FILL: Kylux - Lords of Wild Space 3a/4
Hey guys, thank you so much for your reviews. They were really inspiring, and actually led to some sort of “problem”: I really want to develop your requests/suggestions, but at the same time, they can’t fit in this one story. I really want to give OP a complete, stand alone fill, so here is my questions:
Would you guys be interested in giving me prompts/asks on this AU on my tumblr? I am going to post the fic on AO3, and could post any additional fic/drabble in this AU there. It would be easier for me to continue like this than on dreamwidth. Please tell me in the comments if there is any interest!
And on that very long Author Note, here is part 3!
They were moved from the black tent to a larger, crimson colored one. Leia hadn’t seen it when she first arrived, so she could only assume it had been mounted while the negotiations took place.
It was impressive, considering the work that was obviously involved. Not only had setting up the tent required at least fifteen people, but the inside had been completely furnished with thick tapestries, plush cushions and low tables. There were no dining table or high chairs in sight, meaning they were intended to eat on the ground.
It was, all in all, a surprisingly comfortable arrangement: there were more than enough pillows and small stools for everyone, and the slight heat coming off of the mossy ground gave a pleasant warmth. Of course, a few of her colleagues found it difficult to sit down in their long robes, but Leia could only imagine that Hux wasn’t too heartbroken about that.
Food was brought out, simple fare but tasty and plentiful. More importantly, wine was brought as well, and Leia saw a few of the delegates indulge more than precaution would dictate.
It seems many of them still haven’t recovered from Thanisson’s brutal end earlier that night.
For Hux and Ben, however, that matter seemed to have been forgotten entirely. It was very nearly sickening.
Her son had washed and changed out of his bloody clothes, but Leia couldn’t bring herself to rejoice at that since his new outfit was hardly any better. The bottom half was nothing noteworthy, practical if slightly form-fitting pants tucked into well-used boots. And yes, the pants hung rather low on the waist, but that wasn’t what made Leia’s teeth clench.
Ben was wearing something that might have been a light coat once, all black fabric and gold embroidery down to mid-thigh. But the sleeved had been torn off, leaving his arms bare, and it was much too small for him to close ; his bare chest was more than exposed to everyone’s eyes, and more importantly, to Hux’s hands.
The warlord had Ben sitting on his lap, long limbs tangled with his, Ben’s back pressed against Hux’s chest. His long fingers were trailing all over her son’s skin, lingering on the well-defined eight-pack in a light yet possessive caress. Ben leaned into the touch, chuckling at something Hux whispered in his ear then gasping when a pink tongue came to lick the crook of his neck.
Next to her, Poe made a sound of dismay. Leia’s grip around her cup tightened.
“Is all well, Senator Organa? One would think you are not enjoying yourself.”
Leia looked up. The woman speaking to her was rather small, red hair largely streaked with red pulled in a loose bun at the back of her head. Like everyone here, her clothes were more practical than esthetical, but she still wore a few pieces of jewelry as embellishments.
She would have looked harmless, perhaps even benevolent, if it weren’t for her blue-grey eyes, which were filled with calculation as she looked at Leia.
“I assure you that is not the case, Lady Hux,” the Senator answered, adopting the coldly polite tone she reserved for her less-liked peers. She recognized the woman from her briefing-files ; she was one of the few people here who had Empire-era identification data, and therefore a picture to match the name.
The old woman smiled, sweetly polite and minimally sincere. “You are uncomfortable, then?”
“Not at all.”
There was nothing inviting in Leia’s words, but that doesn’t stop Lady Hux from sitting down next to her, leaning towards her like the close friends they are not. “I understand that people from the Core worlds may be unfamiliar with this seating arrangement.” She gestures towards the decor. “It had become something of a tradition here, you see, a sign of good intent. Much more difficult to attack someone when sitting cross legged on the floor.”
If this was suppose to be an intimidation technique, it was a poor one. “As I said, I am fine.”
The Lady smiled tightly before diverting her attention to Poe. “Young man, kindly remind me of your name?”
The pilot frowned. “Poe Dameron… my Lady,” he added after a moment of deliberation.
“Dear Poe,” the old woman simpered, “would you mind giving Senator Organa and me some privacy? I wish to speak about matters that are for her ears only.”
Poe hesitated, looking at Leia for confirmation.
