spy or smth? Anyway have a good day and take care of yourself :)

-🍷

a/n: I am very happy to write about star wars))) thanks for the request! Looking forward to more posts from you guys!

warnings: language (?), mention of blood and violence, reader's POV, I don't know what first order prison cells look like

pairing: Armitage Hux x fem!resistance!reader

hux! hux?

All I found was blood running from my lip and dripping onto the floor of the cell the First Order put me in. In fact, there was nothing surprising in the fact that I was in captivity. When you fight for freedom, you prepare yourself for the fact that sooner or later you will have to give up your life or freedom for your goal.

They needed someone who has information, well, and in addition, someone who knows Rey and her plans (apparently for Kylo Ren's personal purposes, each time he can get it as he can).

I wiped the blood from my face with my palm and found scarlet spots on the skin. I've been in possession for so long that I've already lost track of time. But it was better than facing endless interrogations and forceful methods again. In order not to go crazy, I count the scratches on the seemingly safe walls of my cell and have almost reached a hundred ...

Out of my field of vision, hurried, ragged steps were heard, as if my unexpected guest doubted his actions. I was filled with curiosity, but I didn't move, only peering out of the corner of my eye at the metal that had replaced the wall that opened onto the corridor. But my brain suddenly flashed when something red flashed behind the wall. I turned my head too, extremely sharply when I realized who exactly disturbed my prison peace.

Hux.

Hux!

Hux?

The First Order general stood in front of the door that led to the cell, his face haughty and his chin held high. My brows furrowed as soon as I saw him. He was alone, unguarded, and not even Phasma was around. The corridor was completely empty, only two sides of the same war face to face, separated this time only by an iron grid of bars.

Something was clearly wrong, and you didn't have to be Force sensitive to feel it.

-You,- he said harshly to me. -Come here immediately.

I raised my eyebrows, amazed at the turn of events.

-For what? -I said with a stupid smile. -To what? He grinned viciously, quickly turning his head to the sides, surveying the corridor.

-Get over here quickly, Y/L!- he hissed angrily through his teeth, inaudibly hitting the iron with his fist.

The smile immediately disappeared from my face, and I cautiously got up from the bunk, striding over the distance between them, cautiously pushing my shoulder forward, as if for an attack.

-Closer! You want the entire First Order to run? Stupid revolutionary...!

-Yes, I’m coming!”-I interrupted his angry tirade and slid closer to the grate, crossing my arms over my chest. -What owes such close attention to the general personally?

He rolled his eyes in annoyance at my outburst.

- What, the sadistic vein woke up? Came to take another session of torture? I said that I...

-I'm a spy.

I froze in mid-sentence, interrupted by his sharp, like a shot, statement, and my hands fell like those of a weak-willed rag doll.

-What?- I blurted out involuntarily.

-I'm a spy! How many more times do you have to say it before it gets to your rebel head? I am a spy for the First Order.

My face stretched and my stomach twisted into a tight tube as my mind frantically processed what it had just said and the full meaning finally dawned on me.

-It can not be...

-May be.

-But why?! How so?! - I had a hundred questions and a hundred words spinning on my tongue, but I managed to say only this, and that, with great difficulty. Hux chuckled, eyes flashing.

-I don't care who wins - the Resistance or the First Order, I want Kylo Ren to lose.

-Kriff…- I breathed. Armitage Hux was a fucking traitor, the one who sent data to the Resistance, helped us all along. It couldn't even be called a dream, more like a hallucination, a mirage that caused the hot sun if I was on Tatooine now.

-That changes everything... That's all...- I almost suffocated from everything that was happening. -Kriff...- I looked up at him, thinking that I would find at least a hint that he was lying, but at the mention of Kylo Ren, his face was contorted with such anger that there was no doubt left - he had just confessed to me that he was spying for the Resistance. -And now what? How can I use this information?

Hux lifted his chin again.

- I have data that will be useful to the Resistance. I will give them to you, and you will give them to your general.

-I don’t know if it’s noticeable or not,- I giggled nervously, leaning my shoulder against the cold wall. - But I'm still in the cell. I'm in prison. And a little shocked, but that doesn't matter. Now I wanted to laugh out loud, loud enough for the whole galaxy to hear. Kriff, Poe, and Finn will rip me to the bone if they find out!

Hux rolled his eyes in annoyance again.

- I'll help you leave so that you pay the least attention to yourself and make the least noise. As you usually do, children of Leia.

I thought.

-Why do you think I'll believe you, red-headed bastard?- I said low and softly, staring fixedly at his painfully pale face. He curled his lips arrogantly.

-Don't think. You have no other choice, rebel scum. Well, do you just rot here.

x x x

Surprisingly, this red-haired trickster kept his word and pulled me out of the cell. True, of course, damn it, it didn’t work out without noise, and we drew attention to ourselves. Both. And now Hux was called not a spy, but a traitor and a deserter.

I picked up the stunned stormtrooper's new blaster as I fired at the others around the corner. There was nothing left before the cherished ship, here they are, the cherished couple of meters to my freedom, a little more, and I will again be able to breathe deeply.

I pulled the trigger on the blaster again, glare flickered down the hallway. I saw that somewhere, among the stormtroopers, Hux was flickering - he was darting about in a black-orange spot against the background of light armor and it was hard not to notice him, but he worried me the least while I was fighting for my life again. My eyes were covered with a scarlet veil of excitement and hatred, while the blaster in my hands heated up, and the soldiers remained less and less. Somewhere I heard a loud exclamation, and a strange, dull thud, but I did not pay attention, jumping out from around the corner and removing the rest of the obstacles from the horizon, making my way to the ships.

I looked at every centimeter I passed—quickly, but quickly, adrenaline filled my limbs with unprecedented lightness, blood pounded in my ears, and then my eyes opened and closed several times.

-what, you got shot?- I asked for some reason, as if it was not obvious from Hux, who was pinned to the wall, and a pool of blood near him.

He didn't answer, just looking at me in fear.

-Kriff…- I muttered, shoving the Imperial blaster into my belt. -Where to?-Where is the injury?

He shook his head and I saw how his uniform was smoking in the area of ​​the left shoulder.

-Well, how is it ... - for some reason, I escaped with regret. -Give me a hand. I extended my hand to him.

-Go away,- he fished out a block with information from his pocket with great difficulty and jabbed it at my shoulder.

This made me angry. For some reason I wanted to help him stay alive, he would have died anyway, if I had left him here, he would either bleed out or be shot before I got to the base.

Why am I thinking about this?

I'm sure it's only because he pulled me out of the cell.

Only because of this.

I'm sure.

- And he said that I was a fool, - with an unprecedented force for myself, I grabbed his collar of a black uniform and pulled it towards me, putting the already former general on his feet. Hux immediately hunched over, almost collapsing. -Give at least a modicum of effort so I can help!- I barked at him.

He gave me a wild look, but complied, wrapping his good arm around me like a lifeline.

-You would have been killed here anyway, but at least there is a small chance that you will live longer ...- I muttered to myself under my breath, dragging him along with me. - I'm sure Leia will be very ... glad ...

-She'll kill me.- He protested weakly.

-She won’t kill you,- I drawled. -Other guys are doing this in the Resistance. Moreover, we value guys like you, well, who know a lot about the rear of the enemy. - The power slowly began to leave me, but there was not much left. -Besides, from our base it is much more interesting to watch the defeat of Kylo Ren than dangerously close to him.

Hux mumbled something incomprehensibly, hobbling, trying to echo my heavy steps. Probably agreed. How strange.

x x x

The troughs of the First Order weren't as disgusting as I had previously thought. The general collapsed on another seat, sighing as if he was about to split into two. The ship jumped into hyperspace and I jumped out of my pilot's seat, grabbing my first aid kit.

-Come on, taking off your tunic.-I ordered, and Hux immediately stopped dragging out his extreme drama, again looking at me in fear.

-You look like I haven’t seen naked men.- I grunted, sitting on the floor. -Come on, come on, I’ll treat you, General Hux.

***THE ACOLYTE SPOILERS***

• Me, seconds before I could hear millions of thirsty voices crying out: Oh my god is a nymph-bathing thing about to happen, is he legitimately about to strip

• Sadly, unlike Osha, I am immune to the Stranger's practically full frontal, but the reveal of his little tied-back hair bits at the same time had me screaming into a pillow, so we all win.

• So the island was definitely meant to evoke Ahch-To, right? This was a very The Last Jedi episode (it even had the same mismatched pacing for the three storylines lmao), and the Kylo Ren theme was the most prominent it's been in the end credits. I think the theories about Qimir being a progenitor of the Ren are spot on. I like this quite a bit; it would be smart to build off of High Republic stuff while cementing Resistance-era lore. This would line up with the Bad Batch building off of the Clone Wars stuff while cementing Resistance-era lore. I also personally find it a bit boring that Bane's lineage is laid out all neatly and am particularly interested in darksiders being outside of it. And it would mean the show is drawing even more from the books and comics, which I'm always in favor of. And fun fact, my second-ever SW fic was based on the Rise of Kylo Ren comics!

• But ALSO, given that they clearly showed the cortosis vein, it also evokes Bal'demnic, the planet where Plagueis kills Tenebrous omg??? Not to be an annoying fanboy, but I adore the Darth Plagueis novel and we're apparently supposed to see two additional Sith Lords before the season ends somehow??? And in the novel, Tenebrous secretly trains multiple apprentices. I could totally see the season ending with Qimir suffering a vague fate and an extremely brief Tenebrous appearance that leaves the door open for a season 2 big bad. That David Harewood casting rumor is too delicious to be fake!

• On that note, since episode 2, I haven't been able to stop thinking about how when we're introduced to Qimir, he's sleeping, and he's awoken by Mae, who is now confirmed to have been his apprentice. Which is notably how Palpatine kills Plagueis. It just feels so much like a neat little allusion to me.

• Did this episode not have such Mend This Old Wound vibes?? Waking up in your enemy's lair, finding out your wounds were tended to by him, realizing he really wants to convert you, discovering he doesn't find you a threat, being surprised by his vulnerability, being surprised by what of his past and his inner self he's willing to divulge. Tbh I hadn't even realized how tropey those elements were until I watched this lmao.

• Sadly, despite my lifelong love for enemies-to-lovers stories, I don't vibe with a lot of M/F ships, bad boy/good girl ones especially. I'm happy for the Oshmir shippers, though, and at least it's happening in a story created by a queer woman, so hopefully it'll be done tastefully. Hmm... Perhaps if I genderbent Qimir I could get behind writing something, and then the seduction to the dark side would be strengthened by the queer metaphor...

• BUT ALSO YOOO OSHA/JECKI CONFIRMED???? And after Dafne Keen confirmed that she played Jecki as having a crush on Osha?? Y'all, Osha was TOTALLY floating the idea of asking Jecki out on a date with that whole "the next time I'm on Coruscant" thing, oh my goddd. The gays continue to be buried, but at least they exist, and I guess at least everyone else is buried, too?

• I love that we got a quiet moment of Sol grieving because finally there was nobody watching and he couldn't hold it together any longer. This is what I was begging for the entire run of the Bad Batch. Wonderfully acted, too. Lee Jung-Jae's expression work is so good, and I love the long, lingering shot and how you see the tears well up gradually.

• I love when actors have to act as characters acting, and Amandla Stenberg was already acting as two different characters that they had to keep distinct from each other, but in this episode, they had to act as one of their characters acting as the other character lmao. Incredible.

• Halfway through this episode I was like, why does it feel like we're getting blueballed for information omfg. We're definitely getting the second Brendok flashback episode next week, and obviously they had to keep it at the forefront of the viewers' minds without giving it away, but I feel like structurally they could've lined this up in a different way that didn't just reveal nothing in order to kick the can down the road lol. I guess this is a pretty classic issue in mysteries.

• I've been deeply confused as to why there's been so much Jedi-good/Jedi-bad discourse lately, but I don't see them as firmly in either court and that to me feels like the entire point of the part they play in the story?? Which is why I always love seeing the tension in the Jedi-Senate relationship and the way the political machinations play out, especially when Palpatine's not involved (at least overtly).

So I really liked Vernestra's conversation with the senator and the line about the Jedi always being transparent so an audit shouldn't be an issue and how the show clearly illustrates that that's not remotely true. Which is also really interesting because we have Sol doing a cover-up, possibly him and the other three Jedi who were Brendok doing a different cover-up, and also Vernestra, who doesn't know about what happened on Brendok or what Sol is hiding, clearly looking uncomfortable at the suggestion that the Jedi are transparent, pointing to other things they (or she specifically) haven't been disclosing.

I'm a sucker for political corruption in stories and when well-meaning people's hands are tied, so I'm eating it up. And of course I love how they're setting up the Jedi's fall from grace and building out context for why and how they would walk into Palpatine's trap.

• Qimir talking about being a Jedi a very long time ago is very intriguing. Upon seeing his scar, my first thought was Force lightning and that he was talking about being abandoned by a Sith master. But with Vernestra's whip making an appearance that doesn't add anything to the story otherwise, the show is clearly presenting it as the cause of the scar?? Which is VERY interesting.

• Mog's suggestion that Sol killed all the Jedi made my jaw drop because why would they even speak this outrageous idea into existence if it doesn't have truth to it in some way??? Like oh shit, that's REALLY fun. Has Sol killed Jedi before? Would he? Are the other Jedi wary of him? Do they feel the same way about the other three Jedi who were on Brendok? Mog specifically notes that Sol is very powerful. We already saw this with him going up against Qimir and surviving, so why this line?

