AU where Ben Solo, renamed Kylo Ren by Snoke, is an actual child when he gets taken in by the First Order.
He is basically used as their enforcer, since his Force powers are strong enough to be useful despite him being so young, and it is all he is trained for beside. He does the mind probe, moves things with the Force etc. He does all that because the people that take care of him tell him to, and they are very nice to him and still want him when mummy and daddy abandoned him.
As far as Snoke is concerned, it is a great acquisition and a perfect human shield against the Resistance.
Bonus: + Kylo and Hux have a father/son typer relationship, where Hux doesn't object to him being placed in service of the First order, but still takes care of Kylo when the day is done. It is as tender as things can be in the First Order. ++ Poe sees Ben on Jakku, and tries rescuing him when he escapes with Finn. Ben panics. Hux looses his shit. Phasma closely follows.
Kylo is actually a child. Warning for child abuse, child soldiers