Loathe as she was to give in to the woman’s demands, Leia nodded once. She knew her pilot wouldn’t be far away should anything happen.
All too soon, she was left alone with Lady Hux, whose attention was trained on their sons.
“I saw you watching our boys,” she said, not looking away. “They make quite a pair, do they not?”
The topic of conversation was expected, but it didn’t stop Leia from stiffening slightly. Whatever followed, it would not be pleasant, and so she weighed each word as she spoke. “I wasn’t aware of their relationship until very recently.”
“You weren’t aware of much at all,” Lady Hux answered airily.
The flippant yet destructive words were like a punch in the gut, and for a moment Leia was left breathless at just how casually the woman could toy with an open wound.
Then again, Hux is a mother as well ; she would know exactly where to strike.
“Ah, but you shouldn’t blame yourself,” she added with false compassion. Leia hated her. “Force suppressing shackles are rare, but not impossible to find, and necessary if a slave-trader wants to keep his special bounty hidden.”
Leia thought of the shackles around Ben’s wrists… But no, those were too delicate, too finely crafted to hold the technology necessary. “He doesn’t wear them any more.”
The Lady hummed in agreement. “I admit I don’t understand the mechanism behind it. I have not a lick of Force sensitivity, and dear Kylo is not the most eloquent teacher when it comes to explaining such things.” She shook her head fondly.
Leia could taste jealousy, like bile in her mouth. That Hux, both of them, could claim such familiarity with Ben when she could not...
She didn’t let it show, however. She wouldn’t let this woman win.
“From what I gathered, he has become quite skilled at hiding himself from other Force users,” the Lady finally concluded, “though I have no idea how he developed that talent.”
“There were many looking for him. Not just my family.”
Leia thought of Snoke, the danger that had been lurking for so long. When she lost Ben, she had been terrified that Snoke would get his hands on him. It had been a perverse sort of relief when she learned that he too could not find him. Right now, she couldn’t help but be relieved that Ben had managed to hide from him ; that he had wanted to at all.
Of course, with that joy came the bitter truth that Snoke hadn’t been the only one Ben was hiding from.

“How strange, you wouldn’t have thought it when I purchased him,” Lady Hux commented almost humorously. “No one wanted him, too dangerous. I dare say the vendor was almost relieved when I took him out of his hands.”
Leia’s world came to a stop. She turned her head sharply, eyes wide as she took in the red headed woman, who was still smiling kindly, looking at her son with warm eyes that turned cold when she looked upon Leia.
“You bought him?” the Senator asked slowly.
“Hmmm… Dear Brendan,” the Lady explained, gesturing towards her son, “was overworking himself. Our situation wasn’t nearly as stable as it is now, you see, and he does worry so. I thought a distraction would do him some good, and Kylo…” She chuckled playfully. “Well, his physique is quite impressive, isn’t it?”
Leia closed her eyes. She knew the woman was toying with her, knew she was trying to get a reaction out of her so as to gain more leverage.
That knowledge only stopped her from striking Hux; it didn’t keep the growl out of her voice. “You bought my son… to make him Hux’s whore?!”
The Lady raised an eyebrow. “Of course not. Whore’s get paid. I got him as a plaything.” She huffed. “Of course, Brendan never really knew how to play. Only became interested in Kylo when he positively destroyed three of his best men for their wandering hands.”
“He made him fight in his battles.”
That, of all things, is what made the woman’s pleasant demeanor fall. Her smile disappeared, her eyes turned cold, and there was something almost defensive about her tone. “Don’t underestimate your son so. He is a survivor, he adapted quickly.” She looked towards Ben, still sitting on the lap of these worlds’ King. “And now he thrives.”
Leia looked once more - it seemed that was all she could do these days, look and not act - only this time she looked at Hux the son. He didn’t look much like his mother beyond the coloring, but the two of them had the same manierism, same way of expressing themselves. In that sense, talking to the mother was nearly the same as talking to the son.
There were so many things she wanted to ask, about Ben’s past, his present, the fate they had in store for him. Some answers she could deduce, others she could guess. But for the most important question, perhaps the only one that truly mattered, she couldn’t trust whatever answer these snakes might give.
Was he happy? Was he loved?
Some horrible, selfish part of her wished he wasn’t. It would be so much easier to bring him home then.