• Sol was already my favorite character from the start just with how warm he was and how full of regret and how much he clearly loved Osha even though he wasn't supposed to, and every episode has drawn the darkness simmering within him closer to the surface, which brings him even closer to the kind of character I'm particularly fond of, so I'm very, very interested in where the show takes him. I don’t know if they could really swing Sith Master Sol, but Lee Jung-Jae sure as hell could act it.

• Can I just say, the writing for this show is definitely wobbly, but I at least appreciate that showrunner Leslye Headland has a refreshing understanding of story mechanics, even if she might love foils a little too much (and this is coming from a total foil whore). What she said about a good plot twist being built up so that the viewer realizes what's about to happen just before it's fulfilled instead of coming out of nowhere and being a total shock literally made me pump my fist because I've been complaining about the internet's poor understanding of this concept for literal years!! And the way she talked about how when you watch Jecki die, you want her to move out of the way so you can see the Stranger's face, and how in thinking that you've betrayed her and in a way become complicit in her death, is SO good.

• It's too bad all live-action Star Wars ever is doomed to have mediocre dialogue. But at least these things make me feel fairly confident in having high hopes for the Brendok reveal. And regardless of what happens, I am so excited to see goddess Mother Aniseya again next episode, omg omg!!!

[enkisstories]

Rose and the emperor are still standing in the suddenly strangely empty Resistance camp. The place, that had been so lively earlier today, with the residents even making room for mirth, despite the seriousness of their situation, now looks like a mere backdrop to the scene. At Palpatine's feet Hux is writhing, as the emperor uses him to convince Rose to join his side.

Armitage: "Take... your... time. All the... time you... want. Be what I couldn't be... yourself. I don't care... whether that's... good or... evil, as long... as it's... what you want to be."

But for the hostage it is too late. Whatever Rose decides, he won't be around anymore to hear it. The pain is too much. Hux reaches for Rose's holster with the heavy blaster...

...but just in this moment she takes a step forward. Lucky coincidence? Or something guiding her feet?

Rose: "You better stop with this! You tried this tactic before and it didn't work out in your favour! Do you remember? The story of your defeat was shared and the galaxy has learned from it!"

Palpatine: "So, did it? Look at him and his boasting of an "alliance" against me. A majestic fleet swooping in to save the galaxy in a big show of "friendship is power". But my - temporary - fall was brought about by the actions of outstanding individuals, not a herd. Are YOU an outstanding individual, Rose Tico? I daresay you are."

Rose: "I know who wasn't: Master Skywalker."

Genuine surprise stands written in the emperor's face. Never before has he heard such an accusation spoken, not even by Kylo Ren. Luke Skywalker - an ordinary grunt?

Rose: "Skywalker believed, not in that Vader was still good or could become good, but in that there "was still good in him". Some good. Just enough to coax Vader into doing for Skywalker, what he wouldn't have done for an unrelated person tortured by you to the same degree as Skywalker."

Palpatine: "Vader saved the fruit of his unions with Amidala. A biological function."

Rose: "Yes. The hope for the galaxy was that Vader was not that far gone already, that his darkness would override even this primeval urge: protecting his brood. The fact that this was what he had over you is pretty condemning for you, Palpatine!"

Vader and the galaxy had gotten saved not by Luke, but by literal love, the love that had existed between Anakin and Padme. Luke had only been the living embodiement of that love. Not being a superhuman, but believing in this love had been his achievement.

Rose: "When our individual strength and will falter, the Force will still be there and it will do... things through us. I trust love and the Force more than whatever you can promise me, emperor-soon-to-be-no-more."

The lightning subsides, leaving a gasping, twitching, but still very much alive victim. Strangely, Armitage hasn't resorted to even a single pest-control based insult in this whole encounter. No scum, rat, insect or vermin whatsoever.

Ah, right, Rose's brain realizes. It's because this is my dream and I don't know any good ones.

And then she, too, wakes up.

Hux Crisis #2

I remarked yesterday that I was having another Hux crisis. (The first Hux crisis is documented a little bit here.) Basically, my Hux crises are caused by my personal understanding of him coming into apparent conflict with canon depictions. This also happened to me with Carlos the Scientist from Welcome to Night Vale. The situation isn't great; historically it has caused me to stop writing for a long time while I recalibrated my headcanons.

Because I'm hoping that won't happen this time, I originally wasn't going to discuss it too much, but then this morning I saw this post:

When I saw this, I just felt like that it fit Hux so well. The idea that his family line might be cursed in some way, resulting in all his perceived failures, is narratively compelling to me. It made me want to write down my thoughts and feelings about Hux.

I didn't want to clutter up OP's notes with my nonsense, so I made a screenshot for this post. If you want to see/reblog the original, I reblogged it here.

Let's get into it.

We know JJ named Hux after a name he saw on a gravestone. He wanted Hux to be a tragic character from the beginning. And Hux was. We learned that he'd grown up being abused, and that it's likely he was stolen from his mother when he was taken/rescued from his home planet during the New Republic siege. And of course we saw the tragedy continue through the films:

The stormtrooper program wound up producing a Resistance general

Starkiller Base was destroyed

The Fulminatrix was destroyed

The Supremacy was destroyed

Kylo Ren became Supreme Leader

The First Order failed to wipe out the Resistance on Crait

And finally, Hux was found out as the spy and executed

It could be argued that many of these things were failures on Hux's part. The comics give us even more failures: in Journey to TLJ: Captain Phasma, he does not issue an official evacuation order when Starkiller Base begins to collapse, which enables Phasma to keep troopers who saw her from surviving to report it, and probably also resulted in unnecessary losses. He also seems not to question Phasma's version of how the shields were lowered on Starkiller. In Hyperspace Stories #8, which seems to be set pre-TFA, he loses control of a wild creature called a Bramalish that he set upon a non-cooperative colony.

I get chalking all of this up to incompetence, to thinking that Hux kept failing because he was stupid or prideful.

But we have evidence to the contrary.

Hyperspace Stories #8 also shows us Hux is quick to adapt to change. When Ren arrives to fight the Bramalish, Hux orders the stormtroopers to help him immediately. When Ren brings back the city leader whose cooperation will secure the First Order's power, Hux instantly adjusts to "negotiating with" (threatening) him. While I won't deny that setting a Bramalish loose believing the stormtroopers could contain it was a miscalculation, the strategy was to terrorize the populace, and it worked. That plus Ren's contributions scored the First Order a win.

In the comic Star Wars Adventures #30, set between TLJ and TROS, Hux's plan is to send stormtroopers to Vendaxa to follow a lead that the Resistance might be there. It's Supreme Leader Ren who insists on going personally. Hux goes with him because he sees an opportunity to ingratiate himself to Ren, and he actually manages to get Ren to say he has earned his trust, "for now." It turns out there was no need for the leader of the First Order to go to Vendaxa personally. The Resistance isn't even there, and Ren and Hux wind up in mortal danger. I think it can be safely argued that Hux was right, and circumstances (Kylo Ren) worked against him.

In that same comic, Hux tells Ren, "I put my stormtroopers in charge of reconnaissance because leadership is trusting the people you lead to do their jobs." The loss of the Fulminatrix seems ludicrous in light of these words. Canady stood around waiting to be micromanaged; Hux is not a micromanager. (I ranted about this separately here.)

And then, of course, we have Age of Resistance - General Hux, another pre-TFA story. This is not only where we see more of Hux's abusive childhood, but also where we see him at his craftiest. He uses Ren's identity to manipulate Bylsma, and then he uses the shuttle sabotage to justify killing one of his childhood abusers. From this, it's clear he's not an idiot.

Let's go through the other perceived failures with a more critical eye.

First, the stormtrooper program. Yes, it "failed" in that Finn resisted his conditioning, as did Jannah and her company. But what percentage of stormtroopers actually defected or deserted? How does it compare to other militaries' defection/desertion rates? Is it even possible to have 100% loyalty? While I don't think we know the answer to the first two questions, the answer to the third is absolutely no.

The destruction of Starkiller Base would not have been possible without the shield being lowered. Hux knew the oscillator was a weak point and had it protected, not just by shields but by squadrons of fighters. It took an extraordinary series of events for the Resistance to win.

Trusting Phasma is either a blind spot, or he's playing the long game, as fellow kyluxers pointed out on my original Hux crisis post. Phasma conspired with him to kill Brendol; this was in both their self-interests, not the First Order's. If anything, TLJ cemented their relationship as a partnership. It's not a stretch to think Hux knows Phasma's true loyalty is to herself, and that he considers having her as a partner more advantageous than not. It's a gamble, but she's a powerful ally. I've wondered if their conversation when she returns to the Finalizer is coded...if what Hux is really asking is how well she covered her tracks.

(The fact that he doesn't seem to dwell on the loss of Starkiller, either in the Captain Phasma comic or at the beginning of TLJ, and he just looks annoyed when it's brought up in TROS, implies that he is forward-thinking, which is a vital quality in a leader.)

Hux not managing to keep Ren from becoming Supreme Leader is understandable. He's ready to kill Ren, but Ren stirs. Hux knows he can't defeat Ren in a fight. And unfortunately, Hux has rarely been able to talk Ren into anything. This is the rare moment he breaks emotionally: he's lost Starkiller, he's lost the Supremacy, and now he's lost Snoke, the one thing that has been protecting him from Ren. I don't think his action or inaction here is indicative of his intelligence so much as his trauma.

The battle of Crait wasn't actually lost. It simply wasn't a total victory. And the reason wasn't Hux or his commands. It was Kylo Ren. Without Ren there, the First Order would have wiped the Resistance out.

Hux being found out as a spy was, I've always thought, at least partially because Finn shot him in the leg instead of the arm. You'd think an enemy would aim for the head or chest. The arm would have been a more believable miss location. But of course, it also happened because of Hux's choice to report the escape to Pryde himself instead of going to medbay and sending a subordinate. This one I can't find a good explanation for, except maybe that he thought he would seem more loyal if he went personally. (I like to think it was because he knew Pryde would shoot him, and he took advantage of that to fake his own death.)

I'm showing obvious bias here, but even I can admit Hux isn't flawless. He can make mistakes and succumb to emotions like any other human. I just believe, based on my understanding of canon, that not everything he did was a mistake. In fact, I'd argue that the majority of his failures were due to circumstances outside his control. It's tragic, like JJ intended.

Because of that, I think that cursed family line idea fits really well. Maybe Hux finds out about the curse just when he's on the verge of giving up, and it makes him try even harder out of spite. Could he break free of the curse? Or is he doomed, like every other Hux?

Masterpost

“He knows we’re here? How?” Poe asked.

It took all of a second of looking at her to understand they most likely connected once more. Grabbing Poe’s hand and beginning to move, “The how doesn’t matter, we need to get out of here, now.”

You mentally beat yourself up slightly as you allowed yourself to lose focus and not understand that Kylo had connected with Rey again but knew it wasn’t the time. The group began to pick up the pace and run as fast as you could through the crowd, aiming towards where you had landed the ship.

As your team was running, “Freeze! Hold it right there.”

A stormtrooper with his gun held up towards you spoke, “I’ve located the Resistance fugitives. All units, report-”

He was suddenly cut short with an arrow through his eye, your group flinching as the arrow flew past. 

Turning to look behind, there was a humanoid figure wearing a helmet, a crossbow in his hands, “Follow me.”

Your group shared a small look before begrudgingly following the person who turned and began walking. There was a pill shaped land trawler with decorations hung up on all sides, the person making towards an opening in the side.

“Hurry,” they stepped up to another door inside that led to the front where the driver was, “Leia sent me a transmission.” They slid open an eyehole and spoke a foreign language temporarily with a creature beyond the door, seemingly operating the vehicle.

“How’d you find us?” Finn asked, regaining his breath.

They took off their helmet and revealed themselves to be… Lando Calrissian! You only recognized him through Leia’s memories but knew he was someone that you could trust.

“Wookies stand out in a crowd,” he smirked.

Chewbacca immediately let out a few noises and pushed forward to wrap him in a hug, reuniting with an old friend.

Lando laughed, “It’s good to see you too buddy!”

“This is General Lando Calrissian,” 3PO chimed in.

“We know who he is, 3PO,” Rey responded, turning toward the golden droid with a knowing look.

“It is an honor, General,” Finn said with admiration.

“General Calrissian, we’re looking for Exegol,” Poe got to business as you didn’t have much time before the First Order most likely swarmed the place.

He took a look at each of you before replying, “Of course you are.” He raised his arm to show his wrist, clicking a button on the device there to display a hologram of the Sith wayfinder, “Only two were made.”

“A Sith wayfinder,” Rey exclaimed. “Luke Skywalker came here to find one.”

He chuckled, “I know. I was with him. Luke and I were tailing an old Jedi hunter.” He clicked a button once more and displayed a pale looking fish-like man, “Ochi of Bestoon. He was carrying a clue that could lead to a wayfinder. We followed his ship halfway across the galaxy here. When we got to his ship, it was abandoned. No clue. No wayfinder.”

Rey’s eyebrow dropped in thought, “Is Ochi’s ship still here?”

“It’s out in the desert, where he left it.”

“We need to get to that ship, search it again,” Rey spoke with vigor.

Her trepidation worried you slightly but you understood her anxiety all the same.

After she had spoken, the sounds of transports began to fill your ears through the crowd, leading you and Calrissian to peek out the window of the machine you were in. To your annoyance, there were multiple TIE’s and troop transports flying overhead.

“I got a bad feeling about this,” Lando admitted. Turning to your team once more, “Ochi’s ship is out past Lurch Canyon, go.”

