Me and @swingandswirl are working on a Kylux AU with trans Kylo, and I got so inspired by our last exchange that I had to draw a little something for this future fic. And what better time to post it than Trans Tuesdays? Big thanks to @the-pudding-is-a-lie and @kxlorren for their encouragement when I got completely frustrated with this piece.
Here’s the very basic outline of what’s going on in the AU:
The whole story starts well before the events of TFA, with Hux finding out that Kylo binds with ace bandages and takes it upon himself ot make sure that Ren doesn’t accidentally kill himself.
Feelings develop, and somehow they end up as the Emperor and his Knight? In a very happy relationship in a relatively peaceful galaxy? And Kylo is actually a lot more mentally stable with Hux by his side? And Hux is negotiating with Leia how Kylo’s family can keep in touch with Ren, bc Kylo might be better but he simply cannot take even just talking to them via a holo call. And Hux, to prove to Leia that he is not holding Ren against his will and preventing him from seeing his family, shows her some photos of Kylo.
And my inspiration (which I will probably turn into a set of drawings later):
Phil, now I am imagining the photos and dying of cute. Because there’s five of them. A formal portrait of Kylo. Kylo reading to Lena and Noah. Kylo sitting at a table in a fuzzy oversized sweater and colourful stripey socks, totally engrossed in his colouring. Kylo in the kitchen. Kylo practising with his saber. And one more, maybe a selfie of him and hux?