“What is it that you wish to tell me?” she asked finally, the safest of all her questions. “You did not send Poe away just to gloat.”
“Who is gloating?”
Leia looked at the woman coldly. “Do not insult my intelligence, Lady Hux. I am more than familiar enough with politics to hear the true intent behind words.”
Lady Hux made a conceding gesture, unfailingly polite and still so insincere.
“So I ask again,” Leia said. “What is it that you want?”
The woman seemed to contemplate her answer. Leia didn’t know if it was for show or if their conversation had truly altered the intended message. It didn’t really matter, she supposed.
“I wish to say…” Lady Hux finally started. “I love my son just as much as you love your own. I will protect his happiness.”
She reached out for Leia’s hand, a completely uninvited gesture that the Senator couldn’t reject without somehow loosing. So she remained still, never breaking eye contact. The woman may have been leading the conversation, but that in no way meant that she held any sort of power over Leia.
Lady Hux was the first to look away. It was a small victory.
“Whatever plans you have towards Kylo,” Hux said, “I suggest you give up on them.” For once, her tone matched the threat her words implied.
“I have no plans beyond getting to know my son,” Leia lied.
Lady Hux looked at her, blue eyes narrowing. “As you say.”
With that she got up, not even saying goodbye or any sort of platitude. Leia did not mind for a second. She watched her leave, and was completely unsurprised to find her making her way towards their son.
Perhaps it was because she was sitting close to the two, or maybe it was because the entire world had faded away, but in that moment Leia heard the exchange as clearly as if she had been right beside the three.
“Madame,” Ben greeted. He used the title slaves reserved for their owners so casually, almost teasingly. His smile was pure mischief when he added, “You intrude.”
Behind him, Hux the son smirked, and the Lady smiled indulgently. “Past a certain age, that is a mother’s only resource if she wishes to see her son,” she said, looking at the warlord pointedly. “Even if it is only to bid him good night.”
“Leaving so soon?” Hux asked in mock confusion. His hand never strayed from where they were caressing Ben’s skin. “Old age must be getting to you.”
“That, and a tiresome son,” the Lady shot back. “I trust the two of you will enjoy yourselves without me.”
Ben sighed dramatically. “I will try to forget my sorrow, Madame.”
“Then let me reassure you that at least a part of you is doing very well with happiness,” she answered airily, glancing down at Ben’s crotch. Hux snorted, Ben blushed slightly but still chuckled. The Lady looked satisfied. “And with that, I take my leave.”
She left the tent then, and leaving the two men still snickering. Then Ben twisted slightly, hand disappearing into Hux’s vest, and the warlord leaned in for a kiss that wouldn’t have been acceptable in public back on the Core worlds.
Leia heard Poe come back to sit next to her.
“Are you okay, Senator?” he asked quietly.
Leia swallowed. “I am as fine as can be expected.”
Poe put his hand on her shoulder. The touch was one of the few things that ground her at that moment. “There is still hope. You finally found him, and I can tell from the way he looks at me that he remembers me.” A pause. “We’ll get him back.”
Leia looked at Ben, whispering into Hux’s ear, drinking from his cup, purposefully oblivious to anyone else in the tent.
He was a boy, just a boy when everything was taken away from him. And even if what Lady Hux said is true, even if he did rise on top of everything… They still took advantage.
When Ben was ten, she used to worry about the dark in him, and she knew he could sense that. She thought he understood, thought he knew that didn’t mean she loved him any less, but when he disappeared it was like a catalyst to the reveal of all her failures. So much time spent worrying about the Dark and the shadow she felt looming over him, when she should have been cultivating and celebrating all the Light within his instead.
There was so much of it, in the way he dotted over baby Rey, insisted on combing Chewie’s fur, played Dejarik with his father over and over again, thinking he was helping him improve and not realizing Han was letting him win.
She had planned on sending him to train with Luke, who would have been best able to help Ben understand the Force, the Light, the Dark. To be a Jedi, if he wanted, but more importantly to find peace.
And then she lost him. Han lost him.
And they turned her sweet son into someone who could brutally kill a man and laugh not ten minutes later.
He was a boy, he was alone, he was a slave. How could they say he chose anything? What other options were available?