“Thank you, General,” you spoke, offering him a grateful smile as your team began to move out.

“You too, Chewie,” Lando responded to Chewbacca’s roar for him to keep safe.

“Leia needs pilots, General,” Rey turned at the door to face Lando one last time.

“My flying days are long gone. But do me a favor, give Leia my love,” he smiled.

“You should give it to her yourself. Thank you,” Rey finalized before she jumped out of the vehicle, you following after.

Your group began running the moment your feet hit the ground, curving around a stone structure for cover Poe shouted, “There! Those speeders.”

There were two speeders parked just on the outside of the crowd that your group veered over towards. When you arrived, Poe wasted no time getting on his back and underneath the speeder.

“We don’t have the ignition keys, we need to keep moving,” you commented, looking around to scout.

You barely got the words out before the speeder suddenly revved up and turned on, Poe popping out from under it and opening a side panel on the other one to snip some wires.

“How do you know how to do that?” Finn asked, an expectant look on his face.

You turned to face the speeder and approached as well, “Yeah, Poe, how do you know how to do that?”

Hotwiring was a skill Poe never told you he had and as far as you knew, was a skill he wouldn’t have just picked up in the Resistance.

“No need to worry, I made it!” C3PO finally approached as his frame didn’t allow him to have much mobility.

A group of the natives began shouting and moving in your direction and you realized you were most likely stealing their speeders. 

“We gotta go,” Poe cut both of your questions short and moved to get on the speeder.

With a sigh, you got on the speeder as well, making sure to remember to ask Poe about it later. You were on one of the speeders with Rey, Chewie, and BB-8 while Poe and Finn took up the other with 3PO. You rushed off into the desert, aiming towards Ochi’s ship that wasn’t quite in sight yet. To your dismay, within moments, lasers began flying past you and you turned to see troopers on the chase. Without wasting any time, Rey turned and began firing back with her pistol as Chewie began to shoot as well. Igniting your sabers, you focused on defense as throwing one of them at this speed and with such rough terrain would prove tremendously difficult. There were two speeders trailing you with two troopers on each one, soon to be only a singular trooper as the speeders suddenly tipped forward and launched the troopers on the back. They began flying as the jetpacks on their backs activated and you were soon being attacked on two fronts. 

“Oh! They fly now!” 3PO shouted.

“They fly now?” Finn also shouted, adding to the surprise.

“They fly now,” Poe affirmed, turning back to focus on driving.

Rey began evasive maneuvers as you now had to dodge from two different directions in a rather open area, your footing nearly coming loose as you attempted to deflect the laser bolts. 

“We can’t keep this up forever!” you yelled over the sounds of the chase.

As if the trooper could hear you and wanted to hammer the point home, one of the flying ones sent out missiles from his gun, flying overhead and landing just in front of your speeder to try and avoid your sabers and destroy your transport. Luckily for your group, while dodging you came across tall mountain structures that Finn and Poe were able to funnel through. Unfortunately, your speeder was separated from Poe’s but at the least they weren’t in open coverage any longer. 

Still trying to avoid the missiles from above and the blasts from the speeder behind you, BB-8 began chirping loudly, something about a gas canister.

“Not now, BB-8!” Rey managed to respond over her steering.

Managing a look from the corner of your eye as you deflected, BB-8 began to poke at the gas canister that was sitting in the back of the speeder. After a few attempts at prodding at it, it suddenly ignited and flew into the air, exploding into a yellow powder bomb that acted as a smokescreen. It wasn’t long before the trooper followed you out of the smoke but with his sight impeded so heavily, he ended up driving straight into a small rock that acted as a ramp, sending him up into the air.

With a yell, Rey hit the handbrake on the speeder and drifted you to the side, using her other arm to aim at the speeder that was now directly above you and fire underneath it at its engine. After a few laser bolts, the speeder exploded, a few parts being flung in your direction that you blocked with the force after throwing your arms up in defense. 

“Never underestimate a droid!” Rey said with a smile as she resumed steering.

The other transport was still presumably following Poe’s speeder as you had no sight of it, though now both of the flying troopers were on your tail. Thankfully, Chewie managed to get a shot off on one of them, his jetpack malfunctioning and sending him slamming against the ground. Now, a ship was finally visible, resting just atop a small stone structure in the middle of an open desert, other mid-sized mountain ranges scattered along the horizon. 

“Ochi’s ship! I’ve seen that ship before,” Rey called out.

“Rey! You get all of them?” Finn called out, making you look to your left to see them now riding alongside you.

“There’s still one-” you were in the middle of replying before the trooper once again sent missiles from his weapon.

Both missiles hit their targets as your group got launched by the explosion, both speeders destroyed and landing on a strange black colored pool of what seemed like rocks. After landing, you tried to get back up but found it to be slightly difficult as you heard the trooper flying overhead. He was about to make another pass but your group recovered, managing to aim and fire back even on your backs and knees. A few bolts whirred past you which you avoided before the collective blasting of your friends eventually hit the trooper. His jetpack also malfunctioned and sent him into a flurry, ending up with him crashing into a mountainside with a small explosion following. The shockwave made you among the others flinch backwards slightly and that’s when you felt yourself begin to sink.

“What the hell is this?” Poe scurried as he began to sink as well. 

“Sinking fields! Try to grab something!” Rey explained.

There were parts of the speeders scattered around but unfortunately for you, you had already placed your weight on your hands to pull yourself out before Rey explained where you were. Your hands were immobilized as the more you tried to pull them out, the more the rest of your body sank. 

“Poe!” you yelled, true fear striking you as his body was soon to be consumed before your eyes.

“Y/N-” his words were cut short as his head sank underneath.

Things were moving much too quickly and before you even had a chance to focus and use the force, you were also soon taken by the sinking sands. 

“BB-8!” you heard faintly over the muffled effect of the sand as you sank.

Father... sister... I’m sor-

Your final death woes were cut short as you heard cracking underneath you and before you knew it, you had a searing pain in your backside. 

“Ow,” you moaned, opening your eyes to see a small cave before you.

You had landed straight on your behind and before long you saw BB-8’s head pop out from another crack that had formed, his small metallic body slamming against the floor.

Just behind where he landed, you also noticed Poe strewn out across the ground, gaining his bearings as well, “Y/N?”

You got up and rushed to his side, helping him get up and bringing him into a hug immediately, “Maker, I thought I watched you die in front of me.”

You could feel his body sag with a sigh as he held you in return, “Me too, I’m glad you’re safe.”

Separating from each other, the both of you looked around, “Rey! Finn!”

“You didn’t say my name, sirs but I am alright,” C3PO made himself known behind you as he walked forward.

You seemed to be in a small cave system with many cavities carved throughout like small roads. You wondered if it was a natural cave or... something worse.

Crackling from above came from a few feet ahead of you and Poe rushed forward to anticipate another one of your companions falling through. Eventually, they broke through and Rey stumbled down into Poe’s arms, Poe helping her softly to the ground as she gained her bearings.

“You alright?” Poe asked.

“Yeah, where’s Finn?” she asked as well.

“Where’s Chewie?” you asked, standing next to them.

As you spoke, a loud crack came from behind you and Chewie’s large figure dropped down as well.

“That answers that,” you said simply.

“I’m good,” Finn made himself known, walking through one of the cavities carved out into the small clearing where you were congregated.

“Ah. Master Finn,” C3PO greeted him.

“What is this place?” Poe questioned.

“This isn’t the afterlife, is it? Are droids allowed here?” 3PO pondered.

Finn came up and put a hand on Rey and Finn’s shoulders, looking towards you, “I thought we were goners.”

“We might still be,” 3PO commented in the back.

“Which way out?” Finn continued.

Rey took her lightsaber out and ignited it for light, Poe glancing at it from the corner of his eye before he begrudgingly turned on his flashlight, producing much... less light than Rey.

You turned from the group and began to head down one of the passageways, “Let’s go.”

Rey turned first to follow, “We have to hurry.” Rey addressed Finn as she walked, “So what was it?”

“What?”

“What you were gonna tell me,” she responded.

You continued walking and took notice of the strange shape the walls had. They were smooth yet had small continuous ripples throughout. It reminded you of when a rock fell into a pond and the waves emanated outwards. 

“When?” Finn asked.

“When you were sinking in the sand, you said, ‘I never told you...’” Rey tried to spark his memory.

“I’ll tell you later,” you heard him reply.

“You mean when Poe and Y/N’s not here?” Poe sassily approached them.

“Yeah, mhmm,” Finn affirmed.

“We’re gonna die in sand burrows and we’re all keeping secrets?” Poe pressed as he walked past them and towards you.

Deciding the light from behind you wasn’t enough after needing to strain your eyes enough, you ignited your white saber as well for lighting, “Is this really the time?”

“I’ll tell you as soon as you tell us about all that shifty stuff you do,” Finn pressed back.

“Actually, this might be exactly the time,” you admitted, still walking forward but wanting to hear Poe’s response.

The small passageway you were walking through once again opened up into a smaller room with a few other passageways leading in different directions when Poe spoke, “I do not wanna know what made these tunnels.”

His avoidance of explanation twice now began to gnaw at the back of your mind. Why is Poe intentionally keeping things from me? Is there a past he doesn’t want me to know about? Even after I told him everything about mine... 

“Judging by the circumference of the tunnel walls,” 3PO began to explain.

“I said I do not wanna know. Not,” Poe turned back to look at the droid and drive the point forward.

Your group trekked for a short while longer, the order of which led changing with 3PO somehow in the front. Poe was shortly behind him with BB-8 in front of him, his flashlight hitting a corner and illuminating something different than the sand walls. 

“Woah, what is that?” Poe directed toward 3PO, still not close enough to make it out while the golden droid was standing in front of it.

Finn was just behind Poe and after coming a bit closer, “Is that a speeder?”

“An old one,” Rey came up from the back of the group.

“Perhaps we will find the driver,” 3PO pondered.

BB-8 booped and beeped and Poe responded, “Yep, BB-8, I think dead too.”

You really wondered if he didn’t know how to speak droid or not because that was exactly what the small ball had said.

C3PO was inspecting the front of the speeder when he spoke, “Oh my. A hex charm.”

“A what?” Poe turned back from inspecting a tunnel.

“A common emblem of Sith loyalists,” he explained.

You came closer as well to inspect it and your brows came to knit together, “Why is it that I don’t recognize this?”

“Sith,” Rey muttered.

“This was Ochi’s?” Finn surmised.

“Luke sensed it, Ochi never left this place,” Rey walked around the vehicle.

“Why can’t I...” you muttered to yourself. 

Your fingers grazed over the emblem, holding your lightsaber as close as you could to ensure you could capture it in the light. Yet... nothing came to you. How was it that a Sith emblem was lost to you? You feared you weren’t quite as attuned to your dark nature as you once thought you were, and knew it meant nothing but bad news.

“And he ended up down here,” Finn continued off of Rey.

“He was headed for his ship,” Poe began to understand. “Same thing happened to us, happened to him.”

“So how did Ochi get out?” Finn wondered.

You noticed them begin to move down one of the passages and shook off your thoughts, moving to follow them as well.

“He didn’t,” Rey finished, stopping in her tracks.

The rest of you caught up and noticed a skeleton in the room in front of you.

“No he didn’t,” Finn put his hands on his hips.

“Bones, I don’t like bones,” Poe strained.

“Bones? Never a good sign,” C3PO managed to sound as dreaded as possible which didn't help at all.

BB-8 chirped and Rey, taking off her staff, said, “Yeah, I see it.”

She walked forward towards the corner that BB-8 rolled towards and reached for something that BB-8 blew some sand off of. As she removed it, your eyes landed on a unique designed dagger.

As Rey held it, she muttered, “Horrible things... have happened with this.”

You felt out for the dagger and felt the same pain and suffering Rey had, though not as concentrated as she did whilst holding it.

“There’s writing on it,” Poe noticed.

“Perhaps I can translate,” 3PO offered.

The golden droid held it up to his eyes after Rey handed it to him, “Oh! The location of the wayfinder has been inscribed upon this dagger. It’s the clue that Master Luke was looking for.

“And?”

“Where’s the wayfinder?” Poe finished Finn’s question.

“I am afraid I cannot tell you,” 3PO lowered his arm and turned back towards you all.

“What?” you said, two seconds from grabbing the dagger and doing it yourself.

“20.3 fazillion languages, you can’t read that?” Poe accused.

“Oh, I have read it sir. I know exactly where the wayfinder is,” 3PO responded pridefully. “Unfortunately, it is written in the runic language of the Sith.”

“So what?” Rey fired.

“My programming forbids me from translating it,” he bit back.

“So, you’re telling us the one time we need you to talk, you can’t?” Poe looked at the droid with disappointment.

“Irony, sir,” 3PO responded, looking between the group before he walked over to the side.

“Give it here, I’ll do it, maker,” you muttered. 

“I am mechanically incapable of translating from Sith,” the droid appeased.

As he spoke, a small rumbling began to penetrate the ground and a large figure began to rise behind him. 

“I believe the rule was passed by the Senate of the Old Republic,” his explanation continued. Finn and Poe raised their guns while you and Rey raised your sabers in his direction which made him turn and scream as the large creature behind him opened its large mouth and screeched, “Serpent! Serpent! Serpent!” 

He rushed behind your group as you stood your ground and looked upon the large worm-like creature. It had six eyes, two large ones on each side of its face with two smaller ones joining them. It only had about fourteen teeth but they were large and menacing. While it snarled at you a few times, it hadn’t made a move to attack you at all, prompting you and Rey to put down Finn and Poe’s guns. You put a hand on Rey’s shoulder and she looked over to you, receiving a nod. You wanted her to try to connect with the creature, and you knew that she could do it. If it was truly violent, it would have already attacked your group several times over by then. She handed her saber to the side as she made eye contact with the serpent, Finn taking it out of her hands. 

“Rey,” Finn whispered.

The light from their flashlights and your sabers managed to pick up more than just the head of the creature. Its entire body was wrapped around the room in front of you, its long shafted body coiling around. Rey approached it and it snarled but still ultimately did nothing, allowing her to step over its body.

“Y/N,” Poe stressed, aiming his gun at the creature again.

“Don’t,” you whispered.

“Shh,” Finn shushed the group.

Rey was right in the middle of it now, the serpent's body circled around her multiple times with its head right above her and hissing.

“I’m gonna blast it,” Poe stated.

“Don’t blast it,” you and Finn said simultaneously.

Rey lowered herself to the ground and reached a soft and steady hand towards its body. The moment her hand came to touch its skin, it roared which made her stop in her tracks. She didn’t remove her hand however and it still did not attack her.

She closed her eyes and began to focus and that’s when you noticed. The serpent was hurt, scratched in some manner and was bleeding. Focusing her force energy, she managed to actually transfer some of it from her body into the serpent, effectively healing the damage the creature had taken. Poe slowly lowered his gun as he took notice of her actions as well. Before long, the bleeding was completely gone and the wound looked as if it were never there. The serpent blinked slowly and groaned in a contented tone before turning its head and beginning to slide through a separate tunnel. Rey removed her hand as if it were shocked statically and held her wrist while rubbing it slightly. Eventually, its entire body was gone and with it, a passageway crumbling open with light pouring inward. 

BB-8 was the first to roll forward and beeped at Rey, “I just transferred a bit of life. Force energy from me to him. You would have done the same.”

The last part she responded to the droid after he beeped back at her questionably. 

You came up to her while she was still in her kneeled position and helped her up with a hand on her shoulder, “When did you learn to do that?”

“I’m... not sure. I just, felt it,” she tried to explain.

You gave her a slight smile, wondering just how powerful she might be. Force heal was not an easy force technique, and it certainly wasn’t one anyone could do on a whim. Chewie picked up the dagger from where 3PO dropped it and brought it up to you, offering it carefully. You took the knife from his hands and looked over it, seeing the inscriptions along the blade. Though when you tried to read it, you came up blank.

“3PO are you sure this is Sith?” you questioned, turning it over in your hands.

“Of course, Master Y/N! That is the runic language of the Sith,” the robot replied.

“Then why can’t I read it?” you asked aloud, fervently focusing on it yet still not understanding the symbols.

“Wait, I thought you knew Sith?” Poe came up to you, shining his flashlight on the blade as well.

“I knew it better than I knew common, yet,” you sighed, “I can’t seem to understand a single symbol.”

First you weren’t able to recognize the Sith loyalist emblem, and now you had lost your ability to understand Sith. These developments were turning for the worst as you wondered what else you were suddenly incapable of. It didn’t make any sense. You knew Sith because of your former position but even then, you used the language for thousands of years. Even if somehow that power was lost to you, the language would have had to stick anyway right? Your thoughts were brought back to how your wayfinding ability was muddled and your future visions were no longer coming to you. If Snoke wasn’t the one blocking me, perhaps it’s been Palpatine all this time. Who knows what kind of power he has amassed over centuries.

“That’s weird, right?” Finn offered, standing at the now open passageway with light.

You continued to look at the dagger as if you would suddenly begin to recognize the language to no avail when Poe placed a hand on your shoulder, “We need to get out of here, sweetheart. We’ll figure this out later, together.”

You finally ripped your eyes from the blade and handed it back to Chewie who placed it in his bag, “Yeah, let’s go.”

Your group exited the underground to the surface to see Ochi’s ship not far from your position. This time as you walked, you made sure to avoid any and all of the small pools of sinking sands. Luckily they were colored a darker gray so it was easy to discern it from the normal sand. 

As your group got closer and began to scale the rock structure the ship was on, C3PO spoke up, “We cannot possibly fly in that old wreck.”

“We gotta keep moving. Find someone who can translate that dagger, like a helpful droid,” Poe pressed.

“Our ship is most definitely impounded or completely surrounded so this is our only way off this planet,” you added.

Hurt panged through you momentarily at your own incapability to read the language inscribed on the dagger. Your already precarious situation wouldn’t have been much more complicated if you could have just read what was written.

“Yeah they’ll throw us in the Pits of Griq,” Finn threatened.

“Yeah,” Poe chuckled. “And use you as a target droid.”

“You both make, excellent points. At times,” the golden droid admitted.

Finn was helping Poe get a leg up to keep climbing the rock when Rey turned off and walked towards the edge. You noticed it and slowly edged towards her, noticing her focusing on something in the distance.

Finn came up behind you, “What is it?”

Rey turned and handed her staff to Finn, “I’ll be right behind you.” She gave him her bag as well, “It’s ok.”

“Poe,” you called up to him a bit higher, telling him more with your eyes.

He looked back down with his hands on his hips and sighed, “Yeah, we’ll get the ship ready.”

With a nod, you clapped Finn’s shoulder and set back down the rock with Rey. You walked just a step behind her as the two of you began to walk slowly into the open desert. You weren’t quite far from the rock, but had put enough distance to hear the ships engines begin to fire up behind you. You walked with Rey a bit further then she came to a stop. You could feel him by now too, hear the roar of his ship's engine, it was Ren.

“Are you ready? I won’t be helping until I absolutely have to,” you attempted to strengthen her.

She turned to you and nodded once sharply before turning back towards the direction Kylo was flying towards you. You put the force energy into your hands and feet and pushed off as you ran toward the mountainside, launching yourself up sizeable high before sticking your lightsaber into the side of the cliff and hanging. For now, you would overlook their battle. It was entirely possible the nexus event was upon you here and now, but you couldn’t risk it if it wasn’t. Your mission was far greater than the risk of losing this current war, it was missing out on yet another millennium before being able to awaken, not the intention of your father and sister. 

Kylo leveled his TIE fighter at the same height as Rey, flying just along the surface of the sand. She ignited her saber in response and turned around! Facing the other direction, she had her back turned towards him and it seemed to enrage him further. His TIE picked up speed and was now beaming towards her quickly, and just as he was beginning to get closer, she began to run.

She leaped just as Ren’s ship was about to run her through, with a yell, twisting her body and thrusting her saber through one of the wings, severing it from the ship. She landed back on the ground as Kylo’s ship began to wobble, unsteady with only one side pushing forward. The other wing separated and broke off, leaving only the center cockpit to remain as it crashed and scraped against the ground for hundreds of feet. As soon as it came to a crashing halt, the hull suddenly exploded!

“Rey! Rey!” Finn came shouting towards Rey.

You deactivated your blade and fell back down the mountainside, using the force to push with your hands and soften your fall. 

“They got Chewie! They got him!” he yelled just as a First Order transport ship took off behind him.

As you were running towards them, Rey reached out with the force and held the transport in place. Its engines were scrambling to take off yet she held it just the same and attempted to drag it back in. As you arrived finally, the three of you took notice of a Kylo Ren walking towards you from the direction his ship had just exploded in, completely unscathed. He began to reach out with the force as well and pull the ship out of Rey’s control. Deciding enough was enough, you reached your arm up to help Rey when you were struck concussed by a foreign object to your head.

“Y/N!” Finn yelled.

Fear struck through Rey as well, muddling the strength in her pull.

Before you knew it, you were on the ground with a stinging pain in the side of your head. Finn had come up to you and yanked whatever was there out and you could finally pull a breath into your lungs-

“Leaving so soon?” you mused, holding Ahsoka in a headlock in the back of their ship. You turned her back around to face you as you choked her, “Not without this you won’t.”

The drop hatch opened in front of you and Anakin stared in horror as you dropped her through it and dived through yourself, “Ahsoka!”

You metamorphosed into your large bat form and held her by your legs bringing her back to your citadel.

...

“You are alone now,” you walked slowly around a drugged Ahsoka in your small goblin form. “If you are to survive, you must forget your master.”

You pulled her by the hand as she brought her free one up to her head, “I don’t think I-”

Grabbing her further by the arm, you bit her forearm, injecting a dark poison. 

“Y/N! Y/N!” you were suddenly pulled back into reality on Ochi’s ship.

You grunted as a painful pulse went through your head, “What did they do to me?”

The ship was rocking slightly and you could just barely hear over the ringing in your ears the sounds of lasers firing. 

“Y/N! Baby, you better be ok, imma get us out of here,” Poe yelled over his shoulder while piloting the ship.

Finn was in front of you, “They hit you with some kind of electric bullet. I couldn’t tell what it was since we were in a-”

Another lapse of pain hurt so badly it knocked you right out.

Paradise

Supreme Leader, Kylo Ren seeks help from the goddess of power, you. He needs your power to defeat The Resistance for good.

When he finds you, you offer him your help but in return you ask for two things.

Will Kylo accept this?

“Have you lost your mind, Ren!?” Hux yelled loudly following Kylo to his tie-fighter.

“Speak to me like that again and you will be sorry, General Hux. I’ll show you how to respect your Supreme Leader.” Kylo snarled at him. Hux rolled his eyes as Kylo got into his craft.

“A Supreme Leader who needs help from this so-called goddess. They aren’t real, Ren. Gods aren’t real. People are.” Hux told him.

Kylo looked at the ginger man with narrow eyes behind his mask. Hux frowned as he felt his body lift off the floor. The stormtroopers near them jumped as their general flew across the room.

Kylo deeply sighed as he started his craft and flew out to space.

As a child before he was sent away to his uncle, he remembered how the people from Aldreen would pray for Y/n, Goddess of Power. Different cities around the galaxy would bring offerings. Fruits, flowers, gold and silver would be bought just for the thirty foot statue of their goddess. He would hear the prayers and chanting coming from the people. He remembered his mother bowing down in the front of the statue. He did the same. His mother would tell him Y/n, is a strong and powerful woman.

“Legends says that she lives on the grey planet called Paradise.”

He chuckles to himself at the name. The planet was nothing like a Paradise. Kylo wasn’t dumb enough to go first without checking it out. He sent a few of his stormtroopers to check out the planet. Long story short, they all died. They didn’t even make it to the mountain that held the cave that you supposedly lived in. People had failed and died trying to land on this planet. He knew he could do it, though. He had to find out if you, the goddess of power actually exists.

After Rey rejected his hand, he was furious. If she didn’t want him and to rule by his side that was fine. He would just simply kill them all. The rejection of the scavenger was the final straw for Kylo and he welcomed the dark side completely. He didn’t need her. No matter how strong she was with force, he knew he would kill her. He just needed a little help from you. He knew for sure that he would finish the Resistance once and for all with the help of the goddess, Y/n. You were his only hope. The First Order was running out of time to defeat the Resistance.

He noticed quickly when he entered the atmosphere of Paradise. It was freezing, as much as he tried to stop his teeth from chattering it was no use. The skies were dark and grey. Mountains stood proud and tall everywhere, trees were scattered. His eyes turned hard as he saw how the weather was on the planet. Rain started to pour down like crazy. He was losing control of his craft. He couldn’t see at all due to the rain, his craft was rumbling against the harsh winds. He didn’t know why his craft was breaking down. There was no explanation. His craft can take hits from bombs and bullets but it was going down just by rain and winds.  

For a second Kylo thought he saw a glowing light ahead. As if it was by fate the weather stopped for a second and he was able to see a yellow light across from him. It was coming from a mountain, the tallest one of them all. He felt a shift in the force immediately when he saw it. A strong power was calling out for him. Kylo let out a moan as he felt the power rush through his body. Warmth melted into his freezing body. It had to be you, he thought to himself. He felt the light drawing him in.  He knew he had to go for it. If he were to crash, then he would climb up the mountain. Nothing was going to stop him from seeing you.

He took a deep breath and flew across towards the mountain. When he finally landed he stared at the opening of the cave ahead. The light was still glowing bright. The force he possessed was crying out for him to go inside. He got out of his craft and looked around his surroundings. There was no wind and no rain near him. He took his helmet off for a better look.  He turned around and saw the weather was still harsh but it made no noise at all.

‘A barrier.’ He thought to himself as he looked back to the cave.

He walked towards the entrance of the cave. His lightsaber roared to life as he turned it on. He walked inside slowly. He looked around as he entered the cave. His eyes widened at the sight of the cave inside, it was filled with millions of lit candles. He checked behind when he felt a presence but there was no one there. He sighed as he walked forward in.

“The mighty supreme leader is here.” He looked ahead when he heard a soft voice speak.

“Don’t be afraid.” He looked around but no one was around.

“I’m not afraid.” He said with a frown. He was met with a sweet laughter.

“What’s your name?”

“Kylo. Kylo Ren.”

“Come to me.” He heard.

He held his breath as he saw a light appear before him showing him another entrance. He slowly walked toward the new doorway. He was greeted with the light scent of flowers and oil.

There he realized he was in your temple. The legends were true. The lights of the candles around him glowed but the fire pit in the middle of the room brightened the room completely. He stopped when he saw a pool ahead of him. Tiny flowers floated on the water. He saw a bed near the pool. Pillows and blankets of silks surround the enormous bed. His eyes widened at the sight of  a figure standing in front of the pool.

He saw you turn around and face him. Your eyes stared at him. He didn’t even realize you had your hand out. His lightsaber quickly flew out of his grasp to your hands.