Leia watched Hux take her son by the hand and exit the tent. Most of the delegate didn’t notice, a few nodded their heads as they made their excuses. One of them looked relieved.
As Ben stepped outside and disappeared into the night, she had to stomp down the fear of never seeing him again.

(Anonymous) 2016-04-29 10:23 am (UTC)(link)And I would be very, very interested to see additional content to this fill's world so YES to the tumblr prompts!
Re: FILL: Kylux - Lords of Wild Space 3b/4
Those two pairing were really fun for me to write. I really like the idea of the exiled Imperials building a new culture out in the Outer Rim, and the Huxs+Kylo are a great way for me to explore that, with Leia acting as the "straight man" as it were. ^^
And I'm glad you're interested in the tumblr prompts! I think it's going to happen, since I'm almost dying for an excuse to write more of this AU anyway. So if you want to drop a prompt/idea in my inbox, feel free to do so!
Re: FILL: Kylux - Lords of Wild Space 3b/4
(Anonymous) 2016-04-29 12:07 pm (UTC)(link)Adore your Lady Hux. What a beautiful old fox she is. And poor, poor Leia. And the part about worrying too much about the dark when she have encouraged Ben in his light really hit home.
Then again, had she known what Snoke would have turned Ben into, she really should feel a little relieved.
Re: FILL: Kylux - Lords of Wild Space 3b/4
This Lady Hux is completely based on the glimpse of her in your prompt, which was glorious and I wish I could have included in the fic. ^^
The thing is that since Leia will never know what would have happened to Ben, she'll always cling to the idea that if he had gone to Luke, things would have been better.
And thank you for agreeing to the tumblr prompts! If you have anything more you want to request, just drop by my askbox! :)

(Anonymous) 2016-04-29 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)I came here for the wild outer rim Kylux but now I'm all like 'Leia don't deserve this' and I really want her to have her son back even though she could only do that with a time machine. I am a mess right now. Don't touch me, I'm emotional.
Also, I'd love to leave prompts (I may have done this commenting to the previous parts :P). Are you planning on making this a series on AO3? (fangirl moment: I was rereading your other Kylux series there just yesterday. It's amazing)
Re: FILL: Kylux - Lords of Wild Space 3b/4
No, really, the Organa-Solo family ruined me and I'll never be alright again.
Yes, I'm thinking of making this a series on AO3. Probably something like this fic as a starting point, and then other fics added according to prompts. (I as going to say drabbles, but that would require me writing short pieces, and that rarely happens.^^) So feel free to drop by my tumblr to leave a message!
(And thank you so much for your comment on my other fic! I have the next installment planned out, I just need to *write* '==)
Re: FILL: Kylux - Lords of Wild Space 3b/4
(Anonymous) 2016-04-29 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)Re: FILL: Kylux - Lords of Wild Space 3b/4
That being inside "Leia Bad Times while Kylux make out" should be the name of this fic. ^^
Re: FILL: Kylux - Lords of Wild Space 3b/4
(Anonymous) 2016-04-30 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)I wonder then, if they'd be weirded out by public displays of agenda-free earnest emotion?
Like, Poe gives Leia a comforting hug or something (because of her endlessly cascading bad times) and everyone from the Outer Rim is like "Booo! Gross!" "Get a tent, you two! We don't need to see that!" "Umm, could you NOT express your sexless affection in here? Decent people are trying to makeout with their enslaved killers!!"
Re: FILL: Kylux - Lords of Wild Space 3b/4
When it comes to PDA, please avoid having *actual* sex in front of us, we probably don't want to see it unless we're in that mood. But since all these people lived without the luxury of privacy, since they had nothing and were to busy fighting for their lives, they are sort of de-sensitized. It's not uncommon for someone to wait outside someone's door until they are done, and they just step in and start talking.
On the other hand, they still have Empire era emotional modesty. Public displays of emotion are just not done. So, if Poe were to give Leia a hug, they'd be all "Oh... Uh, you do you, I gues... weirdos." Cause obviously, these people have no boundaries. Also, they aren't even related, what gives?
Re: FILL: Kylux - Lords of Wild Space 3b/4
(Anonymous) 2016-04-30 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)*i know what i'm going to be prompting on tumblr if you do get the series started tbh*
*goes back to drowning in feels*
what an amazing characterization, though :D :D