“Ahhh.” He heard you say humming with excitement as you looked at his weapon.

He stood still as you turned around and walked away from him. He was frozen but not by any force but by your beauty. He had to admit to the stars itself that he had never seen anyone with such beauty before. He was about to yell at you for taking his weapon but he saw your body under the white transparent dress you wore. He felt his cheeks turn red as he saw your bare ass. He looked away.

“Are you coming, Kylo?” He heard you questioned. He looked up and saw you on the steps near the bed. You gave him a small smile before turning off the lightsaber. At that moment he thought to himself that you looked even more beautiful holding his weapon.

His heavy footsteps echoed throughout the room. He looked down at the pool and saw his reflection. The water looked so refreshing. He looked up and saw you were sitting on the bed. He clenched his jaw as his eyes landed on the view of your bare breasts. He looked up at your face and saw you smirking at him. You had caught him red handed.

He looked down at you as he stood in front of you. He was about to bend down to show respect but you shook your head.

“Sit.” You told him patting on the empty spot near you on the bed. He knew he shouldn’t. Perhaps it was a test that you were giving him to make sure that he was worthy to be in your presence. He had to show you respect.

“I said sit.” You commanded with a stern voice causing him to step backward. Shocked at your loud voice that echoed throughout the room.

He obeys you. He mentally groans in comfort as he feels the softness of the bed. He sees you up close. He couldn’t believe it.  A goddess was this close to him. He studied your face as closely as he could.

‘Beautiful. Made from the stars of the galaxy.’

“Is that you think?” You asked him. He gave you a face as he felt his blood run cold. ‘You can read my thoughts?’

“Yes, I can read your mind. Just like you read the minds of others.” Kylo nodded to you.

“I like your weapon. A weapon of someone who has the force but I sense pain in it.” You told him as you looked at the hilt closer.

“Are you mute now?” You told him slightly annoyed because all he did was stare at you.

“I apologize, my goddess. I just.. I can't believe you are real.” Kylo told you, making you grin softly as you place his weapon on the altar beside your bed.

“I am real.” You told him then placed a hand on his arm. Kylo tensed under your touch. He relaxed quickly when he felt your warmth seeping through his clothes to his bare skin.

“You seek help.” You told him softly as you lowered your hand to his wrist.

“ Intelligent, fearless, a true leader. You want to destroy The Resistance. You want me to provide you my power.” You said as your fingers touched his gloves hands.

“Will you help me?” Kylo asked looking down at you.

You leaned forward close to his face. Kylo felt his stomach start to flip as you go close to his face.

“Maybe. If you tell me something.” You said looking up to his eyes.

“Which is?” He asked as you got closer. He was face to face to you. He can see every aspect of your face. He didn’t know why you looked up at him like he was the most interesting thing in the galaxy.

“Who gave you this?” You asked him as you touched the scar on his face. Kylo flinched at your touch. He looked down as he felt the tips of your fingers gently tracing his scar on his face.

“My enemy.” Kylo responded. He noticed how his mouth got dry as he felt your touch. You bit your bottom lip as you started to touch his cheek slowly making your way to his hair. You pushed his hair behind his ear and slowly made your way to his other cheek. Making him look down at you. You looked deep into his light brown eyes.

You grew angry as you saw the girl who did this to him. She hurt him.

“A girl.” You said causing him to look away once more. He was ashamed and at that moment you can hear a voice screaming inside of his head.

“ You were unbalanced, bested by a girl who had never held a lightsaber! YOU FAILED! ”

“He’s wrong.” You told him as you turned his face to face you again.

“He failed you. He didn’t train you properly. With my help you will kill her and end The Resistance. I shall help you but I want two things in return.” Kylo’s eyes widen at this new information.

“Anything.” Kylo said.

“Bring me the head of the girl who did this to you.” You told him. When Kylo didn’t speak you brought down your hand from his face and stood up. He was about to do the same when you push his shoulders back down. You stood in front of him, between his thick legs.

“Did you hear me?”

“Give me her head.” You told him again as you slowly began to sit on his right leg. Kylo gasps at you as you rested on him.

“Yes.” He said as he gripped the silk sheets. He knew he shouldn’t be touching you. It was disrespectful. How can his dirty hands touch your pure clean skin.

“Good.” You told him as you looked over at him. You can see him trying to calm himself down. You can hear the leather gloves squeaking as he gripped the sheets with all his might. You can hear his heart beating out of his chest. You looked at him. He was truly a sight to be seen. His roman nose stood out, his lips were plushed and pink. His brown eyes glowed like amber. His beauty marks were like constellations.

“It’s been centuries since I sat on a mortal lap.” You told him. When he didn’t say anything you asked him.

“Do you not want to touch me?”

Kylo looked at you and replied. “I’m not worthy.”

“Isn’t that for me to decide whether or not you are worthy?” You asked.

Before he can say anything you command him to take off his gloves. He did what you said. You grabbed his large hands into yours. Kylo moans quietly as he feels your hands. You were so soft. You felt like silk. You brought his hand to your thigh. He felt the fabric of your dress. He slowly gripped the fabric in his grasp. The other hand was brought to your bare back.

“The other thing I want is..” You said but drifted off when he started to rub your back up and down slowly. His warm and calloused hands felt good against your skin.

“Anything you want.” Kylo said, urging you to continue. When you didn’t speak Kylo held you tighter causing you to lean fully against his chest. Your hand landed on his chest. He smelled like leather and ember.

“Pleasure me.” You told him softly. He stared down at you as you asked this.

“I..I can’t.” Kylo told you, causing you to frown.

“You can’t.” You said standing up. He missed your presence as soon you got up.

“I never. I have never been with a woman before.” You stared down at him when he spoke.

“Don’t you lie to me.” You told him and he shook his head.

“I’m not. See for yourself.” Kylo said standing up walking closer to you. You looked at him still not sure. The man in front of you was handsome, a warrior, a supreme leader. A beautiful man who’s never been touched before, you didn’t believe it. You looked down and saw he held his hand out to you.

“Believe me.” He said.

You took his hand and there you saw he was telling the truth. A young boy sent off to his uncle to train as a Jedi. A boy who wanted to be just like his grandfather. You saw Kylo as a young adult training with a new master, Snoke.

Snoke wasn’t an easy master. You saw how Snoke pushed him. You saw how he would belittle and abuse kylo.

“ Woman. Wanting a woman’s touch is a sign of weakness.” Snoke yelled at him.

You pulled away. Never have you met a virgin before. To be honest this was the first mortal you ever let enter in your temple before. You helped people before but never allowed someone inside. You always created the horrific weather outside when you felt the presence of other people but when you felt Kylo’s arrival, you were intrigued by the power he held and by him. It called out to you.  When you allowed him to enter, you saw him as soon as he got out of his craft. How he walked and how he presented himself made you like him even more.

“I see.” You said walking away from him. Kylo frowned as he saw you walk down the steps from your bed. He was about to speak.

“Wait..” You raised your hand, Kylo quiet down.

“I’ll help you.” You told him.

“But..”

“It’s ok.” You said. He followed you and stood next to you.

“Is something wrong with me?” He asked quietly. The scavenger didn’t want him and now you, a goddess didn’t want him either.  

You sensed embarrassment and loneliness from him. You shook your head at his question.

“I’ll bring you the head of the girl and it will bring me great honor to lay with you. I just fear that I might not be good enough. I have slaughtered many men and women in my lifetime. I know how to fight and use the force but I have never touched a woman before.” Kylo said kneeling down slowly on both knees. He looked down at your bare feet. You walked in front of him, slowly you grabbed his chin and made him look up at you.

His eyes slightly looked down when he saw your mound under the transparent white dress you wore near his face.

“Are you sure?” You questioned him.

“A virginity is something sacred.” You said looking into his brown eyes.

He felt the force show him what you were feeling. You felt unsure of this situation. Why, he wondered though.

“Do you know how I received my powers?” You asked as you caress his unmarked cheek. Kylo frowned as he tried to remember the stories his family would tell him before going to bed but he couldn’t remember. All he could think was your hand on his face and how close your pussy was to his face.

“A dark lord sacrificed me to the gods for absolute power.” Kylo immediately looked up at you clenched his fists at this.

“He needed a girl who was beautiful, and kind. What he didn’t know was she had to be virgin as well. He took my innocence before he sacrificed me.” You told him as you pushed a strand of his dark locks over his ear.

“And after that the gods punished him for doing this to me. They noticed me and they rewarded me for my pain that the dark lord had caused. They gave me absolute power but don't get me wrong, Kylo. I’m grateful for my power, my new life, for the people who worship me but once in a while I...”

“I sometimes wonder what would have been if it never happened.” You stare at Kylo for a moment. You admired his beauty under the candle lights. He looked so fascinated listening to your story.

“I would have given it to someone who I cared for. A love, an admirer or to my husband, perhaps.”

Kylo bit his tongue at your story. He couldn’t help but feel angry at the situation you were in. He could feel the anger rushing through his body at the thought of someone hurting you. Killing you. How can someone hurt you, he thought to himself.

“Do you see what I’m trying to get at?” You asked him. He knew what you were trying to say. His virginity was something that you cared for. You wanted him to keep him until the right time came.

“I do but...” Kylo said as you dropped your hand from his face.

“I’m not married. I’m not in a relationship. I have never been in love before. I don’t even know what it feels like.  I really haven’t ever thought about my virginity like that before, my sweet goddess.” Kylo said.

“I want to give this to you as a token of my gratitude. My goddess, Y/n let me give you this. You didn’t have to accept my help but you did. So let me do this for you. Let me give you pleasure.”

You looked deep into his eyes for any lie but you didn’t find any. He kneel before you and have given you his virginity. He is giving you his untouched, pure body.

“Kylo, are you sure?” You asked slowly.

“Yes.” He answered your as he laid his hands on his leg looking up at you.

“Remove my dress.” You told him.

Kylo quickly used the force to remove the golden pin on your shoulder holding your dress together. Still on his knees, you stood naked in front of him. He was mesmerized by your bare skin. His fingers ached to touch you. He wanted to touch you everywhere. He didn’t even notice when you got closer to him until his nose was practically touching your mound. He bit his moan back as he smelt your musk. You smell so good. He could feel his cock harden.

He felt your hands on his shoulder unclipping the cape. He wonder why you used the force as well to undress

“I want to touch you.” You answered him, dropping the cape beside you. Kylo keeps looking up at you.

“Open your mouth.” You told him. He parted his lips in front of you.

You smiled as he obeyed you. You brought your hands to your breasts, you let out a moan as you played with them. You squeeze your nipple with one hand while you drop your other hand down between your legs. With his mouth still open he stared at you as you fingered yourself.

His eyes widened as you let out another moan. You took your hand out and he saw your wet fingers. Your juices were glistening under the candle lights.

You offer him your wet fingers. He greedily took your fingers in your mouth. Sucking your juices off slowly. He moaned at the taste of sweet tart from your fingers. You pulled your fingers out of his mouth. He licked his lips as he looked up at you again.

“Good?” You asked.

“Heavenly.” He answered you.

You ran your fingers through his dark locks. Like a cat he purrs against your hand as you continue to run your fingers through his hair.

You slowly kneel in front of him. Coming face to face to him. You started to unzip his jacket, taking it off you helped him take off the sweater he wore under. Your eyes widen at the many bruises and scars he had on his broad shoulders and chest. You noticed he looked away as you stared at his scars. He tensed as you touched his chest.

“Kiss me.” You told him. You felt his hands on your hips pulling you closer to him. He looked at you, he was nervous.

He bend down to reach your lips. His lips pressed against yours. He felt it. He wondered if you felt it too. The power. The warmth both of you have caused. You pulled away first because you felt it too. He looked deep into your eyes almost looking for permission to kiss you again. You nodded at him and instantly he was already against your lips. Pressing chase kisses against yours lips. You grabbed his face with both hands causing him to stop for a second. You kissed softly and slowly, Kylo’s heart pounded against his chest as he felt your tongue in his mouth. You moaned in his mouth as his hands found their way to your ass giving you a squeeze.

You pulled and gasped at the sudden confidence he had. What you saw shocked you, his brown eyes were turning into a bright golden color. His lips were red from the kissing, his cheeks were flushed. Your hands unbutton his pants as you kissed him again.

You smiled to yourself when you saw he was commando. His cock was so warm and heavy. You used both hands to softly jerk him off. He pulled away from your lips and let out a moan as your thumb rubbed the slit on the head of his cock with his precum.

“Feels good?” You whispered as he shut his eyes and moaned once more.

“Mmmm” he nodded to you. He gasped harshly as you cupped his balls with one hand.

“Feels good.” He moaned out to you.

“I know it does. Enjoy it.” You told him kissing him softly.  

“Can I taste you again?” He asked you as you jerk him off in one hand.

You nodded, giving him a chaste kiss and “take off your pants and follow me.”

He did what he was told and followed you up to the bed. He stopped for a second when he saw you lay down on your back. You spread your legs in front of him. His eyes were now a shade of pure golden, he stared down at your body. You looked so fucking good, he thought to himself. He saw you rub your clit with one hand slowly. He bends down and grabs your right leg. His whole hand wrapped around your ankle, you squeal when he dragged you by your ankle to the edge of the bed. He brings your leg straight up to his mouth. You felt him place wet kisses on your ankle down to your inner leg.

He kneels on the side of the bed. He looks up at you. Giving you a look on what he should do next.

“Kiss it. Lick it. Play with this.” You told him, spreading your lips open with your fingers showing him your throbbing clit.

He gives you a little nod and licks his lips. You moan aloud li as you felt his large thumb rub softly on your clit. His eyes widen at your reaction.

He leans forward and licks your wet slit. You threw your head backwards as you felt his tongue licking your clit. He moans as his tongue hits your tight hole. Licking up your juices, his face is pressed against your pussy. His nose rubbed against your clit as he fucked you with his tongue. His nails dig into your thighs as he held you close to him. Your juices, your musk was intoxicating for him. He couldn’t stop.

“Oh my.” You groan as he ate you like it was his last meal.

“Kylo.” You cried out grabbing his hand. He gasped for air as he looked up at you. His face was glistening with your juices. You saw him lick his lips as he greedily breathed in and out.

“Come up.” You said holding your legs open. He climbs up between your legs. You wince as he spread your legs wider making room for his wide frame. You felt your pussy pulses as his hard cock rubbed against your pussy. He moaned as the tip of cock glided across your slit.

He looks down at you as he places his hands on either side of your head. You gasped softly when you saw his golden eyes had a red ring around them. He looked even more dangerous and powerful like this.  

“Feels so good. I feel your power.” He told you bending his head down to kiss your lips again.

“I need you inside of me.” You whispered against his lips.

You grabbed his cock with one hand. He moans as you moved his cock up and down your slit. You gasp as he pushes his hips forward, his head pushing against your tight gushing hole. He’s too big. You felt the head of cock pushing in but he was too big.

“Please.” He begs as he pushes his hips again hard. You grab his shoulders with both hands as he splits you wide open.

“Fuck.” He cries out as he pushes deeper inside of you. You were so tight around him. He could feel the wall of your pussy clenching around his thick cock. He looked down and saw only half of his cock was inside of you.

Your pussy was gushing around his cock, your pussy lips were spread open. He drops his mouth as he pushes deeper in you. You cry out, he fills you to the hilt. His happy trail tickled your clit as he moved his hips around.

“My goddess, Y/n. Please. Please.” He begged you so he can move. You pull him down by his neck giving him a kiss. You moaned as Kylo deepened the kiss with his tongue. You clench around him as you taste yourself on his tongue.

“Go slow first.” You told him softly after you pulled from the kiss. Kylo nodded and lowered himself to get closer to you. His arms caged your head. He hid his face against your neck. He planted small kisses against your neck as he started thrust in and out of you slowly.

“You feel so good.” He cries out your legs wrapped around his hips as he goes deeper in. He could feel your pussy welcoming his cock fully. You took all of him in so well.

“I want to stay inside of you all day.” He continued.

“Make you feel good. Worship you.” He said moaning as he gave you one hard thrust, you cried out as you felt the head of cock bang into your cervix.

“This pussy is so good. You are so good to me, my goddess. You are so good to me for giving me this power.”

You wrapped your arms around him. Tugging onto his hair as he harshly thrusted into you. He leaned deep into you until his balls hit your ass.

“Faster,  Kylo, please. Faster, my supreme leader.” You moan as your pussy grows wetter at this position.

He lets a growl at your command. He loved how you begged. He loved how you called him your supreme leader. He loved you saying his name even more.

You cry out as he fucked you roughly. You shut your eyes as he fucked you quickly. You felt his anger in every thrust. You felt how powerful he felt when he killed his master. You could feel everything. You laid there taking everything he gave you. His hot breath was against your neck. He chanted your name as he fucked you. With all the power you felt he had in. You felt something else. You felt his love. His love that he never showed to anyone. You could feel the desperation of wanting to be loved and wanted. So you gave him that.

He couldn’t stop. You felt too fucking good. He raised his head to see you. He felt his cock jump inside of you at the sight of you. Your eyes were golden as well. Your skin was glowing under him as well as your hair. You raised your hips meeting his thrusts. He groan as he felt you fucking yourself against his cock. The sound of skin slapping against each other was such a sweet sound to him.

“You look so beautiful.” He said, causing you to moan as he fucked you. Your pussy clenched around his cock at his words.

“You are more beautiful.” You whispered to him. Golden eyes staring at one another. He gave you a small smile.

“A goddess who is blind. I can’t believe it.” He joked softly causing you to pull him into a kiss.

“Let me give you my power.” You said out of breath as you pulled away from his lips.

“Give it to me. Please.” He begs.

He gasped as he felt you roll yourself quickly. It took a second for him to realize that he was on back. You were on top of him, his cock still deep inside of you. You threw your head backwards as you moved your hips. He stared at you with hooded eyes. You looked so good. He could see the sweat dripping down between the valley of your breasts. Your lips were parted as you let out a loud moan. He loved the feeling of your weight on him. You rode his cock as you slammed both hands on his chest. His hands gripped your hips tightly as he started to meet your thrust upwards.

“Take it. Take it.” You told him as you looked down at him. He groaned as he felt your pussy spam around him. His toes curled as his legs shook.

“I’m going to cum. I’m going to cum.” You cry out.

He let out a moan as he felt you cum on his cock. You cumming caused his own orgasm to start. He lifted his hips up making you moan. He threw his head back on the bed as he came deep inside of you. His nostrils flared as he groaned loudly. He felt it. Absolute fucking power. You gave him more power. He looked up at the ceiling of the room. He gasped for air as he felt you shift on him. His hands clenched harder on your hips causing you to wince. He looked at you softly and saw you sitting on with your eyes closed.

You opened your eyes and let out a laugh as you saw him.

“Your eyes.” You told him as you moved your hips forward and backwards enjoying the feeling of being filled. He bit back a moan as he felt both of your cum sliding down to his balls.

“My eyes?” He questions as he brings a hand to your stomach up to the breasts. You grabbed his hand and traced your lips with his fingers. You let your tongue slide out to suck his middle finger. You sucked on his fingers as you moved your hip softly. You looked down at him and saw his eyes were a bright glowing red.

‘Red. Power.’ He heard you say in his mind. He couldn’t help but give you a wide smile.

Kylo moaned as he felt you bite his fingers softly. He felt his cock jump deep inside you. He groaned when you dropped his hands to the side  and leaned forward. He wrapped his arms around you as you laid yourself on him. His cock still in you, you whispered to him.

“Rest. Even the most powerful man still needs to rest.”

Kylo felt his eyes drop slowly with every word. He saw you sit up and slowly got up from him. Both of you wince at the sudden absence of each other. His dick softens at the cool air in the room. The sound of the fire cracking was easing him to sleep.

“Rest with me.” You heard him say in a sleepy tone.

Kylo drifted to sleep as soon as he felt you lay next to him. Your head rested on his chest as he slept.

A week later Kylo found himself walking back to your temple. He was greeted with the warmth feeling again. His lips ached for you. For your embrace, for your presence.

When Kylo woke up the next day after that night, he saw you sleeping next him. You looked so peaceful, absolutely breathtaking. Your skin was practically glowing under the lights. His mouth watered at the sight of your bare breasts. Before he knew what he was doing, he had his mouth on your chest. He moaned as he sucked on your nipple. You woke up that day with Kylo between your legs. Both of you didn’t realize that it’s been a week since he came to see you. He stood for a week with you in the temple. You showed him around your temple.

You took him to the pool near your bed. You enjoyed the stories he told you about when he was younger and he enjoyed the stories you told when you were a moral. Both of you made love for an entire week. When the time came for him to return back to the First Order. Either spoke of the feeling of loneliness that both of you felt when parting ways. You felt it more especially when he left you after saying.

“I’ll miss you.” He whispered to you.

“You returned.” He heard you speak as he walked inside of the temple.

He froze when he saw you swimming in the pool in your room. You noticed him staring at you and smiled gently. You slowly walked up the steps out of the pool. He saw your wet naked body coming towards him. His eyes roam at the love marks he left on your body. He even had marks of your own on his body. He would touch those marks at night when he was alone. He would jerk himself off with one hand while the other hand held the golden pin that he took off from your dress that night. As you stood in front of him, the water on your body had dried off.

He kneels in front of you and bows.

“My goddess. I came to thank you. I did it. The power I needed to finally kill them worked.” You looked down at him and nodded.

“I’m glad, supreme leader.” You told him as he looked up. You didn’t realize he had a black bag attached to his belt until he took it out. You saw him open the bag before you.

Your eyes widen with excitement as he pulls the severed head of the girl who hurt him out of the bag. Rey.

“What you asked for. Her head.” Kylo said. You stared at the dead girl's head for a moment. He held her up from one of her buns.

You leaned forward and grabbed the head from his grasp.

“How did you feel when you killed her?” You asked looking at him then at the head.

“Powerful.” Kylo said. He could still hear Rey’s cries and plead for mercy. All Kylo did was stare down at her with his red eyes.

“Good.” You told him as you walked away to place the head on the altar near your bed.

You noticed he had stood up. You looked over your shoulder and saw him walking towards you. You heard him take his leather gloves off before dropping them on the bed. You felt him standing behind you. His hands made their way to your naked body.

“I have a suggestion, my goddess.” Kylo whispers to you as his hands grabbed your breasts from behind.

You close your eyes as you lean against him enjoying his hands on you.

“What’s your suggestion, my supreme leader.” You moan out as he cupped your pussy with one hand. You bit your lip as he rubbed your clit slowly.

“Come back with me to the Finalizer. Even the most powerful goddess needs her rest.” He said leaning down to rub his nose against your hair.

“We can create our own little paradise.” Kylo said.

[short-wooloo]

I figured out a way Mara Jade (and a Jade-Skywalker baby) can be incorporated into SW canon

Wanna hear it?

Baby

So I figure that Mara could be another early Jedi student of Luke, still an ex-imperial, but not Palpatine's personal assassin, just an imperial intelligence agent, or alternatively she is a part of a cadre of Force sensitive spies/agents, the results of the Inquisitors mass kidnapping of Force sensitive children, but anyways...

Mara and Luke met not long after the war's end, and although Mara has talent, she ultimately chose not to join up and be a Jedi as a lifestyle, but Mara still helps the Luke out, finding artifacts, documents, potential recruits, etc, and two remained close, having a casual on/off relationship, which leads me to...

Mara ultimately conceived a child with Luke, the baby being born in 26.5 ABY (same time as Ben Skywalker in legends), the kid is a girl and her name is Nellith (the name is a reference to what was going to be the name of Luke's sister before Lucas opted to combine the character with Leia) now Mara chose not to tell Luke about this, as she knew how important rebuilding the Jedi was and didn't want to distract Luke, and maybe she got some bad vibes from Ben Solo and didn't want Nellith around him, but Mara did intend to bring Nellie to the Jedi and meet Luke eventually when everyone was ready

And then disaster (28 ABY)

Luke is missing, his temple is destroyed, his students gone, and there's some dark side warlord of an Imperial Remnant faction leaving no stone unturned looking for Luke

So Mara and Nellith go to ground, they effectively disappear, keeping a low profile and out of sight of the First Order/Kylo Ren, especially once the new war begins, of course, Mara can't completely disappear, her conscious won't allow it, so she acts as an informant for the Resistance, even keeping direct contact with Leia

and although Mara never tells Leia about Nellith and who her father is, Leia figures things out on her own, but says nothing out of respect for Mara's privacy and wishes

And after ROS, Mara decides its time, and brings Nellith to Rey and Finn, intending to help them rebuild the Jedi, finish her own training, and let Nellith follow the path of her father

[heirtotheempire]

OK I want to talk about the Sequels because dangit it makes me so mad how much potential some of these characters had. Pushing any of them to more extreme ends of their respective roles would have fixed so many issues with their characters.

Finn doesn't defect as quickly- perhaps he gets trapped in Poe's ship when Poe is trying to make an escape, or he gets captured by the Resistance to get information out of. Either way, the years of propaganda have him firmly set in his ways and it takes the course of the whole trilogy to unlearn everything and see the horrors of the First Order. He experiences guilt over what he's done, but learns to focus on what he can do to change the future rather than getting stuck in the past.

Poe could have been much more like Saw Gerrera. Perhaps his home planet was raided by the First Order and the Resistance couldn't help them, but he joins them anyway due to sharing the same goals. But he undermines the authority figures by doing his own thing, using their resources to make more extremist plans. He's the one who tries to use Finn for information, hating him for being a stormtrooper and treating him less-then-ideal. But as the story progresses, he learns to trust Finn and starts viewing things in a more nuanced manner (seeing troopers as people. Bad people, but still people, many of which joined the military to feed their family).

Rose, after witnessing the death of her sister, becomes almost suicidal in her actions. She wants to do more and more drastic things to screw with the First Order, but often at the expense of her own safety. She doesn't have much to live for in her eyes anyway, so she doesn't care. But she finds purpose in directly helping others instead, wanting to prevent more unnecessary deaths like her sister's and using her hatred and grief for good.

Hux.... Well, he already is at an extreme. He's loud and angry and self centered. I think it works, but definitely more build up to him being a spy, and far more emphasis on the selfishness of his motives.

Kylo Ren honestly needs a whole separate post to work out how I'd fix him. I'm too tired to write all that out😅

And finally, Rey, who I saved for last because I have the most thoughts about her.

Rey was her best as a nobody. Someone disconnected from Palpatine. A scavenger on a distant planet no one cared about. So we lean more into that! What if she was far more self centered when we first meet her. She grew up on the idea that everyone is out to get her, that if she trusts others then they will just use her, and that above all else, she has to focus on herself and herself ONLY. She hardly speaks Basic, knows a few words but can't hold a conversation, which causes issues when she first meets Finn and Poe. She doesn't give up on trying to sell BB-8, because she wants to be able to eat. She knows next to nothing about the politics of the First Order, just that they are too nosy and she just wants them to leave her alone. And she knows NOTHING about the Jedi.

So Rey sneaks on board of a Resistance ship, likely when trying to kidnap BB-8. She meets the Resistance as formally as she can. She gets taught Basic, and we see her skills improve as time progresses. As she gains access to a consistent source of food, she begins to trust people and learns about why the First Order is bad. It takes time for her to outgrow the self-centered attitude she's had for so long, but she opens herself up- and in turn allows herself to feel the Force. In order for her to actually be connected with the Force (which is also representative of a connection to other life), she has to be open to trusting and caring for others. Her arc is becoming selfless and brave, which helps her become stronger in the Force despite her background.

The more I think about it, the worse Disney Wars world-building gets.

I loved TFA when it initially came out, so much that I saw it 3x because of what it promised, but looking back it’s just an unsteady mess. The fact that the movies following it don’t explain anything definitely doesn’t help, but we literally get nothing about how the First Order came to power or their relation to the New Republic beyond Starkiller Base blowing up its main planets.

How the hell were they able to make a bigger Death Star while the republic existed? Who was funding the First Order this whole time? Who started it? Why did the FO use stormtroopers like the Empire? If they had to rely on stealing kids instead of clones or conscripting troops then how does ranking work? Was Hux stolen as a child but managed to be put into a position of power at a relatively young age regardless? By who if so? Snoke? How???

Why did Leia have to become a general at the head of this resistance? Was she a chancellor-figure beforehand and then she stepped down to fight when no one else would? Why? She could do more as a figurehead with actual power in front of the galaxy instead of doing grunt-work in comparison, so what was her being on the frontlines supposed to accomplish?

How can the Jedi become a myth in 30 years or less? When did Luke start Jedi training? It was speculated that Luke took kids to train (cringe) but they were all murdered by the Knights of Ren and Kylo when Kylo was 15? Or older? Why would it take so long for Luke to start training new Jedi? I know it would probably take years after ROTJ but not that many years? Why would that be enough to make Luke retreat to an island on an isolated planet?

Did Luke know that Han and Leia separated? It seems like everything went to hell once Kylo destroyed the budding Jedi and that’s what made Han and Leia split, but then Luke also fucked off completely at the same time??? Did Lando know? Did any of these friends keep in touch with one another?? Why did Chewie never go home to Kashyyyk once the empire was destroyed???

Why is Jakku a place for imperial junk?? Why would Rey have a doll with an Orange flight suit like Luke’s in the OT? How did she learn to fly when she’s never been off-planet or left her dwelling for like 15 years?? How could Poe be thrown from a crash site and survive? Why was R2 asleep this whole time?? Did Kylo and Finn have any relationship whatsoever??? How did Finn and Rey know what Jedi were when their childhoods were so isolated?? WHY DID THREEPIO HAVE A RED ARM AND WHY DID IT MATTER??????

[onewomancitadel]

Reylo confession time (permission to skin me alive) but don't keep reading if you love TLJ: I actually find TLJ not an overall particularly... great? amazing? completely watchable film?, and whilst I think its guiding ethos was actually pretty sound (death which brings new life) and its online reaction overblown - to my own personal tastes, I don't like a lot of it. I enjoy when the Force and Resistance plotlines intersect but I find the latter extremely tedious. (I enjoy Rose, and Paige's last stand at the beginning of the film). I get that it goes back to the OT and its original dogfighting, war film influences, but I really do not overall enjoy the plot of 'rebelling against the evil empire' blah blah, and it's particularly bad in the ST since TLJ is saddled with rehashing the exact same conflict as the OT which the first Sequel Trilogy film sets up and forces us to sit through.

There's a foundational issue with it as a consequence of TFA and I don't buy into it and I find it very hard to care about because Bowser will come back in the Sequel Sequel Trilogy, presumably, and it's less mythic more than it is like, the same shit all over again.

I think there's also the issue in that Kylo Ren can't replicate the connective tissue between the Force and Resistance plotlines the way Darth Vader does, because he's not in the same position of authority (Hux wields a lot of that) and because he's so obviously the Prodigial Son/Cursed Prince. The only bit that really works for me is the scene with Luke at the end, and that's really where I think the two plotlines work together for something actually greater than its parts.

In this sense, Kylo Ren having less authority and more evident narrative sympathy from Day 1 with Driver's performance makes the story overall suffer (in terms of a retread of the OT), because it's trying to retread the OT and moving around parts which can't be moved around. This isn't a TLJ problem per se, this is a ST problem, and I think that's why TLJ takes such a specific and personal focus on Kylo Ren with the Force Bond storyline. It adds something new, it justifies why the ST exists, because it's not just Vader redone - and one can dispute the Anidala redemption of the relationship all one likes, but I think that Reylo is justified on the grounds that it's new and it works with the role Kylo Ren has been given (and Rey, as the outsider).

But that's why I don't find it interesting once Rey turns to the Resistance plotline at the very end because I don't have very much emotional investment in it, and I get it - it's often justified on the grounds that well, now she has a taste of true emotional awakening, the Resistance and Force stories can properly cohere in the third film (which never happened) - but all of this is feeding into each other in that where the ST has a unique identity, it's weakened by the saddle of the OT retreading. Which is ironic, because the online furore was so soundly grounded in it not being the latter enough, and where it does retread it, who actually remembers what the OT was about anyway? Lol. Fundamental aspects of the OT identity are discarded where personal power fantasy has been inserted.

It makes me feel a bit weird because I know Reylos generally love TLJ and I kept this to myself for a long time, and no, I don't think criticisms of TLJ generally come from the same place as me. What I'm basically saying is that the Reylo plotline works so well for what the ST uniquely is, and what it uniquely has to say - and I enjoy the Rey-Luke dynamic as well, especially because I love realistic characterisation, do none of you remember Luke with Yoda lol, why does everybody want Rey to be universally perfect and loved by everybody ever it's so weird - and the film is just really dragged down with baggage and the Resistance plotline. I wish that it were interwoven better, and part of that is clearly production changes (Poe was meant to die in the first film) and part of that is the most interesting parts being left for the third film which were never reprised (Stormtrooper rebellion with Finn), and I also recognise that this comes down to personal taste. I'm much more interested in the heart of SW than I am in the overall aesthetics, and this is why EU material doesn't interest me at all.

sequel movies spoilers

i wrote these when i was watching the movies so they are a little bit messy.

Star wars Force Awakens spoilers

I don't like stormtroopers. I liked the movie but i cant stand seeing stormtroopers, i just cant. (I can't do it after what happened to the clones).

But i liked rey she is a good person like she didn't sell bb8.

a stormtrooper using Anakin Skywalker's and Luke Skywalker's lightsaber. I am not okay with it. Finn might be a good person in the future but for now i don't like him. He just escaped. Thats what he did during the movie.

And Poe. I love him. I love Oscar Isaac. I watched resistance s1 so i knew him and bb8. And i liked them there and here. Their relationship reminds me anakin and r2. And i like them all. They would do anything to save each other.

Han Chewie Leia C3PO R2D2 i love them. They were perfect in here too. If I had watched Star Wars a long time ago, I would have felt more nostalgia. But it still nice nostalgia, i nearly cried. And it hasn't been a month since I've watched the original trilogy.

i didnt like kylo ren. he is crazy(i couldnt find a better word). He resists the light. I am turning to the light help me turn back to dark blah blah...(i dont get it and i didnt like that scene).

I didn't like the idea of ​​their son turning evil. I guess there were different plans for this trilogy, our original trio are trying to bring order to the galaxy. luke was happy han and leia had 3 children and they were all good.(if i am not wrong it is in legends?). ı would've liked it more.

but instead of that we ended up with a stormtrooper. From what I understand, they conditioned the stormtroopers since they were little.

sad but i dont care. that doesnt change the fact that finn lied to poe and rey just to get himself to safety.

han died. he didnt deserve this. han and leia didnt deserve a son like ren.

visuals of the movie was decent. i saw bad things about this trilogy this wasnt too bad but I too would prefer legends story(I suppose) as well.

Newt is in first order🤔

last jedi spoilers

first scene was perfect. it was funny. I love poe.

In the scene where Luke takes the lightsaber, I thought he wouldn't pick it up and throw it, right? yes, yes, he wouldnt. he did.

finn tried to run again. but at least this gave them a good idea.

i like maz (she will probably die). nice, she didnt die.

reys first lesson is funny.

ben solo being their last hope. no. luke is.

yoda...

how did mark hamill let that happen

i thought rose's plan would work too.

i missjudged holdo but. poe. how could ı not trust poe's desicion.

ben solo helped rey. i liked how he killed snoke but they could heve write a better story.

and of course he turned again. well he never turned to the light side he just wanted power. and maybe rey.

they destroyed the lightsaber...

woaw holdo did it. i realised what she was doing at the same time when poe realised. scene was amazing.

there might still be a hope for finn yet(maybe). he acts more decent now. but still i dont like him much.

rose saved finn thats good but why? by saving your loved ones blah blah blah... It would have been more meaningful and better if he had sacrificed herself. well i kinda hated that scene. Maybe it would have been a little better if Rose had at least lived. But if she was going to die anyway, if she sacrificed herself in his place, even one look would be enough instead of the empty words she said during this unnecessary sacrifice. (I thought like this, but she wasn't dead anyways, but it still wasn't good. (I thought, but he wasn't dead anyway, but it still wasn't good. It was done to make Luke's scene. It would have been better without that scene) and dont get me started with the kiss. everyone is at risk because of what you did rose.

luke returned. "no one is ever really gone" thats the man who convinced darth vader. are we supposed to belive the man saying this line tried to kill his student just because he saw his future. i cant belive it.

wow luke it was cool. how did you do that. and he died. (of course) but at least he gave us one last hope. he gave the rebellion hope.

leia is proud of poe they are like mother and son i loved their relationship.

rise of skywalker spoilers

somehow palpatine returned. finally i saw the meme. thats funny.

maul survived why cant palpatine. but they say he died that i dont know. he could have been like maul. survived because of his hatred.

ı didnt see lando coming.

and of course chewie died. no he didnt. chewie is alive.

c3po lost his memory. i think r2 bring some of his memory back?

this trilogy doesnt left many things from the past.

of course hux is the spy. like kallus but kallus was better. he had a story he had a character development he fighted for what he thought was right. hux ... i dont know what else could happen but i didnt like it.

rey is palpatine's granddaughter i already knew it, i saw spoilers before i watched the movie.

and again leia died too. i knew she would die. they will probably kill chewie too. they didnt How nice of them to do that.(!)

han, leia and luke is together again.

poe why. i know finn is your friend but there are better people. more capable and experienced than he is. he was a stormtrooper, come on.

luke returned.

finn you are not a jedi. you cant just launch an attack based on a instinct.

ı am sure palpatine gives power away(!). (he wouldnt imho).

ı didnt like kylo's story it was bad written. why did he turned good? because his mother died?

most of this sequel movies are not wellwritten. i dont hate the actors i liked them but the story was bad so...

in the end rey did kill palpatine. maybe not because of hatred but she did kill him.

is finn a forcewielder?

ben died.

finn didnt even had a proper character development(imo)

rey skywalker. i dont have anything against rey i loved rey. she is good. but i didnt like how she called herself skywalker. like; luke and leia did show up but still something was not right. it would have been better if someone else say that.

voices of jedi past ,

i knew i heard hayden christensen, but they also brought ahsoka and kanan!!!

there maybe things that i didnt understand well because its my firts time finishing star wars but thats my opinions for now.

Up the Mountain -- Chapter 3

[ Read it on AO3 here ]

Kylo opened his eyes and looked straight into those of a meek young boy in multi-coloured robes who dropped the food he’d been arranging and scurried away. Where before there had been a vast cave opening and cold mountain air, there was now a thick veil separating him from the front of the cave and a fire burning in a dug pit. Several piles of food were before him and several pots of aromatics. Gold pots and carvings lined the walls and a purple-and-gold pillow sat before the fire.

    Kylo grabbed some of the food and sat on the pillow to eat. His heart was still heavy and he felt weak. The food sustained him some, but not entirely. He wanted to disappear.

   He’d been thinking back on his life, trying to find some connection to the Force. He knew he hadn’t always been weak. What happened? No matter how hard he tried to reach out, he could feel nothing. He was cut off. Had Snoke done this? Kylo didn’t know if Snoke even could.

   It didn’t matter, though. All was lost. He would die if he was caught by the First Order and he would die if he was caught by the Resistance. His only hope was to remain here on Skoxale, alone from the rest of the Galaxy. If the locals wanted to keep him here in this cave, then fine. He would stay here. It wasn’t like he had any reason to leave. The only person he had a modicum of interest in talking to was Hux and that was only to ask why the hell he’d betrayed the Supreme Leader in the first place.

   A simmering anger settled in his gut. Why had Hux betrayed Snoke? That was where this whole problem began. If Hux hadn’t gotten those treasonous ideas in his head, then Snoke never would have found out that Kylo was too stupid or distracted or weak to find them out.

   No, he couldn’t blame Hux. He knew his connection to the Force was waning. He just wished he knew why. He’d felt strong on the ship and fairly strong after the crash, but a little erratic. Maybe it was the planet, though he was fairly sure that wasn’t how the Force worked.

   And besides, how strong could he have been on the ship if he hadn’t been able to find out Hux?

   It stung a little, he had to admit. He had judged Hux so incorrectly, been so blindsided.

   It had all started two years ago, when they’d been working together for six months. He had caught Hux in one of the upper viewing decks, drinking one of the sour teas he loved and Kylo hated. It had been late in the day and Kylo had doffed his mask and was carrying it under an arm.

   They didn’t speak, which was probably why things progressed the way they did. Hux’s right hand was resting on the railing and Kylo let his left do the same, his pinky finger just barely touching Hux’s. It was bold and stupid and not really for any reason besides the fact that Hux smelled nice that evening and Kylo was agitated. But Hux didn’t move away. They didn’t look at each other and they said nothing, but Kylo had thought about it later that night and for several nights afterwards.    From then on, Kylo would find himself in similar situations with Hux. One of them would just barely toe the line and the other would simply let him, whether it was Hux leaning a shoulder against him as they gripped the overhead bars on a bumpy transport or Kylo standing close enough to appreciate Hux’s woody aftershave as they spoke after a meeting with the Supreme Leader. It was nothing exactly, but it was enough that Kylo now felt terribly betrayed or cheated in some way, both by Hux and Snoke. Hadn’t the Supreme Leader been able to sense Hux’s treason himself? Hadn’t he known what Hux was doing to Kylo?

   Kylo cursed the Supreme Leader and all the Sith. He cursed the Jedi, the Resistance, the Order, and Hux, too, for good measure. He tried desperately to feel the Force, to grab out at it.

There was nothing.

He got up and kicked at the gold pots, making a terrific crash. He wanted to punch the solid rock but knew it wouldn’t budge. Instead, he just collapsed back down and wept for the first time in a long while.

When he finally rose, the fire had burned down considerably and he felt awful. He needed to get out of this stuffy cave and clear his head before he fully snapped. The air was hot and thickly spiced from the pots of aromatics. He felt woozy and a little weak.

   He stood shakily and made it through the first veil. There were more golden statues and more pots of that stupid incense that was making his head swim. He fell to his knees, then grabbed his lightsaber. What was wrong with him? He hadn’t felt this powerless in years.

   He heard voices and tried to stand again. His knees felt like butter. He grit his teeth and stood again, but stars danced before his eyes and he fell.

   A sly voice whispered to him. Why are you trying so hard?

   Why don’t you lay down?

   Sleeeeeeep.

[desireandduty]

This outburst of anger made Padmé scoot backwards on the bed, away from the seething red plasma of his Sith lightsaber. She watched with wide eyes as he destroyed the holoprojector and wondered if perhaps the danger she had sensed herself to be in was due in some small part to him. But then he turned around to face her, and the expression on his face was so dejected that Padmé knew she would do anything to help him.

"All right," she replied to his request for help and almost immediately regretted it when he explained what he wanted her to do. She'd never handled a lightsaber before, particularly not a red blade, and holding this one was unsettling to say the least. The blade was like molten rage, barely contained by its hilt, and it felt as though some of that anger was seeping back into her as she grasped it in her small, slender hands and lifted it up over her grandson's head as he knelt before her.

But no - she stopped herself before she actually moved the blade. She was not angry. She was not going to let this Sith instrument influence her. She was hopeful. She was doing this to help her grandson, her own flesh and blood who she already loved merely because he was hers, who the Force had somehow allowed her to meet despite the future waiting for her when she returned to her own time. Maybe somehow they could improve both of their futures, through what they did here and now.

She steeled herself for what she was about to do and then carefully began to cut away the tracking device buried in the base of his neck. She would have known where to cut even without Kylo pointing to the spot, because this device was implanted in the exact same spot where Anakin bore a scar, where his tracking device had been implanted in him as a toddler. Face set in grim determination, she cut the device out and flung it to the floor, barely resisting the urge to squash it beneath her heel. Slavery had been Anakin's past. She would not allow it to be their grandson's future.

----

Padmé wasn't sure why, but after that, Kylo seemed to snap into action. She followed him through the corridors of the ship, marveling proudly at how well he managed to disguise her. They sneak into the medbay to find some clothing for her. It's the worst sort of outfit she's ever allowed herself to be seen in: some ill-fitting, baggy trousers that were wide enough for her belly but so long that she had to roll them up three times so as not to trip on them. They did at least find her shoes that fit, as well as a plain black tunic that is also too big but at least can fit around her belly.

It was in the medbay that she'd insisted upon the first alteration to his plan: in grabbing medical supplies like bacta, cloths for bandaging, pain medicines, the like. Things that would help them deal with any future injuries... or her if these twins of hers come early. Before they commandeered a ship, she'd added her final alteration to his plan by demanding that they bring with them the same holocron he'd opened that had brought her so far into the future. Perhaps it could send her back to her own time. She didn't know, but she thought they may as well bring it with them.

And now, here they were, in a ship that she wasn't sure would be marked as stolen or not, in hyperspace and on their way to.... "What coordinates did you set?" she asked, looking over at him. Her eyes met his for a moment, matching his smile with one of her own. Somehow they hadn't actually discussed this while they were racing through the ship. Her gaze shifted to his neck and the red dent in the back of his neck where she'd cut out the tracker. "Does it still hurt? I can put a bacta patch on it."

@desireandduty ://

"Yes!" he rasped, exasperated. "I have been telling you that you're not safe here. We've lost ten minutes. Please—"

Kylo glared at the flashing holoprojector and incinerated it in an instant, allowing Padmé a glimpse of his saber's sizzling red crossguards and expunging any doubts she might have had about which side had won.

He'd done a good bit more than incinerate it... but now that he'd obliterated the deck and razed the spartan table, Kylo felt he could collect himself and do what needed to be done.

"I'm sorry," he said breathlessly. "But I had to make it stop."

After a moment, he blew his hair out of his face and turned to Padmé. Again, gazing at her with an air of utter despondency.

"Before we go... I have something to ask of you."

Perhaps Padmé was Force-sensitive and didn't know it, like his mother, who had in her lifetime proved to be rather adept, or perhaps her children were bonded to her in utero—another matter to mull over later—but Kylo saw on her face and felt in his heart that she knew he was trapped and that she would be prepared to carry out a task as grave as the one he was about to bestow.

He handed Padmé the saber, showed her its hilt, and how he intended her to use it. Once he felt certain she knew what to do, Kylo knelt and bent his head, and pushing his hair off the back of his neck, he showed Padmé what he intended her to remove. 

~~~

Everything that came after felt effortless because there was pain. No matter how dire his situation, Kylo could always depend on pain to get him through. Pain brought him back somehow, back to his body, back to the present. He could think. He could plan. 

Through pain, he mustered a Force cloak that would shield Padmé from sight until they boarded their stolen ship. She was too heavily pregnant for any disguise. For Kylo's part, he abandoned everything except the saber. He took the shell off a squad leader so he'd be given immediate clearance. And when he wasn't given clearance, he merely said, 'Just give me the ship,' and they were escorted to a choice transport. 

He'd seen his father practically pull the same move with a blaster. That Padmé didn't know who her daughter had her child with was probably for the best. 

Kylo managed to keep the cloak on Padmé until the ship got through the hangar and dropped it as soon as they touched the black, doing so with an audible sigh of relief, which in another moment became an audible groan. When he’d abandoned everything, that included the tracking implant.

The wound it left on the nape of his neck had been cauterized and still burned. He tore the trooper's helmet off his head and tossed it behind him. 

Padmé sat in the co-pilot's seat, wearing what she'd scavenged from the medbay and two blasters. Kylo looked her way and offered a weak smile. He was free, and the stars were unthinkable in their brilliance as they jumped into hyperspace, and his grandmother was alive. They were all all alive.

Everything that came after this would be arduous. Blood-chilling, too, he supposed. Thrilling. Terrible. Above all, impossible.

A/N: I was making a Star Wars marathon and while watching the final scenes of The Last Jedi, i thought of that for some reason

"Leia, let me help you" you offered to Leia, holding out your hand to help her walk on the Millenium Falcon

"My Darling, we both know that i'm not the one who needs help" she laughed, eyes scanning over your growing belly "But i appreciate it either way"

You smiled at her, her right hand tapped your left cheek softly and up she went to the ship. You stayed behind with Rey to make sure that all of the survivors of the Resistance got inside safetly, hand carressing your belly.

You were at least 5 months long or so, you were pretty sure that you were almost 6, you lost count when all the attacks ordered by The First Order surrounded you. You sighed remembering that that meant that it was really that long since...you last saw your husband, your last encounter with Kylo Ren, it was really that long ago, even if you and him had a connection bridge trough the force way before you started to admit to have feelings for him back on the Jedi training time with Luke Skywalker, you refused to let the connection happen for the sake of your unborn baby.

You had no idea of what Kylo Ren would be able to do of he discovered that you were pregnant with his child, you always got worriedly sick thinking of it, so you did the best you could to hide the pregnancy from him, using the Force to make a fog up on the tracks of your baby, you still remember the last time you had one of your encounters, way before Rey appeared, way before things with The First Order angainst the Resistance got thicker in tension because of the back of the Jedi.

"Y/N/N? Hey, keep your mind back here" you looked up blinking rapidly, Ben's broad form in front of you, you squinted your eyes looking up at him and shielding your eyes from the burning sun light with your hands "Here you are darling everything's ok? You dissociated a moment back there"

He told you worriedly, face full of concern looking down at you, hand carressing yours softly. You were in a planet that The First Order couldn't reach you and Be- Kylo Ren on your monthly encounters, you were actually pretty tired of only being able to see him one time a month and even if you always were happy to see your husband, it wasn't the same since he turned to the dark side few years ago, you took well the first times, overjoyed to be with him for two or three days before you would part ways yet again, it was hard, hard loving him the way things how they were now, but you could handle it, right? You always thought that you could, but for two months now, you started to fear your encounters.

Kylo always tried to get you to join him on the dark side, so far deep on his fed hatred by Snoke even if you could see a little disturbence on him and the last bit of light while you always tried to bring him back home, for the sake of Leia and Han, and for the sake of the unborn baby you discovered to be carrying some weeks ago. The unborn little one would need their father present, but you couldn't let it happen while he was on the dark side, that would be the last time you would see him, it broke your heart, but you knew it was for the best.

"Yes, i'm sorry honey, i'm just tired, need some rest that's all" you smiled at him while seating down, pushing him lightly to be with you "Come lay with me"

Without a single resistance, he got rid of his gloves, shoes and cape and layed down on the little made up bed you had separated for your monthly encounters. He pushed you by the waist, your arms circling his neck, head on his chest and his cheek on the top of your head, hands softly carressing your hair.

It still pained you to remember the day you left without saying goodbye to him, you had be gone way before he woke up, ending your connection with him trough the force and hiding your baby whenever he would try to connect with you again, it was hard the first months but you soon got too busy helping Leia, the Resistance and focusing on your growing baby that everything with Kylo turned tolerable, not easy cause you could never get rid of how much you missed him.

"Y/N/N, everyone's already inside the ship, we should go" Rey's voice brought you back to the present, a soft smile on her lips as she extended her hand for you to hold "Let me help you"

"You such a sweet Rey, thank you, let's get out of this ice cube" you smiled at her and took her hand, her free hand going to your back as she helped you up and inside, worried gaze traveling from your face to your growing belly

"You have already thought of a name?" she asked, mentioned to your belly "Any ideas?"

"I have a few, but there's one that it would suit her well" you smiled as you looked at her, already inside the ship, hands carressing it softly

"Her? You think it's a girl?"

"Something just tell that it's a girl, can you feel it?"

You asked her excitedly, she closed her eyes and took a short while till her lips started to form a big smile, hands instantly on your stomach "I can feel her"

"Her?" You heard a well known voice and before you could have a reaction, you and Rey felt a pull made by the force, your hands turned sweaty as you and Rey turned to look outside of the ship, there stood, even if it was only a projection, Kylo Ren. You knew that he and Rey had some sort of connection by the force just like you and him but you had blocked him months back and as you were watching him and Rey go back and forth about how he had murdered Han, his own father, you felt a kick against your belly, a hand fastly over it and all the power you were using to hide your baby presence from him vanished from the surprise kick.

Kylo Ren never turned so fastly in his entire life, even during his little rage bickering back and forth with the Rey girl, his eyes never leaved your frame and when he felt a fourth presence, he frowned and then his eyes doubled in size by seeing your hand carressing your growing belly. It was then that everything downed on him: you were pregnant and he knew that he didn't need to search further to know that you were carrying his child, all this months of you blocking him whenever he tried the connection and you always not having that much time to be with him, you were hiding his child from him.

Kylo Ren always felt a disturbence on the force whenever you and him would connect and he never knew the cause, now he knew it pretty well and something inside of him just shaked by knowing you were expactating his child. You on the other hand were sweating, your hands trembling a little as the wind whispered your clothes and hair around you, you had to end the connection now.

Sensing you uneasyness, Rey quickly sprung to action, made a snark comment directed to him and pressed the button that would close the door.

"Y/N..." Kylo whispered, voice heavy and you could take a fast glance at him to see his eyes to get glossy and then the door closed, the connection ended and you sighed heavily, holding onto Rey that fastly got by your side seeing you getting pale and the Millennium Falcon took off.

When he couldn't no long reach either Rey or you, Kylo was looking back at a wall, he felt frustration tears leave his eyes and rage overtook him as he destroyed the room he was inside. He knew he gave up on a lot of things, did a lot of things for the sake of the dark side, but there was only much he could take, he already was separated from his lovely wife and now he just discovered that you were carrying his child, his unborn baby girl and as he destroyed more things, he thought if he could ever be able to have you in his arms again and if he would ever be able to carry his daughter on his arms.

Kylo Ren did many wrong choices but he never wanted to lost the both of you on the same time as now.
